Bonus VA status credits offer - March 2024

[Auski]

Mine have posted. One flight which was changed to direct, I had to chase up original routing credit which was posted. Should the bonus status credits apply to the original routing? Probably worth a call.

Called and got an additional 20 SC added against the original routing credit I had already received. Quite painless, operator understood what I was asking for and arranged quickly. The call centre is working very well (for Gold).

I've previously had promotional issues with bookings via FCM, anyone yet to have theirs post where the booking originated with FCM/corp travel?

Still (impatiently) waiting for these status credits to drop. Anyone else in the same boat?

I just checked my Activity and was wondering hat the 65SCs posted 24 March 'Back to Business' were for. Then I saw this thread!

The final qualifying flight was 18 February.

I'm still waiting. Though I'm not sure how mine will appear seeing as I had family pooling switched on during the promotion to tip +1 back over to SG and then switched pooling off a couple of weeks ago in the hope of those bonus SCs landing in my account. Will need to check +1's activity statement to see if he got 1 or 2 lots of bonus SCs seeing as we both took a few eligible flights during the promo period.

The rest of my April flights SC came through. Because they were flown before the bonus SC were posted and the flight SC were credited after the bonus SC, none April flights SC don't count towards my renewal. I'm worse off towards requalification than I would have been had I not activated the offer in the first place. What a terribly run promotion.

Well you clicked the bait (literally making it a clickbait). Lol would have signed up for it (easy plat). Would have been useful but I can't get the sector upgrades anymore on Choice seats so no marginal benefits for me whatsoever versus gold except for more bonus points. I'd probably do it for the J upgrades but then again not a fan of the coleslaw meals so it depends how comfortable the seats are and I don't find much value in economy X seats. I figured I'd go with Qatar so I can enjoy the best of both worlds. But if the right time comes I might considering taking on the offer.

I hadn’t been worrying about them, but they had posted when I checked:

So, my bonus SC finally arrived after a call. Turns out that flights operated by Alliance were not automatically counted in the promotion. Doing a status run today to get myself over that Gold line.

Was anyone successful with obtaining the bonus status credits with flights booked outside but flown within promotion period?

Why would anyone be successful? It’s pretty clear those bookings aren’t eligible for the bonus.

Yeah, my other half had some pre-promo flight credited. Mine weren’t though. Luck of the draw I think.

Interesting email just received. Am sure this will make a few people happy.

Well....they ONLY gave themselves 4 weeks to tally them up...

 

[RooFlyer]

Wow. Fessed up and will recognise any consequences for status review.

I've called them twice and still waiting -- first call they claim 4 flights 85 credits, second call they would only credit 2 flights, 45 credits -- said would be applied within 24 hrs, call back and it's a week minimum... been 10 days... nothing.

what an amateurish mob
