Bookings by 1 April, changes after 2 April - status credits?

[oz61]

If I book a flex flight by 1 April, I currently earn status based on the old system. If I subsequently change that flight eg to a different date after 2 April, will I still earn status based on the original booking i.e. the old rate or will I then be subject to the new 1 point for every $12? I have read the conditions, just cannot find a clear answer.

Whatever benefits VA would be my guess.

There's nothing that I can see in the T&Cs that says changes disqualify a booking from the pre-April rates, so I would assume plain language means if the PNR is created prior to that date any changes will still earn at the current rates.

That said, I wouldn't hang my hat on it.

Which is why I was asking! I will try calling and seeing if they will give a definitive answer. I just realised that booking now may make achieving status next year a lot easier if I get points for miles instead of points per $ spend.
