Full points and SCs for classic rewards booking

[justinbrett]

I flew BA16 all the way from SYD to LHR last week In J. It was a very vanilla classic rewards booking, via web, months ago and never made any changes to it, nor did the airline.

I’ve just noticed now that I’ve been given full SCs for the flight, and even more because it’s listed SYD-SIN and SIN-LHR separately despite being on the same flight number. 180 SCs in total.

Very strange.

<ObiwanKenoby> You are mistaken and confused, this never happened, there is no IT glitch </ObiwanKenoby>

Sometimes, the best thing to do is keep quiet. (Realistically, it comes down to what BA sent across)

Yes, fight club, something something, recommend edit/delete thread unless the goal is to have the error in your favour reversed

It never happened right.

Points Club enhancement!

Yep. PC+ and also got a few random SC on BA flights

I have had a couple of such events in the past...both times I brought it to their attention and was allowed to keep the ill-gotten points and SC's.

I admire your honesty! I would've just pocketed it without making a sound (and I would justify it as swings and roundabouts - e.g. compensation for all the times my AY coded BA operated flights were refused credit)

I was tempted, but I am one of those people who never get away with anything, so I figured it was better not to have something potentially hanging over my head!

Well, if we're spilling all the beans then I'll reveal that MH rewards do this too in my experience. Full SCs (well, you get Flex Econ for Business, but that's because of QF/MH beef)

Nobody likes the mess created by spilt beans.

They’re a nightmare to clean up and can very rarely be put back in the can.

Just had the same thing occur for LHR-JFK on BA. It was a completely different ticket (also classic rewards J).

I don’t actually need the SCs as I’ve already requalified for WP (even before the SYD-LHR SCs) so not too worried if they take them back.

I never had this happen, even without Points Club, on a classic rewards business class BA SYD-SIN back in April - so lets stop all this rumor mongering All those SCs expire too soon anyway

That's great, now please do everyone else a favour ...

That was a great dream about the alternate reality universe you posted. Sounds like a nice place to be (except perhaps BA J? )
