Sitting in NZ Business Class... am VA VR member (PS)

[AustraliaPoochie]

For the VA rep or anyone who has flown Air New Zealand business as a Velocity member.
Booking made directly with the Air New Zealand website for ADL - SYD (class C) - SYD - AKL (class D) on one occasion - linked ticket, one wayl Coming back in economy (class L).
And then on another occasion, just SYD - AKL (class D).
Question is on the business class side, do I earn Velocity Rewards frequent flyer points and Velocity Status Credits at the same rate as if I were flying a Virgin Australia business seat on a Virgin Australia aircraft?

Its quite clear in the earn tables, you earn as per the Air NZ table

Points Earn with Airline Partners | Velocity Frequent Flyer

Which for a non VA status holder, means no difference.

Ah. Ok.
But it seems like both are the same earn rates for FF miles and SC, flying Virgin Australia and Air New Zealand. For flying business. Flying economy earn rates for Air New Zealand are lower than flying Virgin Australia. Thought someone would have flown the route and say what they earnt.
Australia Day 15 is not too far away, will see how it works out, in real life anyway.
All in the tables are in theory.

Just because the tables have different earns for business for economy doesn't mean they are wrong, in fact they are pretty much the bible.
