status credits on partner airline's codeshare flight

[supa007]

Hi,

Just after some clarification re: awarding of status credits on partner airline's codeshare flights.

I've recently completed a trip to Europe on Etihad ticketed booking. My Etihad operated flights credited to my account fairly quickly, however, the Air Berlin operated flights never registered... And when I called Velocity to claim my missing points and SC, the agent said that codeshares are not eligible for points or SC... How true is that given Air Berlin is also a Velocity partner?

Was it a EY flight number? no earn at all

Velocity Points and Status Credits cannot be earned on:

• Codeshare flights (Any flight with an EY flight number that is operated by an airline other than Etihad or Virgin Australia).

If it was a AB flight number no status credits. You do earn points only if in a eligable class, however if a cheap fare normally a non earn class

[FONT=&amp]Earn Points with airberlin when you travel in an eligible fare class on flights with an AB flight number operated by airberlin or Virgin Australia.[/FONT]
You can also still earnStatus Creditson airberlin flights marketed by Virgin Australia (with a VA flight number) when travelling on eligible Virgin Australia fare types.
