This was not though the VA business portal but my works corporate travel portal (done by flight centre). I wonder if there are two possible things that could have gone wrong here:@henrus when I called VA Bus I was told any bookings made thru VA Business portal are not eligible for 3* SC promotion as corporate travel doesn't qualify - I would love to see if you get 3* SC - please update
They will honour ORCSh$t, damn, f@rk. VA have unilaterally changed my SYD-MEL-OOL (ret) to SYD-OOL (return)!
Other than “Accept” those changes they don’t give the option to chose alternatives. Have to call. What a PITA.
Just another PITA from a timing perspective.They will honour ORC

D'oh, should have looked at this more carefully. I didn't look into the re-qualification numbers after re-attaining WP.Same day posting of the 3xSC for me as well. Got my WP back instantly. Did the sums and ended up booking another BNE-MEL-BNE J trip in July that will see me requalify and retain WP until June 2026.
Flying more and more with VA over QF (funnily enough, soft landing from P1 to WP with QF same day I got VA WP back) so this promo has really worked well for me.
Total 420 status credits?I booked Melb - Brisbane - Darwin and return and then Melb - Cairns Return
Both work trips and a real bonus for my attempt to get back to Gold
YepTotal 420 status credits?
There should be no issues as the new flight will still be on an eligible dateQuestion - anyone know if making same day changes with same PNR is ok? My original flight also had an email came through re having faulty entertainment if that’s anything.

My latest corporate travel bookings did automatically get the 3x bonus SCs with no issue. For the previous flight I mentioned earlier, I was able to contact Virgin and get it fixed as it was indeed eligible.@henrus when I called VA Bus I was told any bookings made thru VA Business portal are not eligible for 3* SC promotion as corporate travel doesn't qualify - I would love to see if you get 3* SC - please update
