Virgin added new destinations to bookings

FWIW, I've just returned from Capetown last week. I flew on SQ and booked through Singapore airlines on SQ flight numbers.

I earned both status credits and points based on the Singapore airlines earn rate on the Virgin Australia website..... I didn't however earn the "bonus" points for being a platinum member.

I do agree that it needs clarification though as the sin- Mel flights were code share as they had alternate VA flight numbers ( flown on SQ metal)

Was the booking through the SQ web site or though a travel agent?

Interestingly booking to HK ex-SYD or MEL routes you with SQ via SIN and not Virgin Atlantic ex-SYD.

Ok, this whole thread is confusing me. I'm not sure what needs to be clarified. You were on the SQ flight not the codeshare flight. Having a codeshare available does not mean you earn accordingly if you haven't actually booked the codeshare flight number.

Travel agent booked it all for me. Just Added the velocity number.

As it wasn't booked as codeshare I don't get bonus points but I did get the sc and standard points...

So if I now book the same flight to cape town, through the VA website BUT I fly on SQ metal - do I get the sc's and points as per the Virgin long haul earn with bonus points or it at the SQ rate?
