Avoiding paying GST on Virgin domestic while still getting luggage

[here2go]

Through Skyscanner, I've found lots of agents that will book you a Saver Lite fare at dirt cheap rates that are effectively GST free. However, none I've found so far will book you a saver fare. Have I been looking in the wrong places? I am currently pooling status to Mrs Here2go, so I have nothing, but will soon get Gold from her. In the meantime, I've got to fly.

Have you actually tried this in practice and flown on the ticket? Because I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it didn't ticket properly and sabre said no when it comes time to check-in....

Yes. I've booked with Bravofly for Mrs Here2go a Saver light fare no problems, other than having to email her Velocity number to link to the booking.

A lot of those agents are not endorsed to issue tickets, while one may be issued the airline has a right to refuse carriage, see the recent airline warnings about edreams for instance:
