accumulating points after the Adventura

[tonymite]

Hi peoples - Im new to all of this.. so I'll try and explain in 25 words or less

I bought a round the world ticket last year and travelled June-17-2009 until Jan-14-2010.

I bought the ticket cash and had a few european and north american flights whilst I was there - which were not part of the original deal.

Can I claim Frequent Flyer points once the trip is over??

Can I only claim credit card purchsed travels - or can I show receipts of cash purchases?

Are there other parts of a trip I can claim to earn points?


Tony.

Short answer.. depends on the frequent flyer program.

Are you already a member of a FF program? or will you be joining some program/s after the trip.

It is possible to back-date claim on some flights if you still have the boarding passes and details of the flights that you took. Call up the FF program and ask them. I know family who have joined Qantas FF and then claimed for flights they took three months prior and they got the points. For flights, it does not matter whether you paid by CC or cash. As long as the airline is a member of the FF program you are a part of and you have the details necessary, you can submit a claim.

As for the CC expenses, same question... have you already signed up a CC rewards program or are you planning to sign up after the trip. If after the trip, you will not be able to claim expenses already made. CC rewards are only accumulated from the day you become a member of the reward program.
