Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

3 of my 5 received the bonus 10 points but received the correct 105 SC. I’m guessing because 2 were taken before the promo was opened to everyone. Not just business flyer.

Was one of your flights booked before 12 Jan?

I think the one on 20Jan was, but I can't remember the exact date as it was booked for work. I don't reccall the promotion having a "must be booked after X date" clause though.

Do the bonus SCs count towards FG, like they do for maintaining/earning status?

I didn't pay attention to my FG tally before these SCs landed.
 
Based on my reading of the T's and C's, bookings before 12 Jan are excluded (actions have to be conducted in the promotion period is my understanding)

I think you're right about flights booked before the 12th Jan, the T&Cs say it has to be both booked and flown during the period, but perhaps you'll get lucky.

I think the one on 20Jan was, but I can't remember the exact date as it was booked for work. I don't reccall the promotion having a "must be booked after X date" clause though.
Unfortunately I believe it needed to be booked on/after the start of the promotion to count. Which may be why it has counted in your case :(
