Hi,

I just want to confirm if anyone knows.

My parents want to book flights which come to $1600. With Virgin it says Earn 5 points for every $1 spent.

So if I do this through my velocity account will I get the points for the dollar value and then they get the points for the travel.

Not doing family pooling.

Cheers
 
Points are credited to the person flying. The 5 points per dollar is for domestic flights and that's what the person flying earns.
 
Also it's only points per dollar on domestic flying and I'm pretty sure it doesn't include the taxes etc, so only points on the actual base fare.

For international flights its points per mile

You earn points on the whole fare AND tax component for domestic
 
This is true.

I had a mixed class booking for last weekend credit; one way was saver, the other flexi with the flexi leg costing 3 times as much as the saver leg.

Points Credit was equal based on half the total cost of the ticket each way - i.e. The S segment credited for approx twice as much as it cost and the L leg two thirds as much - the total was correct.

SC earn was as for S and L class respectively.
