Elevate Ticket price is higher on Amex Travel Site

[knagelli]

I am trying to book a VA flight from MEL to SYD for 26th Nov and the fare class selected was Elevate. When I check the price on VA site , it is available $219 , however when I check the same ticket/fare class on Amex travel website it is available for $289.

Has anyone else experienced this earlier with VA tickets and how do I go about booking this ticket on Amex site at the same cost as VA advertised normal price ( not on sale ).

Its pretty common for the AmEx site to be more expensive than alternatives. I don't know of a work around, you could try contacting AmEx perhaps, but for that price difference I'd book with Virgin and look to utilise the AmEx credit elsewhere.
