Points and SC for flights not flown

[Blackswan]

I was under the impression that points and SC are given only for segments actually flown? Recently I failed to show for two segments (being the entire booking), but the points and SC still posted. I'm certainly not complaining, given it was a .br booking.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'd keep it hush hush...

Yes but not talking publicly about it.

Way to Go !!!!

How an earth does this happen? I'm still waiting for my points & SC's for Mel-Akl, flown last week.

Yep happened to me, I called up and was told "thanks for being honest and telling us, looks like you got lucky" and kept the points and credits.

Feels like someone or the system has clicked the select all button and confirmed travel.

Simpler, fairer flying indeed.

This is not a dig at the OP but at QF's back-end system.

Years ago I was planning a trip and originally was flying a few sectors in Europe and then to Asia on BA. The booking hadn't been ticketed or anything and I eventually cancelled it and did something else. Anyway, I checked MMB one day and here were about 4 fights that posted with points and SC from BA for flights that I never flew!! I was pretty impressed - and that year I needed every single SC to requal SG.
