I couldn't see if this has already been posted elsewhere but when I am looking at booking return international flights through my personal FF account if I select travelling for business the points earn estimate is almost halved, compared to if I select not travelling for business. Same dates, same flights, logged in to my FF account.

See below when selecting travelling for business, points earned is 5,750:

The same flights but not travelling for business, points earned is 10,950:

Anyone else experienced this if booked flying for business through your personal FF account, did you get the correct points when the flights were completed?

Looks like a gremlin or two in the IT.

The QBR option looks like it’s displaying points for Discount whY. If you go into the QBR portal and try booking the same flights, it should show the booking fare class and you can cross check that against the earning table,

Also, if the non-QBR option is booking into Flex whY for both sectors, it should actually be 14k pts? (10,400 + 4,500)?
