SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

[Steven of Mysore]

Hi,

After spending 30 mins being rolled through five members of VAs 'Help Centre, I am none the wiser...

My partner and I are going to India (Oct/Nov) for my 60th and SIA have some rather well priced Economy fares at the moment $1,000 return. Econ+ are also keen. Nothing shows up on the VA platform (all year unavailable) which makes no sense but the VA res. people couldn't find it either and advised me to contact SIA directly. Happy to do that but to earn Points and Credits, is it just a case of entering my Velocity number? I realise the actual number will depend on fare classification.

Thanks for any help.

Lovely thank you. I think I also found the appropriate place on the website with the information but not the ability to book.

You should book directly with Singapore Airlines or wherever you found those fares. simply add your Velocity membership number to the Singapore airlines booking and you’ll earn Points and Status Credit just fine.

Even though Virgin Australia is a partner of Singapore Airlines not all Singapore Airlines flights will be available via Virgin Australia as a codeshare. Even when they are available for booking via Virgin Australia they might be more expensive than booking directly with Singapore Airlines.

I do find that SQ credit to VA very quickly in comparison to other partners too. Often within 24-48hrs of flight

Seeing as you're Virgin Gold (according to your profile)...what you miss out on by booking directly with SQ is 75% points bonus on miles flown...you would only get these flying SQ on VA flight numbers. But as others have said, if the codeshare is not available...its not available...there's no way to make that happen.

That's interesting. Thanks but I guess some is better than none. Platinum after the 'bonus' promotion ending today .

Congrats! So make that missing out 100% bonus points then.

It is so odd how often you cannot buy SQ with a VA code. Don’t they like money?

Yes! It's a pain and hopefully SIA will be able to guide me to VA flights
