Sorry for newbie question but can't find answer despite combing Virgin/Velocity website and definitions.
Recently (April) travelled KUL-AUH-LHR Business (W) with Etihad but quoted Velocity FF number.
Currently Silver with Velocity.
Velocity website has Etihad Business (W) points earn rate per mile as 1.5 points, and Silver Velocity members earning a "points bonus on miles flown on top of the base points earned" of 25%. So when the points came through, my velocity statement showed
Kuala Lumpur - Abu Dhabi Base points: 5210 Bonus Points: 868
Abu Dhabi - Heathrow Base Points: 5114 Bonus Points: 852
The Base points look OK but the Bonus points look to be 25% of an earn rate of 1 point for mile.
I had assumed that the Business 1.5 points per mile was the "base" as per the Statement, and I'd get 25% of this as bonus but is this wrong?
Had found on previous experience the Velocity phone help line and emailing a very long winded and excruiating process, with lots of varying and completely opposite advice given by differing staff, so thought maybe someone knowledgable could enlighten me whether it's worth starting an enquiry with Velocity.
Thanks for your input.
