No, the key to it is for Virgin Australia to ensure that its web site works correctly and that, when a partner fails to capture the purchase data, there is a clean, fast, efficient means to get credit.
Have a look at ebates.com if you'd like an example of how to do it properly. e.g. Your site tells me my "favourite" store is ebay, so it obviously knows that's where I clicked through to. It could have remembered the dates and given unique transaction IDs to my visits and it could tell me those on the site, but it doesn't do anything useful like that.
