TPs you could probably argue you should get some - because Avios is a form of currency with which you have paid for your flights - but you don't.
Good logic id be grateful if the rules on this change before October

Well if you dont ask you dont get !

have a look in MMB and it should say 0 tps and 0 avios to be earned, but dont be surprised if it shows you will earn both, however you wont earn any, its a known glitch sometimes in MMB
