Mine didn't - flew MAN-LHR-MAN on Sunday. Original fare was in G (which is eligible for Y SCs in QF) then I did one POUG (out) it put it into U - called BA and after ages on hold I was told it would post as Biz. So then I did a POUG on return leg... Anyway woke up this morning and it's posted as a reward redemption with 0 pts/ SCs... Have sent eticket and boarding pass to QFF but not liking my changes of getting anything other than Y SCs (despite being told otherwise). Have email emailed BAEC to see if they can give me something in writing to reflect the conversation I had with their agent!
Any other tips/ advice welcomed as am hanging to hit gold ASAP and this would do the trick!!
