I recently flew AKL-ADL in Business on QR915 (cash fare), which was a really nice way to cross the Tasman and a massive upgrade on the Qantas 737-800 I usually fly from WLG.

The fare booked into I, which should earn as Business:

...but I didn't earn anything. Obviously Qantas are a bit hard to get hold of at the moment so it's hard to ask them. They declined my points claim.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it because it's trans-Tasman and competing with a Qantas service?
