Opinion on the board suggested that this was a tricky if not impossible process, but it all happened smoothly for me. Make sure you keep the receipt you get on board, though.

As far as the OP is concerned, it seem unlikely that any miles or points are due. The base bit of the ticket is non miles earning, so I can't see what proportion of the mileage could be awarded. I stand to be corrected though.

Do tell us how much you paid. Would be interesting to know.
