Tks for mentioning this. I took a VDB and the mileage just posted with an asterisk reading: "*This transaction earned a 50% bonus towards your year-to-date Elite Qualifying Miles and Segments."
Even though it showed Y class, it did not result in a Y fare bonus. Was I ripped off??
OK, just kidding. I'm actually fine with what I got....
