Should I have been credited with these Avios & Tier points
Hi,
I booked a return flight to IBZ out of LHR late last summer using Ebookers...
Flew on Iberia down to BCN and then picked up a Vueling for the hop to IBZ. Subsequently returned direct to LHR on BA.
Quoted my BAEC on the ebookers website and got credited with Avios and Tier points for all flights except the Vueling.
OK, the flight was on Vueling metal but the flight number was an Iberia code...
Tried to recover these Avios & Tier points using the claim mechanism on the BA website = rejected. Rang up and was told again that Vueling were not eligible.
Left it there, but who was right...??
