Im sure as long as its issued on a 176 ticket stock, the bonus miles and tier credits would come through as per normal?

Have a few sectors in the coming days and have also subscribed to Skywards+ so will reply on my posting timelines too when it posts!

Looking into taking out a Skywards + subscription, couple of questions:


1. Does the 20% discount get tied to the person whose miles are being used or to the traveller?
For example I have a Skywards + membership, I am booking for my wife and daughter using miles from my account, or does she need to have the subscription even though miles going from my account?
2. If you have a family account, and redeeming for upgrades any specific rules?
3. The Unlimited upgrade 20% discount, does that apply to everyone you use miles for from your account or tied to PNR with subscriber?

The miles must come from the subscriber's account. They can be used to upgrade any pax. Note that 20% discount on Classic Rewards is available only once during the subscription period so if you are looking to upgrade family members, you should ensure miles and reward availability, and use the miles to purchase the reward for all pax in one go.

This is not my experience I once took miles from the family account and still got the 20% discount

Also looking into subscription especially for the 20% discount on Classic Awards. Would a 4 segment multi-city booking qualify for the one time 20% discount? EK.com is pricing a SYD-DXB-ORD-DXB-JNB itinerary at 441,250 miles. With the $399 subscription, the 20% would bring that down to 353,000 miles which would be a pretty sweet deal.

I understand that if I cancel the booking, I lose the one time 20% discount. But, wondering if can I change the booking and still preserve the discount? Or do any date changes kill the discount?

Does not apply to multi city/open jaw and cannot change.

That sucks, an open jaw should have been supported as long it is a classic reward.

Thanks A4K.
