You called? Too bad there isn't a middle finger emoji on Flyertalk.

Booked via Chase Portal for $281 and got a confirmation number that works on the Virgin site but can't make any changes with it (seat, FF#, etc.) and says I need to call. Doesn't even list the total paid.

We will see...

The original OTA that tried to issue it charged me $1070, so I had to call and make sure Virgin didn't ticket it (I know...I'm sorry)

But the lady made no reference to my actual fare paid and neither did I...I just asked it the $150 PNR had been ticketed and she said yes

If you are going to call, call the OTA, they own the ticket.

yes yes I understand the flyertalk mentality but it was a foreign website with no listed phone number...figured I’d better call virgin to make sure it didn’t go thru...sorry.

I balked at this, I wasn't gonna risk saving $12 in exchange for maybe being denied for not being a student or whatever. Do they ask you for anything? Ever used that OTA before?
