ThankYou Points and Virgin America Bookings - Do you get Elevate Points?
ThankYou Points and Virgin America Bookings - Do you get Elevate Points?
Booked 2 tickets using Thank You points as there is a 33% bonus in redemption rates. The ThankYou.com website says you will be eligible for FF miles, but as VX rates are based on price paid, rather than miles traveled, will I get any Elevate Points?
The system online has me enter my flight info and Elevate number, but it never stores. I can't tell if thats an issue with how the ticket is written, or if it's just VX's website from 1999.
Anyone have any experience on this matter?
PS- thanks VX for JFK to SFO r/t for $222 total after tax. Dunno how those fares got out.

Did you ever find out the answer to your question? I am in the same boat. Might have considered another airline - If I don't get any points. I have an upcoming flight - booked with Thank you points - its on May 21. I will try to report back on my experience.

Just flew yesterday- the points have yet to post.
Will try contacting either party at one point.
I'm aware there is a similar issue with jetBlue, as miles are based on purchase price not distance. I'll have to see.
