Miles Booster on NH award flights?
I hold a VS award flying on NH with NH flights in November.

Today, while reviewing my booking on the VS website, I noticed an offer to buy Miles Booster for the trip.

I read through the fine print and read that Miles Booster is only for VS flights.

I wonder why I was offered to buy Miles Booster on NH award flights ticketed on VS stock.

Can I actually successfully buy Miles Booster on VS ticketed NH award flights?

Might VS take my payment and then refuse the miles after flying on the NH award flights?

I had this offer on NH award flights booked via VS in the spring, and purchased Miles Booster for a flight next January. I guess I'll wait to see if I get them

Received Miles Booster miles for my award flight on NH booked via VAFC. Showed up in account a couple days after the first flight.

I was also offered Miles Booster for my 9W award flight that was booked with FC.

If you want Mileage Booster on VS ticketed NH award flights buy before the flight - after the flight need to call VAFC and they will not sell since not VS metal.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I recently booked an NH award with VS and the option is showing. Can anyone confirm that this still works?

Edit: if click the link I only get the option to pay in USD, though. Is there any way to force it to charge you in GBP?
