Is it possible to earn points on an alliance frequent flyer program whilst buying a points+pay ticket?
For example, buy a points+pay ticket through Qantas but earn points on American Airlines?
Or better still, earn points and status credits on Qantas on a points+pay ticket purchased through a oneworld partner?
I was wondering the same thing specifically with Virgin and KrisFlyer though.\r\n\r\ndoes anyone know if I booked an award flight with Virgin could I earn KrisFlyer miles ?? or vice versa ??
Not a great answer, but personally I haven’t had the joy of this happening.
Two related personal experiences to share:
Firstly, a couple of Malaysia Airlines Enrich redemptions have credited to Qantas Frequent Flyer, despite them being redemptions. Now the value in Enrich has been gutted, I can’t see this happening again - and it wasn’t reliable in the first place either.
Secondly, paid upgrades on British Airways earn as Business status credits instead of Economy, despite the upgrade being cheap.
