Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Forums Frequent flyer programs Virgin Flying Club Poor earning with partner airline (is this correct?)

  • 17 posts

    Hey everyone,

    I recently flew business class from Manchester to Buenos Aires with Air France, covering 12,000 km, and I earned 16,184 Virgin points and 140 Status points.

    Then, I flew from Ushuaia (USH) to Mimami (MIA) with Aerolíneas Argentinas in Business Class, which was 10,000 km, yet I only received 7,359 points and 70 Status points.

    This seems quite low to me, especially for business class, and particularly the Status points. Does this seem correct? Is there a calculator where I can check expected earnings?

    Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this or if I’m missing something here!

    Thanks!

    Should be 75 Tier points (assuming over 2,000 miles), and points equal to 150% of the miles flown
