Sailor - you'll want to remove that link: it is specific to your subscription to special offers by email.

The messages are sent out in waves, I got mine a good few hours after 99 and Paul.
If you don't get any emails from VS, it is worth re-registering on the website.

They have that extremely annoying caveat in the T&C - FC Miles, bonus miles and tier points are available on selected booking classes only... please check at time of booking.
The last time they posted this in an offer, no one was able to find any of the mysterious flights that qualified.
Apart from that it looks like a cracking offer. Caribbean routes are valid through to 30 Nov 05 but several east coast cities have fares through to Feb 06.
If anyone finds any fares that do qualify for FC miles, can they share them with the rest of us, please? [8D]:D

If the fares as cheaper than or the same price as MpM just consider them as these that you haven't had to fork out 2000 miles of your own to get. Then it doesn't matter as much that they are none earning fares.
Talking of which, for years VS has creditted mine and my family FC accounts with miles and TP for MpM fares. Don't know why, never question it, never moan about it if it doesn't happen.
Maybe this could happen here as well.?
Anyone else had this experience?

Interestingly I finally recieved my email Yesterday (Monday) at 15:17 - telling me to refer to 'tomorrows and Mondays' Daily Mail.
If I was relying on VS to get the message to me it probably would have been too late.
