VA rewards converting single to return - am I right?
Am I right in thinking that they should be able to convert a one way reward into a return? They are trying to book it as two singles and charge me extra tax. Is this one of those try again with another agent situations?

You will pay extra "TAX" - the tax is per segment ie the UK to USA often costs more in TAX (and charges - with make up most of the "TAX") than USA to UK
(each segment will be shown and charged separately) Edited at 02:00 PM. |

They're trying to charge me two singles tax, rather than return tax though. At the moment there are only economy returns available. For 2 adults, 2 children I've paid £621 in tax and fees so far for the outgoing and would expect around £877 total for a return. They're asking for another £444 for the two singles.
I just believe they should be able to convert it to a return rather than two singles. |

OP. My experience is it all depends who you get. Technically if they leave it as 2 singles then yes you pay the higher amount. Some agents will just fiddle with your outbound leg and process it as a return without any admin charge and thus you pay the lower amount.
Some wont though as technically they shouldn't. The work around and I assume it's 4 of you is you pay the £30 admin fee each and then they have no reason not to book you as a return trip. But they mustn't cancel the outbound flight first or the Miles seats disappear for at least 24 hours and get snapped up by somebody else!

Thanks both. After pushing her the agent has remembered it is possible to make it a return rather than 2 singles. Only one flight reference number now and £200 saved - glad I asked! Now to keep an eye out for UC rewards to upgrade to...

MF. I think some of the Agents make things up as they go along! But I will say in their defence 99.9% of them are superb.
The sad day for me was when they got rid of the old Combi fares where you could get a Miles flight one way and a dirt cheap cash return that was not classed at the sky high 1 way flight cost. I used them a lot.

This is really useful as I will hopefully be booking my return leg soon, so will try to push for this too.
