Miles plus Money fares DO earn miles and tier points?!?

I am going to assume this is a bug in the system but our friends have just returned from a trip to Dubai in Upper; one flew out Z, the other on a M+M fare.
They hadn't tagged their Flying Club numbers so they did missing miles and by mistake did it for both.
Miles and tier points were credited for the M+M flight.
Have Virgin changed their policy or is this just a bug?

We did M&M in September to LV and was told we would not get tier points but low and behold we got both miles and tier points on return ?| Rang them to point it out (very honest person) and was told 'don't worry about it, just accept' so we did

T&C's are still pretty clear
"g) No Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles and tier points will be earned on Miles Plus Money fares."
I've always assumed that the M&M programme was one way VS attempted to reduce the commitment implied by the mileage scheme; it would seem a bit odd to have the programme finish up increasing that commitment.

It has been reported numerous times now where people have received miles on an MPM booking, but at pointed out by Paul, the T&C's clearly state you don't.

Why oh why would you want to ring VS up and let them know about something that benefits you?! ): Every time I've flown I've done the missing miles trick and it's always worked... Miles + Tier Points.

I've just managed this; did a M&M UC flight to JFK and have claimed both the miles and Tier points, but for the outbound journey only. It doesn't want to accept the inbound journey, but I cant complain for the freebies

How did you find the M&M UC flight?

As in how was the flight itself, or how did I get a M&M UC flight?

I just tried this on a M+M flight I took back in July. The outbound leg was outside the six month limit so didn't qualify. The return leg is just inside the six month limit, but the FC website says "we are unable to process my request." So I'm guessing that calling FC would make no difference.

Unlikely, as stated above, M+M tickets do not qualify to earn miles or TP's, it just seems for some reasons the automatic system isn't processing them correctly and some people are being lucky. Calling FC will just result in the looking at your booking, seeing it was an M+M fare and telling you that you aren't supposed to earn them.
