Do reward flights not show up on MyFlights etc?

...because I've had no success locating it on the app using my PNR and name... Also tried checkmyflight with no more success. These were booked months ago so can't see it being a timing issue.
Any ideas? I can of course MMB on the VS site, but would prefer to be tracking it for any changes a little more proactively...
Thanks

ISTBC, but I don't think you can use checkmytrip, myflights, tripcase etc with Virgin flights because they're all based on the Amadeus reservation system which Virgin don't use.

Oh that's annoying, I thought they were either Amadeus or Sabre. But then I forgot about their legendary IT capabilities...

i still use the old v1.7 'traveler' app from flightstats, it was free, this allows you to simply input flight+date (months in advance) and then it tracks it for you
unfortunately their new app only allows a few days in advance which is pretty useless, but if you've got an android device you may be able to find a copy of the old app somewhere (i found it on the amazon app store, but don't think it's there anymore)

The TripCase app is good.

I took a look at that earlier, it appears to let you track a flight but not your own specific booking, is that right?
So it would be good for general changes like flight times but not for telling you if someone was playing silly beggars with your own seat requests...?

The company I work for uses it in conjunction with CWT. Looking back over my flight history for the past year, for BA flights it gives my seat numbers and flight details (lateness, terminals...) but for EK, CityJet and Turkish gives only the flight details.
