Tier points for US internal flights on VS codeshare

I'm really surprised I've never had this situation before, as I take a lot of connecting flights on Delta metal having flown VS metal TATL, but guess these must all have been DL tickets previously. So, in a few weeks I'm flying the following :

1. LHR-ATL VS103, PE S ticket
2. ATL-MEX VS4957, PE S ticket
3. MEX-ATL VS4968, PE S ticket
4. ATL-EWR DL1920, PE W ticket
5. JFK-LHR VS138, PE S ticket


Segments 1, 4 & 5 I'm pretty clear on - 100, 10, 100 tier points respectively, since segment 4 will be Delta Comfort on a DL ticket.

But how do segments 2 & 3 work? They will I guess be Delta Premium Select, but they are listed as VS S class tickets, which would be 100TPs - which I really can't believe. I see nothing anywhere on tier points for VS codeshare. I'm assuming they are more likely to equate to Delta P or A (US non-domestic), so 20TPs

Anyone know / got experience of this?

Thanks, Neil

Sectors 2 and 3 will get you the Comfort+ earning rate - unless things have drastically changed they use domestically configured aircraft for that route. If/when you view your Delta segments on DL.com you are given a Comfort+ seat to choose for ATL-MEX-ATL So 10TPs each for those.

At the moment I don't believe DL have Premium Select on any sub-3000 mile route currently.

You'll get 10TPs for each of those. I was on same fare code S and W a few weeks ago connecting on and from VS flights as well.

Thanks for the comments.

This is pretty much what I would have expected tbh, but was a bit surprised by the ticket codes.

HI guys I didn't want to start a new thread and this was the closest.

I have booked a return SFO-SEA in First Class, booked on Delta.com, entirely on Delta Metal. Now the fare I thought was little bit expensive but not extraordinary so.

On looking its booked me in to an I class fare but states "First Class".

Now, my question is according to this https://www.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/fl ... lines.html for an I class DL ticket under 3000 miles I should get 40TP per sector, which goes against conventional logic that each DL sector in internal first class earns 20, but its there in Black and White!

Hmmm! Interesting as I didn't think DL used I fares for domestic first class, only Delta One. Will be interested to see what that earns you Col, but 40 TPs sounds pretty clear cut according to that chart!

Don't be surprised if the tier points you get differ from what the chart says. For my last two Delta RT flights I was given more than what the chart states. I even got 75 tier points for each segment of a "P" fare ticket a few months ago. Not sure how or why but it makes keeping Gold a lot easier.
