Virgin Australia is tempting frequent flyers with a network-wide Velocity Status Credits offer. While it’s not the double Status Credits we’re used to seeing, this offer can make it easy to lock in elite status with Velocity Frequent Flyer – whether you’re reaching Gold for the first time or retaining Platinum for another year.

We booked flights in December 2023 for next week… so we will get the bonus SCs?
I could not find this in the terms..
Yeah BH, I did call the call centre, but the operator just seemed to read the T&C’s about the offer to me; they didn’t seem to be intimately across the ins and outs of the offer. They said that the offer should apply, but only based on reading the T&C’s that are available online about the offer.
So – I’ve booked – if I remember, will come back here to update to confirm I did get the double SC 🙂
Cheers.
Earn 60+ status credits and get bonus 100SC.
Any idea if this new offer will essentially give me
60SC+100SC as part of the previous offer as well as another 60+100 for this double SC offer? Or do you think it willonly be double SC on the original SC earnt of 60SC? so therefore
60SC+60SC+100SC
In circumstances where I activated the offer after booking but before travel, will I still get the double SCs?
Thanks
Wondering if booking flex for a date, and then changing it would still qualify for the double?
I booked a flight a couple of weeks ago, for end of February.
Cheers,
Mick.
As you observe many members have a reset date at end February (mine is in just 11 days).
As you also observe (extracting the published) terms, bonus status credits can take 4 weeks to post.
That means that those bonus credits could credit AFTER the review date of members.
IIRC there can be a grace period before status steps down…?
