Virgin Australia has launched a triple status credits offer that gives customers a fast track to higher tiers of status with the airline’s Velocity Frequent Flyer loyalty program.
To take advantage of this offer, you must activate it and then book an eligible flight with Virgin Australia by 29 May and fly by 31 July 2024.
An eligible flight is any Virgin Australia operated flight with a VA flight number that normally earns status credits.
You can book as many flights as you like, but make sure every person on the booking activates this offer and includes the Velocity membership number in the booking.
You need to earn 250 status credits to reach the silver tier (200 to renew it in subsequent years), 500 to hit gold (400 to renew) and 1,000 to reach platinum (800 to renew).
All the perks of status are explained here, but in short:
- silver status provides priority check in, additional baggage, two lounge passes each year and 50% bonus points on flights
- gold status provides priority check in, baggage and boarding, lounge access, guaranteed economy award seats and bonus points
- platinum status provides even more perks including complimentary upgrades.
If you’ve been chasing status with the airline, this is a great opportunity.
