Double and Triple Velocity Status Credit October 2025 - Targeted

[odysseus]

And yet people keep trying to justify the changes in part saying "there are too many Velocity members".

Yet Virgin keep pumping numbers up with promos like this, so that wasn't the reason.

It still makes sense.

The old approach (easier elite qualification) doesn't give VA much control over its number of elites — a whole bunch of people work out how to game the system and suddenly you find yourself with way more elites than you expected.

The new approach (harder qualification with targeted triple status credits) gives VA precise control over its number of elites. They can choose which members to target, how much to target them, get precise data on which offers work on which people, etc.
