Two month trial of Platinum Plus

I also don't believe that there are 600000 Plat+ members...

Um... no. There's only a very small number of Platinum Plus members.

Thats' good to know; you sound like you have some more accurate numbers? Care to give us a rough number?

If the number is small, that would make the request for Beyond passes seem more attainable!

VA issues an annual ‘year in review’ snapshot to all its velocity members. There are some folk who only had flights numbering in the dozens and they were in the ‘top 1%’ of flyers. They might have qualified for platinum under the old rules, but would fall short under the new ones.

I’d be surprised if even 1% (120k members) were platinum plus?

I suspect perhaps if you had heard “six hundred to a thousand” instead of “six hundred thousand” then that might be closer to the mark

I also would welcome at least 4 x Beyond Invitations per year for Platinum Plus.

Interesting stat I came across this week; I called Virgin Customer Support on the 2nd of October, as my account had not been upgraded from Platinum yet. She advised that it would happen shortly as they "had 600,000 Platinum Plus members to upgrade"

- Based on released numbers from Virgin stating that they have 12million Velocity members, this is about 5% of all travellers.

- Is this the kind of number that others expected?

- It will be interesting to see in about 2 years how many P+ will be left once everyone is requalifying based on the minimum $18,000 spend alone (excluding DSC/TSC)

This is wrong. Total member base less than ~1K. For plat plus.
