Based on the wording it does:

Earning Status Credits with Virgin Australia marketed and or operated flights, flown by you.

As detailed above, both upgrading and maintaining Status requires a minimum number of Status Credits to be earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and or operated flights flown by you.

These flights include:

  • Partner Airline marketed flights that are operated by Virgin Australia


    These flights are sometimes referred to as "Partner Airline codeshare" and are any route that Virgin Australia operated, but have a Partner Airline flight number (e.g., SQ 6435 from Canberra to Brisbane is operated by Virgin Australia).
