I made use of this deal last weekend and stacked with the double SC offer. A return BNE-PPP Business class day trip, got me 320 SC.

VA do allow for payment via payid. I've done it myself, but I can't find any details in their FAQs etc. So I suspect it's a very new thing.

I used that function over the weekend, the implementation was slick. The name that pops up in your banking app for the PayID includes your booking reference and the amount owed and the payment flow on the Virgin Australia booking website confirmed receipt of payment and advanced through the...
