Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

[LionKing]

So looks like the new Velocity Frequent Flyer status rules have backfired, and they even need to backtrack everyone's summer travel for extra status credits.
Therefore, book 6 one way flights and you will earn 125 bonus status credits.
It seems to me that Virgin's domestic focus, not their membership structure/rules is their weakest link. Perhaps Bain Capital should be selling Virgin Australia quickly and replaced with Tamasek or CIC as the major shareholder to give VA a good boost.

Two flights just before 12th Jan and two flights early Jan.
A reward flight 14th and one flight 22nd Jan.
Nothing booked nor will be by 31st March.

Isn't that basically the business flyer offer being extended to everyone?

The start date is the same. The restrospective component was not advertised before. Maybe some issues with registering in January.

It's not 100% clear (at least from my read of the T&Cs) that bookings before 12 Jan are excluded but I assume they are.

Regardless it's not appealing enough to change my travel plans. Unless they offer triple credits I'm seeing more value in QFF.

Based on my reading of the T's and C's, bookings before 12 Jan are excluded (actions have to be conducted in the promotion period is my understanding)

Also a lot of status anniversary dates are 28th Feb

Return of the VA Status run. Extremely tempting to get back to platinum….
