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

I don't think you're the only one....but did you get the 10 bonus points per flight during the promo period itself?
Was that part of the business flyer promo? I didn’t book as part of that. I just had a bunch of flights pre-booked during the promo period that applied because they made it retrospective
 
Does cancelling a platinum upgrade return the seat to the rewards inventory? Have a few flex trip that I can rebook but don’t want to rock the boat if that loses me the upgrade.

I think there's a lot of confusion about the retrospective part of this promotion.

Your flights were booked on or after 12 January...correct?

Oh cough. They had to be booked after Jan 12? I just thought it was any flights taken during that period counted? I booked them in October last year…

Yes, they had to be booked and flown 12 Jan - 31 Mar.

The retrospective part was what was the business flyer promo became open to everyone at some point in February and included bookings from 12 Jan onwards.
