Double and Triple Velocity Status Credit October 2025 - Targeted

[odysseus]

And yet people keep trying to justify the changes in part saying "there are too many Velocity members".

Yet Virgin keep pumping numbers up with promos like this, so that wasn't the reason.

It still makes sense.

The old approach (easier elite qualification) doesn't give VA much control over its number of elites — a whole bunch of people work out how to game the system and suddenly you find yourself with way more elites than you expected.

The new approach (harder qualification with targeted triple status credits) gives VA precise control over its number of elites. They can choose which members to target, how much to target them, get precise data on which offers work on which people, etc.

Exactly, this and the previous status offer were extremely limited to a very small group, so they are controlling the numbers in the lounge now more than ever.
Before this year, the DSC/TSC offers were mostly available to everyone.
It will be interesting to see if they ever do DSC/TSC offer to all, ever again (I personally hope so).

Since yesterday, I know of ~20 Velocity members I've now spoken with and not one of them has received this offer, and they are of various status levels.

Looking at the activate web page source, it has this code:

{"title":"The maximum number of activations for this offer has been reached","value":"Promotion Cap Reached","ctaType":"primary","newTab":false}

Maybe they had a limited number of these offers available, and the maximum number were reached very quickly?
