Re: Double Status Credits offer
Gahhhhh. I don't know if it's a good or very sad thing that we both received the email and posted on AFF within seconds. Some would call it an addiction.
I said to myself I'm going to sit down and book my SYD-LAX return in December in J. Since the Double SC promo ends in November, I may have to seriously consider moving that trip.
You should have got my one then - it says for travel until the 31st of December. I was briefly excited and thought I should try and work an extra trip in or two before I remembered there was no life time status credit benefit and since I am planning on taking the parachute down to Gold anyway I may as well ignore it.
"As a new Platinum member, we hope to see you soon experiencing your new Platinum benefits.
To get you started, we are pleased to offer you double Status Credits* on all flights you book with the
Virgin Australia group of airlines^ between 14 and 30 October 2011 for travel between 15 October and 31 December 2011."
Disconcerting, in the fine print it actually says:
"*Double Status Credits are able to be earned on all
Virgin Australia group of airline flights booked between 14 and 24 October 2011 provided flight is taken between 15 October and 18 November 2011. Flight must be taken in order for Status Credits to be awarded. Status Credits will be awarded within 4 weeks of flight being taken. Offer is only available to those selected by
Virgin Australia and is non-transferable. "
I guess they didn't adjust the fine print for the more generous offer.... or else made a mistake with the regular print on my offer. I was going to book one or two flights I had been thinking about for December, but I might take my time and think about it and see what others have show up on the forum.
