Triple Bonus Points

[wendlle]

I was playing around with my Velocity App last night and saw this offer on it. I didn't get an email and can't see it on the website.
Triple Bonus Points, book and ticket an eligible flight between December 5 and December 17 2019, Travel by November 3 2020.
Enjoy triple bonus points on eligible virgin australia flights.

Glad to have seen this as I was planning on booking a flight in the next two weeks.

My offer on the app only says 50% bonus points for the same dates you list.

Yeah I only got 50%.

Yeah I only got 50%.

I got an offer 50%. If I had known I would have activated.

Also received triple points. So does that mean if I earn 500 points on a flight I receive 1500 for the triple plus 1000 for plat. making it 2500 all up.

In the past it has meant that u would get 500 x 3 plus 500 for 2000.

That's sounds right as I shouldn't have added the 500 to the plat bonus.

Me too. 50% seems quite miserable by comparison. I wonder why the difference? I have a lot of flights coming up - both domestic and international - so is it something to do with frequency of flying?

Good morning

There seems to be a triple points promo on now. Showing in Velocity app for me. Based on past promos offer may vary for others.

Is it for specific destinations or across all VA metal ?

All destinations I believe

“An Eligible Flight is a flight marketed and operated by Virgin Australia, between 12.01am AEDT 25 March 2019 and 11.59pm 5 January 2021 inclusive and booked and ticketed in a fare class that normally accrues Points.”

Does anyone know if you can use the 10% promo discount codes with this offer too?

 

[Harthagan]

Are you required to book directly thru velocity website?

 

[knagelli]

Are you required to book directly thru velocity website?

i don’t think that is required. Once you activate the offer , you can book your ticket anywhere not just Virgin Australia website.

Don't see why not. The offer applies to any fare that normally earns Velocity points.

Discount codes worked for the first booking i made under this promo. A shame that 90 seconds later I got a 30% discount offer via accelerate.
But still have more flights to book. $405 virgin business compared to $250 Qantas economy. hmm let me think...

I received the same accelerate offer, for the routes I regularly travel, J is approximately $30 cheaper each way than published flex Y. Not a hard decision.
