Virgin Aust Holidays Double Status Credit offer

[SeaWolf]

At this point I have no actual booking, but Hopper has charged my credit card the full amount ($816).

Is it a pending transaction? It may not settle and will clear after a few days. I've had that happen with failed online transactions from other vendors.

So, is the travel period from April-December 2026 or August 2026-June 2027? I assume the latter, but this is pretty amateur stuff Velocity!

The first travel period is from the March offer

Yes, it shows as pending currently (as all transactions do when they first appear on your statement).

Edit: their support team got back to me after an hour and said the charges had been voided. I then successfully made a new booking.

I'm keen to try but at the same time all I seem to hear from Virgin Australia Holidays is horror stories!

No horror stories from my end but mine was a straightforward trip with no multi segments. Successfully took one trip to Brisbane, and taking my second one to Melbourne this weekend. Of course, YMMV.
