Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

They only had a year to come up with the plan & implement it, clearly not enough time.
Cost of airfare divide by 12 or 24, hmm I think that's grade 2 or 3 math.

Well, it's not about the division, it is about how the rounding works

Interestingly enough, in their original press release, the Ts&Cs say rounding up.

It's inconsistent across different documents - was something I was digging into recently.

I did think that was the case. I found my original email and it says rounded up. If they've changed that without proper notice, it's a problem.

But it was rounding up from the very 1st presser..... 16.84 SC for flight A = 17SC awarded for flight A.

Sorry Grade 4 math, maybe.
Or better yet possibly use of a computer program could manage it, even a Commodore 64 from last century.

But it's not what the website says now. Perhaps they've changed it to reflect what actually happens
Either way, something has gone wrong with how they communicate or calculate rounding.

Rather than losing once-loyal flyers who didn't requalify for Velocity status under the new program rules, Virgin Australia is giving some people complimentary status extensions.

Will be interesting to see if I am 'offered' this - I have far more than the required SC to retain WP but a lot of that is non-VA (mainly SQ J) but I will tick over the VA-required status credits the day before expiry in late Feb. Perhaps I will requalify early
