Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

I asked them if they can extend my membership (renews end of April), because I was re-routed from my original flights on the way back recently, I didn't get the SCs for it. They said they can't do it now or so far from the date and encouraged me to keep flying to try and earn the renewal (fat chance), I will try again after the renewal date to see what happens.

Can you request ORC - assuming it was an involuntary rerouting?

Agree - telling you to keep flying when you should have already earned enough status credits is a bit ridiculous, when what they really should do is just process an original routing credit.

Can you explain what that is, and how to request it, please?

Original Routing Credit. If you were supposed to get 50 SC for example and your re-routing only got you 35, you ask for the Original Routing Credit of 50 SC
