Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

[History]

I've retained silver until December 2nd, 2027.

But was flying via SIN - 20 or so hours vs 14 hours in QF nonstop - plus extra costs with VA codeshares etc, worth the $450 annual lounge pass for VA lounges?

That’s the thing I reckon with chasing VA status… the benefits are so limited it’s hardly worth it?

Better off using Amex Velocity Platinum - velocity lounge access is complimentary. There are so many on the Priority Line these days, who cares.

I never really understood the value of reducing the status collections in one hand then on the other get the Plat card for a few hundred dollars , gain points and get lounge access. Sometimes I do wonder who makes it all up...and what they get paid! And worse ...who signs it all of.
