Virgin Australia has launched a double Status Credits offer, giving Velocity Frequent Flyer members a faster path to lifting or maintaining their tier on eligible flights flown over the coming weeks.
Take Off with Double Status Credits
Here’s double the reasons to book your next trip! Boost your Status with double Status Credits when you activate and book an eligible flight with Virgin Australia before 30 June 2026, and fly by 12 July 2026.
How to Earn Double Status Credits
- Activate the offer by 30 June 2026.
- Book an eligible flight — a flight operated by Virgin Australia, with a VA flight number, that normally earns Status Credits. Book by 30 June 2026 and include your Velocity Frequent Flyer number in your booking.
- Travel on the booking between 17 June and 12 July 2026.
A Bit of Background
Virgin Australia is the country’s second-largest carrier, flying a domestic network across the capital cities and regional centres, along with a growing list of short-haul international routes. Its loyalty program, Velocity Frequent Flyer, lets members earn and redeem points across flights, partner airlines, and a wide range of everyday partners.
Status Credits are separate from points — they’re what determine your Velocity membership tier (Silver, Gold, Platinum), which unlocks benefits like lounge access, priority services, and bonus point earning. Because they typically accrue more slowly than points, a double Status Credits window like this one is a genuinely useful chance to climb a tier, or hold the one you already have, without taking extra trips.
The Timeline at a Glance
- Activate by: 30 June 2026
- Book by: 30 June 2026 (with your Velocity number in the booking)
- Travel between: 17 June and 12 July 2026
It’s a tight window, so this one suits travellers who already have a trip in mind over the next few weeks rather than those planning further ahead. If that’s you, activating before you book is the key step — Status Credits won’t double retroactively if you skip activation.
Bottom Line
If you have eligible Virgin Australia travel coming up between 17 June and 12 July 2026, activating this offer and booking by 30 June is a simple way to double your Status Credit earn. Full terms and eligibility apply, so check the Velocity Frequent Flyer website for the complete details before you book.
