    SCs to be earned on Velocity Reward bookings (6mo promotion) [AusBT]

    I see Qantas is making a big push for it's FF program with TV ads and a big display at Fed Square (I assume others about the country too) and even banner ads in this thread! :P I wonder what the next promo from VA is gonna be... will we hear it first here? :)

    Made Platinum!

    Well I just got made Platinum with 980 SCs! I'd actually intentionally left myself short 20 SCs so I could pull the trigger just before a large bout of domestics and internationals in August but c'est la vie! :P It's actually good timing in another way as my gold baggage tag was ripped off on a...

    Slow (/Non)Posting of VA Points / SC's since the SABRE switchover

    It's been almost 2 months now since we submitted the photos of the boarding passes and luggage receipts and still no SCs credited. :/ The thing that's really frustrating is that the manifest and all the documentation from the flight, that Velocity surely should have access to is going to show...

    Virgin lost their minds?

    I'm guessing you've racked up quite a few velocity points over the last 2 years, maybe it's time to cash those in until the situation clarifies? You'll get SCs on the flights you make bfore June 30th too so you can still work towards Platinum.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Working my way through a bit of a backlog, life and work happens sometime... I've given up on trying to reply to all PMs as there's just too many and there are restrictions on the frequency of PMs sent which make it too hard to fit into the short windows I have to do the approvals...

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    Was told 5-6 weeks after sending the scanned boarding passes. Not sure we even have all the boarding passes :/ The annoying thing is that SURELY there is a record of who traveled on what flights, it would be insane to NOT have those records (security, book keeping etc etc) so why in hell would...
