Earn an additional point per $1 on VA flights with an eligible credit card

[AFF Editor]

The latest changes to the Velocity Frequent Flyer program took effect yesterday. Now, instead of earning 5 Velocity points per $1 spent on Virgin Australia flights, you'll earn 4 per $1 - unless you've earned at least one point on an eligible Velocity co-brand credit card in the past 12 months.

This article explains the changes and which credit cards are eligible to earn the additional base point per dollar on Virgin flights:

Earn 25% More Velocity Points on Virgin Australia Flights with These Cards

From 2 April 2025, you can earn 25% more Velocity Frequent Flyer points on Virgin Australia flights if you've earned at least one point with one of these credit cards in the past year.

Referring to original article (reference 9 points per dollar with credit card) my reading is that Platinum members with Velocity earning credit card earn 4 base points + 1 additional base point for credit card and 100% bonus on the total of 5 BASE points = 10 points per dollar spent
