15% discount reward bookings & 15% bonus on CC point transfers [now October 13]

[Velocity Frequent Flyer]

That’s right, due to popular demand, our Reward Seat sale is back!

Between 19 April and 30 June, you will be able to book Reward Seats on Virgin Australia at a 15% discount.* You can take advantage of this offer in any cabin class, on any flight marketed and operated by Virgin Australia. There are no travel date restrictions – the discount applies to any Reward Seats on flights that are open for booking during the duration of the promotion.

You may also have noticed that Velocity does not charge a fuel surcharge on Reward Seats. We think thats pretty rewarding coupled with great availability.

We wanted to give the AFF community an exclusive pre-release heads up so that you won’t miss out. Full details will be posted on virginaustralia.com/velocity when the sale commences, so make sure you check out our website soon.

Any thoughts on where those cashing in those points might be taking you to?

Re: Pre-release exclusive for AFF – Virgin Australia Reward Seats on sale

I could spend $35 or 4,500 points to save 5,100 points.

Not sure I can be bothered.

Re: Pre-release exclusive for AFF – Virgin Australia Reward Seats on sale

Thanks for the notice! Pity I'll be unable to book an SC run I wanted to do. The offer will bring it down to 11000ish points, and I have 10000!

We received a confirmation PM from VFF that the dates are 19 April to 30 June. So I have changed the subject in the OP and also ALL post subject headings, so there is no confuion. Also, see the linked T&C's which also give the correct dates

Does anyone have info on how long family points transfers take to credit? I can get the extra points I needed for this from my girlfriend.

Edit: Don't worry, they came through after about 5 minutes!
