Easiest/Cheapest way to gain 80 Status Credits with Virgin

[FrothDaddy]

Hey All,

I've been accepted into Virgin's Discover Gold Program. I have to achieve 80 SCs across a minimum of 1 flight before 15th September. Any suggestions on what flight pattern might be the most economical/affordable to achieve 80 SCs?

Edit: I am based in Sydney, preferably a return flight from here

Many thanks in advance for all the suggestions!

I booked a one way Business fate from Sydney to Melbourne for July 20 for $370. Easy 55 status credits.

Family pooling?

Not an option for me

That $379 fare can be reduced to $358 by booking flights for after August 12th by using the VA B2B portal.

Sidenote, isn't that points only - not SCs?

Will I receive status credits on my personal account? Perhaps a silly question

There are no silly questions

Yes ..into your personal account. In fact that is the only place SCs will credit.
