Need 145 SC by August

How do I achieve this in the cheapest way, time doesn't matter??

The obvious answer is "Book some flights"

We really need a bit more info before we can offer anything constructive, such as point of origin, how many points your willing to burn, other offers you have available (two41, CC free flights, etc.) time frames, etc.

If you have a lot of points and you're really, really lucky you might be able to take advantage of the last days of the Reward Seat SC promo but otherwise you're probably stuck with plain old BiS SC earn in which case you probably want to start by looking up your preferred port on the Best Fares page - http://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/specials-offers/flight-specials/view-best-fares/

Thanks guys - good to be on this site.

I have 32,000 points.
I have only been a member since August 2012, but just got promoted at work and now will be travelling all around Australia.
In the last 2 weeks I managed to get to Silver status.

I really want Gold before August.
That's when my very old point expire and in September is my next travels.

Until then if I want more SC I Have to get them on my own.
Basically I will probably get to Gold eventually later in the year but I would really like to get it before I travel next to take advantage of its benefits.

Appreciate the help!

check for round trip J reward seat availability for MEL-PER-MEL flights for today 30th June, if there is then book a round trip flexi ticket, then upgrade straightaway using points. one way points should cost 10800 to upgrade. you will get 160 status credits be sure to book a same day turnaround, i.e. depart MEL at say 6:00am and back to MEL from PER at 1:30pm.
