Those two statements sum me up.... (except lounge access via AA)
Goodness, no, it could not be a marketing stunt!!! I would be really really interested to know what snafu caused it!

I guess the retraction email will be following shortly.
Hi Velocity Membership Number:
We’ve got a treat for you - a free upgrade to Velocity Gold! Given you came so close to making it on your own, we wanted to say thanks so much for your ongoing commitment to the Virgin Blue Group, we really love having you around.
To find out what’s in store for you over the next 12 months, please keep reading.
Can i just ask, what if someone who received this upgrade to Gold (which i did), and between when they got the upgrade email to when they got the sorry retractable email they booked a flight with DJ or VA knowing that they have gold, etc..... tell you what i thought about booking a flight with them as soon as got the free gold upgrade, i wonder if anyone did and what would happen if they booked this just because they got the free gold upgrade?

Stranger things have happened :!:I doubt Velocity/Virgin Blue would offer anything more than that. They're hardly going to give away 2 million lounge passes, free flights or upgrade 2 million people to Gold...
I have sent a note to the moderators about merging the threads.A lot more discussion in this other thread:
When crazydave has a look at this thread (i'm tipping not this afternoon as he might be a little busy!), he'll note the number of people who are prepared to give DJ a go, but dont want to lose the (perceived or otherwise) benefits of their status / qp membership on qf.
Another round of status matching might get quite a number across.
