Virgin
Platinum
So yesterday I was killing time and I randomly decided to look at flights from ADL to HBA to see if there were direct flights. It was all out of curiosity as I live in MEL and I’d never fly this route.

This morning I received an email from virgin:

Still searching for flights from Adelaide to Hobart?

We want to offer you twice the reason to continue your booking with Virgin Australia. You can earn double Velocity Points when you book an eligible Virgin Australia flight by Thursday, 31 October 2024. That’s 10 Points per $1 spent on eligible flights.

Plus, as a Platinum member you'll receive an additional 5 bonus Points per $1 spent in addition to the double Points earned (excluding Economy Lite fares).**

Wondering if anyone else has started to get these emails as this is the first time I’ve received a targeted/personalised offer like this.

Must be the end of the season push. But thanks, I am in TAS!

Shame the offer is for points and not status credits (counted as VA earn). Sure a lot of us would prefer an influx of SC's until 1st October 2025 🧐
 
I've had targeted emails before when I've searched for flights while logged in. Though offering bonus points is certainly new, I haven't seen that before.
 
I find that if I make a flight search in the app and then don't proceed I'll get the reminder email, but haven't had a bonus offered before, so it must be a new targeting strategy the Work Experience kids have come up with.
