Status Match?what’s the SM in VVSM ?
I tend to check that the offer had been activated in the Velocity App ( after activating via email link)and then take a screenshot, as evidence if the bonus SCs fail to be posted to my account.'s a worry that every time I go into my Velocity profile there's a button to "activate offer" as though it hasn't been activated yet. I 'activated' it a second time when I made my second booking to be sure, to be sure.

How do we know this? I thought this would count as a partner flight even when having a VA number. Just want to be sure before booking.Worth noting that services operated by Alliance and Link Airways on VA flight numbers do still count.

Yeah, I noticed that again AFTER making my booking….It's a worry that every time I go into my Velocity profile there's a button to "activate offer" as though it hasn't been activated yet. I 'activated' it a second time when I made my second booking to be sure, to be sure.
Virgin Voyages do a Status Match to other cruise loyalty programs, but VA SG / WP are in the list. I’m now just hoping all the SCs post well before my cruise in August.what’s the SM in VVSM ?
Hmmmm. Hmmmm. I'm getting more and more into cruising and find it hard to pass up a status match. I’m not sure that Virgin cruises on my thing but I might get the status and see what happens then.Virgin Voyages do a Status Match to other cruise loyalty programs, but VA SG / WP are in the list.

OT, but the catch with VV is you have to have an existing booking to do the SM but once approved, $100 bar tab, some comp laundry, premium wifi, daily specialty coffee amongst other things.Hmmmm.

I might also of course be able to leverage the VV status to another cruise line.
Thanks!
Yes, unlike QF (and most FF programs) VFF has a rolling 12 mth window to UPGRADE status. If you can fly the elegible sectors and earn the necessary SCs, you’ll be upgraded immediately and your anniversary date is resetI seem to have confused this program with QFF. To confirm, even if I didn't qualify to retain my current status if my review date is end of June, my status credits earned through the 3x promo would still be there after review date and I drop to gold and valid for 12 months since earning them? Honestly don't see the point in taking more than my planned trip to Melbourne next week but anticipate a fair few domestic and international flights later in the year with VA and SG which would probably earn the credits for platinum again.
Your review date will reset when you reach Platinum... When is your Gold valid until originally?Well, I couldn't resist. Locked in CBR-MEL-ADL return. The 660 SC for $877 @ $1.32/ SC was too tempting. Hello VA Platinum!! I guess that now means I have officially jumped ship, back to VA for the foreseeable future. Now to work out positioning details to / from SYD
That was the bit that put me off. Trying to avoid morning flights in/out of CBR with fog and ice risk in July was too difficult to make it work…Now to work out positioning details to / from SYD
WP still requires 8 sectors beyond the SCs (unlike QF only requires 4 but more SCs).Your review date will reset when you reach Platinum... When is your Gold valid until originally?
MEL-BNE?Booked one way on VA and booked the other way on Qantas, surprisingly the Qantas business flight on the A220 (new aircraft type) was cheaper.
Impeccable timingJune 30 2024. Flights booked for July
