[kyle]

Has anyone been able to activate the offer?

I keep getting an error message on the page where I'm supposed to enter my Velocity number.

 

[serfty]

I'm getting the same thing - I even tried logging on first. I'll try later.

I can see the 1M seat sale, it's on the home page:




The 3xpoints is on the fare display at the bottom:

Where do Virgin source their techies?

9.30am try to activate their front page splash promo offer, and get told to p!ss off and come back some other time, as per serfty message.

VIRGIN AUSTRALIA TRIPLE POINTS OFFER | Velocity Frequent Flyer

The irony of a Virgin Promo ending on April Fools Days was lost on them I feel sure.

That aside NOTHING I could see was even vaguely resembling a sale fare. "15%-33% off" seems to be bordering on fraud I'd suggest.

SYD-ADL and SYD-HBA for $129 - they are kidding.

The fare I looked at, was $189, sale price $169... That's like 10% only.

Often the discount is off the fare component only, not the +++.

 

[ozstamps]

Can anyone instance even one fare here that is allegedly ''33% off''?

It says nor available with any other offer. Does that mean that entering in a promo code would invalidate the triple points offer?

With previous triple points offer, using a coupon code still got my bookings triple points

 

[Saab34]

So if you book PER-MEL-BNE-LAX in PE do the domestic legs earn at 1.25points per mile also?

 

[BudgetFly]

Mine activated OK. Of course you need to activate partners and children separately.

 

[Harthagan]

Ive booked 2 return PE fares SYD to LAX for just under 2500 each. If my maths is correct and i get the triple points it will be roughly 112,500 points for me and 85,000 for my partner. That is quite an amazing rebate!

 

[Saab34]

Im playing with it but I think if you are a Plat you can get 150k points going PE PER-MEL-BNE-LAX for $2600 ish

I don't know about that?

Bonus Points will be applied to the base Points only. Any applicable tier bonus earned will not attract Bonus points as a result of this offer.

Basically for WP it would be 4x base points credited, that's including the 100% bonus.

(Base miles x3) + (WP bonus (Base miles x1)) = Total
