Unsure when it changed as I didn’t fly between the end of October and just prior to Christmas.
All my VA flights over the Christmas break posted to Velocity the next day.
 
One of my flights posted on the same day not long after I landed...
 
yeah it has been pretty much on landing on my last 4 flights, 2 of them were even double status (which posted straight away)
 
been pretty much posted within a few hours, seems since VA purchased back VFF
 
One of two same-day flights posted the day after, the other I'm still waiting for. Will follow it up once the two-week period is up.

Good to see VA change their back-end systems for faster posting despite it not being 100% from the get-go.
 
I was hoping to see this in action after my flight yesterday. Alas, almost 24 hours later and it still hasn't posted. Guess I'll just have to be patient...

In the same boat. One flight posted and one didn't (only been 3 days though). Frustrating, but still good to see VA improving.
 
Completed a return domestics journey a few days ago. Outbound posted 35 hours after flight - good improvement from the normal couple of days.

However the inbound is still MIA (4 days later).

Suggest change in title thread it’s a bit click baity...
 
Well, my flight posted this morning, so that's 4 days. Not seeing any improvement there. I've got a few more flights in two weeks, maybe they'll be more successful.
 
Still taking 2-4 days here, so little/no improvement. More flights next week.

This thread got my hopes up!!
 
I've noticed a slight pattern on posting.
If you have paid for the booking it posts quickly.
If you have used points, such as upgrading using points there is still a bit of a lag.

My flight on Christmas Day did not post but the one on New Year's Day posted.
Tried submitting a claim today but got this error:

What gives?
 
After LA flight last month, Same day posting of my earned points and SC, same day auto transfer of my wife's and daughters points and SC, and 2 days later membership upgrade because of the SC
 
We flew WLG SYD this morning on paid ticket VA170 and points and SC have already posted to both our accounts. I'd missed this thread so almost had to pick myself up off the floor 😂 For hubby it was sector 8/8 to requalify for Platinum until Feb 2021.
 
My son flew from the US to Perth for Christmas and returned on Thursday. No points. Guess I need to contact Virgin next week 😖
 
Just flew AKL-OOL as part of my DSC booking and points and SC’s had posted before I hit the OOL lounge. To be fair though they had an extra 2hrs by time we got through the shambolic immigration at OOL 😂
