VA - Have successfully retained PS, where is my 2 complimentary the Lounge passes?

[AustraliaPoochie]

In the account section, in my benefit, its "join now".
No mention of the complimentary VA the lounge domestic passes.
After I attained PS for the first time, in my benefit, it mentioned, 2 complimentary passes. Those were duly used.
Now that I have retained, 2nd year as a PS, its "join now", ...
Does this mean that the 2 complimentary passes were testers/teasers, and that for me to access the Lounge, now as a VA PS, the only way is to pay Aud$300 for annual access to the Lounge as a Silver member?
My year is not till end of Jun 15, for those of you who have retained VA PS for the 2nd year running, and happy with that, where did you find your complimentary passes.
OR did you pay the $300?
OR status climbed to VA SG?

I think they are virtual passes loaded into your account. Should be visible to lounge staff when they swipe your card.

Yes, there were virtual passes the last time when I got it, but it notified me of so.
Now, this time, not even a mention of access.
Thanks for your reply anyway, I guess I can always ask at the VA lounge when I "next choose to fly Virgin Australia.

If your status review for silver is not until June, then you won't be seeing any passes until the status review is done.

Exactly. Gotta wait for the status review in June/July.

Another option if you only want to achieve silver you can buy a years lounge membership for 40000 velocity points.
