Velocity Status Earn Reduced? [no - earn is still based on fare type]

[Chainsaws]

Im feeling cheated by my Velocity points disappearing. Last year you would get 35 status points for Brisbane to Melbourne.
Now you get 20.
Flying the same but you can’t keep up when the points drop off????

Choice vs Flex fares?

VFF do not use status points.
Points and status (credits) are different.
Number of status credits earnt can change, like when they brought in lower fares were non eligible sectors for status retention.

Choice vs Flex fares?

Yep this. Flex is 35. Choice is 20.

 

[Must...Fly!]

Yep this. Flex is 35. Choice is 20.

There were different earn rates during covid? which may account for this

OP said last year. So either OP bought a Choice fare when DSC was on, or bought Flex last year and Choice this year.
