Hi there... a promising update from my experience this arvo.

I spoke to Virgin Money who said I'd need to speak to Velocity about the bonus status credits as that is not something they can help with. When I spoke to Velocity, they were aware of my Virgin Money High Flyer card and could see I had met the minimum spend requirements for the sign up bonus and had received my 2 x 40K VFF. She quoted the terms were the sign up bonus of 100 SCs would be applied 30 days after meeting all spend requirements. Therefore she escalated my case for further investigation (as I'm over 30 days now).

She was quite careful about asking when I had applied for and when I had been approved for this credit card (mid Jan 25 for me). I'm pretty sure the promo ended in late Jan25. She was sometimes trying to sway me into asking about the 20% bonus SCs for flying with a flight bought with this CC... which I said I knew about the separate feature of the card.

The Velocity lady said I'll be informed in 1-2 weeks with an update on the missing 100 SCs.

(Virgin Money had a code for this particular CC promo: OWZARYC3 - but I didn't need to use it when I spoke to the lady at Velocity)

Hello all,

Does anyone have a screen shot of the original offer?
"Earn up to 80,000 bonus Velocity points + 100 VA status credits. You need to spend at least $3,500 each month for the first two months to get the bonus points. This offer expires on 31 January 2025."

"also earn 20% bonus status credits on VA flights paid for using this card, up to 100 per year (in addition to the sign-up bonus)."

I too was under the impression that there would be 100 SC once spend criteria is met but have contacted Virgin and they have no record of this promotion.

Thank you.
Hi there.. please contact Velocity to have your case escalated if you meet criteria. See my update just earlier for my info.
