| Virgin Velocity Accounts Suspended |
At least three AFF members, as well as their family members, had their Velocity accounts suspended last week. These members all received emails from Velocity Frequent Flyer stating that unusual activity had been detected on their accounts, and that they would be suspended for up to 30 days while an audit is conducted.
The affected members all say they have done nothing wrong. They are unaware of why Virgin has accused them of breaching the Velocity Frequent Flyer terms and conditions. Yet, in the meantime, they are unable to log into their Velocity accounts and have no access to membership benefits.

You'll only be spending 3 days in New York and the Business Class airfare is $9,000. But if you stay for a whole week in New York, the airfare price drops to more... |
