Frequent Flyers Less Engaged in Velocity Program After Changes? |
|
Last week, Velocity Frequent Flyer launched its first offer of double status credits (or points) since changing the way it awards status credits in April 2025. The reaction from frequent flyers on our forum has been… lukewarm.
During Velocity’s previous bonus status credit offers, frequent flyers would come to the AFF forum to share their tips on the best Virgin Australia status runs to book. This time, many have commented that they won’t bother taking advantage of this offer at all due to the recent Velocity program changes.

Upcoming AFF Webinar:
How to Make Avios Work for You
8pm (AEST) on Thursday, 12 June 2025
Avios, now used by seven different airlines, have become a surprisingly useful points currency. You can use Avios to book flights with any Oneworld airline, including Qatar Airways Qsuites, as well as a whole host of other unique partner airlines – with great value.
The X-factor of Avios is the ability to easily transfer them between each of the 7 loyalty programs that use them. This creates not only some clever arbitrage opportunities, but also opens up the ability to use Avios on many unique and useful partner airlines.
Plus, Avios are now easier than ever before to earn in Australia! The upcoming webinar will show you all the ways to do this, and how to redeem your Avios to maximum effect.
AFF Platinum members can attend the live webinar and ask questions during the session. AFF Gold members will get access to a recording of the webinar after the event. |

Featured Trip Report
‘TK away to London & Helsinki’ by andye
I'm off on my annual trip to the European Stroke Conference. After a few years mostly flying Oneworld, I decided to give Turkish a go.
I like trying out different airlines, which means status isn't a guarantee especially as I'm not that much of a frequent flyer. TK particularly caught my eye as they were offering a free 5* (for J) 24h stopover in Istanbul and I still had a few sights to see from a previous trip…
