After seeing the Qantas DSC offer, a quick Google search revealed the landing page for the upcoming VA offer.

You MUST activate the offer once the promotion is live BEFORE booking flights or they won’t count.

Earn double Status Credits when you activate this offer and book an eligible Virgin Australia flight by 27 May 2019 for travel until 14 April 2020.

————

This offer is not valid on long haul international flights to or from Los Angeles or Hong Kong.

Changes to existing bookings made prior to the Promotion Period are not eligible for this offer. Status Credits cannot be earned on Velocity Reward Seat bookings.

    The T&Cs don't exclude Gift Vouchers (creates a shell booking with PNR) which usually qualify for these promotions if purchased during the promo window. Qantas does exclude gift vouchers from DSC, and has done for a couple of years now since many of us started exploiting them.

    Could be a good opportunity for those that know they're going to be travelling but can't lock down dates yet.

    • itx on 18/05/2019 - 12:36

      That's a really interesting idea, but I think Virgin treats gift vouchers quite differently - whereas Qantas issues a PNR and the flight gets "filled" into it, Virgin very much treats their vouchers as payment tender. The Virgin voucher codes do not appear to have any correlation to a PNR. I think the difference in how the two airlines treat it comes down to the backend they use (as far as I know, Virgin's is a more off the shelf solution from Sabre).

      Hasn’t started yet mate ;)
      Check back on the 20th.

      • BluBoy on 18/05/2019 - 11:37

        Whoops… Only a little bit eager :)

  • freestyle18 on 18/05/2019 - 12:13

    Not valid for long haul… (facepalm…)

    • Thundaja on 18/05/2019 - 14:23

      Stopover?

  • TheAviator on 18/05/2019 - 13:44

    Damn, if only it was available on their HK flights!

    • simgue on 18/05/2019 - 14:45

      Strange that they've excluded it this time around. I got a good points bump on a HK run in November with double status.

      • Thundaja on 18/05/2019 - 16:03

        They’ve probably clued onto the fact that most major status runs for Gold or Platinum in one hit involve a leg between MEL/SYD/PER and LAX/HK.

        • freestyle18 on 19/05/2019 - 00:01

          Shouldn't really matter.. if you're flying, you're flying..

  • wozup12 on 18/05/2019 - 15:28

    I have a few freedom flights next week booked. Any ideas as to the best way to leverage this offer?

  • cerealz on 18/05/2019 - 17:11

    Thanks op for the post

  • BlinkyBill on 18/05/2019 - 19:58

    Awesome. I have a few flights coming up in the next month.

  • MrBillions on 18/05/2019 - 20:00

    Are there any platinum hacks available?

  • cgb on 19/05/2019 - 12:21

    Does anyone know if you can book multiple upcoming flights across the year and all bookings be eligible for the double SC? Or is it just the first booking?

    • Thundaja on 19/05/2019 - 13:42

      All of them booked within the period. Last time this came around I booked my work trips for the next 3 months in advance ;)

  • flipstardirect on 20/05/2019 - 00:02

    Thanks, just activated.

  • YZYgold on 20/05/2019 - 02:33

    I has having this issue too. I re-opened the website in Chrome Incognito then entered my VFF as normal and it worked.

    "You have successfully activated this offer, congrats! Don't forget to enter your Velocity number when you book a flight to earn double Status Credits"

    • db2k on 20/05/2019 - 08:21

      I also did as above (incognito) and received:

      SOMETHING WENT WRONG
      Oops, an error occurred while processing your request.

      At least that was a first time ever of legitimately using incognito mode ….

      • MrBillions on 20/05/2019 - 09:24

        Worked at the end after 5 goes. Thanks

      Doing this plus incognito is what finally worked for me

      • db2k on 20/05/2019 - 08:42

        Failed on 1st, 2nd attempt, worked on 3rd, failed on 4th and 5th attempts … both my account and partners.

        Are you supposed to get an email confirming successful enrollment to the promo?

        Good luck errrbodaay …

      • kingzac on 20/05/2019 - 08:44

        Neither combination worked for me. What a buggy system

        • kingzac on 20/05/2019 - 08:46

          Finally got the number input, put number in and got the error message. Ugh.

          Edit: finally got there with incog, this link and about 8 attempts

  • kjn260 on 20/05/2019 - 09:53

    Does this apply for flights booked through the Business Accelerate portal? Any thoughts?

    • anglais on 20/05/2019 - 15:28

      Shouldn't be a problem provided the Velocity account has activated the deal.

  • jerrysfang on 20/05/2019 - 10:23

    "Virgin Australia marketed and operated flight" …

    I'd really like this offer to apply for a flight from SYD to SIN, but it's a codeshare with Singapore Airlines, which is unfortunately also operated by Singapore Airlines.

    Does anyone have any advice on this? The flight is eligible for "regular" status credits - so why not double? Particularly given Virgin Australia don't operate any flights on this route.

    Thanks!

    • Serathis on 20/05/2019 - 20:52

      you can't. has to be VA operated flight if you want the double SC.

  • Antz on 24/05/2019 - 01:05

    Does anyone know if this deal is still valid when using a discount code? Hoping to book with a 7% off discount code but want the double SC offer more.

  • Jono258 on 24/05/2019 - 11:30

    Booked last night for November. Does the miles and status credits show up after the flight?

    • mprisk on 24/05/2019 - 13:34

      On the last promotion, it all showed up in my account a few days after (regular + double points), despite the t&c's suggesting up to 4 weeks.
