Virgin has announced a new double points promotion, offering to double any points earned for flights booked by Velocity members in the next week.
To gain the double points, you must be a member of Virgin’s Velocity frequent flyer program and enter the promo code DBLPFEB24 by using this link.
To be eligible, you must book your flights between the 19th February and 11:59pm on the 25th February. Travel must also occur between the 19th February and 11:59pm on the 30th June, 2024.
Flights must also be domestic, Trans-Tasman or short-haul and be marketed and operated by Virgin Australia.
As usual, reward seat bookings are ineligible for this offer as are codeshare services marketed or operated by partner airlines.
Do note that if you book a flight in economy and later choose to upgrade to a higher class such as premium economy or business class you’ll only get the double points for your original fare as upgrades aren’t eligible for double points.
There are no limits on the number of times this offer can be redeemed, but it cannot be combined with any other offer. Bonus points may take up to 4 weeks after you have completed your travel to arrive.
This offer comes as rival Qantas is rumoured to be preparing to launch its own double status credits promotion in the coming month or so, after a holding a sudden 72-hour domestic airfare sale and offering triple points for hotel bookings in the past week.
