When you select a Velocity credit card you gain access to the Velocity Frequent Flyer Rewards Program, which is Virgin Australia’s travel rewards scheme. The program allows you to earn and redeem Velocity Points whenever you travel with Virgin Australia, Velocity’s international airline partners and use your card with the worldwide network of program partners. This network of companies means that you can earn points by using your credit card to book accommodation, car rentals, travel assistance, insurance and much more. You also have the benefit of earning Points twice – both on your credit card and with the partnered company.
With the Velocity Program you can redeem your points for flights to hundreds of international destinations. The scheme offers Reward Seat redemptions for the lowest points cost, and if you can’t find a Reward Seat on the flight you want, you can always use your Points for Any Seat with the airline of your choice. Velocity rewards are not limited to flights – you can redeem points for a wide variety of products and services from partner companies including car hire, accommodation, travel and entertainment, retail rewards and charity donations.
The Velocity Program also features Status Credits, a tiered system that determines your membership level. Each time you fly with Virgin Australia and or one of Velocity’s international airline partners you earn Status Credits, earning more for higher fare classes and longer flights. When you join Velocity your membership is set at an entry level of Red. Your account is assessed daily and when you have earned enough Status Credits you are promoted to the next level, progressing through Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each time you increase your level of membership you start enjoying extra benefits.
