Status Credits on Virgin Holidays Bookings

What makes this promo doubly interesting is how Status Credits are calculated when you book a Virgin Australia Holidays package. Normally, Velocity uses a revenue-based system — you earn 1 Status Credit for every $12 you spend (or $24 on Economy Lite). So in most cases, the only way to earn more is to spend more.

Holiday packages work differently. When you book through Virgin Australia Holidays, your Status Credits are still calculated the old way: based on your fare type and the distance you fly. And that’s exactly why this double Status Credits offer is such a standout.
