Until flying returns to normal, we'll be with you all the way

Status gift and year-long extension for our Platinum, Gold and Silver members

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has drastically impacted the airline industry along with many other industries both in Australia and overseas.

We wanted to make sure that when flying returns to normal our Platinum, Gold and Silver members are set to continue enjoying all the benefits that come with Status.

What we are doing for our members
  • Status Extension and Preservation
    We'll be extending and preserving the current Status of all Velocity Frequent Flyer Platinum, Gold, and Silver members for a further 12 months.
    If you were a Platinum, Gold or Silver Status member between 4 March 2020 and 29 March 2020,  you will receive a 12-month extension to your benefit period, effective from your review date. E.g. If you had a benefit period end date of 25 April 2020 we will be extending this to 25 April 2021.1

    Once your complimentary year of Status begins, your new review date will appear on our Website and in the Velocity App.

    If you were a Platinum, Gold or Silver Status member,  who downgraded between 4 March 2020 and 29 March 2020, you will have your previous Status reinstated for a further 12 months.1
