Velocity members will earn Status Credits on eligible Virgin Australia marketed flights with a VA flight number that are operated by partner airlines, Virgin Australia flights between Australia and Doha (operated by Qatar Airways for Virgin Australia) with a VA flight number VA1 to VA29 (inclusive) and partner airline marketed flights with a partner airline flight number. Status Credit earn for these flights is based on the fare type originally purchased and number of miles flown at the earn rates outlined on the relevant partner airline page on the Velocity Frequent Flyer website.

For all Status Credit earn, Status Credits accrual is based on single flight segments that consist of individual flight numbers. An itinerary that involves a change in aircraft but retains the same flight number is considered a single flight segment. An itinerary that consists of a change in flight numbers, even if the same aircraft is used for the entire itinerary, is considered two flight segments. Domestic flights booked within an international journey will accrue Status Credits at the earn level for international flights. Members travelling on upgraded fares purchased with Points or any other subsidised means of upgrades on Virgin Australia or our partner airlines will earn Status Credits based on original purchased fare type.
