Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen some great promotions being run by Virgin Australia, and it appears that they’ll continue. Virgin recently bought back the Velocity program at the cost of $623 million and with this brings a lot of opportunities for the program to grow, expand and continue to be valuable to customers.

As an example, only a few days ago the airline announced that they would be increasing their earning for Ola rides (which is now a lot more valuable than Qantas and Uber) and on top of that, they’re running promotions on buying points and even on hotel stays.

You are now able to earn triple Velocity points on all flights for a limited time

It’s great to see these types of promotion and I hope it continues. The last time Velocity offered a double status promotion was in November of last year, so I doubt we’ll be seeing one of those for a couple of months yet.

Even if you don’t plan of using the offer at all, I’d still recommend just activating it as you never know when you may need to travel, and it’s nice to earn more than you usually would.

Will you be taking advantage of the triple points offer?
