With more than 10 million members, Virgin Australia's Velocity Frequent Flyer program is one of Australia's largest airline programs. You can earn points when flying with Virgin Australia or its partners and when making eligible purchases, including those made with a Velocity rewards credit card.

Flights with Virgin Australia's partner airlines including Delta, Etihad and Singapore Airlines
Items in the Velocity Rewards Store, including kitchen appliances, mobile phones and electronics
Car hire, holidays, accommodation and more elements to your trips than just flights

We currently don't have that product, but here are others to consider:
How we picked these
How much are Velocity points worth?
We found Velocity Frequent Flyer points can be valued at more than $10 per 1,000. However, your points value changes depending on what you're cashing them in for.
You'll usually get the most out of your points by exchanging them for flights rather than physical items from the Velocity shop.
We compared a few flights and a few products to see where we would get the most value. Our findings showed the longer the flight, the more worthwhile it was to use your points. A Perth-Brisbane flight is worth almost double the value of a Melbourne-Sydney flight.
How many Velocity points do I need for a free flight?
You can get a free Virgin Australia flight with as little as 7,800 points, plus applicable taxes. This is the starting fare for short-haul flights between cities Sydney and Gold Coast or Melbourne and Adelaide.
Redemption flights are calculated by distance in miles, so the longer your flight, the more points you'll need to redeem.
Examples of Velocity Points needed for free flights in Australia
Explore Australia's stunning destinations with Virgin Australia's incredible flight deals! Fly to select locations from just $60, making domestic travel more affordable than ever. Exclusions, T&Cs apply.
International flights from $545 on Virgin Australia
Sample fare departs from Melbourne to Queenstown. Destination includes Apia (Samoa), Denpasar (Bali), Tokyo (Haneda), Nadi (Fiji) and Port Vila (Vanuatu). T&Cs apply.
Can you use Velocity Frequent Flyer points to upgrade to business class?
Platinum status members receive a complimentary upgrade on up to 4 flights per year.
Don't fret; there is good news for those who haven't reached that stage yet. You can use your points to pay for the upgrade or bid for one.
UpgradeMe Points: You can upgrade from economy to business class on most domestic routes with as low as 4,900 points on Freedom Fares or 10,000 points on Getaway and Elevate Fares. The number of points does increase based on the length of your flight.
UpgradeMe Premium Bid: If your flight is eligible, you can nominate an amount you're willing to pay for an upgrade. You'll be notified as late as 3 hours before your flight if you've received the upgrade.
Can you buy extra Velocity points?
Yes. You can purchase extra Velocity Frequent Flyer points from as low as $23.40 per 1,000 points.
You'll need to buy them in increments of 1,000 and can buy up to 250,000 per year. The more points you buy, the lower the per-point price will be.
How do Velocity's status credits and status tiers work?
Velocity Frequent Flyer status tiers determine the benefits that come with your membership. You earn more points for flights and other activities as you reach a higher status. You'll also gain access to benefits with Virgin Australia and other Velocity partners, like lounge invitations.
Unlike some other frequent flyer programs, this includes the ability to use points to upgrade international long-haul flights, which you can only do as a Gold or Platinum Velocity member.
Membership status is determined by the number of eligible sectors you fly in, the status credits you earn from flights and your spending at Flybuys partners. Some frequent flyer credit cards have sign-up offers that also give bonus status credits if you meet certain criteria.
To maintain a higher status, you need to earn a set number of status credits and fly in a set number of eligible sectors within a 12-month period.

Airline loyalty vs lowest prices. You'll need to fly almost exclusively with Virgin or its partners to get the most out of your membership, which can mean paying more compared to other airlines for your fares.
Points expire. Earn or redeem points within a 24-month period to prevent your points from disappearing.
Wait for a sale before booking. Virgin occasionally offers flight sales with deals for bonus points or status credits. This can help you get to the next status tier or your next redemption quicker.
Look for credit card sign-up bonuses. Points-earning cards often come with a sign-up bonus if you meet a minimum-spend condition. If you're looking for a quick way to earn points and are in need of a new card, consider one with a higher bonus.
Do Velocity points expire?
Yes. Your points will expire after 24 months without earning or redeeming points. If it's getting close to that point, consider booking a flight or redeeming some points on a small purchase to extend their life.
Our expert says
"Easy way to keep your Velocity Points active? Set up Flybuys so your points from there automatically convert to Flybuys. That's better value than a $10 off voucher and it keeps your account active."
Yes. You can pool points together into 1 account for up to 6 people. You can have a maximum of 2 adults and 4 children under 18 living at the same address in 1 account.
There does need to be a nominated "beneficiary" who can then redeem the rewards for flights or higher membership levels.
If you're a Gold or Platinum member set up with family pooling, you can also take advantage of these benefits:
Gold: Guaranteed economy reward seats for an annual family trip and family-friendly lounge access
Platinum: Companion memberships for another person once you've reached the status credits threshold
How can I claim missing Velocity Frequent Flyer points?
If you didn't add your Velocity membership number to your flight booking, you can manage your booking online to include it. If you're travelling with an airline partner, you'll need to call that airline directly and ask to add your Velocity membership number to your booking.
Allow 14 days for your points to hit your account after travelling. If they haven't appeared, you can submit a missing points claim in your Velocity account.
If you're claiming points after the flight, you can claim them online within 6 months of travel. These claims can take 7 days to process for Virgin Australia flights or 4 to 6 weeks for partner airlines.

Hi Karen,
It depends on the partner airline, flight route and other factors. But as a guide, an economy reward flight with United Airlines or Virgin Atlantic starts from 59,800 Velocity Points according to the reward flight table and calculator on the Velocity website. This doesn’t include fees, taxes and carrier charges, which you’d need to factor in as an additional cost. If you redeemed points for Any Seat, the number of points you would need would typically much higher. You can search for reward seats on the Virgin Australia website to view details of available reward flights or Any Seat options. I hope this helps.

My points are about to expire. I have a flight booked for the end of next month, after the date my points are due to expire. Will my points still expire even though I have made a booking?
Finder
SarahJune 26, 2023Finder
Hi Rob,
Yes, you need to keep your account active by earning or using points during the specified time period, so if this flight falls beyond the expiration date, you’re likely to lose them.
Can you use some of your points to redeem something small from the Velocity store such as a gift care, or earn points with a partner such as by purchasing fuel with 7/Eleven? Taking action like this is likely to be counted as “activity” and will help you avoid losing all of your points.
Hope this helps!

You can download the Virgin Australia app for free from iTunes or Google Play and track your Velocity Points balance and Status Credits balance, transfer your points to a family member and claim missing points. By logging into your account using your membership number and password, you will have access to your account details, update your personal information, make a flight booking, find out how to submit missing points claim, view your points balance and redeem your points. If you would like to speak to someone directly about your membership details, you can call the Membership Contact Centre.
Velocity allows you to transfer your points to an eligible family member up to four times per membership year. Learn how you can make the most out of transferring your points and family pooling.
