Once a member is upgraded to Silver, Gold, Platinum or Platinum Plus membership, they will have one year from the date of upgrade to earn the required amount of total Status Credits and minimum number of Status Credits requried to be earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and or operated flights, flown by you, required to maintain this membership level.

The date on which we assess if you have maintained your membership level is called your Review Date and you will find it listed in your Account or on the front of your membership card.

On this date we will check to see if you have earned the required Status Credits to maintain your membership level. If you have not met the maintain requirements by this date, you will move down to the next membership level.

Remember, if you upgrade to the next membership level before your Review Date, the date of the upgrade becomes your new Review Date.

Terms & Conditions: 

^{From 1 October 2025, Eligible Sectors will no longer be required to upgrade or maintain your Status. To be eligible to upgrade into Silver, Gold, and Platinum Status, members must have the required number of Status Credits in their Status Credit balance earned during the previous 365 days, with at least 50% of the Status Credits in their balance earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and/or Virgin Australia operated flights flown by the member. To be eligible to maintain Silver, Gold, and Platinum Status, members must have the required Status Credits in their Status Credit balance earned during their Benefit Period, with at least 50% of the Status Credits in their balance earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and/or Virgin Australia operated flights flown by the member. To be eligible to upgrade into Platinum Plus Status, members must have a total of 2,000 Status Credits in their Status Credit balance earned during the previous 365 days, with at least 1,500 Status Credits in their balance earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and/or Virgin Australia operated flights flown by the member. To be eligible for Forever Gold Status, Velocity members must have a total of 12,000 Status Credits in their Status Credit balance calculated from 1 February 2013 onwards, with at least 9,000 Status Credits in their balance earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and/or Virgin Australia operated flights flown by the member. Status Credits earned through eligible Partner Airline marketed and operated flights, Family Pooling (as a beneficiary), Flybuys, eligible Velocity Points earning credit cards or with any other partners will not count towards the minimum balance of Status Credits required to be earned on eligible Virgin Australia marketed and/or Virgin Australia operated flights flown by the member. Status Credits transferred to a beneficiary through Family Pooling are not earned by the contributor and do not form part of the contributor’s Status Credit balance. For more information on how many Status Credits are required, click here. Your Status Credit balance is calculated daily based on the previous 365 days. Your Status Credit balance may fluctuate daily as new Status Credits are earned, and older Status Credits reach the end of their validity period.
