How to get FREE Virgin Gold/Platinum Membership

Qantas Frequent Flyer members with Silver/Gold/Platinum membership are about to get even more rewarded. Virgin Australia has just opened a massive can of worms for Qantas by offering Qantas FF members the SAME level of membership that they have with Qantas. You just need to ask for a status match. Here's the details from the Virgin Australia website.

Who is eligible for a status match with Velocity?

If you are an Australian resident, over the age of 18 and hold a status higher then entry level in another airline loyalty program*, you may be eligible for a status match.

How do I apply?

To be considered for a status match, please email the following to statusmatch@velocityrewards.com.au:

1. In the subject line, include the status you are seeking to be matched to (e.g. Gold)
2. Your Velocity membership number. If you are not a Velocity member, join now using ‘STATUSMATCH’ as the promotional code
3. A copy of your most recent frequent flyer monthly statement or a scanned copy of your current frequent flyer card. Your statement or card must clearly show the date of validity and your current status level

What happens next?

Please allow 4 weeks for processing after receipt of your request. If your request is approved, confirmation will be sent to you by email^ and you will receive a Velocity membership pack containing your new card in the mail.


This offer ends at the end of September 2011.
