Velocity Double Status Credits Promo: May 2025
Earn twice as fast with the latest Velocity double Status Credits or double points offer.
For frequent flyers chasing status with Virgin Australia, very few promotions generate as much anticipation as Velocity’s double Status Credit offers. These promotions allow members to fast-track their way to elite status, often for flights they were planning to take anyway.
With Virgin Australia running status deals more frequently in recent years, airline loyalists are regularly asking when the next offer will drop. Based on past promotion cycles and emerging trends, Flight Hacks is predicting that Velocity’s next double Velocity Status Credit promotion could be announced sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, Velocity has teamed up with Corporate Traveller to offer double Status Credits on flight bookings made with the travel agent.

When Is The Next Velocity Double Status Credit Promotion?
Velocity’s most recent double Status Credit offer is slightly disappointing, as it does not include direct bookings made with Virgin Australia. The most recent network-wide DSC promo launched in February 2025, nine months after a similar promotion in May 2024, which was preceded by another offer four months prior in January 2024. These offers continued a clear trend, with Velocity increasing the frequency of its double Status Credit offers as pandemic-driven status retention deals ceased.
Looking at the pattern, several months stand out as recurring favourites, likely timed to coincide with key travel booking periods. Given the most recent offer, we are quietly confident that Velocity will drop its next double Status Credit deal in June 2025, which would fit comfortably within the pattern. This also aligns with Virgin’s past EOFY sales and summer holiday marketing.
The exact date is harder to narrow down, but with further analysis and insight into the Velocity marketing schedule, a launch from 15th to 20th June 2025 would appear likely.
