If you are not already obsessively counting your airline points, consider this your sign to start. My favourite topic of conversation with friends is always our balance, membership tier, and where we plan on using our points next. Booking myself an almost free holiday would not even be possible if I was not being smart with my everyday spending and choosing to only fly with Virgin Australia and their partner airlines.
But there is another way to earn points and status credits quicker than ever, while also having access to discounted flights. I have just spotted a new deal which allows Aussies to join Virgin Australia Business Flyer if you are a small to medium enterprise. Best yet, if you spend $2,000 in the first three months, you will have access to two complimentary Velocity Pilot Gold memberships. From competitive fares to flexible travel options, it is designed to help business trips run smoothly, while racking up points along the way.
Virgin Australia offers a variety of fares: Choice, Flex and Business Class if you are a mid-to-large market organisation, plus guaranteed discounts of up to 10 per cent if you are an SME through Virgin Australia Business Flyer. There is even the flexibility to add-on extras only like food and drinks, rather than paying for inclusions they may not use. While your weekly trips may involve interstate travel, thanks to Velocity’s well-connected network, access is available to world-class international airline partners like Qatar, Singapore Airlines and United. So wherever work is taking you and your colleagues, you can earn points and maintain your status the moment you land back on the ground.
There are endless benefits to choosing Virgin Velocity for business travel, including access to a team of dedicated account managers. They are there to help you book travel seamlessly and stick to a budget, and they will also advise on how to boost and maintain points. Business Flyer tiers allow eligible members to earn Velocity Points based on annual flown spend, with earn rates ranging from one point per $1 spent through to two points per $1 spent depending on tier. The more points in your account, the more reward seats you can book. To find out more information, head to the Virgin Australia website.
