Following on from the previous announcement of free Status Credits, all VA members with Status now also get a 12 month extension. This is most likely due to QF announcing the same extension last night.

Previous mention of free Status Credits listed here, this is still applicable:

Dear xxxx,

As we all know, this is a rapidly evolving situation which has developed further in the last 24 hours.

In addition to the Status Credit gift recently announced, we’ll also be extending and preserving the current Status of all Velocity Frequent Flyer Silver, Gold and Platinum members for a further 12 months.

This means that there are no minimum flight sectors required to maintain your current Status, for the next 12 months.

We’ll send you an email in the next two weeks with details on:

1. Your Status Credit gift

2. Your 12-month Status extension

In this changing environment, the safety and needs of our members and guests are key and we are really pleased to be able to offer this 12-month Status extension in addition to the Status Credit gift.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and your ongoing support of the Virgin Australia Group.

Yours sincerely,
