How to double-dip points on Virgin Australia flights

You’re already collecting Velocity Points when booking Virgin Australia flights with your favourite credit card? Smart move.

Now what if we told you there’s an easy way to ‘double dip’ on points?

That’s a key feature of Passport Rewards, which counts Virgin Australia among its 300+ retail partners in Australia (alongside the likes of Woolworths, BWS, Myer, Bing Lee, Big W, Guess, Breville, Puma, Lenovo, and many more).

Passport Rewards lets you earn more points with every Virgin Australia flight.

Passport Rewards members can earn 1 Passport Point for every two dollars spent with Virgin Australia – think of it as a free bonus which comes on top of the Velocity Points you’re already earning.

And here’s another unique feature of Passport Rewards: its points can be converted into the points or miles of many airlines, instead of your being locked into the loyalty program of a single airline.

For example, Passport Points can be converted into Air Canada Aeroplan points at a straight 1:1 ratio.

Passport Points convert into Air Canada Aeroplan points on a 1:1 basis.

Super-savvy Australian frequent flyers rate Aeroplan as one of the better-value airline currencies – and of course, Air Canada is also a partner of Virgin Australia.

Beyond that, Air Canada is a member of the global Star Alliance airlines group – which means Aeroplan points can also be used to book flights with any of the 24 other Star Alliance member airlines.

That includes other Virgin Australia partners like ANA, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines plus Air New Zealand, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, and more.

So why are you missing out on free points every time you travel with Virgin Australia?
