Earn 9x Velocity points per dollar spent instead of the standard 3x points when you book accomodation through the Hopper Hotels page on the Virgin Australia website.
To earn the triple points you have to book by 17 May 2026 for travel between 11 May 2026 and 26 Mar 2027. There is no limit on the number of bookings you can make during the offer period.
If you happen to have Platinum Plus with Velocity, you’ll earn an extra 4.5x Velocity points per dollar spent on top of the 9x points.
Before booking accomodation, always compare prices as sometimes the same hotel can be had for a lot less if you go through another booking site.
A great resource to check is the hotels page on Rewardist as many of the big booking services (e.g. Agoda, Expedia, Trip, Booking.com etc) are constantly offering 10% or more cashback.
