Rocket Travel is the platform used by Virgin Australia to allow Velocity Frequent Flyer members to earn and redeem points on hotel bookings. Until 5 May 2024, you can earn 12x Velocity points per dollar instead of the usual 3x points if you book your accomodation via the Rocket Travel page on the Virgin Australia website.
12x points is noticeably better than the 6x and 9x points promotions they’ve run in the past. That said, you should always compare prices on several hotel booking sites to ensure you’re getting the best price for your desired accomodation.
