Self employed so paid for the airfares myself but it was very easy (and cheap) to gain Gold Elite and banking a year.
Over the 2,000 SP I credited to Virgin velocity

Its more expensive now as there are few $19 fares and SP are soon to be 8 SP per sector
Been buying the $35 fares so the cost will be higher in the coming year
Also the banking a year for Elite is now 2,400 rather than 2,000 so will most likely just achieve the 1,350 then credit the balance to velocity
