If you actually mean "status credits", I don't think you'll be receiving them as they are only awarded for spend.
No, I was referring to status points. They certainly don't make it clear that only revenue tickets count toward status points; I booked a grip of award tickets thinking they were going to requalify me for status this year.
Here's the exact verbage on the
website:
For Status in 2016, Virgin America travelers will earn status based on either the number of flights they take or the amount they spend purchasing flights. Reward flights will also be counted towards achieving status.
It's pretty weak if the flights don't count toward status points and they don't spell it out on the website
