01 · Direct from a card
No Indian card transfers into Virgin Australia Velocity directly — the chains below are the only way in. That scarcity is the whole reason they're worth the tolls.
02 · Via intermediaries — aggregated ratio
Card points hopping through 1–4 partner programs into Virgin Australia Velocity, every leg multiplied into one end-to-end ratio. Only chains that unlock this program or beat the direct route render — the value-traps are suppressed.

Balance-origin hops — a stash you already hold, no card involved. Single leg, so the ratio is the aggregate. Most are rescue valves, not plans: check the ₹/mile before moving anything.

Miles/pt = Virgin Australia Velocity miles per 1 point of the source; aggregated ratios multiply every leg. ₹/mile prices the burn at house values. Chain rows print their own mins and caps — a capped valve moves slowly no matter how good the ratio. Per-card exceptions show their own aggregated ratio on the row. † priced at the marginal bonus-block rate (e.g. Bonvoy 60,000-pt blocks) — smaller transfers land fewer miles than the row implies. Cards saved in your wallet are highlighted automatically.
