Same as last time. Get 1000 Velocity Frequent Flyer points for free just for signing up.

To earn 1,000 bonus Velocity Points, you must sign up for My Post Digital Mailbox between 12 February and 12 March 2015 inclusive. To be eligible to earn Velocity Points, your first and last name must match the information in your Velocity account. Velocity Points will be allocated to your Velocity Account within 10 business days from transaction date.

If you don't have a Velocity account yet you can join for free here.

For those unfamiliar with Mypost Digital Mailbox it is basically a website that stores your bills electronically and allows you to pay them online. My personal opinion is that it's nothing ground breaking but it's slightly more convenient than the old paper and email bills I received which is why I use it. The 50 Velocity points per bill paid is a bonus.

Disclosure: I have nothing to do with Aust Post but I work for Virgin Australia who run the Velocity program.

    Is it free to sign up and are there subscription costs?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 08:46

      Yes, free to sign up and no subscription costs.

      • Gavman on 12/02/2015 - 08:47

        Where does is say or promote this free 1000 velocity points?

        • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 08:51

          It's in an email being sent out today. Not a targeted offer though, everyone can enter a Velocity number to receive the points. Just make sure the first and last name used for Mypost match your Velocity account.

    How about the poor plebs who signed up for this when it was brought out? Not me…just asking for a friend.

      They got the pleasure of convenient bill paying instead?

      I registered again under another username and email

      • Sweet3st on 12/02/2015 - 18:23

        different velocity email too?

        • Kaboda on 12/02/2015 - 20:11

          Yeah different velocity email. I'll take the risk it doesn't authenticate with my velocity email.

  • Gavman on 12/02/2015 - 09:03

    So will the points be credited to my velocity account automatically or do I have to do something

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:05

      Credited automatically within 10 business days.

  • limja on 12/02/2015 - 09:04

    and what?! it only support iOS .. where is android apps!!?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:07

      You can do everything through the website. The app is just optional.

    I could never really find a reason to use this. Most of my bills have automatic debiting set up as it is, and even if I didn't have that getting an email and logging into my online banking to make the payments is a quick and painless process. If I was taking the time to pay bills manually chances are I'd log into my banking anyway to double check account balances.

    1000 bonus points isn't bad however.

  • abc on 12/02/2015 - 09:22

    Does the bill payment accept credit card without surcharge?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:23

      Yes.

    • CyberMurning on 12/02/2015 - 09:42

      so we can pay council with credit card without surcharge with this method?? (the council bill says they will charge x% if paying by cc)

      • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:58

        I pay my council rates by credit card without a surcharge using Mypost. Can't say for sure if it will be the same for every council though.

        • iversonjack on 12/02/2015 - 15:05

          what council? anyone know if brisbane city council still charge cc fee with mypost?

        • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 15:07

          @iversonjack: Mine is Ipswich Council. Not sure about BCC.

    Is it possible to create 100 accounts to get 100,000 points?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:41

      I guess it is possible if you have 99 friends or family although the points would be sent to each individual account rather than 100k points being sent to a single Velocity account.

      • Turd on 12/02/2015 - 09:45

        Ahh right… true… oh well there goes taht idea lol

    • THICKnSLOW on 12/02/2015 - 09:46

      Yes it's called family pooling

      https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/ProgramBenefit…

      Good if you're in a family that breeds like rabbits.

      • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:49
        +1

        A Family Pool can consist of a total of six family members (including the beneficiary), with up to two members 18 years or over and up to four members under 18 years of age.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 12/02/2015 - 09:59

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows: I'd like to know this as well, could be 5000 points in it.

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

          well for the AusPost one, you need a mobile phone to send SMS code to & you address needs to be in their database (so you can't make up a non existing one).
          So it'll depend on whether they cross-check against existing customers/signups or not.

        • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 10:24

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows: For family pooling? Not really sure. I don't recall submitting ID for Mypost but they send me my private mail electronically so I guess it has to match the name of the addressee?

        • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 11:30

          You can transfer points to another member who doesn't need to be part of your family. I think the minimum transfer is 5000 points but if you convinced a few friends to sign up their families you could transfer all the points to your account and share(?) the rewards.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2015 - 15:12

          @donga100:

          we got stung with that, you only pool the points earned after you pool.
          i.e if you have 4900 point then decide to pool, you can't transfer those points.
          you have to stop pooling, earn another 5000 points, xfer those points, then pool.

  • CyberMurning on 12/02/2015 - 09:41

    what the 1000 points worth? can we redeem straight away to gifcard maybe?

    • mr kindface on 12/02/2015 - 09:52

      eg; $20 coles gift card is 4500 points

          @abc:
          I feel hunting for bargains can be saving in $ but actually we pay with something else: our precious time.
          there should be a smart decision spending time vs cash :)

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 10:27

      The cheapest thing you can redeem is 2000 points for a Lonely Planet book. Average/min value of 1000 points is around $5 but it varies depending on what you use it for. If you use points to purchase flights or upgrades it is significantly more but even some gift vouchers offer better value for money such as $100 for Crown Hotels for 15,000 points.

  • THICKnSLOW on 12/02/2015 - 09:44

    OP, can you post link of where it states 1000 points will be awarded?

    All I found is this

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:56

      Sorry, no link. It is just being sent in an email today.

        Ok cool.

        Safe to say no rush to sign up given it's a time limited offer rather than a quantity limited offer

        • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 09:59

          Yes, so long as you sign up before 12 March 2015 you should be fine.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2015 - 10:05

      ~How can your mailbox be real if your address isn't real?~

  • hawkers8905 on 12/02/2015 - 10:18

    I already have a digital mailbox. If I add my velocity number will I still get the 1000 points?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 10:28

      I doubt it. You will receive 50 points per bill over $50 paid.

  • Denaz on 12/02/2015 - 12:03

    Dammit, might have to create another account then

  • frogduck on 12/02/2015 - 12:13

    Just made an account and was keen to use but couldn't find a single biller that I use on their list :( made suggestions though.

  • ablecookie on 12/02/2015 - 12:21

    Just signed up. However found not many WA establishment on the list. Looks like will be only receiving one bill per year!

    • Hikey on 12/02/2015 - 12:55

      Same here, was surprised how few providers they have!

  • Mugsy on 12/02/2015 - 12:53

    Just as well, I was looking at signing up to this a few months back but they had address issues which they've rectified for me since.

    The best part is that I'll pay using a Virgin Flyer card so more Velocity points for me!

  • Entertainment on 12/02/2015 - 12:59

    403 Our system is currently unavailable. We'll be back as soon as we can, so please try again later.

    Man I hate it when my mailbox at home gives me a 403 error when im expecting important mail. Oh wait, it doesn't. Because that system has been working fine for the last what? 100 years?

    • donga100 on 12/02/2015 - 17:33

      Are you trying to say that physical post is more convenient and reliable than email? Oh well, I guess Australia Post won't be offended given that they operate both services…

  • txb on 12/02/2015 - 17:32

    do we need to confirm our mobile numbers? or is the email validation link sufficient?

  • anaphylactoid on 14/02/2015 - 10:51

    The service providers are pretty limited. What else one do with the digital mailbox? Can you make payments via this thing if the bill is not a listed service provider? cheers.

  • harrribo on 23/02/2015 - 16:35

    The site is a pain - the verification SMS s are stll getting sent out SEVERAL DAYS after signing up ( always different )

    Which is strange ( as well as annoying ) as account had been activated successful

    I wouldn't trust my credit card details to be kept on a site that does that

  • Gooddeal21 on 25/02/2015 - 12:53

    how long does it take to have the points into velocity after we signed up ?

    • peter05 on 26/02/2015 - 00:14
