    • Yes it all flows though.

    Midas is currently running:
    6,000 bonus Velocity Points for any eligible service booked and completed between 19th November 2018 until 15th December, plus 2 points per $1 spent
    https://www.midas.com.au/promotions/velocity6000points/terms…

    • how much is a typical Midas car service ?
      ( standard oil change, engine oil change, safety check…and possibly car-registration check)
      i may need this

      • i answered my own question by clicking on that link,
        https://www.midas.com.au/promotions/velocity6000points/terms…

        Prices range from $149 – $249, depending on vehicle and oil), Extensive Services (all variants, Prices range from $269 – $369, depending on vehicle and oil) and Manufacturers Logbook Services

        in fact, i called a local Midas owner and he said he will do a standard service for $ 165

    • Thanks heaps, am due a service, and it doesn't seem any worse than Kmart or Ultra Tune. Saved myself a trip to Autobarn for a bucket, and you're basically getting a trip from Mel-Syd for free with the service.

      • It really isn't worth it.. They charge more than $50-$100 compared to other providers.. You're better off going elsewhere as points aren't worth it

  • I haven't got any notification with my purchase on the eStore…. (from eBay)

    Purchase on Saturday 24th November.

    • See my post above - mine took 5 days to register as pending.

  • +1

    I think trick with WIlson is obviously to book for today etc. they prob won't pay out on points say for a January date.

  • What's the cheapest skybus ticket to buy? Is it the $18.50 Melbourne one or is there another cheaper option that allows for velocity points?

    • There's a Melbourne skybus for $17.50

      • Geelong it avalon I think, $10

        • Yes i saw the $10 one but there was no input for velocity points

          • +2

            @meowmeowmeow:

            Velocity Points are available on select SkyBus Melbourne Tullamarine Airport to City and SkyBus Melbourne Tullamarine Airport to Southbank Docklands fares and SkyBus Gold Coast Airport Shuttle fares only.

            • @kerfuffle: Thanks.

              In that case I might just buy something from autobarn and pay the $10 delivery. At least then i'll get something for my money!

  • How long it will take to points credit for autobarn and bp buys.

    • BP is usually within a few days. Dunno about Autobarn

      • Thanks. Will wait a few days to find out.

      • Hi, first time filling up at BP. I've paid using my velocity global wallet at BP. Did not see my velocity FF number on BP receipt. Would this transaction tracked to my velocity FF account? Thanks.

        • Unfortunately no it won’t. You need to swipe the velocity card to get the points from BP, before using the card again (tap or insert) for the payment.

          Simply swipe your Velocity Global Wallet® card before you pay in-store at a participating BP Service Station. In order to use your Velocity Global Wallet® card as a form of payment and earn Points you must ensure you first swipe the Velocity Frequent Flyer side of your dual sided card to earn Points with BP, and then insert or Pay Wave the Global Wallet® side of your card to earn Points per dollar spent.
          https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers…

          • @melbourne guy: Oh…thought the system is smart enough to track when I made the payment with Velocity Global Wallet. Thanks mate.

  • Instead of fuel, does buying a can of coke or coffee at BP earn Velocity points?

    • +1

      Yes it does. You get 2 velocity points per dollar for non-fuel purchases.

      • thank you

  • Did anyone receive pick up confirmation from Autobarn? I don't think they are processing the online orders.

    • Yes, I ordered on 20th, got email confirmation to pick up on 23rd, and picked up yesterday, but no velocity informaion on the order and receipt. Ended up to buy a cleaning cloth in store.

    • I have Velocity on my Autobarn receipt but nothing in VA acct showing.

      My ebay purchase not showing.

      My Wilson bkg also not showing. Pretty frustrating.

  • +2

    Another option for people frustrated with Autobarn is to use Sendle to send a parcel to your neighbour for $6 or so

    • Can I just send a parcel to myself? Same address for To/From.

  • I did an online delivery order with autobahn. Entered velocity details at checkout. There's nothing on the receipt about velocity. Can anyone confirm the same and whether it's ok?

    • Mine is not showing as well, not credited to my velocity acct either.

  • +2

    My previous eBay purchase via the V store took 5 weeks for the points to credit.

  • Sorry noob question. Just got my velocity card. So do I need to carry this everywhere and scan it at every purchase? Can this be saved on your phone or automatically linked to a credit card?

    • You can save it on your phone but that's not going to be of much use at BP as they need you to swipe a card and no, you can't automatically link it to a credit card either. You can get a Velocity Escape or Velocity Platinum Amex which will allow you to earn points towards your Velocity account, but you'd still need to carry the card with you at BP

      • +1

        Get a temporary card from bp, swipe it, them add it to your account online

        • Yep that's what I did for BP. However, still doesn't change the fact you need to physically carry the card around all the time. A bit of an annoying feature.

      • Hey kerfuffle, do velocity cards not have a barcode to scan? I was expecting my velocity card to have a barcode but it just has a magnetic strip to swipe. I just want to make sure I have the right card before I head in to bp

        • Mine has a barcode at the back (it starts with 9) but I don't know what the purpose of it is as in the two years I've been with Velocity, I've never used the barcode; it's always a swipe at BP

          • @kerfuffle: Thanks. I suppose bp swipes. And I’ll do online orders for other transactions.

  • Just noticed my recent ebay purchases crediting to my Flybuys acct which I must've set up. Does it mean no points to Velocity for this offer?. Otherwise I have to unlink and make another ebay purchase.

    • You can get points for the same purchase on both eBay and flybuys. If your purchase qualified for Velocity, you would receive an e-mail from the eStore

      • Thanks, no estore confirmations for last 2 purchases. Safest to unlink and buy something else.

        • Might take a few days to receive the e-mail. When did you make these purchases?

          • @kerfuffle: I made purchases on 20 and 27 Nov.

            • @anna10: You should have received an e-mail for the purchase on the 20th by now … You went through the eStore link and everything?

              • @kerfuffle: Yes, from V eStore both times very carefully. I've taken FBuys off now and will give it another go. Would be interested to hear if others have same issue.
                edit - have already transferred FBs to Velocity.

  • It seems onsport removed gift cards from their website. I couldn't find any now.

  • From Velocity : "For onsport.com.au purchases, Points will not display in your eStore Account. Please refer to your Velocity Account to view these transactions."

  • Anyone know the address for Velocity to allow cookies in chrome? I have QF saved, but not Velocity (Chrome / settings / advanced / cookies / add a site (?)

    • Just detect to allow cooking by default

  • I've got BP fuel and a flybuys transfer , points have been credited to my Velocity account. No record of the $2 bucket from Autobarn (should there be?) , or $10 Starlight donation on Velocity estore.
    Just received Virgin wines though paid some days ago. No record.

    Is everyone else the same?
    What number to call when the times comes to query this.

    Thanks for your ideas

  • Why are some worrying about the points crediting to the account before 8 Jan 2019? The terms say “you must earn“ so my reading is that you have to shop by 8 Jan and still be eligible. Have I missed something?

    • Sometimes the t&c aren't written well and interpreted differently. Also can change at any time

      • +1

        Thanks. Also if they didn't work for some reason, then it will be too late to do another qualifiying action. Hard work these things sometimes!

  • None of my e-store purchases are getting logged.
    Bought using the eBay link on tbevelocoth E store and made a donation to starlight through the velocity E store…..
    Nothing is getting logged at all.

    Anyone else having same issue?

    • +1

      How long ago did you do those purchases? Usually get a qualifying e-mail within a few days. My DJs ones come the next business day after I've made the qualifying purchase

    • I'm also getting worried like you.

      But under FAQ:

      *iTunes transactions will not appear as ‘Pending’ in 1 working day, iTunes transactions will appear only once approved and this will be around 14 working days from your transaction date. For onsport.com.au, Points will not display in your eStore Account. Please refer to your Velocity Account to view these transactions. For these retailers, you will be reminded before shopping to add your Velocity membership number at check-out to earn your Points. Please refer to your Velocity Account Page to view these transactions. Ebay purchases in some circumstances may take 7-10 business days to appear as ‘Pending’.

      I'm going to wait for my eBay transaction to appear, I made it 5 days ago, so will wait before contacting them.

      • Yeah, I'll wait a couple more days….
        Ordered on eBay from 22/11.

        Starlight donation on the 27th.

        Would have thought been lodged by now??

    • I spoke to someone on the phone at Velocity who said donations won't count towards the promotion but he didn't put that in writing so i'm not sure how true it is. I made a donation on around the 18th i think and didn't see any email. I made another purchase on the 25th after I was told donations won't count, and just received my notification email now 5 days later. Still nothing for Starlight donation.

  • +1

    Doesn't look like you can link your Flybys to a Velocity card for anyone aged under 16.

  • Wife lost her velocity card to use at BP, can she get a temp card from BP and link it to her account to also count for this promo?

    • Just ask for a replacement. Should arrive in a week or two, and you have another six weeks to make the purchase.

    • Yes you can get a temp card. Our velocity cards are so old they won't scan at BP. So I have ordered new ones, and in the mean time have just used the temp BP cards, bought 1 Litre of petrol, and have linked those, and have already received the points, so it works fine.

  • I bought stuff at BP and autobarn on Monday, neither of points credited to my velocity yet, anyone know how long it will take for BP and autobarn gets credited.

    • BP is usually the day after. I filled up on Tuesday and got the points on Wednesday

      • Then I think I need buy something else.

    • BP is almost instantly….

  • +1

    Just spoke to an Autobarn employee at Virginia who showed me that my Velocity details had come across and were on the reciept but said that she didn't think i would get the points until she had 'completed' the order in the system as i had now completed my click and collect order. Perhaps this is what is holding things up for some of you who aren't intending on picking up your orders. Maybe you could call and check your details are in the system and just say you aren't picking the order up but can they complete your order?

    • I picked up my Autobarn order with the receipt showing my Velocity membership number. That was almost 10 days ago and nothing is showing so far.

      BP, Flybuys and Wilson parking points appeared immediately (maximum wait was 72 hours) but everything else is taking forever now.

    • I went to autobarn and directly bought ftom there and used my card, nothing has been credit since Monday.

  • I haven’t seen this posted here yet. From the autobahn website:

    It may take up to 30 days from the day of purchase for the points to be transferred to your Velocity account.

    So looks like you guys will be waiting a while.

  • Just completed a $2.99 purchase at autobarn (physical store), velocity card got scanned, but nothing related to velocity appears on the receipt. Is anyone in the same boat? Thank you.

    • +1

      I made my Autobarn purchase in store a couple of hours ago. Got my card swiped and got my receipt. The receipt mentioned how many Velocity Points I earned and that it may take up to 30 days for the points to show up. This now means I have made transactions with 5 partners. Woohoo!

      • +1

        Thank you for your post, confirms I got shafted and spent 2.99 for nothing at autobarn. Congrats on completing your challenge :-)

        • Return it and rebuy the item again.

          • @nightelves: That's the plan, but what a pita…

          • +1

            @nightelves: Went to the store to return the item and to repurchase. Salesperson said there will be no Velocity record on the receipt as machine hasn't been reading velocity cards for about a week…
            Got a refund instead.

            To save someone time and pain, the store you shouldn't bother with for now is Autobarn Moorabbin Vic.

  • +2

    1-Flybuys transfer with 25% bonus velocity points.
    2-Onsport delivery, with $10 Amex shop small cash back.
    3-Wilson parking $5 charge no show.
    4-E-store velocity starlight donation supporting a good cause.(eBay purchase never tracked)
    5-BP fuel purchase on 3 x 30l purchase for 1600 bonus points.

    Looks like 10,000 velocity points earned on this deal…..

    • 25% bonus Flybuys?

      • Typo. Should have read 15%.
        Didn't spot that before posting….
        Would have been nice, but alas, just the 15% bonus

  • +1
    1. Flybuys transferred with 15% bonus. Points received.
    2. BP purchased $1.5 lollipop. Points received.
    3. Several eBay transactions in estore. They are in pending status from 21 Nov.
    4. Autobarn purchased $1.49 microfibre pad. Velocity number shows on paper receipt. Nothing online yet.
    5. Planning to book $3 Wilson Park with no show.
    • Great job. Where's your $3 parking? I stuffed up on an actual park I used with Wilson as my name didn't match exactly and I didn't get any points credited

      • +1

        Adelaide and Perth.

      • +1

        Brisbane City

        • oops, after I used the online book a bay, I cannot find a price like casual rate…

      • Is there any way to get the points credited? I had the same problem.

      • +5

        $3 for 30 minutes at Cross St Car Park in Double Bay

    • Where can we see 'pending' status? I did starlight and Autobarn transactions but nothing happened anywhere except that my credit cards were charged.

  • +3

    I must admit that the process has been so frustrating so far I think I'll stick with cashrewards and Qantas mall past this promotion!
    Ebay purchases don't seem to track, Starlight donation just froze after payment, Autobarn transactions don't show anywhere and no velocity details show on my email receipts, Wilson carpark hasn't posted for over a month. The only thing that seems to work well is BP!
    Great promotion to highlight how poorly those partnerships work…

    Just got an email from Velocity you can now earn 2000 Velocity points for signing up to Sendle.

    • +1

      With Sendle, you can earn Velocity Frequent Flyer Points just by sending parcels! Velocity members who send their first parcel with Sendle between 4th and 31st December 2018 will earn an additional 2,000 bonus Points.

      Sign up, link your Velocity membership number to your Standard or Premium account, and send a parcel.

      Bonus Points are in addition to the base rate of 1 Velocity Point per $1 spent on parcel delivery and will be credited to your account within 21 days.

      Would the "standard account" be called "easy plan" in sendle?

    • Just for signing up ?

      • +1

        "send their first parcel with Sendle between 4th and 31st December 2018"
