    • Probably targeted?

    • Me too, here's the link: https://try.sendle.com/partners/velocity-offer
      Note that there is nothing about it being targetted, so I don't think it is.
      So I think sending a 500 gram parcel to someone (easiest time of the year to do that now for Christmas) seems like a decent way to go, as you spend $7.95 (I'm assuming for most people that the best use would be to send it to someone you won't see at Christmas, hence most likely not in the same city), for which you get to cross off 1 of the 5 partner transactions + earn 2000 bonus points (worth around $24). Of course you could send something to someone you'd see anyway, but for the extra $1.15, you might as well use it to do something more useful.

    I used Sendle to return a purchased item back to Amazon. As a prime member I would expect Amazon will pay back the shipping cost, but still be getting the Velocity points.

  • Ok well, 2000 points worth at least $20. So sign up and send parcel to ownself, can still make $14-15 worth of points, and 1 participating retailed for this promotion

    • I thought 2000 points worth $10 if you redeem in Coles, am I missing something.

      • Typically yes, but if you sell points at 1c per point through the ozbargain forums/other places this is the general going rate

      • You’re confusing Flybuys Points for Velocity Points

        2000 flybuys = $10 to spend at Coles.
        2000 flybuys = 870 Velocity Points (when no bonus is offered)

        19500 Velocity Points also equals $100 to spend at Coles. (Not Recommended!)

          Thanks for claridication, so I will send a Christmas parcel to my boss. If boss is happy,may get a pay rise after that.

  • Has anyone with a No Show for Wilson Parking been credited with Velocity points?

    • +4

      yes, points were credited within 24 hours after my no show

      • thank you!

    • +1

      yes

  • whats something cheap off the velocity e store people are buying.. are u paying with points only or cash?

    • something from ebay

      • be mindful that many people (myself included) have not yet received a tracking notification email from velocity, after clicking thru the estore and buying something from ebay. Been 7 days and counting for me.

        Even the Starlight donation has been reported to be unreliable. Anyone care to confirm if they've received velocity notification and/or points for making a donation?

        • No email from starlight with the receipt.
          No email from velocity estore about starlight.

          Etsy tracked quickly though (pending)

      • sorry to sound daft.. but u buy something off ebay.. however accessing ebay via the velocity E.store.. and this should qualify?

  • Is the offer still running or is it targeted? I can't find it at https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers… ?

  • An update regarding eStore tracking.

    I did 2 eBay purchases at the same time using 2 Velocity accounts on 2 separate PCs using the same browser settings, the results were:

    Account 1 was tracked 5 days later, however account 2 was tracked 9 days after the transaction. No idea why they didn’t track at the same time.

    Now, I’m waiting for Autobarn points.

  • Also still waiting for Autobarn points

  • So Autobarn is completely missing. Not sure if I've seen a single report of online autobarn purchased being credited.

    My starlight donation was tracked, however hasn't been shown on the account as point yet and is awaiting confirmation from starlight foundation ( I think) Eitherway not showing up..

    Quite annoying.

  • Done 5 over about 10 days, just playing the waiting game now. Flybuys and BP showed up the next day. Nothing from Autobarn, E-store, Wilson…going on about 5-6 days. Guessing points are credited some time after 8 Jan regardless of if you've done the maximum?

    • Nothing from Autobarn, E-store, Wilson…going on about 5-6 days

      Wilson Parking shouldn’t take that long; you should have gotten the points by now if you stayed on the weekend. I parked in the city on Sunday which was booked through Book A Bay and got the points credited the next day.

      • My first couple of bookings with Wilson took ages to come thru but both eventually did. I did park a third time (used them instead of my normal park for work so it wasn't an additional expense per se) and it came thru the next day so no idea what happened with the first couple of bookings.

    • Im in the same boat, nothing from Wilson, E-Store, Autobarn and been over a week now.

    1. Starlight, From an email a day or so after donation via estore: "Our retailer, Starlight Children’s Foundation, has informed us that you made a transaction with them on 22 Nov 2018. As a result you have Velocity Points pending. So that should be OK.

    Once verified by Starlight Children’s Foundation, your Points will be approved and loaded to your Velocity Account within 30 days of purchase."

    1. No autobarn anything.

    2. Question - did anyone else buy Virgin wine - I've recieved the order over a week ago but no mention on Velocity account.

    Has anyone asked Velocity , especially re Autobarn?

    Did get email yesterday, qualified for bonus points for 3 x 30L = 1600. Said they will be credited by 25 January. So there are delays on these things.

  • Give you guys an update on mine:
    BP - confirmed
    E-Store - Pending
    Autobahn - Not confirmed
    Flybuys - Confirmed
    Wilson Parking - Confirmed

    • How are you confirming?? By what points are credited to your velocity transactions ??

      So far my flybuys transfer hit and wilson parking. No mention from my estore donation nor autobahn $1.99 bucket :(

      Yet to fill up at bp. Probably tonight omw home.

      • +1

        Confirmed means the relevant transaction has shown up in my velocity account activity history. Pending means it’s marked as pending when logged into the e-store in the purchase history section.

  • I bought something from ebay but it doesnt seem to have come through. Where can I check if that has come through?

    EDIT: Nevermind, its showing up in estore (I was looking at velocity portal instead)

  • I have my wife and son set up so that their points earnt are popped into my account. I have activated the offer on all 3 memberships. With the family pooling in place do you think we will receive the bonus for each member of each member satisfies the criteriA? Or do I need to remove the family pooling first and then attempt to shop at the 5 partners with each velocity number. I checked the terms and conditions and there is no mention of what I am referring to but with family pooling the child in the pooling relationship does not really end up having any points assigned to their account

    • +1

      not sure, worth a call to ask, but no harm in trying!
      my second is born in a few days so i'll madly be creating a velocity account lol

      • What, really?! Is there a minimum age for joining velocity? Would this deal work for minors?

        • two members 18 years or over and up to four members less than 18 years of age can be in your family pool

          • @Hellochris: Ok that's good to know, Do you know if minors get offers too?

            • @imissbeans: I haven't got any for my son's account via email, but I've been able to apply manually for the offers

  • +1

    Anyone have their Autobarn points credited yet? Regardless the membership number on the receipt or not. I made purchase around two weeks ago. No membership number on receipt and not on Velocity account either.

    • Membership number on receipt but not appearing on Velocity account.

    • I still don't know and has been a week since i collected and confirmed details were on reciept etc.

    • +1

      I purchased from Autobarn a few months back and the points were credited at the end of the month which was 3 weeks later..

  • +1

    Went to pick up my sand paper on the weekend. Person working there knew what "we" are doing. They told me they thought it was a case of people using stolen credit cards to test for small purchases.

    The odd thing was, when I picked up my order, he said they have cancelled it, so he had to retype it in. When he gave me the receipt, it had someones elses Name, but the velocity number was definitely mine. Could it be that these people not caring what the "name" is and just thinking putting the number is sufficient?

    • +3

      Not sure for other partners but for Skybus the points will be awarded only if the name on the ticket is the owner of the linked Velocity card.

      • Thats what I thought so too. I should have queried him.

    • When you pay autobarn online, you need to enter name, surname, number exactly as appear on card . They give a diagram of where on card each field appears. Having said that, the velocity number was not on my confirmation or invoice. Only recently ordered, so not credited to account yet

      • Yes when I ordered/paid for my sandpaper, I did put my full name and velocity number. I just find it odd, the name on the order is totally someone else, but the velocity (which he entered manually) is mine. My velocity number is on my receipt when I picked it up.

  • Looks like the FF 15% bonus velocity points transfer has ended. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

    • It ended yesterday

      • Thanks. Strange that Velocity FF told me 30 Nov 2018.

        • I got an e-mail saying it got extended; not that it helps you right now

  • my wilson parking is 2 weeks ago and its not showing up

    • Dumb question, but you did enter your Velocity number when you did your booking, right? (I presume you actually didn't use the parking.)

      • I actualy parked.
        And i checked that my card was linked to the account.

        Might double check

        • +1

          In the PDF that came with your e-mail, did it say Name: Velocity Frequent Flyer under Partner Programs? If it did and you still haven't gotten the points, chase it up. I've been parking with Wilson for yonks and it doesn't take that long to be credited with Velocity points

          • @kerfuffle: Good find

            it says :PARTNER PROGRAM(S)
            Name: Velocity Frequent Flyer

            but my number isnt mentoned

            is this correct?

            • @Samsungnote10: Yeah; I have the same thing. I was looking at the booking I made on November 29 for December 2; points were credited on the 3rd

    • Mine is the same. Just checked a previous booking from a few months before the promo and it was credited the next day so not sure what's going on.
      The Wilson site says 28 days for book a bays and 35 for WilsonOne so it may take a while. I'd imagine like Autobarn they're getting smashed with authorizing points over this promo.

  • Did $3.00 half hour car park no show. 14 points in my account within 30 Hours.

    • Which car park and time? I'm struggling to find a $3 park. The lowest I've found so far is $5

  • +11

    NSW, 33 cross st, choose a half hour block of time

    • Thank you soooo much. I spent ages trying to find one!

    • Thanks for sharing :)

    • Thanks for that, i've just made my booking. As a side note for others, it does say from $5 but actually charges you $3 when selecting this option.

  • Points from Sendle appears on my Velocity ten days after the transaction. So, 4 confirmed, one more to go from e-Store.

  • I made a donation via flybuys a week or so ago to the Cancer Council, haven't seen anything.

    Anyone else got points via this way?

    • +2

      If the transaction had nothing to do with Velocity, then it won't count. Only transferring Flybuys Points to Velocity Points counts as a transaction with Flybuys for this offer.
      "you must earn Velocity Points" is the key phrase for this offer.

      • I moved my points the day before signing up for this promo, and don't have enough yet to do it again (hence why I could only do the donation.) Talk about bad timing!

  • According the T&C "Purchases made from multiple retailers within the Velocity eStore will only be counted as one"
    Can't see anything about Starlight donation.

    • Are you saying it’s not a retailer? Or have I missed your point?

      • It probably means that you can only buy from one store on eStore and any other purchases will not qualify.
        Someone mentioned that Starlight foundation donations may not qualify as purchase?

        • Damn, I was replying on that as my 5th store (starlight donation)

          • @Spending2Much: I would think it’s fine but I just did a cheap eBay purchase. Not credited to velocity yet though

            • @grasstown: I've never had a purchase logged on velocity before…I've tried many times.
              Particularly for this promotion too.
              Eventually I did the starlight donation.

              I find the qantas E store doesn't have the same issue, now that theres no cash rewards/cash back for eBay.

              • @Spending2Much:

                I've never had a purchase logged on velocity before…I've tried many times.

                You need to make sure all your purchasing is done in the one tab that you opened through Velocity eStore. Icognito mode might help as well. All my ones get logged; only Freedom didn’t.

                Some examples I have of successful logging are Myer, DJs, Book Deplsitory, Clinique, Sony and The Good Guys

                • @kerfuffle: I should have edited that to read…
                  'none of my eBay purchases' have logged.

                • @kerfuffle: Any reason why you'd go through velocity E store for purchasing rather than cash rewards/shop back etc

                  In particular, the good guys etc

  • +2

    My transactions have all been credited, except eBay which is pending in the eStore.

    Activity date Process date Description Velocity Points
    5 Dec 18 6 Dec 18 Wilson Parking Velocity Base Points +23
    22 Nov 18 13 Dec 18 Autobarn Base Points +4
    21 Nov 18 22 Nov 18 BP Unleaded 91 Base Points +8
    21 Nov 18 21 Nov 18 Flybuys 15% Bonus Points November 2018 +131
    21 Nov 18 21 Nov 18 Points received from flybuys +870

    I seem to be the first with Autobarn showing up. My transaction was in store with my card scanned. I didn't get a receipt, so I don't know if the number was on it.

    • I got my Autobarn too yesterday! Just waiting on E store now

      • Yeah me too - just eStore to go. Got a few pending in there.

        • Have two Wilson transactions showing under my Wilson account but not Velocity. Hoping they arrive soon.

    • My E store purchase is still pending….
      Don't know how long it takes to clear from the E store to the velocity account…..

  • So here is how I'm tracking:

    Flybuys transfer 870 points - showing in account
    Wilson parking (multiple parks) - showing in account
    BP (multiple purchases) - showing account
    Ebay (multiple purchases - not showing in account, but have received tracking emails
    Sendle (signed up with bonus and send a parcel) - not showing in account, haven't received tracking email (unsure if it even goes out as its not an estore)

    So i think i've done my dash with 5 transactions!

  • To those that booked Wilson parking (and NOT attend) and managed to get it showing in their Velocity account, did you have a Status of *** CONFIRMED *** in your Wilson My Account or was it something else?

    I'm in VIC and I selected SA parking.

    I haven't had mine showing in Velocity account yet. Not sure if it needs to be COMPLETED, FINALISED or the likes if there is such a thing?

    Thanks in advance!

    • +1

      I no longer remember my Wilson account login, though points in Velocity already. I am in QLD and booked "90 Victoria Parade" $4.5 parking using stranger's plate.

  • Has anyone complained or enquired with Virgin about points not showing up? Any luck?

    I've made several transactions (the first was Autobarn on 21 Nov, collected 24 Nov) but none have yet been credited to my Velocity account! grrrr

    • In terms of the bonus you won’t see that until Feb/March.

      • Not the bonus points, just the normal points for spending with a non-airline partner. A friend has made several transactions and they've showed up for him

        • The points credited are delayed by the other party, not Virgin/Velocity. If you have a look on the Velocity webpage, it shows you how to chase up missing points with partners and it always goes to the partner's webpage. Most say they take 3-4 weeks to be approved though so may need to wait a little longer.

          • @whitelie: Contacted Virgin and they said to email claims (incl supporting documents ie receipts/tax invoices) to [colour of your Velocity membership level ie. platinum/gold/silver/red] @velocityfrequentflyer.com

            • @k3nigma: Have you received your points yet? My Autobarn transaction was credited yesterday after purchasing on the 29th of Nov.

              • @whitelie: This whole promotion is a farce and a scam and I can only blame myself for participating. Clearly Virgin's systems weren't operationally capable to make it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Given the time I've spent calling and emailing Virgin and the partners for missing points (not to mention the money), the ROI has definitely not been worthwhile - and there's no guarantee all my purchases will be recognised and credited with points!

                So anyway, @whitelie, Autobarn purchase on 21 November still has not come through.

    • +6

      Autobarn told me today there is no points for spend under $5! He was an animal though. He made a big drama out of my click and collect order for $2 like I had broken all the laws of trade and commerce on earth.

      I left the shop feeling guilty and gave them a 1 star review :)

      • +3

        I spent $1.99 in store and received 4 points
