      • Ordered online for click&collect on 30 November 2018, still no points received.

  • Did anyone buy from Autobahn, not pick up, and still got the points?

    • +1

      Yes on one of our accounts but not the other one

      • Dates of purchases? Thanks!

  • No skybus , no autobarn here after 20 days.

    I’m hopeful that autobarn will show up and i have the receipts showing the velocity number however i have nothing for skybus and seeing people getting skybus after 1 day i think $11 paid for the gold cost shuttle went down the drain!

    • No autobarn after 40 days here

    • Did you enter your velocity number on skybus booking page ?

      • Yes

    • Skybus is usually a couple days delay for me.

      As for Autobarn, I got it after 3 weeks.

      • Gold Coast or Melbourne?

        • Melbourne. Sorry, missed your note about Gold Coast. You could try contacting Velocity support to see if they can see it on their end?

          • @rith: Thanks. Spent another $17.50 (Melb) and got the points the next day. Who would've thought I'd spent $28.50 for Skybus tickets that I won't use!

            • @Sharp: I'm sure you can find someone who has a use for it so it doesn't go to waste. Try the forums maybe?

  • I sent a parcel on 21st Dec, and payment gone through on 24th Dec. I still can't see points credited on my velocity account, just wondering where can I see pending trasactions.

    • I booked sendle on 19th and points only came through today

      • looks like im sweet out of luck
        I booked on the 31st, nad it was a throw away booking too since all my other ones arent being credited

        • +1

          Don’t worry I agree with this poster https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/6792518/redir

          • @grasstown: I hope you are right,
            as I have done 6 of them, so far only 1 has been credited

            here is mine

            Flybuys done today, not credited
            wilson parking, late Nov, not credited (have rebooked another one a few days ago)
            sendle , last week(throw away booking)not credited
            Autobarn, 2 weeeks ago, not credited
            velocity estore , 1 month ago, not credited

            BP, 2 weeks ago, credited

    • GOt my sendle credited on 1st,Jan.
      Now totally got 5

  • My starlight donation has been showing as pending for weeks now, so I bought a small purchase on iTunes through velocity and that came through in a couple of days.
    So all 5 done. Not sure what's up with Starlight.
    Autobarn 10th Dec (came through 21st). This was done in-store, with velocity # showing on the receipt. I'm glad it came through as I lost the receipt ;)
    iTunes 29th Dec (came through 2nd Jan)

    The rest came through pretty much instantly (BP, Wilsons, flybuy transfer).

  • +1

    Managed to get 5 of the family’s accounts over the line with 5 transactions each….. Wasted about $30 on parking and Booktopia (estore) orders that I didn’t use….oh……and 5 buckets…… (bought in-store and not left in the newly built click and collect autobarn warehouse filled to the roof with buckets)

  • Still waiting for Sendle - booked for a delivery on 31st Dec and hoping to see it next Monday on my account.

  • So we have to wait up to 12 weeks after Jan 8th for the bonus to be applied. Kinda crazy it takes this long.

    • Stops people from buying something, receiving points, then refunding. Especially with the estore as some have a 3 month window e.g. Groupon

  • Got 4 confirmed (Wilson, Starlight, Flybuys & BP) and I've booked a parcel with Sendle for today.

    Let's hope it works :)

    • +1

      I believe you earn the sendle points when sendle send the invoice to you, which they do weekly

      • Thanks for this. If this is the case I think i'll book a Skybus ticket.

  • +1

    Just booked my Skybus ticket (fifth partner) as I needed it to work on April 6 and they have a 3-month expiry; hope this squeezes in so I can get the 10K points!

  • +1

    Bloody Autobahn taking its time to show up!

  • +1

    Simply visit your My Velocity dashboard, scroll down and activate the offer and earn with 3 or more participating partners below by 8 January 2019

    If you check your Autobarn receipt, it has this words:
    You have earned x points.

    So yes you earn the points on the day of shopping. It's just take some time to be credit into your velocity account.
    It is well meet the requirment for the offer.

    • I spoke too soon. Autobahn just showed up. Exactly 3 weeks after transaction.

      Interestingly only my in store purchase showed up. My online order made 5 weeks ago still hasn’t shown up despite providing my Velocity number and name upon ordering.

      • +2

        Same as mine. When I went to pickup $2 online order, the clerk was very unhappy about the whole thing so I didn't trust him.

        I went straight to another ship and bought some batteries. So far, I got the points for the second shop only (transaction: 3 weeks after the online order).

  • I ordered online from autobarn back in November and entered my velocity number at checkout. There was nothing about velocity on my receipt and i haven't got any points credited yet.

    I got 4 other transactions credited, so should at least get 5k velocity points. I'm not going to waste money using Sendle or Skybus to get the 5th, since there's still a chance that they won't work either.

  • So with iTunes purchases, are they pretty solid in terms of tracking? It goes from the estore to a redirect page where you then need to OK to launch iTunes which is a bit different from purchasing in a browser where you can see your tracking string in the URL.

    • +1

      Yep. Can confirm as I’ve done it before

    • eStore transactions are very slow to track and credited from my experience. I haven't seen the transaction made on eBay for a week.
      Clean browser, clean cache/cookie. no adblock. Made 3 different transactions on eBay. No transaction in pending at all after a week.

      • That's eBay though; they were asking about iTunes

      • eBay manages its own affiliate network. Sometimes gliches happen, you might not get points back from Velocity. Just do more tranctions with other stores to be sure.

        I used for Kogan & David Jones and transactions were reported back in 2 business days.

  • +2

    just found this for 49 cents if it helps anyone.

    http://www.onsport.com.au/store/products/accessories/speeder…

    Edit: Scrap that, just realized there is no click and collect and shipping is $9

    • That’s still an excellent option. I have done my spends but would have done that instead of my auto barn shop.

  • Hey all, do the transactions have to show up in your Velocity account to get the bonus points? T&Cs aren't super clear. In other words, can I complete all my transactions with eligible partners today and still get the bonus points, even though it might take a while for the transactions to come up on my Velocity account?

    • Yes it’s the transactation date which matters. Buy before midnight you’ll be right.

  • used estore to purchase something from itunes on the 4th Jan…just got the following in an email from the estore:

    Your purchase from iTunes Australia on 4 Jan 2019 has now been approved and we’re pleased to let you know that 18 Velocity Points will be credited to your Velocity Account within 24 hours.

    Seems pretty fast

    jc

  • is tonight the last day or can i make a transaction tomorrow?

  • +1

    Pumped some petrol at BP earlier this evening thinking I can scan my digital card but was told that I needed to swipe the physical card (horror!). Cashier couldn't manually input member number either. Funny in today's digital age that a physical card is still needed?

    My own fault though for procrastinating on this offer…have to complete another 3 more tonight!

    • +1

      this might be too late now, But what should have done is, asked him to scan it on a tempory card and then add it to your account

      • +1

        Yeah didn't know about the temporary card until I got home and read the comments in this post. Pumped another $3 worth of petrol today to seal the deal!

        Also went to auto barn to buy something cheap (bucket), but found a key holder reduced to $1! Store manager immediately asked if I were doing it for the bonus points as well and said they sold tons of buckets- we both had a chuckle. Super friendly staff!

  • Still ok to purchase today from Autobarn?

  • Thanks all, managed to secure my 5 as of today.

    3 Jan 19 4 Jan 19 Skybus Single Fare +100
    3 Jan 19 3 Jan 19 Points received from flybuys +870
    1 Jan 19 2 Jan 19 BP Coffee Base Points +10
    30 Dec 18 8 Jan 19 Sendle Acquisition Bonus. +2,000(0 + 2,000 Bonus)
    30 Dec 18 8 Jan 19 Sendle Velocity Points +13
    28 Dec 18 29 Dec 18 Wilson Parking Velocity Base Points. +9

    Also did an ebay estore purchase (15/12/18) but wanted to be safe in case wouldn’t count as not showing on account.

    • If you had transferred pts to flybuys on 29th Dec (or in earlier promo period), you could have got 131 VFF pts more.

      • Ya, i missed that 1

  • The points from yesterday's Skybus purchase are now allocated to my account!

    I had eStore, flybuys, BP, Wilson Parking and Skybus as my five partners.

  • Senile came through for me today plus 2000 bonus points.

    • Sendle lol

      • when did you do yours?
        mine was 31st dec, still not shown up

        • Booked on 28th Dec. Parcel picked up on 31st and delivered 2nd Jan.

  • whoa…just read that I had to activate this. Almost missed that part!

    • +1

      I thought only transactions made after you activated were counted?

      • Hope not…Oh well. Donated to charity, bought some fuses, got cheap fuel and transferred some flybuy points. Not the end of the world if it dont work out.

        • -1

          I think it does not matter. Bonus points are credited after these.

  • When can we see 10000 get credited

  • I currently have 3 transactions showing (BP, Willson & Sendle), but my E-Store (Groupon) and Autobarn (Instore) purchases are nowhere to be seen. I suppose I’ll get 2000 points at least.

    • +1

      Your Groupon should at least show as pending at the estore under transactions

      https://estore.velocityfrequentflyer.com

      • Ahh ok, just looked and I have two transactions in December and both are pending. Starlight foundation & Boozbud via Groupon, have used the boozbud voucher.

    • I advise use your Groupon voucher ASAP. I got 2 vouchers refunded by Groupon recently due to merchants' decision. If that happens to your voucher, you may not get 10k pts.

  • Got the Velocity estore, BP, Sendle and Wilson Parking points added. Just awaiting Autobarn points from my instore purchase…

  • Did anyone get their Vigin Wines points? It’s the only transaction that doesn’t seem to show up for me in the velocity app.

  • All of mine have come through except Wilson parking. How long does it usually take for it to be credited? I booked on around Dec 20 for Boxing Day.

    • Usually a day or two after you 'park'; I think something's gone wrong with yours

  • +1

    For autobarn, I ordered online and never got points. I emailed them last week with my order number and velocity number, and they said it must be a system error, and have now manually applied the points. Just got the points into my velocity account today, backdated to my order date. SUCCESS! I should get 10k bonus points now.

  • Since my last post on Sunday the Autobarn points have been added to my Velocity account. Today I got an email notification telling me that my groupon purchase has been approved, points aren’t showing yet but the email said it can take 24hrs. So I should have my 5 transactions.

  • Anyone else have an issue with Onsport? My transaction was on December 26 but the points came up on Velocity as having both an activity and credit date of Jan 17.

    • :(

      • I am having issue with both groupon and the charity donation.

        • Groupon took 37 days to get approved and another 24 hours to appear in my account.

    • There were 2 others on Australian frequent flyer thread.
      I don't think there is much you can do. It doesn't say that it has to be credited for your purchase date and only that you will get points within 30 days.

    • Hi Mike and others having issue with Onsport crediting an incorrect activity date.

      I also had this issue. Purchase made on Jan 8th (cutting it fine!), credited as activity date of 10th.

      I contacted Onsport. From their response (below) it looks like we should not be concerned and our transaction will count towards the 10,000 bonus points. I’m waiting with bated breath to see the the points be awarded, however!

      “You will receive the full reward amount, Velocity are just going through the backlog over the Christmas, New Year period.

      It will go from the date you placed your order.”

      Hope this helps alleviate some concerns!

  • I contacted/emailed Autobarns online team (https://www.autobarn.com.au/contacts) because I bought something at Autobarns instore and points didn't show up on the Velocity account for over 4 weeks. Processed in late Jan, but activity date was in December.

    It's all good now! Got my 5 (finally)!! Here comes 10k points :)

    -Autobarn
    -Wilson Parking
    -BP
    -FlyBuys
    -Estore

  • -3

    has anyone gotten their bonus points yet?

    • They said it could take up to twelve weeks after January 8

      • +7

        Always has to be one that brings members back to look at thread under false pretences. I should wait until there are 20 new posts to the thread and I will know points have posted…..

  • Uh oh. My onsport points finally credited but with an activity date of 12Jan and not 8Dec. This is going to cause a problem isn't it..

    • +1

      Yeah, it probably will be. You probably contact Onsport to rectify.

  • +1

    I have a feeling this whole allocation of the bonus points is going to be a big mess with people not receiving the amount of points they are eligible for - especially if activity dates are not being assigned correctly.

    • +1

      I think you might be right. I suspect (hope I'm wrong) there will be lots of disagreements and points not being credited. I think 12 weeks takes us to the first week of April.

      • Trying to get missing Etihad Points was like going to hell and back I can’t even imagine trying to chase up Estore/bonus not crediting correctly dramas.

        The whole contact centre/cust relations for Velocity is based in Manila.

  • Does anyone have an email address for the velocity estore?

    • You contact them via your Velocity account

      If none of the above applies and you would like further help, please contact us via ‘eStore Claim Missing Points’ within your Velocity Account Page located on the credentials drop-down

      • Yeah I have submitted 4 of these queries and havem't heard a thing back from them so hoping to get an email address so I can email them

        • Don't think an email address exists. Unless you e-mail your general loyalty program e.g. [email protected]

  • -1

    has anyone gotten the 10,000 bonus points credited yet? or is this likely to only come in march? usually they quote "Up to xx weeks" but most providers (cc companies etc) are usually faster?

    • +1

      Did you read the previous comments? No one's due any points until April. If anyone got their points, they would have told us already …

    • +8

      God damn it, saw 2 new comments and thought yeah!! Don’t post unless you see points in your account….please!!

  • -8

    still waiting on my points!

  • +6

    FYI 10k Points hit my account today!

    Based on the following:

    Wilson Parking
    E-Store (Starlight Children’s Foundation)
    Flybuys Transfer
