    How do they determine how many you get ?

    • Taegukgi on 18/01/2021 - 11:22
      +42

      It is all determined by your Ozbargain K:D average.

    • inherentchoice on 18/01/2021 - 11:24

      Velocity will allocate an even distribution of the 20 Million Points between Velocity members who have successfully participated in the Promotion. There is a limit of one share per Velocity member. No part Points will be awarded. If the number of Points awarded is a decimal, the Points awarded will be rounded up to the next whole number.

          Game theory :) If I didn't post it, you wouldn't have the chance, so you'd potentially get 0. But by posting, you have a chance and > 0. So on basis of you not knowing about it, it's better for you for me to post it.

          • jv on 18/01/2021 - 11:50

            @beatthatflight:

            If I didn't post it, you wouldn't have the chance, so you'd potentially get 0.

            But you could have got 20,000,000 !!!

    Nice, thank you! New C-suite members announced today, will be interesting to see how they hold up in the coming months.

  • kerfuffle on 18/01/2021 - 11:23

    So I guess we'll all be getting roughly 170 points if the 10 million points giveaway was anything to go by …

    • inherentchoice on 18/01/2021 - 11:29

      $1.36 value if 1 point = $0.008

      Deliberating whether I should be bribed to get the app at this price.

      • nightelves on 18/01/2021 - 13:04
        +3

        I could be bribed for less points than that.

      • daydream on 23/01/2021 - 19:20

        What can we buy with that? ;-)

    • donga100 on 19/01/2021 - 17:07

      That was back when people were still flying places and collecting Velocity points.

  • ilovemangoes on 18/01/2021 - 11:32

    Done. Looking forward to getting my 10 points about a month from now.

  • sheikyerbouti on 18/01/2021 - 11:49

    Excellent! Last time I think we got like 127 points each or something. Woo.

  • magster on 18/01/2021 - 11:55
    +3

    Thanks OP! This is great to extend the life of my points. I was worried about the expiry of my points as haven’t used Velocity for a while.

    • serpserpserp on 18/01/2021 - 12:24

      You really should cash them in before they get devalued again.

      • magster on 18/01/2021 - 12:49

        I thought about this as we have a few thousand dollars worths of points from our home loan. But cashing out in gift cards seems such poor way of using the points. Really not sure what to do!

        • serpserpserp on 18/01/2021 - 14:08

          Free money is not poor value! I only ever accumulate QFF or Velocity points for free, so I guess my view is a little different to others that have paid fees and what not to get the points.

      • sheepdog on 18/01/2021 - 13:02
        +3

        When did they get devalued? Reward flights seem to be the same price as prior to Covid or is it the dollar to points value?

    • harukinights on 18/01/2021 - 12:49

      Can anyone confirm this would be the case?

      i also am about 12 months into the period of earning 'no points' so would be great if getting 100 odd points as part of this reset the clock

      • sydboy007 on 18/01/2021 - 13:07

        transfer from flybuys to velocity would do the trick too.

  • zzyss on 18/01/2021 - 11:57

    Not working for me? I'm getting "This offer is not available in the app"…

    • LeslieT on 18/01/2021 - 12:00

      same, I tried logging out and logging in again and still doesn't work, guess it must be Ozbargained atm.

      • ibuy on 18/01/2021 - 13:30

        Keep trying. It took a few goes. System must be having a coronary from all the ozbargainer registrations!

        To participate in the Promotion, you must be a Velocity member, 18 years or older

    • Jaymac on 18/01/2021 - 17:56

      I had this issue to. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and logged in, the offer was there and was able to be activated without issue.

      1. Close app
      2. Go to app settings and force stop
      3. In app settings: clear the cache + stored login.
      4. Update to latest version of the app if you haven't already.
      5. Launch app and login, there should be a full screen ad on the promo to greet you.
  • PeeDee on 18/01/2021 - 12:08

    Many CC promos are usually from Qantas. It's hard to find decent Velocity ones.

      Hard to offer a deal for something that was in administration.

      This one, very good deal if you are not holding or have not held AMEX card for the past 18 months.

      • nightelves on 18/01/2021 - 13:09

        Tempted by that and now that Air Canada has come on board could be very lucrative later on.

      • PeeDee on 18/01/2021 - 13:37

    Stop everyone. Don’t download the app. Allow me to test it out

  • Drakesy on 18/01/2021 - 12:30

    Happened last time, got something like 70 points out of it.

    • ontheroad on 18/01/2021 - 12:35

      • Donaldhump on 18/01/2021 - 13:36

        yep had it booked for october last year, who the hell would pay $1500 return other than a desperate local.

  • zzymurgy on 18/01/2021 - 12:37

    edit: Just saw that you have to be over 18 to claim the offer, thanks @muncan.

    Pretty stupid idea, kids fly too.

    • cheesecactus on 18/01/2021 - 12:54

      Probably due to it being a 'givaway' or 'promotion' and legislation prevents them from entering children.

      I'm sure they'd allow kids if they could.

    Hmm. Didn't work for me, an error popped up stating "Sorry this offer is not available in the app".

    • xabiso on 18/01/2021 - 13:28

      same for me.

    • Bobegnops on 18/01/2021 - 13:52

      Same, but clearing the app cache/data and logging in again worked fine.

      • xabiso on 18/01/2021 - 14:06

        this works - thanks!

      • smurfstah on 18/01/2021 - 14:28

        Thanks this fixed it for me too!

    • clover on 18/01/2021 - 14:10

      I uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Then it worked

    • zzyss on 18/01/2021 - 15:07
      +1

      Thanks that worked for me too.

      I get the feeling the error may be related to accounts for under 18s (e.g. if you're part of a family sharing group or something). Because it worked for me and the missus, but then when I logged in as my kid then I got the error again.

      • perthhunter on 18/01/2021 - 17:45
        +2

        Yes same error for my child.
        Then I found out the T&C says offer only for > 18 y.o.
        App's not smart enough to use a more specific error msg.

    • Orpheon on 18/01/2021 - 18:16

        Hopefully we'll get 182 points this time with the 20M giveaway.

  • Mike Okkerts on 18/01/2021 - 15:44

    A tiny step towards my 1 millon point target.

  • dreamykitten on 18/01/2021 - 15:47

    Not seeing the offer on iOS. Deleted and reinstalled the app too.

  • popsiee on 18/01/2021 - 16:20

    So value the pts at .5 cent = $100,000 total .
    Probably will get less than $2 assuming 50k+ members = waste of time for the effort `^ing around .

  • Orpheon on 18/01/2021 - 18:17

    For anyone else who can't get this offer to load on their Velocity App:

    1. Close app
    2. Go to app settings and force stop
    3. In app settings: clear the cache + stored login.
    4. Update to latest version of the app if you haven't already.

    Doesn't work for me on iOS - tried to logout / uninstall & install again - no dice :(

    • zzyss on 18/01/2021 - 20:20

      Does iOS have an equivalent of deleting app data without deleting the app? Sometimes reinstalling the app won't clear the app data, so you have to do that (first).

      • bauser99 on 18/01/2021 - 20:21

        Not that I know of… but when I delete the app I got a message informing all data will also be deleted.

        Perhaps the iOS app has not been updated yet?

    • CI on 19/01/2021 - 00:34

      Same boat. Let me know if you have any luck

  • Dinjay on 18/01/2021 - 20:04

      The Points will be credited to the Member’s Velocity account by 28 February 2021, however, Velocity reserves the right to extend this timeframe without notice.
