            @daanish: Good tip, thanks!

          • Poor Ass on 28/01/2023 - 22:05

            @daanish: Sounds good

            So after you create a new account and do the same lock… How often do they do another G09 sweep?

          • jv on 28/01/2023 - 22:20

            @daanish:

            My whole family had their VFF linked accounts G09'd

            😲

    • juddy90 on 02/02/2023 - 07:39

      Me and my entire family just got G09 errors! Must be banning accounts atm

      • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 08:54

        Ya I reckon

        Can you confirm if the ones that got banned had velocity cards linked? And they ones with no velocity cards did not get banned?

        • cwongtech on 02/02/2023 - 09:08
          +1

          And they ones with no velocity cards did not get banned

          This doesn't matter, they're not banning based on velocity card linkage.

          • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 10:42

            @cwongtech: reason I ask is because all the ones that I had with velocity got banned and the ones without did not and they all get used

            • cwongtech on 02/02/2023 - 11:14

              @Poor Ass: I can tell you for certain that I have many accounts banned without velocity account linkage

              If you care about your velocity points, just scan your card/barcode in-store

              • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 12:16

                @cwongtech: had an army collecting points for me now all gone

                • knobbs on 02/02/2023 - 13:57

                  @Poor Ass: Nice, how many points did you rack up?

                  • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 14:37

                    @knobbs: not too much maybe 3k-6k

                    • cwongtech on 02/02/2023 - 17:46
                      -1

                      @Poor Ass: so 3k - 6k points..

                      How many Points will I earn?
                      Earn 2 Points per litre on premium fuel^
                      Earn 1 Point per litre on regular fuel^
                      Earn 2 Points per $1 spent on eligible in-store purchases^

                      From https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers…

                      Points will be primarily it will be from fuel, so anywhere from 1500L~4500L of fuel refilled using fuel locks made by you @Poor Ass

                      Most people fill between 30L~ 50L these days so let's call it 40L per refill as an estimate
                      Meaning you carried out anywhere from 37 to 113 fuel locks to gain 3000~6000 velocity points, worth approximately $30~$60 at a 1cpp valuation

                      Was it worth your time?

        • juddy90 on 02/02/2023 - 12:43

          2 of the 10 had velocity linked but all got banned

          • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 12:50

            @juddy90: damn…. now we can't link those velocities

    I can confirm that fuel price locked were redeemable in store yesterday after the hiccups the day before.

      Yep worked for me today as well in inner east Melbourne CBD.

  • Darkii on 02/02/2023 - 08:40

    They're banning quickly now. Made new account, locked then redeemed the next day. Banned the day after

    • Poor Ass on 02/02/2023 - 08:55

      Ooo damn maybe they got a bot

    • CodeXD on 02/02/2023 - 08:59

      You need to find out the reason you got banned in the first place. If you are repeating it, then it will obvious be a red flag to them.

      It could be you are locking in multiple accounts with same IP address, or even device ID.

    • daanish on 02/02/2023 - 09:41

      Was this a second/third new account after having been previously G09'd?

  • NeoX on 02/02/2023 - 11:27

    Have we got clear reason why accounts got banned anyone know? I haven't got banned yet although I don't lock in often. Maybe once a week or 2 only.

    • jv on 02/02/2023 - 12:09

      Have we got clear reason why accounts got banned anyone know?

      For breaching their T&Cs.

      • sween64 on 02/02/2023 - 12:14

        Follow up question:

        Why do some accounts, that breach T&C’s, avoid a ban?

        • jv on 02/02/2023 - 12:15

          Because 7-11 don't have reason to believe they are breaching their T&Cs.

    • NeoX on 02/02/2023 - 12:20
      +2

      I'm thinking more along the line of finding the method that people had done that causes a detection from 7-11 that got you banned.

      Eg. People locking in interstate and attempting to use in another state straight away (physically impossible)
      people locking in many accounts at once within specific time period from the same IP address.

      Anyway would it be worth if I create an excel and people list of what they did and the reason they possibly got ban?

      I know it's not the solution but may it can be an ozb rule to "not do" if you don't want to be banned lol

      • jv on 02/02/2023 - 12:28

        it can be an ozb rule to "not do"

        Pretty easy to work out what not to do…

            @cwongtech: Been doing this for ages but finally all acc got banned in early May .

            If I only locked price locally (eg only NSW), is it safe ? I usually did 2 lock via 2 accounts at the same time but before always do a remote lock

  • slosh on 06/02/2023 - 10:57

    Is anyone having issues logging in? I also tried making a new account but whenever I get to the password section it just gives me the typical "uh oh, something went wrong"

    • mapax on 06/02/2023 - 11:12

      Me too. Came up with error A01 around 07:00, could finally log in around 09:30 to claim a freebie but has now stopped working again.

      • warmfruit on 06/02/2023 - 11:15

        I had the same error, then tried logging in again. Now it just says can't log in and there's no error code.

        Could it be their system is down?

      • Ryk on 06/02/2023 - 11:42
        +2

        The A01 seems to suggest a connection issue with their servers or timeout.

      Try now, I had same issue about an hour ago but works now.

      • warmfruit on 06/02/2023 - 13:22

        Yes, it's working now.

        I also found out one of my accounts has been G09'd while the rest were ok. I've had quite a few accounts been banned now.

        • adpaholic on 12/05/2023 - 11:14

          Even those acc which I seldom used got banned too. Unsure why . All banned on same day

        • jv on 08/02/2023 - 21:13

          They might ban accounts that use the same device of another banned account.

              @lordra:

              Of course.

              They can easily get the MAC ID of the device so know everytime you create an account or even do a price lock that it's on the same device as a suspended account.

              Whether they're actually doing this, I'm not sure… But they could if they wanted to.

                This time I have to disagree with you jv

                MAC ID is used for networks/switches to assign an internal IP address for the purpose of registering a device on your home network (for example). Look up DHCP server, it's normally enabled by default on off-the-shelf routers/modem routers. If you have a second switch/router connected into the primary one (to expand ports) you need to turn off DHCP on the secondary one, or it will cause a conflict on the network (and not work at all)
                Android phones normally randomise (you can turn this off) their MAC IDs in an effort to scramble their identity on a router/switch/network, normally this is important to have the same IP address especially if the computer or device is meant to be shared device/network drive (like a NAS), because you don't want the clients getting confused to which IP address it wants to reach to access files (as an example). Scrambled MAC IDs are good for connecting into public free wifi only.

                Internal IP on a local network is different to the IP sent (IPv4) to a website/server like 7 eleven

                All your phones or devices on the same network that shares the same internet connection will have different internal IPs (only visible within your network) but the exact same IP address when visiting a website

                Home internet services normally have a fixed IP address unless you pay for it

                These are my suspected list of tracked commonalities in relation to account creation:
                - IP address (from your home internet connection, nothing to do with the MAC ID)
                - Device ID
                - Potentially browser cookies (Verification link opens in 7/11 but through the in-app mini-browser which spawns off your phone's default browser)

    @dontpanic Is it possible to get the rooted AVD so that others can just import it ?

    • dontpanic on 13/02/2023 - 22:12

      It's possible I think - but it'll end up being a +10GB download, and I don't really want to deal with the issues of hosting it (practical and legal). If anyone else wants to do it, go ahead.

      • urahara on 14/02/2023 - 09:22

        I meant without the app. Just root he avd . Rest piece is easier.

        • dontpanic on 14/02/2023 - 12:04
          +2

          It's still a 10GB file that needs hosting somewhere, and I'm still not sure about the legalities of all that, so it's not something that I'm personally keen on doing right now (I'd need to look in to it further and I honestly just don't have the time). The instructions are detailed enough to follow for most people IMHO. But if you or anyone else wants to do it, you're more than welcome to.

    If people who have had accounts banned would mind answering this poll it might be a start in working out how they are detecting our "activites".

    I'm really surprised seeing how many people are getting banned here as I basically do everything everyone says not to do, every single week for years now and I'm still flying under the radar. I lock in the cheapest price in Australia every time without a single F given as to whether it's in Perth and I'm in Brisbane and I'm going to use it in 5 mins, I also lock mine and my dad's account in usually within 5 minutes of each other on the same device every week, neither of us have been banned.

  • slam on 20/02/2023 - 22:57

    A number of accounts have been banned. I generally lock for my wife and some friends. All banned today. What was interesting was another account of mine that I havn't used for 3 months was also banned. I have a couple of suspicions. Its either by device ID or IP address and association of logins related to a combination of these I'd say.

      All easy enough to thwart with a rooted phone. It really should be pretty easy to get back up and running with a few tweaks and a new burner account.
