Even if you don't need pet insurance, this could be a cheap way of buying 15,000 Velocity points for as little as ~$50.
To receive the 15,000 Velocity points, you need to take out any pet insurance policy with an annualised premium of $200 or more (after any discounts) and hold it for 90 days. Points are then awarded within 10 days. The PDS states that you can receive a pro rata refund if you cancel an annual policy early so after the refund the total cost of the 15,000 points should be about $50-55.
Alternatively, you can pay by monthly or fortnightly instalments but this is slightly more expensive than paying annually so it would work out to be around $60-70 for the 15,000 points.
