    15-20% bonus points when transferring to Velocity in May-June 2024

    So I’m in an interesting scenario. I opened an ANZ Rewards Black on May 17th without knowing this promo was running, just coincidental. I’ve met the spend criteria already and have had the bonus 180K rewards points come through yesterday. I setup ANZ Rewards auto-transfer when I saw this promo...

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    I am fully aligned with Virgin, no Qantas points what-so-ever. Redemptions seems to be significantly better compared to Qantas, judging from other peoples reports. I just managed to book business return to Europe (LHR) for 3 people with relative ease (watching flights for approx 1 week) with...

    New Offer 30k Points or 200 status credits with CC Sign-Up

    I have two separate VFF accounts (wife and myself) and neither received the confirmation email, even though the website has the choice confirmed with the date it was selected. Was there anything actionable in the email form Virgin or just an acknowledgement of your selection?
