Velocity - Specials

Do you have one of the credit or charge cards below? If so, then we’ve got an early Christmas present for you! Simply transfer your credit or charge card reward points to Velocity, then redeem those Velocity Points on Christmas flights and you’ll get 25% Velocity Points back!*

So much for getting anything besides "flights with Virgin Blue, V Australia, Pacific Blue or Polynesian Blue for travel before 31 January 2010" at a cheaper rate.

From the Velocity Website:

**GREAT NEWS: While you still need to redeem your Points for flights before 31 January 2010, you can now book your flights for travel up to 30 June 2010.

Pity they left this development too late and under a bushell as we've booked NZ on Jetsrtar for the June school holidays - same cash money as V but no need to spend 14k of points per person as well.

Every time I get an email about this promo it just annoys me (having booked an award flight the week before the promo began). If I booked now it would be half the price. Shame the cancellation fee is cash, otherwise I would cancel and rebook.

It is a bit of a difficult offer to meet unless you have specific plans underway.

Step 1: Transfer CC points to redeem
Step 2: Redeem and then take the flight
Step 3: After the flight check that Velocity have posted the points.

Just seems a lot of work when for example sampson can find similar fares at Jet* without the points redemption.
