Christmas Bonus Of Up To 10,000 Velocity Points (2018)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Points have posted for BP, Autobahn and Skybus (for Mrs Aus ATC and myself).
Wilsons Parking points have posted for me - unfortunately I had a change of plans and was unable to use my booked parking.
Mrs Aus ATC's Virgin wines points are still pending.
eStore Priceline is showing as pending - delivery arrived yesterday.
eStore David Jones is showing as pending - do I need to "collect" my jelly beans to get the points?
 
Nothing yet from my auto barn purchases on 24/11. I haven’t collected my bucket yet. Any one have issues with no points when not picked up with autobarn? CC has been debited and velocity details included at time of purchase online. It doesn’t look like they include any velocity details in the emailed receipt?

I’m in exactly the same position. Thinking of ordering some more sandpaper and collecting it this time.
 
I'm a bit late to the party but have already done:
Flybuys transfer
BP
Estore - donation to Starlight (I don't need anything)
Wilson park $5 which will be a no-show.

There is an Autobarn near me so that can be the 5th.
I do use iTunes a lot, would normally buy gift cards at Coles/Woolies when they do 15% off. But someone said above that gift cards don't count for points?
 
LOL this promo makes me nostalgic for the good ole days - anyone remember US Airways Grand Slam? :D

Same same me.
Flybuys transfer with 15% bonus.
BP - part of the 4 fills of 30lt or more for 1600 points offer which has also been completed.
Wilson Parking
Autobahn - needed washer fluid $3.99 and points posted 21 days later.
eStore - Starlight donation on 1 December but this is where the issue is.... nothing pending in the eStore but have receipt that donation was made.
Made another donation to another of the charities and same, no pending points only a receipt to say it was made.

Did your Starlight donation show up in the pending list of the eStore for you?

Looks like I will need to make purchase from onsport (need new training shorts) to ensure 5th requirement is ticked off.
 
I only did Starlight about an hour or so ago and it doesn't show up in pending. Then I saw iTunes listed as a separate vendor so I bought one song just now.
 
Onsport doesn't look good unless you really need something. The shipping costs are ridiculous! Cheapest item I could find was sunscreen at 5.95 plus $9 shipping.

When you made the donation to starlight, did you end up looking at a blank page?
That was my experience, and I subsequently tried another donation with a different browser. Ended up at a blank page again, but I thought to reload the page which brought up a thank you page. The following day I received an acknowledgement from the estore of the donation, and it is currently showing as pending, 25 days later.
However nothing from the first donation.

I swapped from Safari browser to Chrome as a warning came up about using Safari on the eStore, made sure cookies were allowed etc. then made the donation and came up with a thank you page.
Also refreshed it as I remembered reading about the blank page and refreshing gives it a kick in the pants and shows the thank you page.

Had I been thinking I would of got a quote for new tyres from Midas as I need them due to an unrepairable puncture but am booked in with Bridgestone tomorrow (good price so happy).
 
I purchased online from Autobarn on 29 November (and collected). Still no points yet.
Did you keep the receipt. When I first did a purchase, the sales staff made a mistake and my velocity number was not showing on the receipt.

I checked this before leaving the shop, so went back and had the sales reversed and redone. The velocity number is clearly printed on the receipt when done correctly. I had transactions on Sat. Dec 1st and Sunday Dec, 2nd. The points posted exactly 21 days later on Dec 21 & 22 respectively.

My donation went to a thank you page and I also got a reciept emailed to me. It is not showing as pending in My Transactions/estore.
Wilson posted.
Yesterday I went to Autobarn and bought a car air freshener and clip for $3.50. Velocity shows on receipt. The couple in line behind me had some large gizmo that cost $400 and they did not have a Velocity card. So I asked them if they would scan mine and they kindly agreed. Nice little windfall!

So just worried about estore.
 
Midas has to be a full service? I can't just go in there and buy a can of oil?
 
Bought a bungee strap and air freshener over two transactions yesterday at Autobarn. Velocity number clearly shown on receipt.

I think he bought it online and picked it up from a store. There is no way to track it.
 
....and me my 29th November purchase.

Also an eStore purchase with Kogan on 25th November. It's been pending ever since. Today I put in a missing points claim as it's over the 30 days that it should take.

eStore worked on my claim very swiftly and I got an email today confirming that the point would hit Velocity within 24 hours.
Just waiting for that 29 November Autobarn purchase to show up now as a recent BP transaction also went through to Velocity in 48 hours.
At least my Autobarn receipt shows the points if I have to argue my case.
 
Just got my Virgin Wines points from my order on the 28th as well, that's all 5 of my partners (Wilson, BP, Flybuys, eStore/Kogan and Virgin Wines). Happy days! Too bad it's not 20K for 6 or I would be shopping for some sandpaper right now :D
