Fast 1,000 point add
*1,000 Velocity Points offer ends 15 May 2024, unless extended.Will have to try when I get home.
You know, just because you don't like anything not QFF doesn't mean you need to poke your head in to spaces for other airlines.Velocity still exists?
The hyperbolic portrayal by the AFR of Australians seemingly abandoning QFF for Velocity, including the language used in the OP article, only says a lot about their unpatriotic and cheap journalism with a clear agenda against Qantas and other Australian-owned businesses while propping up the interests of foreign corporations in Australia. Shame on them.
I expect this new DiDi partnership to last less than a year - there is no substitute to Uber. Will be surprised if more than 1% of VA’s active Velocity users actually use this service. Who even knew of DiDi before?
QFF was, is and always will be not only Australia’s dominant FF program, but also Australia’s second currency.
Yep, very tiresome.You know, just because you don't like anything not QFF doesn't mean you need to poke your head in to spaces for other airlines.
You could just completely ignore this subforum instead.
R U OK?Velocity still exists?

Seperate login details to your VABF account and personal VFF.I just also have to figure out how i can access it - keeps saying something about account being locked out ....
There is a completely different Didi app for China. (android play store)You want to know something more wild? The DiDi app doesn't work in China even though DiDi is by far the dominant player. Tells you you're in the wrong region when you try to access it in China.
It all functions off mini-apps in Alipay and WeChat.
I bet if Qatar was to buy a 20% stake into Velocity, you would be first to complain on the forumVelocity still exists?

Yes. After I linked my Velocity account, the screen in the Velocity Points area showed it was successful for 1000 points. It also provided a link for the Virgin Australian Business Flyer account.Back on Topic

Yes, I am one of them. And I LOVE competition- teaches stingy Qantas a lesson with their "Half the points and only on the way to/from the airport"!There would be plenty of people in Australia who are in both frequent flyer programs and the more partners available to either the better.
Indeed. If people don't support Didi/Taxis, the monopolising company will just become more scummy. I think Uber revenue is 8x or so of Didi in Australia and you can already see the outcomes.In fact, it's only due to competition that you get a better deal, as that's the main form of pressure when you have one business dominating.
Going slightly OT, but uber was also the reason the taxi monopoly got broken up in the early days.Indeed. If people don't support Didi/Taxis, the monopolising company will just become more scummy. I think Uber revenue is 8x or so of Didi in Australia and you can already see the outcomes.
