Velocity to partner with 7-Eleven

[jrfsp]

Triple points in December for "Summer Essentials" ($10 or more) but includes premium fuel.

7x points on first visit and 11x points on second visit (fuel not included).

I clicked the activate link in the email and it told me I'm not eligible. Went to the Velocity app and clicked the offer there and it told me I wasn't on the list.

Yes I had the same happen. I got the email and when clicking link also got "SORRY, YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OFFER". Yet Terms and Conditions state: This offer is personal to the Velocity member who has received the activation email and is not transferable.

Not so important for me as there is no 7-Eleven where I live but I click these things anyway coz you never know when you might have to make a quick trip. But yeah T&C very misleading. I would think if you aren't eligible you wouldn't get the email??

My error message was "OOPS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH OUR SYSTEM. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER."

Took a screen shot and emailed Velocity

7x and 11x instore purchases. I don't think I've ever bought more than a coffee in store. Are gift cards an eligible purchase for this?

Doesn't seem so according to FAQ:

7-11 have improved over past year. They held lot of research session, I participated in a few. So a concerted effort has been done.

The $1 coffees are popular, but you pay for what you get, but the sandwiches & wraps are good quality I must say IMO of course.

 

[Happy Dude]

Thanks for that @AIRwin. So there's potential to reap several dozen points for a $20 spend. Goody.

Still waiting for the status credit promo to credit..... so can't be bothered chasing much more at the moment!

Agreed and i find the fuel lock the best idea / price saving of all the servos

My credits - for my four family members - came through as a goodwill gesture. I had to send receipts but it was relatively painless. Good for them.

Just got the “oops we’re sorry” email. The error is supposedly fixed. Have been auto enrolled for the offer.

I have no receipts…. Who did you have to chase? Velocity or 711?

Velocity. You could try credit card receipts?

For anyone wondering how the 7-Eleven Fuel Price Lock works, I've written a quick guide:

Save on Petrol with the 7-Eleven Fuel Price Lock

You may already know that you can earn Velocity Frequent Flyer points when filling up at 7-Eleven petrol stations across Australia. But did you know that

That's a lock down I won't mind...

I can only "dream" of a few 7/11 outlets being in Adelaide.
Can I say, I feel very hard done by, with no 7/11s here.
Very smart of OTR to take over when there were opportunities, but poor show for competition.
VA/VFF should team up with another independent fuel outlet for SA at the least, maybe X convenience.

Yes, I got the same messages and the follow-up email to say that there was an issue with their system and that points would still be awarded as part of the promotion. I checked online again last night and the bonus points as part of the promotion have been since awarded.
