I guess that you don’t have to actually drink it in order to get bonus points.

For $1 coffee, they are actually pretty good.

It's not amazing. But it's better than a lot of other "barista" coffee I've had...

So I downloaded the 7-11 app and linked it to Velocity. Then off to 7-11 to buy petrol. Receipt indicates My Card recognised.
Will be interesting to see when the 711 points are added to my Velocity account.

That’s good to hear. I wouldn’t expect decent coffee for that price.

I downloaded the app (Android), except there's nowhere to link to Velocity. There's an FAQ about how to do it (Settings > Velocity) but that doesn't exist.

Perhaps you have an older version somehow. I updated mine today and the link appeared. Check if you can update it..

Oh weird. There was an update, even though I just downloaded it.

Got the link now, thanks.

I have 6 family VFF accounts. I think I will go down there with a Jerry Can and fill it with 1/2 a litre then go pay for it. Then go outside and repeat the process with all accounts whilst logging out/in with the new account.

Yes, a sad way to earn 4266 points but for 20 mins better than a poke in the eye. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

Further to my earlier post points have already posted to my Velocity account. 41 points for the petrol, plus 711 bonus points. Happy.

Don’t have a 711 fuel station in SA and no plans to either thanks to the Shahin’s which is a bit of a bummer

That is nuts, and I don't think it would work. Isn't the minimum fill that you can pay for in one transaction 2L?

You're better off buying a $1 coffee 6 times over the course of the month.

I wasn't aware of that minimum for Petrol and I don't think Petrol so I may have to bring a larger jerry can.

As an aside, anybody try install the 7/11 App? It doesn't not accept most DOB's and asks for a selfie to be taken... A bit painful.

The minimum fuel delivery is on the pump. 2L sounds right.

Didn't ask me for a selfie when I registered!

My DOB was accepted fine ... and no selfie needed.

Definitely no selfied needed - sounds very odd...

Hmmm. I downloaded the 7-11 App. It appears as though there are many 7-11 apps. I clicked on the link in the email and it brought me to another 7-11 App (presumably the one posters above have got to). Sadly I have a Samsung Galaxy S-7 and it says my device is incompatible with this version of the app.

Poor darts.
