Velocity wants to know if you prefer bonus status credits or points

[Mattg]

At the bottom of the "2024 year in review" emails that Velocity has just been sending out, there's a poll that asks if you'll be focusing more next year on status credits or points:



To me, the most interesting part is this:

If you participate in this poll, Velocity Frequent Flyer Pty Ltd (Velocity) will collect your preferred 2025 Velocity goal to personalise any potential future offers based on the goal you select.

In other words - if you select a response, Velocity might send you an offer tailored to that next year. Seems worth doing?

Selected Status Credits....will need the assistance next year I think as too much personal travel booked via points!

 

[AIRwin]

I selected points... @Mattg can you create a poll here?

Thanks for posting about this - I skimmed the email, saw the pictures, got sad I didn't fly (with VA) as much as I thought I had and completely missed the questions at the bottom

got sad I didn't fly (with VA) as much as I thought I had

I was in the top 5% again

 

[Brizz]

Ahh - we're flexing!

Top 5%, 30 flights, 35762k's

Preparing to get smacked by the big boys!

I agree with @Brizz, Status Credits are going to be harder to come by in 2025

Points all the way. Don't need status when you're flying J

 

[flyingfan]

I'm in the bottom 90%.

Interesting idea, haven't had an invitation to steer my preferences for the year ahead before from any airline - but how many offers can we expect? We might reach our targets or for some other reason just want to switch, wonder how this will play out.

only top 10% for me, but points say 386k, obviously from all sources, CC's, insurances.

unsure of hitting the Point or SC button as not chasing WP anymore due to devaluation. But just few thou away from FG so in few many years may get there.

Since we are flexing: Top 1%, 49420km, 70 flights

 

[BCons]

Clicked on SC's - I dont know how many I have since joining in 2008 and thus how close or not I am to lifetime 24K Gold. Alright, I accept that VA's version of lifetime status might be closer to 18 or 14K..

Top 5%, 300k points and 1080 SC's

I wonder what happens if you don’t make a selection?

 

[serfty]

I wonder what's happening if you haven't received any such email ...

They just released a huge devaluation on Velocity Frequent Flyer members. Nick Rorlach and friends devised this scheme with input from all of us over the past couple of years.

And now they’re asking their members for more feedback and insights to guide their next devaluation? I don’t believe any response will sincerely help us, but it will certainly contribute toward their next enhancement. Where’s the “Focus on More Get stuffed” button?

Same! Maybe because I have a new account and the old one is still locked due to the points theft, probably messed up the system...

This evening one of my friends received this targeted offer based on the vote from this December email.

Per the email from Velocity they had not yet flown VA this year, but did already have a flight booked for travel this weekend.

I never received the original email early December which had subject "NAME, it's your world so let's take a look at your 2024 with us" - despite all my marketing emails turned on.

 

[jase05]

Yeah, got that today which is handy as I have stack of AFLand NRL games to book flights for. Will probably book a batch of 10-15 J flights each for the two of us

 

[The-Aviator]

Got this too! Had forgotten about the survey. Might lock in some flights to hold Plat for one more year.

Email suggests no activation required but I can't see anything in my offers list on the Velocity website. Is that the same for everyone?
