Some Velocity members are reporting having accounts suspended for "potentially" dodgy points transfers.
What's considered 'dodgy'? Buying points?
Qantas called me recently to examine a large points transfer that was made into my account from a relative.
There was nothing fraudulent about the transfer.
But shows that airlines are proactive about these things.
You've just got to make sure the VFF account isn't affiliated with your real one and use different details and you'll be able to get J flights in points for the price of a cash economy flight. A friend of a friend told me...
Posting this is a good way to get loopholes closed...
This is infuriating. We have 4 children and all 6 of us have been Velocity members since it's inception. We have enjoyed family pooling as it allowed husband to attain WP with me and our 2 youngest pooling,(older girls stopped pooling when they reached 18, but I still transfer all their points over).
We have supported Velocity since Day One and do everything by the book. The fact that we move lots of points around to maximize our benefit - is undoubtedly a giant pain for anyone trying to interpret it, but we have no choice. There's no point all 6 of us living under the one roof and staying Red with 200,000 points each. I transfer and funnel all points and SC where applicable into the one account and that is my right to do so.
The kickback for 4 Velocity credit cards, annual expenditure on 4 Velocity Debit Visas and 6 family members flying Virgin Australia as their preferred carrier - has to weigh heavily in the VA corner. So, if they want to come looking for me to challenge the validity of how I support THEM - well, bring it on.

They tried it on with a couple of my friends - issued letter to terminate ..let's say after some legal professionals were shown the letters, a strongly worded legal letter was sent back. Within 12 hours all accounts were reinstated. Amateur hour as usual at velocity. Even for a SG member, they weren't shown any courtesy to be asked for an explanation. Just a letter saying your account and all your points will be gone in 14 days... pathetic.

Why is it infuriating? Have you done something wrong ?
It's infuriating to hear potentially damaging information that makes me audit myself. I can't blame the people who relate factual accounts of their own experiences. But I get nervous at the prospect of information affecting me in a negative way if it's delivered in a less than factual way.
I've done nothing wrong, but then again, neither have a lot of people here on this forum. Doesn't make me less worried.
There is no need to worry if you play by the rules...and you have
