Earning Velocity Points with phone plan

[serfty]

@serfty Do you know if that promo is targeted or commonly available?

It's with Virgin Mobile - you can no longer get a new Virgin Mobile plan.

I will be forced off mine in May next year when Optus completely shut down "Virgin Mobile" - until then I plan to stick with it.

@serfty I'm currently with Virgin Mobile and my plan ends around March/April.

The thought of having to go to a provider that Doesn't earn points sickens me after earning 2/$1 for so long

Just noticed from the Velocity website that points are earned on Virgin Mobile until 31 October only:

Wow, thanks for the info. I got an offer in an email to join Optus and get up to 40,000 points. I think I will look at it, I was going to have to change anyway sooner or later.

Also note that offers seem to be Targeted.
I've tried calling up both Optus And Flybuys, and both have said offers are computer generated at random

Final call tomorrow?

Bailed to Optus 10 weeks ago after S20 came out - paying $30 more per month for 3 new x S10's, also 50 GB shared.

Bailed to Optus 10 weeks ago after S20 came out - paying $25 more per month for 3 new x S10's, also 50 GB shared.

Wow that is expensive.... or were you determined to stay with Optus?

Expensive? No! It was more like Optus wanted to keep me. (I did some deep research.)

Three 'phones on plan, 3 x brand new Galaxy S10's. Nett cost increase over existing SIM only plans was $24.50 per month. Paying in total $900 for three' phones currently retailing for over $1000 each.
