I just got the same message but be aware it says points will drop within 45 days of them supplying your energy. If they wait until the end of the billing cycle to switch over it could be a while.

Doing everyone a favour. Their back end security(or lack of) with credit card data was unacceptable and the government should have closed them down years ago.

Can children use them?

I'm now silver in the app. Thank you Macquarie bank for the memories!

This fella is correct. It's 774 001.

I didnt get close on any of the metrics- about 24 nights over 6 stays with ~30,000 base points.

Like Happy Dude i am also confused. I have been Diamond since the Macquarie credit card days, covid extension, then i actually earned it through stays in 2022.

From application approval to card closure in 20 days. Wish all credit cards were like this. 18 months on the side lines now with NAB!

Im too am keen to know how you went. I did the Velocity one about a year ago and am thinking about trying the Qantas one now. Based on a read of the T&C's there is no exclusion from doing the Qantas one if you have previously done the Velocity one.
