Did anyone else get this email from Velocity Frequent Flyer?

Screen Shot 2019-01-21 at 9.41.57 pm.png

Virgin is offering 1,000 Velocity points (up to a maximum of 20,000 points) for each person that signs up using my personal referral link by the end of March and earns at least 50 points by the end of April. Not sure if this is targeted or if other members are also getting this email.

The new member will also earn 2,000 bonus points if they sign up using the link and earn at least 50 points.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Yep, received this offer early afternoon. Tempted to leverage multiple referrals with family transfers...
 
Received this offer this afternoon.

I do not know anybody who is not already a VFF member so a bit useless for me....
 
Yes I got it. Would be easier if the referral didn't have to then get 50 points...

I received the offer - basically 4k points for a little effort.
Do you know people who aren't already VFF members?

Finally, does have anyone have an easy strategy for referrals for getting min 50 points?

Mum and brother are not members. 25L fuel at BP on each account.
 
I got the offer as well. It says the new member must earn 50 points by a certain date. Do family transfers count?

The family transfers intent was so that once I'd made purchases totalling 50 points in each of my 'new' friends & family members' VFF accounts, I could then transfer the points back to my account. However, the more pertinent question is whether or not I can be bothered with 10-20 accounts for a relatively small number of VFF points and a potentially high risk flag being waved within VFF audit team for these sort of transactions.
 
My dog isnt yet, and am sure I have a few relatives I could sign up (with or without their knowledge).

I think this is why the 50 point minimum earn is in place, to try to limit the number of dogs, cats etc that are signed up to VFF...

Id say doing it for 1 or 2 accounts would easily go without detection. Any more than that and it would become too risky for my liking.

Isn't there a minimum for point transfers? I thought it was something like 1,000 or 2,000 points. If so, you need to first transfer some points in their accounts before you can transfer anything back to yours. I think it is too much hassle...
 
I received it, but can't think of anyone to refer. Given that Velocity membership is free I kind of feel like if they haven't signed up by this point they're probably not going to.
