    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    Took a while to decide on what to get, so ended up ordering on 17/04. Points have been taken from my account. No gift card just yet. Sadder is that I was waiting on Virgin to fix up 20k of points from my girlfriend :( looks like they're gone for good.
