Velocity account suspended

[Scr77]

Family transfers aren't generally the issue...bogus family pooling is the thing that is more likely to get you suspended.

Are you in the same situation?

I’ve never had a suspension or family pooling. There are just too many reports and uncertainty around why/how far back issues go.

This makes me very nervous as I have never done anything deliberately against the rules, I have only ever borrowed points to family members and transfers to them via the 'family transfer' function and received the points in return.

I have something like 596k points in my account and multiple flights booked, Im nervous that the bookings could be effected?

BUT why would my account get flagged, because the address is the same or my mobile is listed on the account? we have only done a family transfer but not pooling

Any idea how long this investigation will go for?

You've probably created a bit of a tangled web by doing all this account admin on the same day...no doubt in quick succession, same IP address etc. I believe they tend to give themselves 30 days for this and won't be hurried up.

I think you did the right thing transferring out. I've never done anything family related with my account.
I transferred points from Singapore then a couple of months later redeemed for a business class one way flight. Then a few days later my account was suspended.
I'm not sure how they think treating their customers like this is good business.
I flew Rex for the first time recently and they were great. They will now be my first choice for domestic where possible.

It still throws me as nothing was transferred between the account for months and it was an address change? so odd

In an account suspension, is anyone able to tell me

1. How long the process was for you?
2. The outcome?

I am really hoping my points do not disappear and my account is permanently locked, could this even happen?
