It should register as a transaction on your wife's account first before pooled to your account.

Is there any reason I can't do this for a 2 year old's account?



No reason I can see.
I signed up NoName Jnr (5 year old) last week, applied the promo to his account and completed the 5th partner transaction yesterday. I expect to receive the bonus.

It takes 30 days.
 
Thanks all for the hints. Mrs Aus ATC and I have now qualified for the 10000 points. Probably at a real cost (excluding things we really "needed" like fuel, wine and Skybus) of around $25.00 - not too bad for 20k points (but not as good as some folks here!).

Made 1 mistake though - bought a $10.00 iTunes gift card - and then read the fine print that gift cards don't count. It will get used though, so no great loss.
 
And I just received my outstanding Wilson Parking points (booked 25/11, parked 30/11) in the last couple of hours. The quantity looks about right, too. They did, however, put Activity Date as 19/12, so if it had fallen after the promo period I would be raising a fuss to make sure it got counted.

They must do it in batches as i just got mine as well with an activity date of 19/12/18 when my parking date was 2 weeks ago!

Yeah, but then others report repeated experience of receiving points within a couple of days after their booking, so why are we batched?
 
I am still waiting for Autobarn purchases from 23/11 to credit. Has anybody who ‘forgot’ to pick up a click n collect order received the points? found all other to be quite quick.
 
I'm not having much fun with this promo either. 3/4 purchases haven't credited anything in over a month.

I'm still waiting on Virgin Wines and Velocity eStore. It's been over a month since I've made the purchases too. It's not a great promo for shopping via the eStore in my opinion - nobody wants to chase up their 20 or 50 point eBay purchases a month and a bit later.

I found Wilson Parking to be the most reliable (around 1-2 days later), followed closely by BP.
 
BP, FlyBuys and SkyBus posted within 24 hours.

Still waiting on: (based on past experience)

Autobarn x 2 (est by 24th Dec)
Virgin Wines (est by 27th Dec)
eStore (est by 24th Dec)

BP is the only one that's come through for me, though I had to go through the hassle of getting a new temporary card instore since the machine wouldn't recognise my normal card. Wilson hasn't come through nor responded to my email enquiry, estore hasn't come through (though says pending), and Autobarn hasn't come through (though did acknowledge points on receipt).

I'm still deciding on a 5th purchase (mum gets all my flybuys so that's out for me). I'm considering onsport but am miffed at their website not working correctly for the two cheapish items I was interested in, so I'm waiting to see if they have a post Christmas sale that'll bring the price down of any of their other stuff I don't actually need.

But then, the whole the promo shopping experience hasn't been great for me so I don't know if it's worth the effort since I'm pretty dubious that my full set of purchases will be recognised in the end anyway.
 
Over the 3 accounts, am still waiting for transactions from Velocity e store and Autbahn to post....not too worried as I have the receipts from Autobahn and confirmation emails from Veloicty e store to prove the transactions took place. This promo shows how poor the Velocity partner program is!

Does it?

If points post within a month I won't see anything poor about it.

Certainly the "shop" seems to be working better than the prior version. (That was know as 'Velocity Shop and [not] earn').

For the eStore, am I right in saying that if a purchase doesn't show on the eStore 'view transaction activities' within 24 hours that the cookies didn't properly track it?

I've had things appear after 4-5 days on occasion
 
I've gone out of my way to get 10k on 3 accounts, lets hope this isn't a repeat of the Hyundai test drive (which I still haven't received any points for!)
