Re: Earn 50,000 bonus Velocity Points and 150 Status Credits with Velocity Platinum A
Cant say that my experience has been much better, same deal as others ... made a virgin purchase in January got the 50,000 points not a problem.
But the status credits are not looking to be as easy to get out of them. After actually calling speaking with a VA rep, I have been told that it actually 8 weeks from the statement that corresponds with the month that the purchase was made in. So if you make a January purchase it wont be acknowledged until the February statement, then start waiting for 8 weeks from then.
I am lucky enough that I am already WP and my next review is not until Feb 2015, so I have nothing to lose or gain by waiting ... but 3+ months and not receiving any updates at all about when you will actually get the credits, especially when the T&C's said it would be 6-8 weeks from the qualifying purchase (not from statement at all, I still have the email with the T&C's) is a bit unprofessional in my opinion.
And I would deem it a disingenuous offer for those who needed the credits to maintain or go to the next level of their VFF status, who signed up for the card when they might not have otherwise.
