Giveaway: 7 million VFF points shared equally between all entrants

[purpleparrot]

Do you think they round up or down to the nearest point?

 

[Richie312]

They said they will round up, I reckon everyone will get less then 10points

That would essentially mean that 1 in 10 Velocity members is actively engaged with the program. Personally I doubt that... I'm betting it will be around 40 points.

Let's hope they round up to the nearest 1000, or at 100

200 points, this would imply 35,000 people joined the promotion, but I reckon they've rounded up.

 

[scwappy]

Not too shabby for doing nothing IMHO

 

[kyle]

Happy with anything over 100.

 

[Jet L]

I got 600 for me and family pool I expected 20 all up...

 

[kalboy]

I only got 400 (myself and significant other) cos I forgot to enter my 2 kids. stupid me.

 

[Pleb Status]

A good outcome for doing nothing...

I would say that far more than 35,000 registered but VFF rounded up to 200 points to avoid the criticism which would have arisen if they paid say <50 points each.

 

[Jet L]

Not a lot of people follow promotions like this so i'd say a lot of people could not be bothered / didn't know

I cannot recall if the emailed this promotion out or if it was a Facebook/Twitter/Website promo only

 

[Dannyism]

I might just be too optimistic but I'll say 200.

Congratulations!! I think we all owe footy a drink ! Meet me in the nearest airline lounge... My shout, hahaha.

That doesn't speak well for how many engaged/active members of the program there are. Especially if you consider many members probably registered multiple family members. Those 35,000 members represent half a percent of all their accounts – 0.005% – and as previously mentioned, probably a little less than that considering multiple registrations.

I would love to see how the numbers compared with a similar QF promotion, but I doubt they'll be so foolish to expose themselves.

We should argue that the description says 7 million points so we all want 7 million points

I'm not sure if the numbers are "dire". I only knew of this due to AFF and I would consider myself a pretty active member. I didn't see it on FB, website, Twitter, no email. My guess is it was probably a (relatively cheap) testing tool to see how active their members actually were on those channels, dressed up as a promotion, and even at that level probably provided pretty decent breakdowns (e.g. differences in user activity, status, demographics in response etc).

With family pooling I got 400 points.

Every little bit helps

Essentially a Trojan horse?

800 points via the family pool. Not too shabby at all!

I only got 400 (myself and significant other) cos I forgot to enter my 2 kids. stupid me.

Kids under 18 were excluded.
