"Something big is on the horizon" email from Velocity re a new 4 digit PIN

[Major]

I have now changed to a PIN.

As there are several million members I probably have a better chance of winning lotto than one of their travel offers

Are there prizes? Suppose I should read the whole email

Did I mention how disconnected I am from VA?

Reminds me of when I worked in IT, it was never a bug it was a "*feature" :mrgreen:

The four 'prizes' caught my eye. It makes it sound like you get a choice but I assume there's only one of each.

Your choice of destination

If you’re one of our four lucky winners, you can choose from Auckland, Fiji (Nadi), Los Angeles or the Gold Coast. So whether you fancy star spotting on Rodeo Drive, want to experience New Zealand’s natural beauty or lay back poolside in paradise, it’s up to you.

Even if you aren't that keen on going to the US I doubt you'd choose the Gold Coast over a return trip to LAX.

More like you have registered a PIN.

Your password still works (at least mine does).

Odds are on for paying with points at BP IMO.

Another possibility, a velocity/ virgin app? *squeezes hands together and prays*

Do ya reckon it's likely that this relates to the big announcement that started this other thread: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....velocity/va-and-bp-big-announcment-73390.html

Because bonus points offers for fuel really don't seem all that big, really.

Maybe it's not related to BP and they are going to announce a partnership with Coles, flybuys and Myer

There's already a pretty good app...

A free flight in economy is hardly a prize...

Who dreams up this stuff? They need a new job.

I know, seriously! $200 Y trip to the Gold Coast? Are they kidding?

A flight is a prize (in my mind) is when the cash equivalent flight would cost more than my hotel expenses.
Anything less is garbage.

Unless you live in the USA.

These days, when I look at a competition and see that its a Y fare, I don't bother entering.

Visa had something recently for a trip to Brazil for the Olympics. Not in Y Im not!

Someone I know won a return Y trip to Europe, including acommodation etc. There was the promoter and a marketing company. They're dealing with the marketing company and the travel agent acting on the behalf of said marketing company, and the TA won't even tell them a thing until the marketer says they can, and the marketer can't get sign off from the promoter.

I'm not sure if all competitions are so bad (obviously this one is direct so should, in theory, be easier), but this person has been waiting multiple months now for a confirmed itinerary, when the flight had to be taken within 12 months. Why bother as you say especially if it's only whY!

I chose the Gold Coast, because I live there.
