Myer!? Seems like Qantas might be a more suitable partner - overpriced and never anyone around to help you.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Good(o)!
Ta for that one.
Does it go the other way around though, like, can we earn VFF from buying items at Myer.
Will go and read up on it now.
Edit: ah, only for redeeming, yep, got all the point of it now.

Qantas kinda already have that partnership with David Jones via their DJs Amex where you can opt to earn QFF points instead of Membership Rewards points (which having said that, you can also use to transfer to amongst other programs, VFF)

I think you missed the sarcasm in my comment, Kerfuffle.

Seems like David Jones might be a more suitable partner for the former DJ?

I just did some calculations - looks like you get 0.515 cents per Velocity point worth of value with Myer redemptions.

That's about what I would have expected.

Its a VFF points "burn" system only.
For the earning side, nada points if a VFF member wants something to buy in person.
Yes, there is always Kmart/Target, but somethings only Myer has.
Online purchase to earn VFF its only either of 3, the VFF store, or Catch, or some products under Bunnings Special Order section.

You can still earn Velocity points with Myer through the Velocity eStore. 2 points per $1.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions though e.g. can't use gift cards, won't earn points on Dior, Chanel, Hermes.
