Well done to them. Compared to that, the flight will feel quickAfter queuing for 6 hours, they walked away with a MEL-OOL flight. Pretty sure I wouldn't have had that sort of patience!

The only ones who will ever get these '1 point rewards' will be the ones smart enough to set-up the inventory/stock bots using code that runs 24/7 pinging the VFF website. For all others, easier just to refer to them as 'No Point' Rewards.
Geez, no-one is forced to participate! If they go to the venue and see a huge queue, you have another choice whether to stay or to bug out fast.Yep, I can see Virgin having more disgruntled members than happy ones from this promotion.
Very true and I would wager many users on this forum would fall into that category - or wouldn’t even bother trying in the first place.Geez, no-one is forced to participate! If they go to the venue and see a huge queue, you have another choice whether to stay or to bug out fast.
How so?Yep, I can see Virgin having more disgruntled members than happy ones from this promotion.
The whole ‘we’ll release the 1 point rewards on line at random’ is fairly frustrating. Regular checking of the rewards store only yields non 1 point rewards. So yeah… not the best promo as far as I’m concerned.How so?
No one is forcing people to line up that early.
No different to the people who sleep out the front of Myer, DJ’s etc for Boxing Day sales.
It’s not something I’d ever do but each to their own
The velocity team know it’s not about getting a bargain, it’s about the opportunity to get a bargain. But what they don’t seem to have a good grasp of (or simply don’t care/think the risk is worth it) is when that opportunity is lost or perceived to be taken away, that’s when punters get grumpy.
Buuttt its ooohhhh sooooo slllloooooowwwwwwbuuuuuuuuut
velocity means fassssst!?
This is the only answer to this chaos. The Velocity instagram page had ~29k followers this morning, now up to 31.8k.This seems to be more about a play for new members (in prep for their IPO) than actually anything substantive.
