Every $1 = 50 Velocity Points in redemption value

$1 to 50 Velocity points seems like pretty piss poor value though? That’s 2c/pt.

$3000 = 150000 Velocity Points - Which is what you really need for a decent redemption

I earn about $1,000 per year in Shopback and I always cash out the day the funds hit the Shopback account and they then go into my bank/investment account, earning returns.

I'll stick with cash thanks

Anyone actually got the 100 points? So far they haven’t appeared.

I did it because unlike cash, you can redeem from $5. This enabled me to redeem $5 that was months away from growing to $10+.

Anything more than that and you're better off getting cash though as 2cpp is a high price to pay for Velocity points.

(No sign of my 100 points though.)

ShopBack and VFF are currently running a promotion offering the chance to win 100,000 Velocity Points. However, if you're like me and don't have $10 sitting in your ShopBack balance to transfer to VFF to qualify for entry, you could be out of luck. Waiting for cashback from a purchase to become confirmed can take weeks, if not months. Has anyone found a workaround or a roundabout way to speed up the process?
