Now this interests me - I shop at woolworths so double dipping with my Amex card and this will be a neat tie up

No suprise - but will be interesting to see how this works, given that both of them have been playing a lock-in game with their loyalty products lately.

Velocity could always go with Coles, which would be better than what's left of the FlyBuys program.

Qantas frequent flyer points for Woolworths' shoppers | The Australian

Sounds promissing!

Here is an interesting development from QFF

Woolworth shoppers to earn Qantas frequent flyer points | The Australian

It also mentions accruing points at Coles but even fewer details on that.

Looks like I might have to start carrying my QFF card to the supermarket.

In all seriousness, seems like a good idea- interested to see the full details though.

I would not mind betting such a program will be linked to the existing everydayrewards program (using that infrastructure). More here:

Very interesting - could be a great tie up.

Coles are still on a massive downhill slide, they probably won't get around to joining Velocity anytime soon, plus I'm not sure Velocity would want them!
