Velocity Offer 'that's out of this world'

[creeno]

Just received an email from Velocity Rewards that says:

'Qantas Frequent Flyer is currently telling people to switch to one of their direct earn credit cards. They've even thrown in an incentive.

You may think that sounds enticing, but we think you should wait - at least until February.

That's when we'll be launching our offer - something truly out of this world.'

Time will tell just how enticing!

Almost makes me think you could win a trip on one of the Virgin space flights.

Yup, it would appear that the prize will be a Virgin Galactic flight. Nice.

Yes, I'd agree - especially with the graphic included in the email (one of the Earth from space).

In reality, though, Velocity has to become part of one of the alliances before I would consider transferring points to it. Otherwise it's a waste of my MR points (I like RTW fares).

Im no genius but seems to mean that Virgin Velocity Points can be redeemed for Galactic flights!

Anyhow will only be 5m points plus

But I don't want to go and do any space travel.

I would rather a first class ticket to London on Qantas, so I will continue to direct transfer points to Qantas via credit card and hope I can win the 1,000,000 Qantas miles.
