Note that nothing is said about how many bonus points you get. But in the T's and C's...

So am I to understand that Velocity members who buy a Y+ seat on one of these routes will effectively get a Y seat (or more accurately, enough points to redeem a Y seat) on the same route free (minus taxes and fuel fines)?
That's a pretty good deal if thats the case.
