Christmas doesn’t come cheap.

But here’s a little saving tip – collect and stash away your Velocity Points until December and you could redeem Points for gift cards at the Rewards Store1 or online at Myer2 and save hundreds!  Or treat yourself and go on that summer holiday you’ve been dreaming about!

Now, if your Points balance has been quietly mounting, you have just over two months to keep up the excellent work and you could use Points to help cover the cost for Christmas! For the rest of us, here are our tips on how and where to start building up your Points in time for Christmas.

1. Turn your weekly shop into your dream Christmas holiday

Every shop you make from today onwards could earn you Velocity Points when you transfer points from Flybuys. With the average grocery bill roughly adding up to $200 a week, why not get Points out of it? We've partnered with Flybuys so you can earn Velocity Points by transferring Flybuys points to Velocity3. You can transfer manually or turn on Auto Transfer and let us do the work for you.  Each time you collect 1,000 Flybuys points they'll be automatically transferred into 500 Velocity Points. 

 Pro tip: Earn Flybuys points with 21 other partners including Coles, Officeworks, Bunnings, and First Choice Liquor Market. 

2. Don't drive past those Velocity Points at your next refuel

You can shop around for the lowest 7-Eleven petrol price, lock it in and redeem within 7 days at any 7-Eleven station with the Fuel Price Lock, all from the handy My 7-Eleven app. Then, you can earn Velocity Points on eligible purchases when you scan your Velocity linked My 7-Eleven app at the checkout4.

3. Take up a Velocity Points-earning credit card

Did you know a Velocity Points-earning credit card5 is one of the easiest ways to build your Points balance? As you spoil your loved ones this Christmas, spoil yourself at the same time and earn Points for each dollar you spend on eligible purchases with your Velocity credit card. And while it’s a major social faux pas to “double dip” in the cob loaf at your neighbour’s Christmas drinks, there is one type of double dipping that we do encourage… a Velocity Points double dip!* Use your Velocity Points-earning credit card when spending with our partners and you could be earning Points twice for one purchase. The more Points you accrue, the closer you’ll find yourself to your next holiday. What better gift to give yourself this festive season? 

4. Gifts for loved ones, Points for you! 

Earn points on your Christmas shopping via the Velocity e-Store6. With 300+ retailers from Apple to Nike, Country Road to Baby Bunting and department stores including Selfridges, David Jones to Myer, just sit back, relax and shop as you do. Save these dates Black Friday, 25 November and Cyber Monday, 28 November where you can earn extra bonus Points while you shop the sales.  If you’re paying with a Velocity Points earning credit card, double dipping on Points is a must.  

5. A wine-derful time of year

From Christmas dinner to a BYO for a mate's gathering or family BBQs, Velocity Wine Store7 is your one-stop shop for all your drinking needs this Silly Season. Save some money and use your Velocity Points to stock up, or spend and earn Points towards your next holiday. We've got Points on tap right here at the  Velocity Wine Store.

There you go! Five ways to bank your Velocity Points for Christmas. All it takes is a little change to where and how you make your everyday purchases.  To track how your Christmas Velocity Points are going 24/7, download the Velocity app.
