Velocity are giving heaps of free points to their members – here’s what you can do with them

Velocity Frequent Flyer has just announced a hectic new initiative, the #Earnbassadors. The new campaign will help you earn a stack of points simply for using your Insta, Twitter or Facey to promote their Velocity system. Wanna get involved? Here’s how.

So how do you become an #Earnbassador?

The #Earnbassador programme is easy as pie to navigate and open to anyone. Essentially, Virgin just want you to spread the word about how sick their frequent flyer program is. You can express this however you like, too – whether it be through a video, artwork, photo, poem, short film, interpretive dance or even a GIF. The world is your oyster!

Celebs are getting in on the act too, and hip-hop and beatboxing hero Tom Thum just scored himself a bunch of Velocity Frequent Flyer points after he uploaded a hectic video of him beatboxing in the rainforest.

If you’re in need of a bit of inspiration (and some free flights), check it out below.

The motor-mouthed extraordinaire is one of nine million members of Velocity who have the opportunity to win frequent flyer points, and you can be too. You just need to make sure that your profile is public and you tag @velocityfrequentflyer and use the #earnbassador social tag. If Virgin likes what they see, they’ll reward you with points.

So what do Velocity Frequent Flyer points get you?

You can use points to buy flights:

If you’re a Velocity member, you can use your points to pay for flights to over 600 destinations worldwide – pretty sweet deal, right? Velocity Rewards Seats start from 7,800 points, so get posting and you could find yourself on a trip to The Maldives!

You can use points to upgrade your flight: 

Perhaps the most gorgeous perk of being a Velocity member. Experience how the other half live by using points to upgrade to Business Class on Domestic and International Short Haul flights. Think of all the complimentary mimosas…

You can use points for holidays and travel:

Finally, you can even use points to book accommodation, holiday packages and car hire, or for a bunch of other rad perks like shopping or paying for fuel – check out what else they can get you here.

So! Get involved, earn points and treat yo’ self.
