7-Eleven and Velocity Frequent Flyer have announced a new partnership to reward Velocity members with points for fuel and eligible convenience purchases.
With more than 700 7-Eleven stores located in neighbourhoods across Victoria, NSW, the ACT, Queensland and Western Australia, Velocity members will earn:
- Two points per $1 on eligible 7-Eleven in-store purchases.
- Two points per litre on premium fuel at 7-Eleven.
- One point per litre on regular fuel at 7-Eleven.
In addition, Velocity members will earn 711 bonus points on their first eligible purchase at 7-Eleven made by 28 June 2021.
Velocity’s commitment to members
Speaking at the launch of the partnership at Sydney’s The Domain, Virgin Australia Group CEO and Managing Director Jayne Hrdlicka said Velocity was committed to providing members more value and more opportunities to earn Velocity Points on everyday spend.
“Today is an incredibly exciting day for our 10 million Velocity members as we welcome 7-Eleven to the Virgin Australia Group family,” she said.
“We promised our members that we would deliver even more opportunities for them to earn Velocity Points for spending on everyday activities and today we’ve delivered on that promise.
“7-Eleven is Australia’s largest independent fuel and convenience retailer with over 700 outlets across Australia, so whether our members are shopping at a city convenience store or filling-up their cars with fuel, 7-Eleven’s strong presence and great in-store experience will give Velocity members more opportunities to boost their Points balances, to fly.
“We’re focused on providing Velocity members value by delivering some fantastic rewards as well as continually looking at how we can bring new engaging benefits to our members. Our partnership with 7-Eleven is a great example of that.”
7-Eleven customers to receive more benefits than ever before
7-Eleven CEO and Managing Director Angus McKay said he was energised by the prospect of two iconic Australian brands joining forces, with 7-Eleven customers set to receive more benefits than ever before.
“Knowing your customer personally has always been core to being a great retailer,” he said.
“This new partnership allows us to continue to learn so that we can ensure we have what our customers want, when and where they want it.
“Our goal is to continue to be leaders in convenience. Being able to align our My 7-Eleven App with Velocity Frequent Flyer means we can continue to lead the market in offering our customers the chance to save using our fuel price lock feature and in-store offers and maximise the value our customers can achieve by building their Velocity points balances at the same time.
“We are also really looking forward to helping people take to the skies again.
“Velocity are all about making it easier for their members to get their dream reward sooner, and our focus is all about making people’s lives easier, so Velocity Frequent Flyer represents a great fit with 7-Eleven.”
