Earn 1,500 easy Velocity points thanks to ridesharing app DiDi. If you already had a DiDi account as of 22 Jan 2025, simply linking your Velocity account in the DiDi app will see you earn 1,500 free Velocity points.
If you are a new DiDi customer, you can still earn the 1,500 points but in order to qualify you must complete and pay for one DiDi ride in Australia after you have linked your Velocity account.
Virgin Australia Business Flyers can also earn 2,000 Velocity points after they link their account in the DiDi app. Just like with the standard Velocity offer, those new to DiDi will have to complete a ride to qualify (this time with Virgin Australia Business Flyer selected in the DiDi app).
Velocity and Virgin Australia Business Flyers can both earn an ongoing 1x Velocity point per dollar spent on eligible DiDi rides in Australia.
What are 1,500 Velocity points worth?
It depends on how you choose to redeem them:
