Discover Velocity's Family Pooling
Family Pooling is an exclusive Velocity benefit that allows members to pool either their Points or Points and Status Credits with family members living at the same address. When you sign up for Family Pooling, you’re working together to accrue all the family’s Velocity Points and or Status Credits into one family member’s account, helping you to reach your Points and Status goals sooner.
Family Pooling is the best way to fast-track your Points and Status Credit balance
A family pool can consist of a max of 6 family members living at the same address
Manage your Family Pooling online. You can start or stop contributing to a Family Pool at any time.
Use your Points on Reward Seats, at the Velocity Reward store or the Velocity Wine Store.
How it works
As a first step, decide which family member will collect the Points and Status Credits. This person is known as the beneficiary.
The other members of the family are known as the contributors. A contributing account member can start or stop contributing to a Family Pool at any time by logging in to your Velocity account and adjusting your Family Pooling settings. As a contributor, only Points and Status Credits earned after setting up Family Pooling in your Velocity account will be transferred to the beneficiary’s account.
What a Family Pool could look like
A family of 4 taking a flight from Sydney to Perth would earn:
Based on flying return from Sydney to Perth and earning 60 Status Credits and 2,300 Velocity Points on an Economy Choice fare for $460 per person#.
With just one return trip the beneficiary of the Family Pool would have earned enough Points to book a one way Reward flight and almost earn Silver Status. Silver Status is awarded after earning 250 Status Credits and flying 2 eligible sectors~
#Fare example, as at 24 February 2023.
You must set up Family Points Pooling before your family members earn Velocity Points and Status Credits as pooling is not backdated (i.e., any existing Velocity Points and Status Credits already in your family members’ accounts will not be transferred after you set up Family Pooling).
