Velocity Frequent Flyer and AGL Energy forge partnership on customer rewards
Velocity Frequent Flyer and AGL Energy have announced a strategic partnership that will enable Australians to earn Velocity Points through their electricity and gas plans.
The partnership is targeted at benefiting eligible new and existing residential AGL customers who switch to the ‘AGL Velocity offer’. The introductory AGL Velocity offer is available until 11:59pm AEST Sunday 30 June 2024.
The partnership has the potential to benefit Velocity’s nearly 12 million members and AGL’s 4.3 million customers. Customers in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia can earn up to 35,000 Velocity Points over 12 months by switching their gas and electricity to the AGL Velocity offer. In Western Australia, customers can earn up to 12,500 Velocity Points over 12 months by switching to the AGL Velocity offer for gas.
“We are incredibly proud to be partnering with AGL – one of Australia’s leading energy retailers – to give our members the opportunity to turn their energy plans into Velocity Points”, said Velocity Frequent Flyer CEO, Nick Rohrlach. “We know that value continues to be important for Australians amidst the high cost of living, and this partnership opens up more possibilities for our members to stretch their dollar further using Velocity Points to redeem on flights, household goods and more.”
AGL Chief Customer Officer, Jo Egan echoed Rohrlach’s sentiments on the residential offer.
“AGL customers have identified travel as a high priority to maximise their energy rewards and that’s why we are proud to be Velocity’s key energy partner. We can’t wait for this partnership to take off and see our customers benefit,” she said.
The 35,000 Velocity Points can be used to book up to five one-way domestic Economy Lite flights with Virgin Australia or redeem on various household, technology, beauty and apparel items. The next phase of the partnership will explore sustainability initiatives.
Velocity Frequent Flyer has almost 12 million members nationally.
