Ola and Velocity Frequent Flyer have partnered up to offer more points-earning opportunities than any other airline loyalty program and rideshare tie-up in Australia.
The partnership enables Velocity members to earn Velocity Points on every Ola ride and double Velocity Points on trips to and from eligible airports. Together, Ola and Velocity are delivering a door-to-door travel experience and a new way for Velocity members and travellers to turn their everyday spending into Velocity Points.
Members can now earn one Velocity Point for every $1 spent on everyday Ola rides, and two Velocity Points for every $1 spent on rides both to and from eligible airports. The Velocity Points will be credited to members’ accounts in real-time and Velocity members will also earn 1,000 bonus Velocity Points when they take their first Ola ride.
Karl Schuster, CEO of Velocity Frequent Flyer, said that it was important to the loyalty program to provide their members with the opportunity to earn Velocity Points in their everyday lives.
“This new partnership will allow our members to earn Velocity Points with every Ola ride they take, helping them to accumulate Velocity Points faster and reach their travel goals sooner,” he said.
“We are always looking to provide the best earn opportunities for our members and are proud to launch this market-leading loyalty offer in the rideshare category. Alongside our multi-award-winning reward seat availability and redemption opportunities, we are confident that this partnership strengthens our position as Australia’s best value airline loyalty program.”
Points-savvy Velocity members will also be able to multiply the Velocity Points earning opportunities on each Ola ride, when using their Velocity Points-earning credit card as their Ola payment method.
