    Hasn't this or something similar been posted beforehand. I remember signing up for the mypost digital mailbox and virgin velocity staff had no idea what the promotion was. Never got the points in the end

    • hetzjagd on 18/04/2015 - 20:26

      Correct, this deal posted on the 12th of February

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/182616

      I have checked now and I can confirm I got my 1000 points. It says 'activity date 12/02' but then 'processed date 11/03' so if you only checked within the 10 business days like they were supposed to appear within, maybe they have since arrived

  • Sweet3st on 18/04/2015 - 10:01

    So where do you enter your velocity number and name on the mypost site?

    • bloomer on 18/04/2015 - 10:14

      Last time, the requirement was that the registration email address be the same as the email address you use for your Velocity membership.

    • Ecr1 on 18/04/2015 - 10:18

      After logging in, try going to your profile and clicking the rewards tab. My velocity details appear there…

      • Sweet3st on 18/04/2015 - 10:19

        Thanks, that is what I ended up doing.

    • hlg0606 on 18/04/2015 - 17:35

      in my email, when I clicked the link, it pop up the log up website, on that website, you are actually asked to fill in your virgin velocity account there as a promotional offer.

  • webtherapist on 18/04/2015 - 10:03

    reminds us about NSA issue in Australia, we probably exposed to how much we actually spent on bills?

  • bloomer on 18/04/2015 - 10:16

    Oh, unless much has changed compared to last year, the number of billers is pretty small (mostly councils, and not all).

  • quirki on 18/04/2015 - 13:42

    Where does it say on the website?

  • sjfhsueh on 18/04/2015 - 18:42

    Could anyone please tell me how would this affect my direct debit payment of various bills from my credit cards?

    I mean, does Mypost schedule payments from credit cards?

    • daft009 on 18/04/2015 - 20:18

      This is precisely what I would like to know too before signing up

    • dazweeja on 19/04/2015 - 23:27

      You don't have to pay the bills through them, they just go into your inbox. They also give you reminders when they're due.

  • bobwokeup on 18/04/2015 - 20:05

    Great deal. Would be good if companies in WA signed up. Last time I looked there where basically none…

    • hetzjagd on 18/04/2015 - 20:24
      +1

      ditto for ACT.

      Time for me to go dig out the velocity card and mypost login details and see if that has changed since

      edit

      Nope. I was only able to add David Jones as a provider and now their catalogs will be delivered digitally..however the deal says "Bills can only be paid with selected providers." so that is unlikely to count. Great deal if you can get it in your area :/

    • Coops1 on 19/04/2015 - 09:47

      Ditto for TAS…..absolutely nobody…unless I register to pay parents Telstra bill….but they need to see it in the mailbox, so that's not a goer

    • ajdlinux on 19/04/2015 - 10:29

      I've connected David Jones, we'll find out if that counts. I can also connect my myGov account once they fix that up.

      • ajdlinux on 20/04/2015 - 23:05
        +2

        Can confirm David Jones counts, and my points credited overnight.

        • wanwan888 on 21/04/2015 - 13:08

          Do you have a David Jones account using the same email address?
          Make it short: Do I have to register a DJ account to make it work?

        • ajdlinux on 21/04/2015 - 14:00
          +1

          @wanwan888: No, I don't have any sort of account with DJs as far as I'm aware.

        • hetzjagd on 22/04/2015 - 23:26

          seconded! ha! can't believe that worked

        • Cryptarcadian on 27/04/2015 - 21:22

          Worked for me too! Never received a DJs catalogue before in my life… 1500 VA points received in a few days :)

  • rapoot6 on 18/04/2015 - 20:13

    Classic Australia post digging their heads into every business when they can barely manage their primary one of efficiently delivering mail.

  • haru on 18/04/2015 - 21:14

    Who in the list counts as a 'bill provider'?

    • hetzjagd on 18/04/2015 - 22:45

      I don't know for sure but as best as I can see - providers like Telstra and some of the local councils where it involves invoices and bills

  • Tripnfelt on 18/04/2015 - 22:11

    My council is actually on there but I don't personally pay rates, I have a physical bill from Auspost for my PO box but cannot pay it in digital mailbox or add auspost as a provider for that service :/ I want points

  • davlap on 19/04/2015 - 09:38

    Thinking of signing with yarra water

    Heres how I think it will work (corrections welcome).

    Currently bills are delivered in the mail.
    If I sign up, bill letters will be redirected to MyPost.
    The Yarra bill will then appear in my account under letters.

    Not sure what happens when I pay the bill, if I am forced to pay via MyPost, or if I can go off and pay it myself.

    Seems an easy way to get 1500 points, but danger is Auspost cock it up and you don't get the bill and miss a payment.

    Thinking of signing up when I get my next bill which is due, get the points, then cancel it.

    Otherwise might sign up to DJ as I would never buy on account.

    This has been going for a while and a pretty dismal list of providers. I guess they are trying to get people using it so more providers might agree to be listed.

    • lovetravellinginbiz on 19/04/2015 - 12:21

      That's what I did. Got my yarra valley water bill in the mail 2 days ago. Used it to register, will pay the bill the conventional way. And once the 1500 points are credited, cancel it from mydigital box.

      • dazweeja on 19/04/2015 - 23:25
        +1

        Why would you cancel it? I prefer the emails to the physical mail myself. You also get bill reminders this way (if you haven't marked as paid). Also, your can't lose the bill, can look at it anytime, etc.

  • scheps on 19/04/2015 - 23:31

    whast mygov for, can you pay tax through here? :)

    • bobwokeup on 19/04/2015 - 23:55

      Nope its a government website that links your medicare, health eRecord, ATO, Centrelink, etc. Any letters from those agencies go into your MyGov. With the MyPost app you can get notified and read any letters that were sent to your MyGov account. I've been using MyGov for a while and its pretty good with the single sign on. Only recently downloaded the MyPost app and its not bad but needs more providers to sign up to make it worthwhile.

      • scheps on 22/04/2015 - 11:30

        Oh right, thanks for that. So there is no payment that is applicable then? thought this digital mail box was for payment purposes, by receiving bills.

        • bobwokeup on 22/04/2015 - 11:50
          +1

          That's right MyGov is not for payments but the letters that you receive (i.e. from your linked accounts in MyGov such as Medicare, ATO, Centrelink) are forwarded to the MyPost app. I guess they want it to be a one stop shop in the future so you can get mail from multiple sources and also pay bills using the app.

          PS just realised I didn't really answer your other question can you pay tax. You link all your government accounts to MyGov and that way you don't have to login to each site individually. You only have to login to MyGov and then click a link to open the relevant government agency account. The first time you link your accounts you will need to login to the other site (ie Medicare) to give permission to link the accounts. It was a while ago when I linked mine but its really easy and always better to have one password rather then 5 or 6 passwords for each agency. So once you link your MyGov to ATO you can then click the link to open ATO and lodge your tax, update details, check tax payments, etc. I hope this makes sense?

        • scheps on 23/04/2015 - 19:23

          @billybob1978:

          Thanks for such a thorough explanation.

          The reason for the question regarding payment is I was wondering if i could get bonus points by linking MyGov and pay (couldn't think of anything else other than tax) through that.

  • mez on 20/04/2015 - 09:36

    so if you sign up to multiple accounts (eg brisbane city council and David jones) do you get 3,000 virgin points?

    • andytuna on 20/04/2015 - 09:52

      No, that is excluded in the T's & C's.

      Has anyone confirmed if signing up to David Jones will count as a biller?

      • T-man on 20/04/2015 - 20:15

        Yes I got 1500 points for adding David Jones as a provider.

        • bobwokeup on 21/04/2015 - 22:50

          @tlam did you have to setup an account with David Jones? I clikced on the redirect mail button and it setup them up as a provider but did not setup an account with DJ….is that right?

        • bobwokeup on 22/04/2015 - 11:37

          @tlam: Ok cheers. I'm assuming I have to have their catalogue in the first place to get the points but there was no option to subscribe to the catalogue. Do I go directly to the DJ website and subscribe there then link it?

    FYI.. Got my 1500 points this morning. 24hra after linking yarra valley water.

    wow points received very quick. so happy. 2 velocity account :)

      yep got em too.. now to disconnect the biller lol

  • Sweet3st on 21/04/2015 - 18:49

    Still no points for me. Looks like a chase up is in order. Have any existing users received their points yet?

    • uavaus on 21/04/2015 - 21:13

      no points for me either, it has been more than 24 hours

    • wanwan888 on 21/04/2015 - 22:26

      24 hrs after register, still no points.

    • bbqwer on 21/04/2015 - 23:35

      Yes, we received points after 24hours registration. perhaps, you guys forget to put in velocity

      • uavaus on 22/04/2015 - 08:42

        Definitely put my velocity number first thing, added two providers (DJ and YW), got an email confirmation that providers were added; 48 hours later - still no points.Disappointing

        • wanwan888 on 22/04/2015 - 09:13

          same here

        • bbqwer on 22/04/2015 - 11:00

          No need to panic yet. it clearly stated: Velocity Points will be allocated to your Velocity Account within 10 days from transaction date

        • bbqwer on 22/04/2015 - 11:38

          My brother received point just now. Signed up yesterday about 3pm , received today 11.30AM sydney time.

          he did the same thing as me.

          1. make sure when you name exactly the same as velocity account ( including email address ).
          2. put the velocity number in first.
          3. then sign up for provider ( we chose david jones ).
        • bobwokeup on 22/04/2015 - 12:01

          @bbqwer: Did you "Sign Up for Email" on the DJ website? [@tlam] said he didn't have to setup an account.

        • uavaus on 22/04/2015 - 13:00

    Wanna check my points today. Can't login. Even after the timeframe of maintainance

  • Love a bargain on 05/05/2015 - 13:33

    Added David Jones on 18/4 and still haven't received any points in my Velocity account. Checked that my velocity account details are recorded under the rewards section of my profile. Anyone has had any luck chasing up their points?

    • Coops1 on 05/05/2015 - 17:47

      Not 5 minutes ago was wondering the same thing (daughters account), checked Aust Post website and Velocity number was not referenced and I needed to add it.
      I got the 1000 points last year but it was done against email address I suppose, just forgot to do it…now I need to unlink and relink maybe.

      Actually just got a David Jones catalogue in the mailbox…1st letter EVER received in the mailbox :)

    • Sweet3st on 08/05/2015 - 18:34

      I still don't have my points. Queried this with Velocity who turned me over to MyPost. Nice CSR has opened a case and believes I will get my points. She said they had many other similar queries, so you may need to contact them.

      • Love a bargain on 09/05/2015 - 00:18

        That's exactly what happened to me. Velocity's CS is absolutely useless/ unhelpful whereas the guy @ MyPost I spoke to was so friendly and helpful. Lodged an inquiry and will see how it goes from there.
