    Just managed to get through to them. The application process takes a while whilst they verify your acct details etc, plus a back log I guess. Anyway I was beginning to think it was a scam but they knew who I was which is good. They said my account should be fully active in another few days and then they send out the parking card….so people just hang in there it will happen. FYI if you check your credit card statement you'll see a 0.01c charge made by Wilson as part of the verification process.

  • angelbaby on 28/04/2017 - 10:09

    Signed up and sitting on the pending processing page after entering my CC details.

      Let me know if you figure out how to check the $50 credit. Login to wilson one but can't see it applied to my account.

  • cooni on 29/04/2017 - 13:11

    Anyone know if you can use your account to park if you haven't received your card yet?

    • AnDyStYLe on 01/05/2017 - 08:44

      I just entered a zero "0" into that field and it allowed me to proceed. Didn't cause any implications with my request getting approved either =)

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 02/05/2017 - 14:53

    I got an email from Wilson Parking. There are invitations to "Book a Bay" for special events.

    I logged into Wilson One, then went to the Wilson Parking website. I don't seem to be logged into Wilson Parking. Do we need a separate log in for Wilson Parking? Can we pay with our Wilson One credit / charge to the Wilson one account?

    (Hoping the Rep comes back or someone knows about this)

      My understanding is that you don't log into Wilson Parking, but within the website you can log into "Book a Bay" or "Wilson One" as two distinct memberships/accounts. You only automatically create a "Book a Bay" account when you first use the service.

  • odysseus on 04/05/2017 - 14:18

    Their website and process is such a mess.

    Despite originally applying when this was posted 3 weeks ago, I'm still waiting for anything to be finalised. When I login it just shows "apply now" and the form to fill in your details, even though I filled that in last week (and it displayed the "in progress" message earlier).

    I haven't been called or emailed by them, so called them up this week due to the slow/poor progress and that the date has passed. First I was told my account didn't exist. Then she asked for more details and then said they're still processing, but because my application was in before April 30 I should be fine. She "thinks" they will get done this week.

    One of the slowest, most disorganised online experiences just to apply I've seen…

    • gimme on 08/05/2017 - 11:48

      Mine was a dog's breakfast too. They did email me for further info which I responded. I also called them for another matter regarding my wife's account. Both times they were quick and knowledgeable (redeeming factor for a crappy website?). It seems ok now BUT somehow I am seeing 2X drivers per account and I'm guessing I'll be receiving 2X cards. No idea why but I'm holding off deleting the redundant accounts until I get the cards. As for the 2x booking mechanisms (Wilson one vs book a day) I have no idea how it's going to work. Almost never use them anyway, only signed up for the points and free credit.

  • kerfuffle on 08/05/2017 - 07:59

  • bobwokeup on 08/05/2017 - 14:26

    I received my cards and I also asked Wilson if I get the credit & voucher as it's now May. They confirmed as long as I signed up in April I will definitely get them :)

  • Brett308 on 09/05/2017 - 17:24

    I got a second card today. still no FF points in my account. not sure if both cards have $50 credit on them.

  • droodle on 09/05/2017 - 19:42

    My card was waiting when I got in.. Still unclear on how it's used exactly.. Is it preloaded with credit? Do you get special rates? Logged into my account but couldnt see anything of interest in there.

    • kerfuffle on 09/05/2017 - 19:49

      I think you use it to enter and leave the car park and they invoice you monthly for the charges

  • AndrewHadji on 10/05/2017 - 15:12

    Well, I received my 2 cards in the mail last week, I've just logged in, but cannot see evidence of the $50 credit, nor can I see the points accrued on my Virgin Velocity account.

    Anyone experiencing the same?

    • Sharp on 10/05/2017 - 17:57

      Same here. I think all this crdit& bonus points story is BS. They got our details and CC details. That was all they wanted we got conned in.

      Update: I received the following from Wilson:

      Thank you for your email.

      Your credit will appear on your first invoice, so once you get it next month than you will be able to see it.

      And as for the Velocity points, they are going to be paid in May.

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 15/05/2017 - 14:35

      Same. Got 2 cards in the mail now :)
      Btw, do we receive an invoice even if we haven't used the service yet?

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 16/05/2017 - 11:21
    +2

    UPDATE

    Credit is now on my account.

    Here's how I can see it

    1. Log onto Wilson One
    2. Left hand side - go to Account Details
    3. Invoice and Payment History
    4. There is an entry for a credit note and the amount is -50

    There may be other ways to check if you have credit

    • kerfuffle on 16/05/2017 - 11:33

  • gimme on 16/05/2017 - 11:39

    Got my cards and $50 but I still don't quite get how we're meant to use this. I understand it works like a CC (it says that a million times on the welcome pack!!) but how do I reserve space? That seems to be a different account??

    • kerfuffle on 16/05/2017 - 11:41

      You use the first available non-reserved space.

      • gimme on 16/05/2017 - 11:52
        +1

        ok so what's the advantage of this card over using a CC? It says "Skip the queues with your own, personalised ..". what queue am I skipping??

        If I can't make a booking with the card what's the point really?

        e.g I can book/pay online for say Pyrmont Wilson parking ($14.50) for all day Friday. If I use my card instead (no booking) and park for the same length of time, it'll cost me $38!!! Am I missing something?

        • kerfuffle on 16/05/2017 - 11:57
          +1

          The queue at the ticket machine to pay for your ticket.

          And yeah that's pretty much it. I plan to use mine only on the weekends at one of the car parks where they have earlybird parking for $9

          @kerfuffle:

          lol… what a ripoff! $25 for the privilege of not spending 15 seconds at the ticket machine. I'll just use up the $50 and bin the card.

        • kerfuffle on 16/05/2017 - 12:01

          @gimme: Yeah that's what I plan to do too. You earn more Velocity points through Book A Bay as well (plus the option of earning MyerOne points too)

    • gimme on 16/05/2017 - 16:38
      +1

      Don't take it literally, that's just standard wording. Also mathematically deducting -$50 is actually adding $50 so you're safe.

      • jaackyy on 16/05/2017 - 16:55

        Oh okay, thank god. LOL I was thinking that same thing but the line saying my bank acconut will be deducted put me off a bit.. cheers.

    • lomie on 17/05/2017 - 08:15

      Usually when a company sends you an invoice and it's a negative amount, it means they owe you money.

  • dougy333 on 24/05/2017 - 14:36

    Does anyone know how to find the parking rates for Wilson One carparks before using these? You can't use the Wilson One account for their Book a Bay function, so don't want to risk going in to the CBD without first knowing what I'm up for $$ wise!

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 24/05/2017 - 14:38

      I think it's on the regular Wilson Parking site. Go to that map. Put in the area you want to go to. Click on the different car parks and find possibly widely varying rates and times of operation in sites near each other.

    • kerfuffle on 24/05/2017 - 14:39
      +1

      I'm gonna assume they're the same rates as when you get a ticket from the machine on the day. I'm going to use the 383 Kent St car park on Sunday (their earlybird parking rate is $9) so will let you guys know what I get charged

    • kerfuffle on 28/05/2017 - 20:06

      OK I can confirm that the rates depend on what day and time you enter the car park. The car park I used today (383 Kent St in Sydney) has an earlybird rate on the weekend of $9 and I got charged $9 as I left (unlike Citipark 150 metres down the road which charges $20 for weekend parking with no earlybird).

      I found it a bit slow for my liking when exiting. I'll stick to the Book A Bay service.

  • Brett308 on 27/05/2017 - 02:27

    I still dont have the $50 credit or the velocity points.

  • King Tightarse on 27/05/2017 - 09:50

    • doweyy on 27/05/2017 - 09:52
      +1

      Yep I used it the other night for evening parking, just an easy tap on entry and exit on the paypass screen at the gate, easy as! Saved about $5 cause that's what other evening parking is and I can use it 2 more times before the $50 is up.

      • King Tightarse on 27/05/2017 - 09:55

        Good to know, thanks

        • doweyy on 27/05/2017 - 09:58
          +1

          No worries, just look at the prices before you enter because they're quite pricey during the day. I think evening parking is entry after 5pm for $15 and weekend is about the same, probably the best advantage of this deal.

        • King Tightarse on 27/05/2017 - 10:07

          @doweyy:
          Yeah I am going into the city tomorrow so I found one with a flat weekend rate.
          Hopefully I can just tap in and out

          @King Tightarse:

          Too easy, it's a really simple process, way easier than validating a ticket and stuff. Just hoping they don't stuff up and not continue the credit onto this invoice.

        • kerfuffle on 27/05/2017 - 11:14

          @doweyy: Except when the machine doesn't read your card (to be fair, this only happens once every six months or so and an e-mail to Wilson gets it fixed quickly).

          Have you checked your statement to see what they've charged you yet?

          @kerfuffle:

          Oh that's not good then. Yep they charged me $15 as expected and still credit note on file as well.

        • kerfuffle on 27/05/2017 - 11:19

          @doweyy: Yeah, but they're pretty prompt at recrediting you if their machines fail (I'm a frequent user of their Book A Bay Service, 98% of the time the machine works and they've upgraded their machines multiple times in the five years I've been using the service so at least they're using the rising car park fees to invest in their systems; parking was $5 for the day five years ago!)

    Tap in and out worked well.

      • King Tightarse on 30/05/2017 - 17:05

        Yes, they just sent me the one with a pamphlet showing the differing reader types.
        The reader I used was tap-capable and despite there being no visible chip on the card, it is a tap in/tap out type. It worked well.

  • 51ngh on 13/06/2017 - 18:33

    Going into the city for Vivid tomorrow.
    Pla to use it for first time
    I already have the $50 credit statement, so should eb all good.

    Just to be sure, is this how the card works ?

    As you enter the car park, you press the button to get the entry ticket.
    As you exit the car park, insert ticket into payment machine and it tells you the amount owing. Then you use your Wilson One card to insert/tap and the amount will be debited from the card… is that all ?

    And its a bummer that you cant book a bay in advance and pay using the Wilson card !
    Plan on going into the Clocktower carpark in The Rocks.
    Much cheaper than Opera House !

    • doweyy on 13/06/2017 - 18:35
      +1

      Yep that's how it works, OR you can just tap your Wilson card on entry and exit. But make sure that the carpark you're going to offers Wilson One, they're coloured purple on the website I believe.

    • kerfuffle on 13/06/2017 - 18:35
      +1

      Don't press any button to get a paper ticket. Just tap your card at the machine like it's an access card and do the same when you leave.

      • 51ngh on 13/06/2017 - 18:38

        Thanks & Thanks fellows !
        Oh, so thats the difference between the purple and red icons on the carpark locator map !

        Seriously, they should fire their IT team !
        Get some high schoolers, they would probably do a better job (at lesser pay ?)

        On a different note, anyone figured a way of removing your credit card from the payment details section ?

        • SydOzber on 22/06/2017 - 11:50

    Just a note on how this works for Early Bird, as advised by their CSR:

    Enter between 6am and 10am and exit between 2pm and midnight and when you enter you need to take a ticket from the boom gate. You then proceed to level 6 or higher and park in an available unreserved bay. Once you have done that you will see there is an attendant there who will give you a validation ticket, this will help you to bring down the price of your parking when you leave.

    Then when you are leaving at night, you just drive up to the boom gate insert your ticket followed by the validation ticket into the ticket slot and use your Wilson One card on the credit reader, the boom gate will then open and you can drive out.

    User beware. Wilson One card with credit cannot be used in the car park linked to the Harbourside Shopping Centre at Darling Harbour! Went in this afternoon and then was told that they don't take the card!
