I shared this on my site earlier but then saw it wasn't on ozbargain yet, so sharing the love. Particularly if you're in Sydney on Friday…

Velocity Frequent Flyer is bringing back its hugely popular 1 Point Rewards promotion for 2025 – but with a twist. This time, it’s in-store only at exclusive pop-up locations in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.

The campaign, famous for letting members redeem just 1 Velocity Point for premium rewards, has been one of the most talked-about loyalty promos in Australia. Now, it’s moving offline in a bid to avoid last year’s online chaos.

📍 Pop-Up Store Locations & Dates

Velocity will open 1 Point Rewards pop-up shops at:

Sydney: 8am, 22 August – 253 Pitt Street

Brisbane: Early September (TBC)

Melbourne: Late September (TBC)

Each location will run for a limited time with strictly limited stock. Once items sell out, that’s it.

🎁 What Can You Get for Just 1 Point?

Velocity isn’t messing around – rewards span tech, beauty, travel, and lifestyle with serious high-value gear up for grabs:

💨 Dyson Airwrap – $849

🛏️ Sheridan Egyptian Cotton Sheet Set – $379.99

🛁 Sheridan Aven Towelling Robe – $169

😷 WellCare LED Face Mask – $399

🧳 Delsey Anvers Val Suitcase – $299.99

🌸 Prada Beauty Paradoxe Parfum – $215

🐎 Burberry Hero Parfum – $249

🍖 Weber Baby Q – $369

🎧 Bose QuietComfort SC Headphones – $549.95

✨ ghd Mini Slim Plate Hair Straightener – $310

Not bad for 1 point.

    Is this effective a competition? You'll probably see people camping in the street to get this crap

    For reference, in Melbourne 2023 people camped outside the night before, eventually forming a 2+ hour line that stretched blocks by morning. There was nothing but one-way domestic flights by 1pm.

    Velocity members who are Virgin Australia Group employees or contractors, and their respective immediate families, are eligible to obtain 1 Point Rewards.

      Virgin are just getting more efficient! Rather than everything being gone 2 minutes after the store opens they'll be gone 5 minutes BEFORE it opens as the store staff will have bought everything themselves.

  • kosh52 on 20/08/2025 - 14:43

    I did this in Melbourne last time they did it. I got there early and was like 500th in line. The bloke who was first in line and got the eyephone slept on the street. I certainly can’t do that and I would imagine that not everyone would be brave enough to either. The position in line should be determined by lottery IMO. Makes it fair and everyone gets to sleep in their own beds.

    • Mokr on 20/08/2025 - 14:55

      what did you get

      • rashn on 20/08/2025 - 15:08

        One way flight i think.

        • kosh52 on 20/08/2025 - 18:33
          +2

          Correct I got the one way flight (there was only this prize left and a few drebs like a fruit bowl and electric toothbrush). We had to spin a wheel and the destination was Hobart. Sadly never got to use it before expiry

          • kerfuffle on 20/08/2025 - 20:52

            @kosh52: Gee. The online version was better; could go anywhere domestically in Economy Class X bar blackout dates from the nearest home port. (I used mine to go to Brisbane), with 12 months to use it

    Checking in… it’s 3.30am and there’s ~20 people in line. Only one person brought a tent. I’m gunning for the Dyson Airwrap.

      • DanTheMan10 on 22/08/2025 - 12:01
        +3

        I was the second person in the queue (got there at 5:30pm the day before) and pitched a tent which I ended up getting around 4-5 hours of sleep so it wasn’t too bad. I ended up getting an airwrap, which had around 5-10 up for grabs.

        • kiriakoz on 22/08/2025 - 13:17
          +1

          Good on you. I'm bald so I didn't need an airwrap and so instead I slept. Personally, I respect the tent. If you're going to do it, do it properly.

  • dinted on 22/08/2025 - 03:40

  • joshptyltd on 22/08/2025 - 09:18

    The queue is moving very very slowly. I'm near "The Galleries" entrance and been in the queue for over 2 hours. Overheard someone say they are only letting 3 people into the store at a time.

    • Deal Hunting on 22/08/2025 - 09:25

      How long is the queue behind you?

      • joshptyltd on 22/08/2025 - 09:34

        @Deal Hunting quite long but I feel like people are going to start to leave the queue. I'm planning to leave soon after 10 am. I doubt I'll get in.

  • kdh on 22/08/2025 - 09:47

    The claw machine is not too much of a surprise as you can kind of see what prize is inside. Mostly points.

    • cyule on 22/08/2025 - 10:09

      The first person to use the claw machine got return economy flights to any international destination.

      • easternculture on 22/08/2025 - 11:47

        They would still have to pay taxes as velocity points only cover the fare

          If it's like the free flights last time, you email a certain email address and tell them what flight to book and they just book it for you and add it to your account.

  • good grape on 22/08/2025 - 09:51

    When I walked past at 9am they were giving out wristbands and said there's 4 machines.

    The queue snaked all the way around the block and was past the corner at the QVB/Woolies crossing.

    I was #699 in line and they cut the queue at 700. Got to know people beside me whilst waiting for 2hrs but had to leave for other appointment now and looks like another 2hrs to wait. Some people walking past got points, polaroid camera or similar. Seems you can choose gift or try lucky dip as we're told international flights are still available, which last people in line near me are holding out hope for.

    • kerfuffle on 22/08/2025 - 11:33

      Ooft lucky. What time did you join the queue?

  • cmdhit on 22/08/2025 - 11:39

    hope those Ozbargainers were lucky to get something decent in the lucky dip/mystery prize and pts claw machine.
    joined the line at 6am - just past the hilton (felt like 100+ people by then)

    best of luck for those trying in other states/traveling to other states - YES u can do it for each city.

  • teddy bear on 22/08/2025 - 12:08

    Are they not letting people line up now?

  • mamunr on 22/08/2025 - 13:43
    +1

    Went about 30 mins ago. They said the line is still 3 hours long and they're going to 'cut it off'. Essentially if you weren't in line by then you wouldn't be getting in.

  • jmsu on 22/08/2025 - 16:40
    +9

    So, bit of a write up for future events:

    I entered the queue at apparently #65 or so in line, and at about 4.45am.

    They limit capacity in the store - enough staff around to help/encourage people to make a decision, to keep things moving. It's not exactly three at a time, they seemed to let people in as people left.

    There are some of the highlight appliances available (Dyson Airwraps, Webers) but not heaps - I don't think any of those were available by the time I got in.

    We had:

    • a vending machine, with perfumes, raybans, and maybe other things to choose from? If people are very interested in this, I can check my footage and report back, but I moved on pretty quickly.
    • a claw machine with international flights, domestic lounge passes, and points available. They come in little gacha containers so you can see what's in there. I spied an international flight towards the bottom, so I don't know if they make it random, or they actually spread flight vouchers out
    • a carousel with packaged prizes, sort of a lucky dip - it would be things you can get anyway, but you don't know what it is until you pick, no returns
    • stands/shelves with the various items available (the Dyson things, the bedsheets, the facemask thing, other appliances)

    I ended up going for points because the things I might've wanted (airwrap, headphones) weren't available - at least, not without taking a gamble.

    Good luck to those trying in other states!

    • brett-au on 22/08/2025 - 19:06

      Only one I know for sure was sheets in a large bag.

  • DumplingBoi on 22/08/2025 - 21:08

    If you go with friends are you allowed to leave the queue?

    • jmsu on 22/08/2025 - 21:40

      I think it's very much based on the vibe of the queue for most of the time. My guess based on photos I sent friends before and after they arrived to manage the queue is that not everyone in front of us was there the whole time.

    • blueyez on 05/09/2025 - 06:22

    • Techn1x on 05/09/2025 - 11:30

      Managed to get some headphones, partner got the GHC hair straightener. Had to be stern to some queue jumpers who tried to sneak in at 7:30am.

      I really couldn't see into those gatcha balls in the claw machine very well as others suggested, didn't want to end up with 12,000pts like the person in front of me did, so went for the guaranteed item.

      Best of luck to all of you!

    • blueyez on 05/09/2025 - 15:31

      I got there 2 hours before you. I really wanted to try win international flights and was torn between choosing a high value item off the shelf or take a gamble. I chose the mystery box over the claw machine, and won a sheet set worth over $300… Not unhappy, but just sad I didn't win flights!!! Might've appreciated a Ninja Creami or LED Mask a little more than sheets but gotta be in it to win it

      • DumplingBoi on 17/09/2025 - 13:52

        What was your position in the queue? Did the Dysons ran out by the time it was your turn?

        • Moo Deng on 17/09/2025 - 14:04

          They replenish them in the mystery prize/lucky dip through the day as well

        • blueyez on 18/09/2025 - 15:41

          The only Dyson left when I got in was in a mystery box, none on the shelf. It was annoying that people dragged their partners along to double up on the Dysons

  • Moo Deng on 05/09/2025 - 06:47

    They should make it a physical queue with digital redemption.

    It seems there are 520 prizes up for grabs here in Brisbane.

  • happychild100 on 05/09/2025 - 13:56

    1:45 update. Small line up the mall still but officials saying probably wasting time as they have exhausted prizes. Still seeing people walk out with bags though… So maybe about to run out or misled
