Quick and easy way to pocket 1,000 Velocity points.
You will need to log into the Velocity e-store then sign up to Foxtel Now on a 10-day free trial.
You can cancel the trial straight away and should receive the points, once tracked.
Note: The cancel button was click-able after about 5-10 minutes.
Purchase Conditions
No lock in contract, cancel anytime.
New/First time customers only and lapsed customers are not eligible.
Ah it says
Due today $58
Maybe your phone number / email has been used for an account before?
Worked okay for me, but I haven't been a Foxtel customer before.
Same for me:
Total you'll pay
During offer - starting 31st December 2025 $58/mth
After offer - starting 31st December 2026 $84/mth
Due today $58
I've never used Foxtel prior to this. Email address has definitely not been used. The burner phone number I provided, not sure. So maybe the phone number is the issue.
Did you skip the phone number verification?
@Rosace: Yes, skipping the phone number was the cause for getting $58 instead of $0. Used a burner phone number to get past this issue but couldn't complete signup after providing various card details from a few different banks.
Need to provide your mobile number during sign-up as verification code is sent to your mobile number.
EDIT - verification can be skipped so a burner number is fine.
EDIT#2 - You need a minimum of $1.00 in your account for the card verification from Foxtel Management!
EDIT#3 - Seems like they're not accepting disposable cards from Revolut. I am getting "Hmm… we have had a problem creating your account. Please try again."
Don't think that you can skip the verification, as above
Thanks op it worked and i was previously a satellite customer
keep getting "Hmm… we have had a problem creating your account. Please try again." when i put my payment details in
I'm getting exactly the same. Any chance you're using a disposable card from Revolut?
tried ING, revolut and monzo, all the same
Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking of trying another card thinking they're not accepting disposable cards from Revolut but I'm just going to give up now. This deal seems to be unobtainable!
I can’t cancel after signing up!
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled…
I thought the same too, but after about 10 minutes the cancel button is click-able.
I can only assume it takes time for the account setup to be finalised, to which then you can cancel.
Have added this to my post.
Thanks, I'll give it a few more mins, Thought it was very scammy and on brand for murdoch otherwise…(the price is still a scam for the content you get if you end up paying)
I can confirm I was able to cancel after 10 minutes.
Thank you!
You didn't wait for it to track before cancelling?
do not use this, very hard to cancel
Takes a few seconds to cancel online, not an issue!
yhh cancel button appears after about 10mins, no issues to cancel here
I got charged $58 had to chat to customer service to cancel and get a refund.
Because you’re a previous customer.
No issues with cancellation.. free foxtel till Jan 10th… cheers op
thanks, i try to use it but nothing to watch on it, who will genuinely join it ?
So mobile number has to be unique but you can use the same velocity number that you have used on a previous account several years back and would you still get the points ?
Wondering the same
Signed up for points. Not sure I’d watch anything there though.
Taskmaster is okay should finish a few seasons in 10 days
Wouldn’t risk it foxtel are awful and would probably charge you a month in advance even if it’s a free trial
This is why you have a fee free debit card, put 3 dollars on it and use it for things like this. You will pass verification with 3 dollars, but obviously they won't be able to charge you for higher amounts.
They charged me $58 had to contact support to get a refund on the upside they gave me a free month instead of 10 days but it’s foxtel
Signed up. Easy enough to cancel after approx 10 mins. Let's see if the points appear.
Just checking if you guys got the bonus pts straight away ? Or do we need to wait a while
Did you mean to neg the deal?
Says within 30 days to get the points
nah genuine questions, as I thought will get it right away (the pts) and I didnt mean to neg the deals by the way (I blame my fat fingurs :D )
all good should have read the fineprints
Phat fingers happens, especially with the tiny buttons on mobile.
should have read the fineprints
Often it is in the fine print, however in this case it is one of the very first things clearly shown when clicking the deal link.
Foxtel Now 10-day free trial
1,000 Points
SHOP NOWWHEN WILL I GET MY POINTS?
Purchase Today -> Tracked within 24 hour(s) -> Awarded within 30 day(s)
I cancelled after this trial last year, and later received offers with a free hubbl device, then last month IQ5 for 1 month sub. I think if you select technical problems as the cancel reason they will try to offer you other services to return. Worth a try anyway and I did get the velocity points too
YMMV but when this was with Qantas points instead of Velocity points it took 24h for the cancel button to be clickable. Others report 10 minutes. Maybe they’ve changed it but if you’re having issues, wait a day.
Foxtel? YEW!!!!!
I can confirm that I signed up for the trial, received a confirmation of 1000 points tracked by Velocity, cancelled before the trial ended and then received the bonus points after about six weeks.
I got the free trail but did not get the velocity point confirmation yet.
have had foxtel now for a few years when basic was $25 then the price changed to $30 making it platinum and all channel. This month they were offering $35 for iq5 residental foxtel with 2024 platinum but had to disconnect and disable foxtel now service. I wonder if they plan on shutting it down.
How does one actually use the service? Link to the iOS app doesn’t appear to work for Foxtel Go app.
“This app is currently not available in you your country or region.” I must be getting old…
Also getting this. So free trial of not being able to watch anything?
Got an email this morning confirming points are being tracked.

Wow no Apple TV app,
Yeah I too was extremely surprised. Apparently it used to work but has recently been taken off App Store….
So I got the 'Hmm… we have had a problem creating your account. Please try again.', however seconds later I received a confirmation email that I signed up successfully. Let's see if the points get credited.
Not as straightforward as Disney plus or Netflix app on nvidia shield. Need to become beta tester before able to download o. Google play.
Anyone try to sign up and not get the SMS verification code?
won't accept Wise card either btw
The link you clicked on requires cookies to be enabled in your browser. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I am getting this when clicking on Shop via website. Does anyone know what setting to turn on because Firefox has cookies enabled in mine.
Still can’t cancel, after a few hours.
No Apple TV app.
$100+ a month for a bunch of tv channels.
Good to see Foxtel is still the same crappy standard. Place your bets on when they’ll die.
Signed up just now. Wise card no workyies. used big4 card. no issues.
Has anyone received their points?
Not yet, but it does say the points will be awarded within 30 days.
ahh right thanks
Has anyone received their points yet?
Nope, still waiting 30 days period.
Nope, Will be submitting a missing points from on Monday if not received.
how do you watch the last of us? not showing up on search
Received a notification that the points has been approved. I still don't see it appear in my account though. Expecting it'll come through in a couple days at the latest.
Same.
Likewise
Got the 1000 points on velocity account
Yep the points have come through now
No points yet.
Link redirects to https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/store/affiliates . There is no Foxtel at Velocity Store any more.
Thank you OP. Hopefully it gets tracked!
