Episode Description
What’s the best way to spend 25,000 Velocity Points? A $119 foot spa or flights to four AFL games across three cities in one weekend?
In this episode of the Point Hacks Podcast, Toby and Josh put the theory to the test.
We cover:
✅ Comparing 25,000 Velocity Points spent on a foot spa vs. on domestic AFL flights
✅ Why flights almost always beat merchandise redemptions in cents-per-point value
✅ The pitfalls of Virgin’s dynamic pricing on reward seats
✅ Booking tips: when to lock in the lowest redemption rates and how Business Class differs
✅ How newcomers can build up a points balance without credit cards
✅ Final cents-per-point calculations and what this says about the true “floor vs. ceiling” value of Velocity Points
