How to get points
In order to receive your Velocity Points, you need to advise SkyBus of your Velocity number during the booking process. As with the Melbourne SkyBus you cannot earn points using the Kiosks.
In the case of the Auckland SkyBus you can either book online, or at one of the manned booths. If you are booking online, there will be a field provided on the purchase page to enter your Velocity number. In the case of booking at a manned ticket booth, you can present your Velocity Card, in order for the information to be entered into the booking.
