Velocity members have a new points earning option with the announcement a of deal with streaming service Presto. Under the deal, subscribers to the Entertainment Package will be able to earn points during each month they remain subscribed to the package.
As part of the partnership, Velocity members will be able to sign up to Presto on a free one month trial. Following the trial, a bonus of 600 Velocity Points will be made in the first paid month of the subscription. That is to say, for the trial month there are no points to be earned.
Following the first paid month, members will receive 50 points per month while they remain on the paid Entertainment subscription.
Any existing members of the streaming service that are also Velocity members will earn the 50 points per month until the end of their Presto Entertainment subscription. Remember, that if you are not a Velocity member, it is free to join. Note, however, that existing Presto subscribers will not be eligible for the 600 first month bonus.
The new deal comes with a couple of caveats:
- the points are only available if you take up the Presto Entertainment package. If you take up the (cheaper) Presto TV or Presto Movies packages, you will not earn points
- The points are not available if you signed up via Telstra or Foxtel (which is likely to catch out a lot of the existing subscribers, such as myself)
The Presto Service
Presto is a streaming service operating on a month to month basis. There are a few package options, including the choice of either just movies, or just TV shows for $9.99 for each service per month. You can bundle the two as an Entertainment package with both TV AND Movies for $14.99 per month. As noted, points are only earned if opting into the Presto Entertainment package.
Velocity previously had a partnership with the QuickFlix service, although this ended last year.
