If you’ve ordered a meal at a pub recently, you may have used the me&u service. The me&u service is one that allows you to order from your table through the use of QR codes. The QR code links you to web pages where you can order off a menu, then pay with your credit card.
Now, me&u has teamed up with Velocity to offer points when you make an eligible purchase at one of the thousands of pubs across Australia using the system. Maybe even better, there’s 100 Velocity Points on offer for simply linking your accounts.
You can link your accounts through the me&u website.
Me&u and Velocity
Earning Points
The 100 Velocity points instantly credit to your account after linking whilst the ongoing points should arrive within 24 hours of each eligible order. The overall process is fairly simple:
- Link you me&u account with your Velocity accounts.
- This can be done either by scanning the QR code in venue or through the me&u and Velocity linking form.
- You will earn 100 Velocity Points when you first link your accounts
- Once linked, you will earn 1 Velocity Point per $5 spent when ordering eligible food and drinks at participating me&u venues.
Redeeming Points
You have the option of using your Velocity points to pay for your meal, and you can do this through the Velocity App. That said, like most Pay with Points options, you don’t get the best value for your points. You are generally better off keeping your points for flight rewards. But it’s always an option.
Final Words
Given it’s a set and forget system, it’s a pretty easy way to earn Velocity Points. Order a meal at a participating eatery, and the points will lob into your account.
That said, at 1 Velocity Point for every $5 you spend, it may only ever be a trickle of points. However, you don’t have to do anything extra to get the points. If you’re eating out at a participating establishment, the points are yours. Well, the will be – once you make an eligible purchase, you should get the Velocity Points within 24 hours.
Pay with a points earning card, and there are even more points to be earned. Just be wary of gift cards – using one will mean “no points for you”.
Overall, it may not be a great earner, but every bit counts, and I’ve signed up.
