Our top Valentine’s Day picks to earn bonus points

This Valentine’s Day, why not treat your significant other — or even just yourself — and earn some bonus frequent flyer points along the way? We’ve collated the best point bonuses on offer for flowers, perfume, jewellery and more.

No matter what you get, don’t forget to complete the purchase with a points-earning credit card so you can effectively double-dip on purchases.

Qantas Shopping deals

The Valentine’s Day hub is live on Qantas Shopping, with up to 13 Qantas Points per dollar spent available at many brands (although most stores are only offering 1-2 points above the usual per-dollar rate). Here’s a selection of deals.

Need to organise some flowers?

• 7 points per $1 at LVLY (usually 5 points)
• 8 points per $1 at Edible Blooms (usually 6 points)

 Velocity e-Store deals

Unlike Christmas, this year’s Velocity e-Store deals for Valentine’s Day are somewhat more subdued, with limited bonus offers and a lower points earning rate than Qantas Shopping.

For flowers and other similar gifts, earn bonus Velocity Points at these retailers:

• 3 points per $1 at LVLY (usually 2 points)
• 4 points per $1 at Edible Blooms (usually 2 points)
• 4 points per $1 at Interflora (usually 2 points)

Here are some of the remaining bonus points offer, which covers tech, experiences and body products:

• 5 points per $1 at Groupon (usually 2 points)
• 5 points per $1 at Microsoft (usually 2 points)
• 3 points per $1 at The Body Shop (usually 2 points)
• 8 points per $1 at Cue (usually 2 points)

Don’t forget to browse the Velocity Wine Store for offers as well, which has sparkling bundles of 2 or 3 bottles, including Champagne.
