Dreaming of a tropical escape? It’s time to round up your friends and make it happen. Velocity Frequent Flyer is offering one lucky member and 100 of their closest mates a trip to Hamilton Island in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. And yes, everything’s included: return flights, accommodation and activities.

The catch? You only need to earn one Velocity Point during the month of June 2024 to be in the running for this massive prize.

The aim of this initiative is to forge companionship. So if you’ve got family or friends you haven’t seen in a while, a birthday or wedding coming up, or team building to do, an island resort could be the perfect spot to catch up, unwind, and earn some serious brownie points while you’re at it.

A prize of this scale is a first for Velocity Frequent Flyer, with the program’s CEO Nick Rohrlach ‘thrilled to be bringing such an exciting opportunity to our members’.

‘Loyalty works both ways, and we are really focused on doing things differently at Velocity to reward our members fast. This competition shows just how valuable Points are to members to redeem on their next flight, hotel or holiday – and all you need to do is earn one Point for a chance to win.’

The prize is valued at over $150,000, and the winner will receive:

  • Return Economy flights to Hamilton Island from the winner’s closest domestic port serviced by Virgin Australia.
  • 3 nights stay for 101 people at the Reef View Hotel in Hamilton Island.
  • Accommodation includes the use of catamarans, windsurfers, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment.

For more information on how to win a trip to Hamilton Island and full competition terms and conditions, visit the Velocity Frequent Flyer website.

Ready to enter the competition? All you have to do is earn Velocity Points – even just a single one will do – during the entire month of June. For each Velocity Point you earn, you’ll automatically receive one entry into the draw!

How to earn Velocity Points

You can earn Velocity Points by flying with Virgin Australia and its partner airlines. But you can also easily earn Velocity Points on the ground by transferring Flybuys points, filling up on fuel at 7-Eleven, riding with DiDi, shopping through the Velocity e-Store or using a credit card that earns Velocity Points.

Our guide covers all the best ways to earn Velocity Points in Australia.

The draw is open to Velocity Frequent Flyer members, aged 18 and over who are Australian residents. You must also earn one Velocity Point during the month of June 2024. There is a cap of 10 entries per eligible Velocity member (10 separate instances of a member earning Velocity Points.)
