Velocity Partners With QBE Insurance: Up To 40,000 Points On New Policies

Velocity has launched a new partnership with QBE Insurance, giving members the chance to earn thousands of bonus Velocity Points simply by taking out eligible insurance policies. The offer spans several insurance types, including car, home, landlord and small business protection.

Until 28 February 2026, customers can earn up to 40,000 Velocity Points per policy, with the ability to take out multiple types of insurance and receive bonus points on each one. For many, that represents a significant travel boost, with these points enough for a one-way Virgin Australia Business Class flight from Sydney to Perth, Fiji or Queenstown.

The partnership is an easily accessible way for Velocity flyers to boost their Points balance on essentials they would be purchasing anyway. As always, Flight Hacks recommends you do your homework before signing up. Points are a great perk, but it’s important to compare coverage, exclusions, excesses and pricing across multiple providers to find a policy that genuinely suits your needs.

QBE Australia Pacific MD of Consumer, Jo Hatcher, touted the new offer as a win for travellers.

“This agreement makes it easier for members to access trusted insurance solutions…we're able to connect with millions of Australians through a program they already know and value."

Velocity CEO Nick Rohrlach explained the partnership as a way for members to find more value from every dollar they spend.

"We're always looking for ways to reward our members in everyday moments that matter…essentials like home, car or business insurance can earn members tens of thousands of Velocily Points, helping millions of Australians make the most of the cover they already pay for.”

How To Earn Velocity Points With QBE Insurance

You can earn Velocity Points on the following QBE Insurance products:

• Comprehensive Car Insurance

In most cases, QBE offers an initial hit of Velocity Points for taking out a policy, and then a further bonus if you renew the policy after a year.

To receive further allocation of bonus Velocity Points after 12 months, you must renew the policy and continue to hold the policy for 90 days after renewal, and have made a renewal payment.

For both the new policy and renewal bonus, Velocity Points will be credited to your account within 95 days of the start or renewal date.
