So, as per the title of this thread, what is the value of a Velocity point?
My simple rule for QF is about 2-4c for classic redemptions in J/F, <1c for goods/vouchers

For VA.
The Cash Value is 0.55c per point. ($100 voucher, 18000pts)

Then taking as an example MEl-SYD 1Jun 8am.
Y Saver $149 or 9100 pts or 5800pts + 21.11
J $699 or 15000 pts or 11700 + 21.11

Y All points 1.64c / C&P 2.21c, J All Points 4.66c / C&P 5.79c
