I had 156,850 Velocity points expire on 2nd OCT 2024.
I had received an email advice from AwardWallet advising that these points would expire 18/11/24. So I logged into my Velocity account online and verified that the previous activity was an addition of 14,437 points on 18/11/22 from Loyaltyco.
I figured - incorrectly - that this activity meant that I had to add points activity before expiry on 18/11/24 - which I did on 03/10/24 via a Flybuys transfer.
Unfortunately the activity on/from 18/11/22 through the addition of 14,437 points by Loyaltyco is not deemed to be a qualifying activity by the Velocity program even though it is listed as an activity on the Velocity statements.
There was no indication that the points addition on 18/11/22 was not a qualifying activity on the statement.
So, my points expired. I have sought to have the points re-instated due to the confusing activity on 18/11/22 by corresponding directly with the CEO of Velocity - with no response nor any reply.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to try and have these expired points re-instated - or is it a lost cause due to my confusion as to what constitutes a qualifying activity.
I await anyone's helpful advice.
Many thanks and Happy Christmas.

It's easy to keep your Points fresh
Yes Points can expire after 24 months of account inactivity. That means no eligible earnings or redemptions for two whole years.
Every time you earn, redeem or buy Points, you’re refreshing your account balance for another 24 months! A single Point in or a single Point out is all it takes.
Points transferred from a Family Pool, Family Points Transfers, and earning Status Credits won’t stop your Points from expiring
Once Points have expired, they cannot be reinstated. Your Points expiry will not result in closure of your Velocity account.
