You guys probably got excited when you seeing my thread tittle... well I also got very excited when I saw this advertisement

That’s actually not a terribly exciting promotion, though the marketing surrounding it is hilarious. Basically, Virgin Australia is claiming that this was intended to be a million point giveaway, but that an intern screwed it up and instead made it a billion point giveaway.
Of course this is all made up since you’re just getting a 15% bonus on the points you transfer, so it’s not like you’re getting a certain percentage of a million (or a billion) points. I suppose that if people transfer 6.5 billion points to Velocity then they are indeed “giving away” a billion points, though in the process they’d be getting an insane amount of revenue for the transferred points. So they could have just as easily called it a trillion point giveaway.......
