If I were to pay at BP using my Velocity GlobalWallet card, would I only be a...
May 25, 2015, 12:50 AMI think so... because you first swipe your Velocity Card (before the EFT Terminal is activated), then you say you're paying on-card, so the operator would then activate the terminal - so to me, you would be able to get 1 point for $2 on Global Wallet and then 2 points per litre of fuel, not to me...
