I'm using the $VAR -> ~VAR feature but ~VAR isn't completed. How to fix
this?

Would need more information on what you are doing.
$VAR contains a literal string ~VAR which happens to be a named directory?
if so, that wouldn't work since variables expansions aren't subjected to
further expansions.

This works for me:
VAR=/tmp
cd ~VAR
Have you enabled auto_name_dirs with setopt?
Cheers,

If you mean that
% cd ~V<TAB>
does not complete to
% cd ~VAR
then that's confusing, because it certainly works for me, even if the
value of $VAR doesn't point to an existing location.
If you mean something else, e.g. as Eric speculated, you're going to
have to tell us.
