Second Airline Points Transfer Partner?

[roby]

Is VA working on a second airline partner that you can transfer FFP points from? Under the Points Transfer menu a second partner is showing as CO's CO program. If it was EY, perhaps I would move all my shopping to Coles now. Interesting!

I reckon it's even money if it's a new airline transfer option or just the usual flamboyant stuff up on the web site!

You beat me to it! I even prepared a screenshot. I'm intrigued... (currently returns an error)

It's really hard to tell sometimes with Velocity whether it's the start of something exciting and innovative, or just another IT error. I'm hoping it's the former.

Sometimes it's both!

Gone again - now just a question of whether it was a complete stuff up, or someone pushed something to the prod system before it was either announced or ready...

The new Velocity CEO did say that they would announce something big in the near future....

The most likely candidate is probably Etihad Guest one would think - it would make quite a lot of sense given the Flybuys tie up.

If it's Air New Zealand Airpoints, I'm not sure why one would bother unless the conversion rate is stupidly good - ~470,000 AMEX MR points for a return Business Class flight MEL-LAX is just nuts.

Like a workable website? ðŸ
