25% Centurion Bonus, AMEX to Velocity. May 2016

[Mr_Fitz]

Hi all, I just got an email from my RM informing me that Centurion members will receive an automatic transfer bonus of 25% instead of the current 15% promo when transferring from AMEX to Velocity during the month of May 2016.

Mmmm. Sweet sweet bonus points.

Just received notification of same for Platinum Charge.

ANZ is doing 35%...

Just received notification of same for Platinum Charge.

Me too and it is retrospective to anyone who has made a transfer from the 1st of May.

With ANZ offering 35% and now AMEX offering 25% there are going to be some bumper velocity points balances going around.

The 25% would be nice but then again EY has a lower redemption rate for some VA flights so YMMV.

Really tempted, but changing to KF for SQ J flights into Asia is pretty good...

I got mine in email on 6th May.

Email here too, but it certainly didn't look targeted so I'd be almost certain that it is open to all plat charge card holders

I just transferred some points across and the transfer page only mentioned 15% bonus, no reference to 25%. So maybe the email was targeted......
