Don't transfer points (Velocity Email)

[andyhui01]

Looks like VA is having a massive promo on the 1st May. Just got an Email.

Supposed to be "record breaking deal". I am guessing better than the standard 15% bonus they offer throughout the year. For a company not doing that well, I'm surprised they want a massive liability on their balance sheet at the EOFY.

I'd say it'll be coupled with a bigger discount of award flights .

Or they could do with the wad of cash the banks will be paying them....

I'm with the OP - guessing bigger (than 15%) transfer bonus coming up ...

They have had as high as 30% in the past, though for larger amounts-

• 1 to 50,000 Velocity Points = 15% Bonus
• 50,001 to 100,000 Velocity Points = 20% Bonus
• 100,001 to 250,000 Velocity Points = 25% Bonus
• 250,000+ Velocity Points = 30% Bonus

Must be a long time ago as I don't remember that. But if it was the same deal, 30% bonus here I come

Yes they will have 5 seats available for all year instead of just 2.

My poor FB balance is so low...

The email said Card and Hotel Partners which makes me wonder if FB would be included?

Last year was able to transfer my FB over the annual transfer cap with a 15% bonus. Hoping will have the same offer again this year as I’m not keen to keep them in FB forever. That would be a nice bonus

Oh yeah, I didn't read the email properly.

Received the email. I was thinking announcement of a new partner.

Does anyone keep a high Flybuys balance? I've got over 50,000 points as I'm undecided if Velocity is best option or take the $ discount from weekly shopping.
