Velocity Frequent Flyer has traditionally given a bonus each May and November to encourage members to transfer points across from a credit card program.

Like clockwork, a new offer has just gone live:


You need to make at least one manual transfer in both November and December to get the bonus points.

This one is only on manual transfers, and the bonus is only 10%. In previous promos it's been at least 15%. Flybuys is not a participating program for this offer.

According to the T&Cs, "Bonus Points will be allocated to the member’s Velocity account by 31 January 2025."
 
Won't do this from my Citi Premier, which can convert into KF (at 2.5:1), Velocity (at 2:1) or Flybuys. Rather keep the powder dry for a couple of US J awards on SQ...

I have points with Amplify that I want to transfer across to an airline before closing my card. The choices are Velocity (2:1 rate) or KrisFlyer (3:1 rate). In my case, it makes sense to transfer to Velocity at the 10% bonus because, even if I end up transferring those points onwards from VA to SQ, I'll still end up with more in my KrisFlyer account than if I just transfer directly from Amplify to KrisFlyer.
 
I have transferred 2 CBA points into 1 VA point to trigger the first month requirement and then can decide in December.

I was going to sweep some points using this 10% bonus promotion but forgot about. Just got a push notification for a deal for 15% bonus points if I do my "first ever auto-transfer". I don't think I've ever done an auto-transfer with Velocity so I guess I'll take that up.

Thanks, found it in the app.
It refers to transfer from velocity only, so not sure if it is for "first ever" auto from velocity, of "first ever" ever.
