15% bonus is back (between 1/02/2018 and 14/02/2018)

I also had a not- insignificant flybuys points balance, and have been waiting for this to reappear. Slightly more than 3 clicks as I did it on an iPad, but rapt to see the base & regular points landed in my velocity account immediately.
Happy days!!

It'a a 15% bonus, not 125%

They have to jazz the whole thing up to justify the marketing team who do a great job of this approx every 6 months.

Fixed my big finger problems.
Well their great job irks this customer.

Why no CBA? I am fairly certain this is the first time I have not seen CBA included.

CBA did participate in every points transfer promotion but stopped doing so several years ago - since then, they've usually only participated in these offers once a year. One of the (many) reasons I now use my Amex-issued card a lot more than my CBA Diamond Amex.

Just to confirm, do I need to 'activate' anything or will that just apply automatically to any applicable point transfers?

My AMEX card should get reviewed on the 6th of Nov and I'm eligible for 100k points as one of the sign up bonuses, so it would be great to get 15k extra on that transfer too. Although I wonder if this is different as it isn't strictly an AMEX to velocity points transfer as far as I am aware. I might try to call them to see if I can get it processed manually to ensure it comes across in the promo period. Has anyone done this before?

A 20% bonus for Amex Ascent Premium customers (Platinum Charge or higher). The bonus has been higher on previous occasions...

Soooo my points from NAB transferred quickly on this one.

They also backdated the transfer I made yesterday on the 30th to the 29th - so there's no bonus!!!

Seriously?? I've been sitting on this card for 6 weeks waiting for this transfer.

Doesn't your NAB activity statement show the date the transfer was made? If it does you can use proof that you made the transfer on the 30th.

Yeah, it does. Says the 30th.

Suggest you email it to Velocity for them to correct and credit.

That's frustrating. I've been looking to get out of CBA Diamond Amex but I don't think a single card issuer will give me the limit that CBA gives me. I hit that limit every month and the fee free intl spend (90% of the card) is a great bonus.

Same thing happened to me with my citibank card...for some reason it shows as activity date being 29th Oct, not 30th. I transferred from my Amex on the same day, and that went through fine with 15% bonus already posted.

Unfortunately no such luck. Did the same thing last year so I double checked if there was time lag between the transfer and the bonus. Nope.

I got the email...and the follow up email. I'm waiting until the 25th or so to maximise points from FlyBuys, as all my CC are auto-transfers.

No real need to wait, as you can make multiple transfers.

 

[Fran&Tan]

I'm talking about the ridiculous expo link.Could they not just say 15% bonus,go to my card or flybuys and transfer.

Totally agree. It seems a bit of a silly marketing campaign

Fixed up by the 13th. Had to provide proof of transfer, but there wasn't too much hassle about it.

I like doing all program transfers at one time, nearing the end of the eligibility period. so I maximize number transferred (as there is often min transfers amounts like 2,000) Almost time for me to start sending points to VA.

Fair enough. I just transfer each time I go past the 2,000 mark in case I get caught up with stuff towards the end of the month. Achieves the same thing in terms of maximizing the number of points transferred.
