Best use of 600k altitude points

[Chrisg55]

Have over 600k of altitude points and thinking of closing the card down

I have Singapore airlines points as a thought though the expiry is an issue also collect velocity points

Can you recommend a good use of these

Welcome to AFF.

If you are not in a hurry to close the card you could wait for the next bonus offer for Velocity transfers. (There was one recently but not sure if Westpac was participating).

Velocity good because you can boop them over to Singapore quickly for redemptions (keep an eye on the Krisflyer Spontaneous Escapes deals ... great value).

Think with velocity you can also book Qatar.

They are though I’m pretty sure it’s 3:1 so I’m unsure of the advantage over going straight to KF

Main advantages are no expiry and ability to book on other airlines like Qatar/United.

Main disadvantages are higher carrier charges, less availability on Singapore & later access to Singapore award flights.

Got it so you say do it when they have the 15% bonus and go from there
