Flash flybuys to velocity bonus

[Denali]

Hi,

there’s a 7 day 15% flybuy bonus from today (18-25/2).
I transfer 138000. And got them immediately in my Velocity account. And also got another 20% again? Not sure why but not complaining!

Cheers

And thanks for the heads up. Hubby was suffering from some point loss anxiety so this put him back where he was before I raided his account last week.

Me, Gold, 15%+15%
Wife, Red 20%+15%; instantaneous transfer

yep did 2000 1st & got +15% +20% & so did 100k

I had 137k ready to go (so close!) pending the next bonus. So after testing one 2k batch I moved a total of 136k with 20% and 15% bonuses for 79870 Velocity points. I did a few large transfers (sacrificing ~30 points from rounding-up on 2k transfers) because I didn't want the bonus bonus to get fixed before I was done. Thanks all for the heads-up.

Got email offer for 15%, transferred 2,000 and got 15% (870+131).
i am Velocity Red. Only had 5,000 flybuys points.

Brother who pools to me got 20% email.
he is also Velocity Red and had about 5,000 flybuys points
transferred 4,000 flybuys but only got 15% (1,740+261) rather than 20% which was shown in his email.

Same. So not only short changed by FB, we're missing out on all this extra goodies everyone is getting.

My email: 15% bonus
Mrs AS email: 20% bonus

Transferred mine and got 15%
Transferred Mrs AS and she got 15%

Sounds like they might be trying to fix it - and not doing a very good job......

Velocity gold here - email said 15% and that’s what I got.

 

[Denali]

Friend says he received only 15%

 

[Harthagan]

Well I'm surprised it stayed working as long as it did. The folks over at ozbargain hammered it as hard as they could.

Looks like the Flybuys website page for transferring points to Velocity is down right now?

Seems like this may have been fixed, but I forgot to include the datapoint that I'm Gold and my invite email mentioned the customary 15% rate.

I got no email and the flybuys page does not indicate any bonus points, previous promos have had a little badge/logo indicating the bonus points. I tried minimum points transfer and got 15% bonus (red level Velocity member). Transferred my remaining points and got the 15% bonus.

Strange that they didn't email all members about this offer, but appears to be valid for all members. No advertising on Velocity or flybuys about the offer.

Thanks to AFF.

Been now pointed to this thread and as advised in the other VFF 15% thread. I received 20% offer and are gold. Rest of the family who are Red didn't not receive an email.

I did a 2k transfer and only got 15%, not the 20% advised, so I've been ripped. About to travel O/S so too hard to follow up, but I'm sure many others will and hopefully be fixed in some remediation.

I'm Red. Email just arrived re 15% offer. Saw post yesterday and did the transfer. Got 15% and 20% extra in my velocity account.

Wow! The difference in points for a 2k transfer is like 43.33 velocity points.

True, but the difference if you transfer 138,000 flybuys points (the maximum) is around 3,000 Velocity points. Probably worth following up in that case.

I don't think status matters. Red across 4 accounts. About 250k Flybuys across 4 accounts transferred yesterday, got 15% + 20% bonus.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

I transferred yesterday but only got the standard 15%, red here

Glad to see everyone scoring double bonuses but this does not reflect my experience.
I responded to a 20% bonus offer, open until 25 February. Clicked through and did the transfer today but only received 15% bonus in my Velocity statement. Grrrr.
