What to do with 750k Velocity with KF devaluation

[CPMaverick]

Tough call here, I don't know anything about KF, other than they allow *A and other SQ partner redemptions that VA doesn't have access to.

Don't KF points expire?

Don't KF points expire?

Yep, after 36 months IIRC, activity not witstanding.

I'll be transferring most, if not all, of my VA points across to KF - having made the earlier mistakes of taking advantage of the 15% bonuses from AMEX to VA - I should have left the points in AMEX and transferred direct to KF. No problems with planning for 2 x J awards to Europe sometime in the next 3 years (even though I will need a few extra points first).

Well tonight I started moving my 2 mil Velocity Points over.

Will leave the biggest chunk till later to maximise shelf life.

Not that I had many ANZ points left, but just gained their offer to match the velocity 15% offer, and so those points will earn an extra 30% to Velocity now, before being shunted on to KF. This gains 44% more points than transferring direct.

Late to this party but ill chime in with my very limited experience. From what ive seen velocity redemtpions are only good for a small niche of travellers. For domestic redempttions and spur of the moment or last minute redemptions to the US. I recently snagged 2 retirn business class redemptions SYD to LAX but had to be prepared to book last minute for travel within 2 weeks. That wont work for most but for me it does.

The only sour note for me is the introduction of the new "carrier charges"
