Just logged in to my AMEX account and saw this flash sale offer.

Don't need to many words for this, since this is always popular.

Edit: I just received email from Velocity as well, so this is not a targeted offer.

    If you plan to sell it on here, it is worth transferring and sell your velocity points. 15% extra.

        Dennis might be referring to this link:

        It's against the rules of the rewards program to sell points but it isn't illegal.

  Targeted possibly? I don’t see it in my account anywhere. Where did you notice it please?

    I just have the email from Velocity themselves so I don't think it is targeted.

      I got the e-mail as well

  MR point is different to other Amex card points such as Explorer?

  • 

    Turd on 01/02/2018 - 10:46

    Same

      I thought it's different? Explorer is from the MR Gateway program which is less value compared to Ascent

        +1

        It’s all Membership Rewards though although the conversion rate is different for Ascent vs Gateway, the former being the more favourable one for freq flyer point transfer.

  Can anyone explain if the 15% bonus points is just a normal bonus held regularly?? Stockpiling qantas points for the next yr before heading to velocity but if 15% is just the standard bonus isnt it better to stockpile amex mr and have it flexible to transfer to other airline reward programs if we choose to not go with velocity??i believe it can be tf to asia miles and other airlines??

  No way to go through some transfers to get it into qantas ff.?

  Likely targeted? when i log into amex there is no mention of 15%.

  Don't think it's targeted, just log into your account > Rewards > Travel > Frequent Traveller Partners and you'll see that Velocity has been marked with a bonus banner. Click on the overview to see details. Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/i8zv7s
