Transfer flybuys Points to Velocity - up to 20% Bonus Points - (No Cap)

127

Just received the following email from Velocity. Clicking on the FlyBuys transfer page, it does not look like the bonus points calculate on here. So maybe same as the last one where the bonus points will magically appear on your Velocity balance.

Transfer more and boost your bonus

Transfer your flybuys points to Velocity by 31 July 2020 and receive up to 20% bonus Velocity Points. The more you transfer, the more you'll earn.

2,000 to 100,000 flybuys points = 15% bonus
Over 100,000 flybuys points in a single transaction = 20% bonus

Plus, there is no maximum limit on how many flybuys points you can transfer to Velocity in the month of July (in increments of 2,000 flybuys points). The limit will be reapplied in August 2020 with any flybuys points transferred in July to be included in the standard yearly limit of 138,000 flybuys points.


Terms and Conditions

*Velocity Frequent Flyer members will receive tiered bonus Velocity Points when they transfer their flybuys points to their linked Velocity account between 12:01am (AEST) 1 July and 11:59pm (AEST) 31 July 2020 (Promotion Period).
Tiered bonus Velocity Points are calculated as a percentage depending on the amount of transferred flybuys points in any one transfer during the Promotion Period, as follows:

2,000 to 100,000 flybuys points (being 870 to 43,500 Velocity Points) = 15% bonus Velocity Points

Over 100,000 flybuys points (being over 43,500 Velocity Points) = 20% bonus Velocity Points

Velocity Frequent Flyer members must link their Velocity membership to their flybuys household to transfer their flybuys points to Velocity Points and must remain linked until the end of the Promotion Period. Only one Velocity membership can be linked to a flybuys household at any one time. Linked households may transfer a minimum of 2,000 flybuys points (being 870 Velocity Points) per redemption and must transfer in increments of 2,000 flybuys points. For the month of July 2020 only, flybuys points transferred during the Promotion Period will be excluded from the calculation of the maximum limit on transfers to Velocity of 138,000 flybuys points (being 60,030 Velocity Points) per household, per calendar year, after the Promotional Period flybuys points transferred including those transferred within the promotional period will be calculated towards the maximum limit on transfer per household per calendar year. No fractions of Velocity Points will be allocated, only whole Velocity Points. Tiered bonus Velocity Points will be calculated as a percentage of the base number of Velocity Points you will receive when you convert your flybuys points to Velocity Points during the Promotion Period. Visit flybuys.com.au/velocity to transfer flybuys points. flybuys points transferred for Velocity Points will be credited to the linked Velocity account. Standard flybuys Terms and Conditions apply to the collection of flybuys points. Standard Velocity membership Terms and Conditions apply once points are transferred to Velocity.

  • Basic conversion rate before bonus
    1000 flybuys = 870 VA points

      How so?

      2,000 to 100,000 flybuys points (being 870 to 43,500 Velocity Points)

        Great! gilbarc gets 3 positives and I get sweet FA, lol. Yeah, I know, it's just the way the OzBargain cookie crumbles.

        • +1

          Lol, was definitely expecting some neg action. Was not disappointed.

            @strangeloops66: …wear your negs with pride!
            (i gave you a couple +s)😉

            • @franco cozzo: 3 in fact!. Thanks, although I hope no one else +s the one that is now -1, otherwise I'll have nothing to wear…

      1000 flybuys = 870 VA points

      Think you mean 2000 flybuys = 870 VA points 🙂

      • My bad. Ooops

  • +4

    Where's velocity at at the moment? Last I heard they had stopped redemptions at the velocity store and obviously there's little flying going on at the moment…

  • +5

    What's the point of transfering right now.

    You can only redeem on flights from September 1, all other redemptions are currently suspended.

    • +1

      The 15/20% bonus points and the removal of the transfer limit is only available this month.

  • +15

    Is this meant to be a joke post? Given the issues with Velocity I would actually be trying to transfer the other way to get out of Velocity at the moment?

  • +1

    The real question is what will Velocity points be worth in terms of flight redemptions under the new VA?

    Has anyone seen anything re this? I have just under 100k flybuys at the moment so can give cracking that barrier a red hot go for 20% velocity conversion if redemption rates stay the same, otherwise I'll probably just convert the flybuys points into coles shop dollars (unless there's better value in doing something else)?

    • The real question is what will Velocity points be worth in terms of flight redemptions under the new VA?

      Probably be similar to Qantas. Unless Qantas goes for a massive devaluation.

      For a seat from A to B depending on what revamped Virgin looks like (half way house between Jetstar and Qantas) then you might be paying the same for less.

    it's a trap!

    • +1

      Transfer your FlyBuys points to me. I'll take real nice care of them.

  • not a great idea given the situation at virgin. wouldnt u feel your points are safer in the hands of Coles/Westfarmers?

  • +5

    Velocity points are uncertain. More value if you use it straight at coles checkout.

  • +1

    Still waiting for my 300 k velocity pts for early june flight that got cancelled

  • +10

    I came here to see the OP get ripped for the spelling of transfer. Not a single comment, well done OZBargainers what great manners!

    • +1

      I thought that was how you spell it? Nothing to see here:-)

    • ….wtf is a Trasnfer?? 🤬

      • +2

        It's a term Trump might use in his late night Tweets.

  • +4

    Would rather transfer Velocity to Flybuys with -20% penalty

  • +2

    Yeah this is not a bargain

  • +6

    Can't decide-transfer points or buy Enron shares. I'll ask my broker Bernie Madoff.

  • +1

    Only take up this offer if you have a specific rewards flight/upgrade in mind which is currently on offer.

    Otherwise you are just wasting your points. In any case, 20% bonus is not enough compensation for the essentially worthless Velocity points at present.

  • +2

    Hang on a sec. I can currently book a flight from SYD to BRI in business class for 15500 velocity points + $40 tax. Normally that would cost approx $350-$400.

    That values a velocity point at about 2.5c. Definitely not worthless.

    Am I missing something?

    • +1

      yep. the 14 days hotel own expense quarantine.

    • Does sound like a good deal, that is if Bain decides to retain business class.

  • Dont know why people are negging, it's an offer. Yes velocity points are questionable right now but it's still a bonus 20% on whatever you would usually get.

    • Only 20% bonus if transferring >100,000 flybuys. Otherwise 15%.

      • -1

        Your point being?

        • That it's not "a bonus 20% on whatever you would usually get" as you wrote.

  • +1

    No one in their right mind would do this.

  • +1

    Anyone game enough to do it?

  • Velocity is close to worthless now.
