    Does this work for transferring Westpac Altitude points to Velocity every month over 3 months (Nov, Dec, Jan) ?
    I have 500k Altitude points which I have no idea what to use them for.. is this a good way to use them?
    I am confused with all these points game lol

    • ThePointsGuru on 08/11/2023 - 22:33

      If you are planning to book a reward seat with Virgin or their partners in the near future then transferring them to Velocity is a good idea.

      • OzFrugie on 14/11/2023 - 00:15

        Thanks for your suggestion.
        I do have plan to use velocity points. Atm I have around 160k, thinking of redeeming for next year / xmas break fam holiday.

        Bit off topic, when do reward seats usually start being offered? I heard a year before depature date, is that correct?
        Do I simply go to airline website and try to find ticket in normal manner?

        Sorry I am bit new to this point game!

        Cheers

          Normally, rewards seats are open between 330 to 355 days before departure depending on the Airline. You can redeem Velocity points on Virgin Australia and its partner Airlines like Singapore Air, Qatar, United, and many more.

          You can book using the Virgin Australia website by selecting the "Use points" toggle while doing the search.

          • OzFrugie on 26/11/2023 - 16:36

            @ThePointsGuru: hey mate, since you are knowledgeable in this point game thing, may I ask more please if you don't mind?

            do you know if there is such thing as alert system when it comes to reward seats, e.g. it notifies me when rewards seat open, or give a heads-up x number of days/week prior so that I dont miss out?

            also, do you think I should convert all my Westpac Altitude to Velocity at this time to take advantage of the 20% bonus pts, or should I wait for better deal (assuming there is a higher bonus pts) ?
            Or, save some to convert for Qantas FF points as well rather than all-in Velocity?

            Your advice is much appreciated for a newbie like myself.
            Thanks!

              Some services, like ExpertFlyer and maybe seats.aero? But they're not simple to use

              Definitely worth it. Don't think you can transfer to QFF from Westpac rewards.

              • OzFrugie on 22/12/2023 - 18:01

                @Autonomic: Thanks mate for your insights.

                Do reward seats work for high season eg xmas period or they have blackout period?

  • zan5hin on 04/11/2023 - 02:19

    Interesting if someone can do the calcs on AMEX now KF is devalued, if still better off going AMEX to KF or via Velocity.

    • ninja33 on 25/11/2023 - 17:42

      I did the calc just now - it's better to do it with this bonus. The transfer rate with Amex to KF is 3:1, whereas via Velocity it will be 2.58:1. It used to be 2:1, so it's clearly not as good as that (it would need to be a ~50% bonus to be that good), but better than 3:1.

  • Big L on 04/11/2023 - 20:40

    I just worked out how to do an automated transfer directly to Virgin, I'd been doing it via Flybuys the whole time.

  • furakoph on 06/11/2023 - 10:25

    What if you manully transfer from different banks for each month?

    • ThePointsGuru on 08/11/2023 - 22:31
      +1

      Below is from the FAQ's

      Yes, if you manually transfer from one of the Participating Partners in November, you can choose to transfer from this partner again, or from different Participating Partners in December and January.

  • Focus8 on 09/11/2023 - 00:21

    Wonder what's the cycle of month auto transfer ?

    Just opted in for auto , but bit afraid that if I miss the transfer cycle this month as it's already Nov, then won't be qualifed for 3 months thing?

    Or I guess opt in after 1/11 ,should be enough ?

    Thanks!!

  • ClownCar on 11/11/2023 - 13:30

    Will I still get the 20% bonus with auto transfer if I close my ANZ credit card right after my points auto transfer? It makes no mention of this scenario in the terms and conditions.

    • arcticmonkey on 12/11/2023 - 06:33

      Might have to phone them up and ask if not in the t and c.

  • Bargainseeker43 on 21/11/2023 - 20:42

    have you got your bonus points after auto transfer from ANZ?
    I am also planning to close my ANZ credit card now.

  • Bargainseeker43 on 21/11/2023 - 20:43

    How long does it take to receive bonus points after receiving base points? I am asking regarding Auto transfer?

    Thank you

  • robhung on 21/11/2023 - 22:57

    Just went into Citi rewards to perform a manual transfer, and for Velocity points, it actually has an 'autosweep' function.. surprised Velocity didn't put them on the auto-transfer bucket.

    • 1bargain on 28/11/2023 - 14:50

      If I transfer from Citibank today, when do you think they will receive? Does the transferred points need to be in Velocity account by 31/11/23?

      • robhung on 29/11/2023 - 11:31
        +1

        The transfer just needs to be initiated by 31/11/23. Points landed 2 days after my transfer, and I got a confirmation email 1 day after the points landed.

        • 1bargain on 29/11/2023 - 13:03

          Thanks (:

  • Westpac on 22/11/2023 - 13:55

    Can anyone share their experience with ANZ rewards Auto Transfer? I’m wondering:

    1. If I activate Auto Transfer and then close my card, will I still get the bonus points?

    2. Does Auto Transfer apply to points already in my account, or just to points earned after turning it on?

    Would really appreciate any insights on this

  • Duece1995 on 27/11/2023 - 13:16

    I had 120k points in my Nab account and transferred to Velocity yesterday. Only received 60k VFF points. No bonus 20%

    • SydOzber on 27/11/2023 - 13:22

      Was it automatically done or manual ?

      Also you may or may not be eligible if it was a new card got during the promo - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14506880/redir

      Bonus points will be credited on 29/02/2024

      • Duece1995 on 27/11/2023 - 13:27

        It was automatically applied. Thanks for the heads up.

    • JHoliday on 27/11/2023 - 14:56

      The you need to do it 3 months in a row to get the bonus points

  • itsfree on 28/11/2023 - 14:26

    I forgot about this offer until today. ANZ Rewards takes up to 5 business days for the transfer apparently. Is it too late for me and I should just wait for the next offer?

    Edit: Looks like not necessarily:
    T&Cs:

    Members must initiate a points transfer in each of the three calendar months to meet the offer requirements.

    Also, this previous comment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/12851370/redir

  • Terra Australis on 20/12/2023 - 11:12

    Thanks OP. Anz auto today. Forgot citi november unfortunately. Might just keep citi for now or go krisflyer

    • tunzafun001 on 21/12/2023 - 00:39

      Citi are now technically NAB.

      • Terra Australis on 21/12/2023 - 07:38

        Does that mean you can auto transfer citi prestige points?

        • tunzafun001 on 21/12/2023 - 10:20

          I'd say yes..but I'm not Velocity, Citi or NAB. Guessing it's still Citi branded..BUT..they have already sent out a replacement NAB branded card..

          So don't know

        • diazepam on 21/12/2023 - 12:35

          I forgot citi in Nov as well.
          I dont think so, they aren't NAB credits.

  • diazepam on 21/12/2023 - 12:36

    thinking if I should just bite the bullet and transfer out given I'm using payall for points and the NAB takeover…

  • arcticmonkey on 01/01/2024 - 18:39

    Reminder for month 3. I am coming up to my end of year with the card so I transferred the lot.

      I'm waiting until tomorrow to transfer. At the time of this post it is still December in some countries.

      • Ehty on 03/01/2024 - 11:43

        I transferred on 1st Jan (afternoon AWST) , but its showing 31/12 on Velocity statement!!

        • arcticmonkey on 03/01/2024 - 16:41

          I'm in the exact same position.

          What can we do here? I'm on the phone to Citi but their offshore team is useless.

          Is an AFCA complaint the only thing that can be done here?

          • Ehty on 03/01/2024 - 16:51

            @arcticmonkey: Check your transaction activity ( click on summary) on Velocity, It should show something like below, I chatted with Velocity rep and they confirmed it should be okay

            Activity date 31-Dec-2023 Process date 3-Jan-2024 Description REWARDS POINTS TRANSFER

            • arcticmonkey on 03/01/2024 - 16:56

              @Ehty: Thanks mate. I've been on with Citi for over half an hour. The offshore bloke is struggling to provide a resolution. I don't think he understands what is going on so I hope you're right.

              I emailed Velocity as well.

            • arcticmonkey on 03/01/2024 - 17:03

              @Ehty: I have the same dates as you in Velocity.

              It seems strange they are saying to use the process date. If you transferred at the end of the month and it kicked into the next month, what would happen?

                • arcticmonkey on 04/01/2024 - 11:48

                  @daanish: Thanks for sharing. Seems like they allowed a day's grace at the start of the campaign but I'm not sure how this would work for month 3.

                  I was on with Citi for over an hour yesterday and the bloke provided no suitable resolution. He even refused to provide a complaint number.

                  I've reported this to AFCA as the Citi/NAB agents are useless in my view.

                  I've transferred all of my points but I have a PayAll transaction processing shortly so I'll make a transaction once that's processed.

                  Does anyone know how long it takes for Citi points to be added after a PayAll transaction is processed?

  • timhn on 04/01/2024 - 07:55

    Dang, completely missed out this deal.

    So my bonus points from Westpac just landed today. I was about to do transfer to Velocity but reread the T&Cs closely and realised that, for manual transfer, you must do once in each month starting from Nov.

    • ThePointsGuru on 04/01/2024 - 11:15

      probably wait for the next offer in May

  • cuteduck on 06/01/2024 - 14:12

    Has anyone received the bonus points yet?

      With Citi and the same. I’ll give it until mid/late Feb for it to work itself out. The proof is in my velocity account transactions, and I assume in yours (and other people’s), so need need to panic yet.

      • TimeOrMoney on 01/02/2024 - 21:37

        Bonus Points will be allocated the member's Velocity account by 29 February 2024.

        Yeah sure, but I don't think I'll feel confident about this until the points are sitting in my account.

        Let us know what answer you get.

    • bk1973 on 03/02/2024 - 14:39

      My bonus points came through today (I had checked yesterday, but nothing). All were points were transferred via Citi to Velocity in Nov, Dec and Jan. Never got an email or anything. It all just worked out as it’s supposed to. Just need to be patient.

  • hanofee on 17/01/2024 - 09:59

    For the 3 months manual transfer (I'm with Citi), it doesn't have to be same amount each month, right? E.g: I only transferred 10k each for the past 2 months, but I can transfer bigger amount this month and should get 20% bonus for the total (all 3 transfer)?

    • krazek on 24/01/2024 - 15:56

      I'm assuming… I did small amounts in the first 2 months and just dumped all my points in January into Velocity

      • hanofee on 01/02/2024 - 19:32

        Wow, I transferred all my points (had 300k of Citi) a few days back and my account is now suspended, can't even login. Not sure why, either someone hacked my account or if it's related to that big transfer. I called Velocity CS, and all they can say is: my account had unusual activity and pending investigation, so they wouldn't disclose anything further at this stage and will contact me within 13 days.

    • hibiscus on 03/02/2024 - 01:07

    • TimeOrMoney on 03/02/2024 - 03:27

      I did manual transfers with Citi and auto transfers with NAB. Received the expected bonus for the manual transfers, but still not received the bonus for the auto transfers.

      Confirmed this from the FAQ.

      If I manually transfer in November and/or December and then opt in to auto-transfer with a Participating Partner, will I receive a 20% bonus on all 3 months of transfers?
      You will receive a 20% bonus on all points transferred via auto-transfer during the campaign period. If you manually transfer with Participating Partners each month for three months in a row during the Promotion Period, you will also receive a 20% bonus.

      Emphasis mine. So we should get both sets of bonus points, but like previous poster said, probably just the processing queue.
