So I was studying the velocity points 15% bonus transfer offer going on right now. Virgin has a handy calculator page where you can plug in your bank, card type and outstanding points. One thing that strikes me is it shows the minimum transferable point for various cards.

I think this is a very valuable metric when deciding to choose a card. I am lucky that ANZ is only 2 pts as my card is new and have less than 5000 pts. So far I have found out

  • ANZ - 2 pts
  • AMEX - 2000 pts
  • Flybuys / Coles MC = 2000 pts
  • NAB - 3000 pts
  • St George/BoM/BankSA - 3000 pts (auto redemption only)
  • CBA - 3600 pts
  • HSBC - 5000 pts
  • Diners - 7500 pts
  • Citibank - 20000 pts
  • Westpac - 25000 pts
  • Suncorp - 25000 pts
  • BOQ - 30000 pts

    The 2-3k ones are workable but some of the higher ones are pretty ridiculous

    Yeah it's a pain on Velocity. We recently had a holiday in Fiji so had 5 cards with points but I couldn't put them together until I got to 5000. I got there through ebay shopping in the end.

    Well worth doing. Every time you go to buy online - check the velocity web store first. You can buy whitegoods from major retailers' ebay stores and collect points through velocity. It added up quickly, then I transferred the points to each family member and eventually back to me.

    I did not they have family pooling which would avoid this so will set that up before our next flight.
