      The harder they make it the easier it will be for people to make a mistake and they won't have to pay up

    • Meovel on 01/05/2024 - 09:38

      isn't it two consecutive months?

        I am confused, why does it say 3 calendar months when the promotion only runs across 2 months

          The promo says "transfer in both months and earn 15% bonus Points on the total amount you transfer." not sure where the 3 months came from.

        • tunzafun001 on 01/05/2024 - 21:53

          @colt75 Because no one does any due diligence any more and promos are spat out by over worked imbeciles.

    • jimwh on 01/05/2024 - 15:42

      for auto transfer
      Velocity members will receive 20% bonus Velocity Points when they opt in to Auto-Transfer on their eligible credit card with their Participating Partner and automatically transfer points from their Participating Partner to Velocity into Velocity Points between 12:00am AEST 1 May 2024 and 11:59pm AEST 30 June 2024 (“Promotion Period”). Minimum points transfer required, transferred in one transaction.

      so you don't have to do two in two months if you setup the auto transfer?

  • zan5hin on 01/05/2024 - 01:13

    Perfect 15% off and then close off my Amex by July and close the ANZ in August ready for the next bonus chase

    • Bargain-er on 01/05/2024 - 08:14

      Do u have to wait for 18months to get next bonus?

      • zan5hin on 17/05/2024 - 15:26

        Yes. I used to have explorer card in 2020-21 then got Amex platinum signup bonus in 2023.

    • discountdong on 01/05/2024 - 09:42

      I've got some AMEX points as well with an AMEX explorer card, could you explain what you will be doing?
      will you just transfer the points and let it sit as velocity points?

      • zan5hin on 17/05/2024 - 15:27

        Transfer your points to velocity and let them sit.
        Then close your Amex account for 18 months.
        Then as a new customer in 2026 you can get another signup bonus for explorer/platinum/something else.

        • discountdong on 17/05/2024 - 16:16

          ok thanks I'll consider it. so best way to do it is set up autotransfer, 1x in May, 1x in June?

          and do you think velocity points is the best to transfer to from AMEX? obviously with this 15% it's even better

    I tried to upgrade my flight to business class using velocity points, I wasn't aware you could only be put on a waitlist after people paying actual money. Like I get it, but if you only travelled popular routes you could potentially never actually be able to use them.
    I've not been in a position to do it before so I don't know if that's a recent development, regardless I was a little taken aback.

    • Pikaloo on 01/05/2024 - 06:15

      You can use the points to redeem a full flight and those are mostly guaranteed.

      • vawiyoci on 01/05/2024 - 10:51

        This reminded me of people getting confused by the high 6/7 figure points+pay fares thinking those were the actual costs to redeem reward seats.

      Can confirm - transferred a small amount from CBA this morning and it hits velocity with a 30 April date. The date on CBA end is 1 May so will have to remember to follow up if the bonus doesn't come through.

      • tkboi on 01/05/2024 - 14:41

        did you transfer expecting 15% bonus? cos i dont think CBA is part of this redemption bonus?

        • tkboi on 01/05/2024 - 16:17

          nvm. the email i have recieved said CBA is part of it!

      Hi @daanish,

      Referring to your comment on this post 20% Bonus Velocity Points on Reward Points Transferred from Participating Partners @ Velocity Frequent Flyer, you mentioned that the transfer you did on the 1st November was shown as 31st October, Velocity said it will be included in bonus points calculation when you emailed them.

      Can you please advise if you actually got them in the end?

      I did my transfer for this new offer on 1st May but it was shown as 30th April… I have just emailed them and waiting for response.

      • jusoh on 02/05/2024 - 11:53

        @daanish not sure why I couldn’t tag you

        • daanish on 02/05/2024 - 12:46

          Hi - yes I did get my points as expected. No follow up was required.

  • KingPhil on 01/05/2024 - 08:18

    The participating partners list is significantly shorter than the manual transfer list. I'm with Citibank and they aren't on the auto transfer list, so stuck with 15% for manual transfer…

  • ComfortablyNumb on 01/05/2024 - 08:21

    Going to wait for 20% bonus on manual transfer again (Citi… payall….) disapointing….

    • tekisei on 01/05/2024 - 13:20

      Still a good offer seeing as I need to close my Citi Rewards (prev. Platinum) card before June so they don't charge me an annual fee.

  • oz123123 on 01/05/2024 - 08:29

    Possibly to get extra 15% for manual transfer by combining with 110000 pts point hack offer?

    There is reported comments for not opting in auto transfer and still getting normal citi points 220000

    I have not seen Flybuys transfer deals this year. It used to be every quarter.

  • meowmeowmeow on 01/05/2024 - 08:56

    Been waiting for this to close my St George Amplify. I think I just turned on auto-transfer to Velocity - the process is a bit confusing. Will find out when I get my next statement I guess, which is within the next 10 days.

  • jm888 on 01/05/2024 - 09:37

    I signed up for the 80k bonus velocity points offer with Citi rewards, will I still be eligible for the 15% bonus points

  • happyadventurer on 01/05/2024 - 09:49

    For the 20% auto sweep offer NAB rewards is listed a participating partner but why isn’t Citi rewards listed if they are NAB rewards? Strange given they are one and the same since the takeover.

  • CaptainHoltisDad on 01/05/2024 - 09:50

    “ NAB Rewards Terms & Conditions
    If you receive the 60,000 First Year Bonus Acquisition Points as part of the NAB Rewards Platinum offer during the Promotion Period, you will not be eligible to receive bonus Points as part of this offer on any points transferred from NAB Rewards.”

    …ughhh

    • kokoikaka on 01/05/2024 - 10:40

      how about manual transfer, this term seems only applied to auto transfer from NAB

      • vawiyoci on 01/05/2024 - 10:53

        Will end up with some negligible loose change left behind as NAB only transfers in 3000 chunks if done manually? Still don't get why they needed to have this exclusion for this promo.

    • P Plater Panda on 01/05/2024 - 10:44

      This actually makes me feel slightly better. Just got my sign on bonus on 28 APR and was ruing the timing lol.

      This term is slightly confusing.. what if you didn't have auto transfer turned on and the bonus points are sitting in your acc? This is my case and I just received the 120k NAB points 01/05 so wondering if I'm eligible if I auto transfer now

    • dimsimmers on 02/05/2024 - 22:20

      if i sign up for the current NAB Rewards Platinum deal (80k points), would I be eligible for the 20% auto transfer? (60k is a previous deal?)

    - NAB Rewards Platinum Velocity (Jan 2024)
    - Never gave them my velocity member ID
    - points stayed as NAB points but auto-redemption was still "on"
    - turned off auto redemption just then
    - manual transfer?

        only issue is, since the points don't hit till well after the promo, you'll never be able to confirm this before trying it yourself

  • herbo on 01/05/2024 - 10:39

    It's been quite a while, but I'm sure last time I transferred Amex rewards to Velocity they were 1 for 1, now 2 Amex points = 1 Velocity point. Am I dreaming, or have the rates changed?

    • TheCad on 01/05/2024 - 10:45

      They changed to 2 = 1 a few years ago if I recall

  • TheCad on 01/05/2024 - 10:46

    question for those auto-transferrers.. as i never do it

    Lets say I have 100,000 points sitting in one of these accounts and I switch on Auto transfer, will that instantly convert my entire balance (100k points) over to velocity? Or only like 1000?

    • happyadventurer on 01/05/2024 - 10:50
      +1

      It will be you're entire balance but not usually not instantly. Most banks will transfer everyone's accounts on auto transfer on a specific day of each month cause it will be too much to transfer it everytime you earn a point.

      • TheCad on 01/05/2024 - 15:55

        Thanks for comfirming!

  • prubie on 01/05/2024 - 11:43

    Anyone else with St George and notice it says Westpac on the transfer page?
    I know they merged a while back but haven't seen it cross referenced before;

    Your entire accumulated Amplify Points balance on your Westpac Amplify Card, as at the time of transfer will be transferred across to your nominated Velocity Frequent Flyer Account"

    • carwashhair on 01/05/2024 - 14:04
      +2

      If you have a specific flight redemption in mind and there is availability, it can be worth moving when the bonus is running. Otherwise, continue to warehouse your points in Amplify until you know what you want to do with them. Can require a few months or more of research and planning. These transfer bonuses tend to crop up May and November, so could be worth going down the research rabbithole to find out what you wanna redeem on.

  • hodyli on 01/05/2024 - 12:53

    Don't forget you must transfer at least once in each both of the two calendar months (May 2024 and June 2024) to be eligible to receive the 15% bonus Velocity Points. so you need to transfer one in May and one in Jun. I bet many people will only transfer one now and wait for the bonus points.

  • Johnx on 01/05/2024 - 14:11

    for those with Citibank points do you think this is the last bonus offer and should be taken up or just going to wait until they transfer to NAB points (potential devaluation)?

    • n0mad on 01/05/2024 - 14:14

      aside from Krisflyer be 2.5:1for Citi are there any other rates which would be better there?

    • KingPhil on 01/05/2024 - 21:37

      Why the devaluation? Isn't NAB also 2:1?
      And NAB has the auto transfer option so could get 20% rather than 15% now.

    • starburstyellow on 01/05/2024 - 23:32

      When are credit cards from Citi moving? I only got my debit cards moved to NAB.

  • hayne on 02/05/2024 - 00:09

    Is 15% bonus the best it gets for Amex MR transfers or does that ever go up to 20%? Does anyone know if the Nov 2023 - Jan 2024 offer include Amex MR or was it just for the banks?

  • k318830 on 02/05/2024 - 11:41

    • k318830 on 03/05/2024 - 10:01

      I'm with Citi and their auto transfer feature requires transferring the whole balance on a specific date of each month set by the customer. Perhaps similar to St George?

      • jimwh on 03/05/2024 - 15:07

        on St George portal once you select auto transfer, the amount shown to be transferred shown as zero and cannot edit. You can add that to cart but it is shown as two points to be transferred.

  • freestyle18 on 02/05/2024 - 15:40

    So summary..
    Need to transfer in both months for the bonus
    If you had the NAB promo for the 60k auto transfer points, you dont' get the bonus. If anybody tries to turn it off and do the manual, report back!

  • meowmeowmeow on 02/05/2024 - 20:46

  • CyberHippy on 03/05/2024 - 01:51

    Could someone pls explain why everyone in here it opting for manual transfer instead of auto transfer? The auto transfer bonus is higher so it doesn't make sense. Am I missing something?

    • meowmeowmeow on 03/05/2024 - 06:18

    • k318830 on 03/05/2024 - 09:57
      +1

      Just confirmed with Velocity that they will not honour 20% bonus for Citi auto transfer simply because auto transfer was not available when the promotion started. I have submitted a feedback for Citi to be added to the auto transfer list. Hopefully they will consider it.

      • happyadventurer on 03/05/2024 - 15:16

        Autosweep was available with Citi before the promotion started. It's currently not listed a pacticipating auto transfer partner so you can only manual transfer for 15%. When I saw this promotion I turned off my autosweep the day before this promotion started in the Citi Rewards site so I can manual transfer.

        • k318830 on 03/05/2024 - 16:45

          How strange…there was no option for me to auto transfer before. Even the staff acknowledged this when I called up.

  • fatal3rror on 04/05/2024 - 08:55

    Do you get 15% bonus on both the point transfers?

  • bigbadaboom on 06/05/2024 - 13:31

    Suncorp: you need min 25,000 points balance to make a transfer.

  • meowmeowmeow on 10/05/2024 - 08:27

    So my st.george card completed the auto transfer of all my points today. The auto transfer terms don't say anything about needing to have a second transfer in June. I don't have any more transactions on the card and want to close it. You think i'm safe to close it and the 20% bonus will still be applied before the end of July?
    These promotions were much simpler when the bonus points were paid at the same time as the transfer!

    • frogduck on 25/06/2024 - 09:35

      Just got my St george points and turned on auto transfer today, any idea how long that takes?

      As for bonus points, from experience with my ANZ offer, the bonus only landed in my velocity account after the date they stated annoyingly (in this case 31st July), so I wouldn't hold my breath. Personally I'd keep the card til then, but the bonus part should be on Velocity.

      • meowmeowmeow on 25/06/2024 - 12:57

        St George transfers at the end of your statement cycle

        • frogduck on 25/06/2024 - 13:56

          Ah, I wonder if I miss out on this as my cycle ends on the 21st..

            @frogduck: Probably yes. You could do a manual transfer if you have already met the transfer requirement for May. You would get less bonus points but better than nothing.

            • frogduck on 25/06/2024 - 14:35

              @meowmeowmeow: Cool thanks, cancelled my auto redemption request and I'll just wait til the next round since manual also requires 2 transfers

                @frogduck: Yeah that was your other option. Should be another offer in November if they maintain the previous patterns 😊

  • pepsicles on 15/05/2024 - 13:43

    Do the two manual transfer have to be from the same card/bank?
    Or can I do say, Suncorp CC for one transfer, then Amex transfer for the other?

    • meowmeowmeow on 15/05/2024 - 16:31

      Ooooh interesting question!

    • wangasm on 15/05/2024 - 20:08

      It's in the FAQ, doesn't have to be the same.

      Can I Manually Transfer from different participating partners during the promotion period?
      Yes, if you manually transfer from one of the Participating Partners in May, you can choose to transfer from this partner again, or from a different Participating Partners in June.

  • Rupture on 22/05/2024 - 11:37

    My auto transfer from NAB went through on 5/5. No bonus points though. Did people receive this immediately or are they allocated later?

    • kokoikaka on 22/05/2024 - 12:31

      need to wait after the promotion ends I guess.
      from T&C:
      Bonus Points will be allocated to the Member’s Velocity account by 31 July 2024.
