IMO, only super useful for people wanting to move any small balances from KFF to VFF (to avoid expiry).

Enjoy 20% bonus Velocity Points when you convert your KrisFlyer miles (7 – 31 March 2025)
From 7 to 31 March 2025, receive 3,871 Velocity Points (Usual: 3,226 Velocity Points) for every 5,000 KrisFlyer miles converted.
*A minimum of 5,000 miles is required for a conversion.

Use your Velocity Points to enjoy greater access to upgrades and reward seats across the domestic and international Virgin Australia network as well as non-flight redemption rewards in the Velocity Rewards Store.

The conversion programme is only open to KrisFlyer members and Velocity Frequent Flyer members who are residing in Australia, New Zealand or Pacific Islands.

    Oh, misread it. Thought it was Velocity to KrisFlyer.

    Agree, only useful for small balances where you wont be able to use them before they expire. After 8 J sectors in 2 years, my balances are exactly Zero!

    • abs898 on 07/03/2025 - 18:45

      Yup, otherwise KF is always more useful and better availability

    • tunzafun001 on 07/03/2025 - 19:27

      Flying out of which city?

      I couldn't use my KF points anywhere.

      ..but I did aquire them (pre Covid) for the south Pacific/ NZ region… which they no longer service since Covid.

      • ltwo on 07/03/2025 - 19:44

        pre covid? don't they expire within 3 years?

        • tunzafun001 on 08/03/2025 - 00:44

          They extended the date several times after Covid. Then I paid for an extension..
          But they never resumed the legs I got the points for, so had to roll them into velocity.

      • abs898 on 07/03/2025 - 19:54

        Flying the other way away from Pacific because that's where Singapore flies mainly

        • tunzafun001 on 08/03/2025 - 00:45

          Whereabouts? NZ to Sin?

          • abs898 on 08/03/2025 - 08:23

            @tunzafun001: I have had no issues flying from Melbourne to Europe.

    • starburstyellow on 07/03/2025 - 21:08

      Tell me bout it, I got super excited when I saw the email!

    • frozenkuku on 08/03/2025 - 16:12

      you can just book furthest ahead flight possible (like one yeah time), then change the flight again say one month before the flight, that way it will never expire,

    • Oliver on 08/03/2025 - 16:20

      That's nice, we used our points on 2 suites to Europe and business on the way back

  • MaxHashrate on 07/03/2025 - 18:45

    Main thing is the 20% off economy saver awards redemption until November. Sadly none for business, some premium economy.

    • starburstyellow on 07/03/2025 - 21:08

      Only between Singapore and US though?

    What? You're getting less? WHat's the point?

    • illumination on 07/03/2025 - 21:20

      You're not getting less. You're getting 20% more.

      The absolute value decreases, yes. But that's like saying what's the point of converting AUD to USD when you are getting a smaller dollar value.

      Not all points are made equal, and not all dollars are made equal.

      Now, having said that, I actually fundamentally agree with you that it's a crappy deal to begin with. It's just making a crappy deal slightly less crappy. But I'm just highlighting that you can't and shouldn't just look at the absolute figure. Otherwise you could just move to Indonesia and become a millionaire.

    Just checked a few dates for business class from Brisbane to Europe KF was 215k points +$250, Velocity wanted 1.2 MILLION POINTS for similar flights. Bonkers.

    • Azro on 07/03/2025 - 19:27
      +9

      1.2 MILLION POINTS is not a reward seat, obviously.

      • johnjones8 on 08/03/2025 - 13:21

        Same thing that happened over at Qantas too before Classic+, people confusing points+pay with classic rewards.

      • dtpearson on 08/03/2025 - 13:56

        Yes, I guess I should have clarified my point. I find Virgin (and Qantas) these days NEVER have reward seats available in longhaul (especially business class) so if you want to use your points it costs you millions of points. Singapore Air seems to have far more availability, so the points are actually worth something.

        • Azro on 08/03/2025 - 14:19

          Depends on how flexible you are.
          Yes, KrisFlyer has more reward seats available but they cost more and those points are harder to earn.
          If it cost you millions of points then you simply don't use points and search another date or book futher in advance as it's not how it's intended to work.

      got one way Shanghai to Sydney via Tokyo ANA biz for 92k points + AU$66 a few months back before Velocity jacked up the points required, would be 100k points nowadays.

    Turn 5000 KrisFlyer into 3871 VFF, then turn 3871 VFF into 2,497 KrisFlyer, just for the fun of it.

    • Flutterby on 07/03/2025 - 23:15

      Haha. Print screen to prove it.

    this is actually great for me, just transferred some 6k points from wife's account to Velocity as they are useless sitting there, or they will expire eventually.
    got the points including 20% bonus in Velocity instantly. Now I can family transfer her Velocity points to my account.

    • Chickenleg on 07/03/2025 - 20:08

      Showing up as 3226 points per 5000 for me, does the bonus come separately?

      • gotcha on 07/03/2025 - 21:45

        showing as 2 activities when they land in your velocity account

    Plz do bonus the other way no max transfer :)

    Thanks, everyone

  • itslittfam on 07/03/2025 - 20:11

    Damnit thought it was the other way around.

  • laudalashun on 07/03/2025 - 20:12

    Wish they had this for Amplify to Krisflyer.

    Does the conversion include miles to kilometres?

    Only recommended if you have Krisflyer miles expiring soon and you have no other way to utilize them.

    • sunny007 on 08/03/2025 - 15:05

      I have 10k krisflyer points expiring in 2 months, I didnt find other way to utilise it. Do you have any suggestion to utilise it directly?

    Better. But still terrible. Unless you’re about to lose them

  • happychild100 on 07/03/2025 - 21:46

    The real deal is the reward point discount!

    Enjoy 20% off Economy Saver award tickets to all destinations within Singapore Airlines’ network, as well as selected Premium Economy award tickets between Singapore and the United States of America.

    • starburstyellow on 07/03/2025 - 22:27

      Agreed. Very niche though imo. Me personally don't have any want to go there.

  • Montree on 07/03/2025 - 21:54

    Does anyone know if I can transfer my mother's KrisFlyer to my Velocity account?"

    • illumination on 07/03/2025 - 22:22

      Pretty sure you can't, but, you can…

      • Transfer to your mum's velocity account (make one if she doesn't have one yet)
      • Do a family transfer from your mum's Velocity account to your own
      • johnjones8 on 08/03/2025 - 13:22

        Do a family transfer from your mum's Velocity account to your own

        And they still haven't bloody re-instated doing it online, she'll have to call up and do it manually.

  • tiara on 07/03/2025 - 23:00

    I don't understand, I used to transfer my velocity points to krisflyer. 1.55 to 1. Meaning krisflyer worths a lot more. This looks like a typo to me. It should read transfer 5000 velocity points to get 3871 krisflyer points

    • starburstyellow on 08/03/2025 - 01:04

      Definitely! this is KFF to VFF, hence why I mentioned in the first sentence above.

  • Montree on 08/03/2025 - 11:36

    Is there any specific link cause i don't get 20% bonus.. still showing 5000 >> 3226

    • Montree on 08/03/2025 - 12:52

      FYI: I did and its automatic boosted :)

  • Tokz666 on 08/03/2025 - 12:12

    I got only 3000 miles expiring this month!!

    Can anyone suggest a good way to use them and not let them go to waste? Thanks

    • firestint on 08/03/2025 - 14:20

      I redeemed some crazily overpriced local milk tea from the online shop last time, delivery was included so $0 out of pocket.

  • dav3e on 08/03/2025 - 13:22

    35% potential with NAB rewards points -> 15%+ Krisflyer -> 20%+ Velocity? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/893362

    • starburstyellow on 08/03/2025 - 14:55

      More like 35% -> 15%+ -> 1.55÷ -> 20%+

  • gviddy on 08/03/2025 - 21:54

    My Velocity points are about to expire. Will transferring Krisflyer reset that expiry date?
