Velocity and Flybuys have two new transfer bonus offers this month. If you enable Auto Transfer on your Flybuys account for the first time, you will earn 500 bonus Velocity points plus 500 bonus Flybuys points on your first Auto Transfer.
If you’ve previously transferred points to Velocity, you can still earn 250 bonus Velocity points and 250 bonus Flybuys points when you manually transfer points from your Flybuys account to your Velocity account.
Converting your Flybuys points to Velocity is only worthwhile if you’re going to use the points to book reward flights. If you only plan to redeem your points on gift cards or products, you’re better off keeping them in the Flybuys programme.
