Earn up to 1,000 bonus points when you transfer Flybuys points to Velocity Frequent Flyer. The bonus you receive depends on the type of transfer you make:
- 250 Flybuys and 250 Velocity points on your next manual transfer
- 500 Flybuys and 500 Velocity points on your first ever Auto Transfer
The higher bonus is only available to those enabling Auto Transfer for the first time ever. If you’ve previously used the Auto Transfer feature, you can still earn the smaller bonus for completing a manual transfer.
The thing about these Flybuys to Velocity transfer bonuses is that they occasionally offer 5-15% extra points instead of just a fixed amount like with this one.
For that reason, anyone considering this offer should just perform a manual transfer of the minimum 1,000 Flybuys points and save the rest of their points for a future transfer bonus (unless, of course, you need them to book a flight right now).
If you enable Auto Transfer for the first time for this offer you’ll likely regret it if they run another 15% bonus because you could have potentially earned tens of thousands of additional points.

- a. Members will receive bonus 250 bonus Flybuys points and 250 bonus Velocity Points if they choose to complete a Manual Transfer of a minimum 1,000 Flybuys points to 500 Velocity Points as their first Velocity transfer within the Promotion Period (this does not need to be their first ever Velocity Manual Transfer). If a member completes a Manual Transfer first during the Promotion Period, they will not be eligible to receive the Auto Transfer bonus points offer. Members who have previously completed a Manual Transfer from their Flybuys to Velocity Account prior to the Promotion Period are still eligible for the Manual Transfer offer; or
- b. Members will receive 500 bonus Flybuys points and bonus 500 Velocity Points if they turn on Auto Transfer and complete their first ever Auto Transfer of a minimum 1,000 Flybuys points to 500 Velocity Points during the Promotion Period. Members must remain opted into Auto Transfer until the end of the Promotion Period to be eligible for this offer. Members who have opted into the Auto Transfer functionality prior to the Promotion Period but have never completed an Auto Transfer are eligible for this Auto Transfer offer. This offer is not available to members who have previously completed an Auto Transfer prior to the Promotion Period. If a member completes an eligible Auto Transfer first during the Promotion Period, they will not be eligible to receive the Manual Transfer bonus points offer.
Members are only eligible to receive one bonus points offer during the Promotion Period which will be the first eligible transfer that the member completes during the Promotion Period.
Your Flybuys account and Velocity account must remain linked until the end of the Promotion Period to be eligible to receive this offer. This bonus points offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
The Terms and Conditions governing the transfer of Flybuys points to Velocity points is outlined below. Velocity Points will be credited to the linked Velocity account. Flybuys points will be credited to the linked Flybuys account. The bonus points will be credited to the member’s Flybuys and Velocity account within four (4) weeks of the end of the Promotion Period. Once Flybuys points have been redeemed for Velocity Points, they cannot be returned to your Flybuys account, and they will be governed by the Velocity membership terms and conditions. Standard Flybuys terms and conditions apply and are available at flybuys.com.au. Flybuys’ privacy policy applies. This offer is personal to the recipient of this communication and not transferable.

No good for long term users already linked. Guess I’ll have to hope for a 15% transfer bonus soon instead.
Is good if you have already made transfers in the past (thus deeming you not eligible for first time transfer bonuses) and only transfer 1,000 Flybuys points manually. You get 250 Velocity (50% bonus) plus 250 Flybuys points (worth 125 Velocity, or 25% bonus), for a total of 75% bonus.
Can you chose how many points to auto transfer? I have a lot of flybuys. Never transferred before. But don’t want to transfer all at this stage.
No. Auto Transfer will automatically convert your entire Flybuys balance to Velocity. As mentioned in the article, you wouldn’t want to enable Auto Transfer for this offer anyway as you would be ineligible to take part in any future transfer bonuses they run (e.g. bonus 15% points).
Just do a manual transfer for 1,000 Flybuys points and save the rest of your points for a better bonus.
