Transfer your Flybuys points to your Velocity Frequent Flyer account to earn up to 15% extra Velocity points:
- 15% bonus points on your first ever Auto Transfer (maximum of 30,000 bonus points).
- 5% bonus points on your next manual transfer (maximum of 10,000 bonus points).
Auto Transfer, for those unaware, is the feature that automatically transfers your Flybuys points to Velocity. Manual transfer, as the name suggests, refers to the process of manually specifying the amount of points you want to convert across.
Whilst most Velocity points collectors would have likely used Auto Transfer at some point, the good news is that you can still earn the 5% bonus when you next manually transfer points.
5% may not sound like much but it’s as good as it gets for Flybuys transfers nowadays. The last time this offer ran was almost a year ago so if you skip this one, don’t expect to see it again for a while.
The bonus points are to be credited to your Velocity account within four weeks of the end of the promotion (26 May).

Do you recommend only transferring flybuys and ER points to velocity/ Qantas points if you have a trip in mind or when you’re close to needing the travel points? Would you say keeping your flybuys or ER points until you need them keeps your options open?
I transfer mine because I know I will use the points to book reward flights. If you’re not certain that you’re going to book flights with your points then perhaps hold off. A bonus is nice but it’s not the end of the world if you miss out.
