Transfer points from Flybuys to Velocity this month and you could take home 5% or 15% bonus Velocity Points on your first transfer. It’s easy to earn Velocity Points through Flybuys. If you’re not already a member, Flybuys is even free to join. Normally, every 1,000 Flybuys points you collect can become 500 Velocity Points.
Earn 15% bonus Velocity Points via Flybuys Auto Transfer
If you haven’t previously activated Velocity Auto Transfer on your Flybuys account, this is the offer for you. You could take home 15% bonus Velocity Points. Here’s what you’d need to do.
- Start by turning on Auto Transfer to Velocity Points via your Flybuys account. You’ll need to enable that during the Promotion Period, which runs between 12 am AEST on 6 May 2024 and 11:59 pm on 26 May 2024.
- During the Promotion Period, have at least one automatic conversion of Flybuys points into Velocity Points. Because Flybuys points transfer to Velocity in multiples of 1,000 Flybuys points, that’s the minimum you’d need to have in your Flybuys account to have at least one automatic transfer.
- When you turn on Auto Transfer, any existing Flybuys points in your account will also become Velocity Points as part of the opt-in process.
- On your first Auto Transfer during the Promotion Period, you’ll collect 15% bonus Velocity Points on the lot. Under this offer, the maximum bonus Velocity Points cap is 30,000. But you’d only hit that ceiling if you transfer an impressive 400,000 Flybuys points to Velocity via Auto Transfer. These bonus points will be awarded within four weeks.
All future Auto Transfers from Flybuys to Velocity will take place at the usual 2:1 rate, in multiples of 1,000 Flybuys points (500 Velocity Points).
This bonus isn’t available to Flybuys members who already have Auto Transfer enabled. It’s also not available to those who’ve previously opted into Auto Transfer. That’s true even for those who’d opted in, and later opted out, before the Promotion Period.
Earn 5% bonus Velocity Points when you manually transfer from Flybuys
If you’re not eligible for Flybuys’ Auto Transfer bonus offer, don’t fret. There’s a separate offer of 5% bonus Velocity Points when you manually transfer your rewards from Flybuys to Velocity.
All Flybuys members are eligible – including those who’ve previously (manually) transferred Flybuys points to Velocity. If you’ve previously used Flybuys Auto Conversion, this doesn’t disqualify you.
Make a manual points conversion from Flybuys to Velocity and you’ll earn an easy 5% bonus on your first transfer during the Promotion Period. To maximise your rewards, transfer all of your points to Velocity in one go. Consider making that transfer later in the month, if you’ll be collecting more Flybuys points throughout June.
There’s a cap of 10,000 bonus Velocity Points under this offer. But again, you’d only reach that cap after transferring 400,000 Flybuys points into 200,000 Velocity Points, so it’s not too limiting.
Those bonus Velocity Points will be credited to your account within four weeks. Just a reminder, the bonus only applies to your first eligible transfer during the Promotion Period: so make that transfer wisely.
Summing up
For those who’ve never used Auto Transfer from Flybuys to Velocity, this is a great chance to send your points soaring. Who doesn’t like earning extra points for free – just by moving your rewards from one account to another? But is transferring your Flybuys points to Velocity a good move in general?
Don’t forget, you can collect Flybuys points in many ways. Of course, you add to your Flybuys balance every time you shop at Coles, Kmart, Target, Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Market. But you can also get Flybuys points at Bunnings, Officeworks, and a slew of other partners.
Those Flybuys points could ultimately become Velocity Points – so what are you waiting for? Get shopping, and soon enough, your points could take you on a new adventure.
