Up To 20% Bonus Velocity Points On Transfers In March 2025
Boost your balance with the latest Velocity transfer bonus offer.
Velocity Frequent Flyer is back with one of its regular transfer bonus promotions. This time, members can score up to 20% bonus Velocity Points on banking transfers and up to 15% bonus Velocity Points on Flybuys transfers.
This is a good opportunity to extract better value from your flexible rewards points, especially if your Velocity balance is looking a little tired, or you have a specific flight redemption in mind.
5-15% Bonus On Flybuys Transfers, March 2025
Earn a 15% bonus on your first-ever Flybuys Auto Transfer to Velocity, or a 5% bonus on manual transfers. These offers pop up a few times per year and are the perfect opportunity to get the most value from your Flybuys points.
To qualify for the bonus, you must activate Auto Transfer or complete a manual transfer between 1 March 2025 and 11:59pm AEDT on 31 March 2025. Anyone can receive the manual 5% bonus, but the higher 15% bonus is only available if it is your first time setting up Auto Transfer.
Unfortunately, bonus points will only be awarded on your first eligible transfer during the offer period. There is also a 10,000 bonus point cap on manual transfers and 30,000 for Auto Transfers.
20% Bonus On Banking Transfers, February 2025
Velocity members have the opportunity to snag 20% bonus Velocity Points when they select to auto-transfer banking rewards from eligible partners by 30 April 2025. The flexible bank rewards programs eligible for this promotion are;
- ANZ Rewards
- ANZ Business Rewards
- Bank of Melbourne Amplify Rewards
- BankSA Amplify Rewards
- NAB Rewards
- St.George Amplify Rewards
To qualify for 20% bonus Velocity Points, you must opt into auto-transfer to Velocity between 1 February and 30 April 2025. Points that are automatically transferred during this period will receive the bonus, based on the total number of base Velocity Points received in accordance with the offer.
Here’s how it works;
- Turn on auto-transfer by 11:59pm AEST 30 April 2025.
- Receive points via auto-transfer by 11:59pm AEST 30 April 2025.
- Bonus Velocity Points will be received by 31 May 2025.
There is no need to register for this offer, but to be eligible, you must have had auto-transfer OFF before the promotion period.

Should I Transfer My Points?
At Flight Hacks, we love Velocity Frequent Flyer’s regular transfer bonus promotions. These offers are a great way to maximise the value of your flexible bank reward points, especially if you have a specific flight redemption in mind.
We do still advise against transferring points to Velocity just because there is a bonus running, as this will wipe the flexibility of holding bank reward points. As soon as you make that transfer, you’re restricted to Velocity, as opposed to having the option to send bank rewards elsewhere when that Business Class Reward Seat pops up with another frequent flyer scheme.
That said, if the bonus is tempting enough, a speculative transfer could prove worthwhile.
