Velocity Frequent Flyer is back with one of its regular transfer bonus promotions, offering 10% or 15% bonus Velocity Points on transfers from most of its banking and hotel partners. 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 flight redemption in mind.
For hotel partners, you will need to manually transfer eligible hotel rewards to Velocity by 12 December 2024 to receive the bonus.
For banking partners, will need to manually transfer eligible bank rewards points in both November and December 2024 to receive the bonus. While it’s still a welcome promotion and more than you would receive during normal transfers, the two-month window and low 10% bonus make Velocity’s November 2024 transfer bonus less enticing.
In this post:

There is no requirement to transfer from the same partner in both months.
Those with an auto-redemption or auto-sweep Velocity Credit Card will not receive a bonus. There is no requirement to activate this offer.
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.
Although, 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.
