The popular bonus for transferring Flybuys points to Velocity has returned. Between now and 31 January 2025 you could get a bonus of either 500 or 250 bonus Velocity and flybuys points when transferring Flybuys points to Velocity. That’s right – you get bonus points in both programs.
It is worth noting that this offer is for a fixed number of points, rather than a percentage boost as with some promotions.
The reason for the different number of points is due to there being two different mechanisms. You can get 250 bonus points when making a manual transfer. However, if you turn on auto-transfer for the first time you are in line for the 500 points.
Either way, the promotion is running through to 31 January 2025, so you will need to make your transfer by then.
