Flybuys and Velocity are back with their bonus‑points transfer promotion offering you the chance to earn bonus points in both programs.Transfer your Flybuys points to Velocity Frequent Flyer any time between now and 30 September 2026, and you’ll unlock extra points in both programs.
- 250 Flybuys and 250 Velocity points on your next manual transfer of at least 1,000 Flybuys points.
- 500 Flybuys and 500 Velocity points on your first ever Auto Transfer (at least 1000 Flybuys points)
It is worth noting that the higher bonus is only available if you are enabling Auto Transfer for the first time ever. If you’ve used Auto Transfer before, you will only be eligible for the smaller bonus of the two.
One other thing of note is that the bonus for a fixed number of points. While Flybuys often offers a percentage based bonus, this is not one of those promotions. As such, the best value in this promotion comes when making a transfer of just the minimum amount (1000 points).
