Any idea on how to get this to work with ANZ?

I have the black setup for auto redemption to VA for the previous April offer of 20% bonus.

Can I turn off the auto and do a manual now and get the bonus 15% or leave the auto on and get the bonus this way?

Or none of the above will give the bonus?

Perfect timing! Just received a sign up bonus in April (outside this promotion period) so will now transfer all points to Velocity and cancel the card.

Slightly OTT, but It seems like Citi is also running a 30% transfer bonus to Qatar Avios.

Good Deal: Qatar Airways Privilege Club 30% Bank Transfer Bonus

You can receive a 30% bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou points to Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios. This is a good deal.

onemileatatime.com

This makes the transfer ratio for Citi->Avios 1:0.43
Citi -> Velocity 1:0.575 (with 15% bonus)

Velocity charges a minimum of 119k for South Coast to Europe and 158k for some cities.
Avios chargers 90k for almost all of Europe.

Time to get the calculator out!

.....Bonus Points will be allocated to the Member’s Velocity account by 30 June 2025.

Something similar happened to me in the last promotion. I transferred on the 1st of the month and the points credited to my account with an activity date of the 30th of the previous month. Velocity seems to use American times as I'd even transferred after midnight GMT (but before midnight in the US west coast).
