Velocity Transfer Bonus from Amex Aug 2025

[csg001]

With the bonus it works out slightly better to go Amex >> Velocity >> KrisFlyer rather than direct to KF.
Any idea why we Aussies get shafted with 3-to-1 from AU Amex to KrisFlyer versus 1-to-1 from US Amex to KrisFlyer?

just received a 20% bonus for AMEX to velo

just received a 20% bonus for AMEX to velocity email this morning

tempted to transfer some more on their way to KF

We got the same promo and am tempted to move a large amount of points over to Velocity then onto KF? Our end goal is to hold our points with kf as there saver fares plus taxes and good availability in business class is great. Is this better than moving them directly to kf now that there redemption rate is 3 to 1 ouch !!

Yeah I TFd my Amex points balance to Velocity with this 20% offer....if I do decide to TF to KF, it is is slightly better via Velocity with this 20% bonus offer

How about with 15% would we be infront amex - velocity -kf ? i need a few calculators lol
