    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    Im sitting on about 1m Velocity points, I am really thinking of doing the transfer to SQ, but I mainly fly Melb - LA which means I will need to fly Via singapore every trip Such a hard choice, Id be fairly annoyed if VA fold and I was to loose all of my points.
