They seem to be a regular occurrence. Still trying to woo people over to their program it would seem. It would be interesting to see what kind of uptake they do actually get on these offers.

25% bonus Velocity Points

Have been sent an email offer to transfer card points to Velocity before 30/11 and receive a bonus 25% Velocity Points. Seems to be very tempting given the dilution of PS and QP benefits (already have PP as part of Amex Platinum CC). I do note however, that redeeming DJ points is subject to payment of additional taxes, so even if the redemption rate is lower than equivalent sector redemption on other programmes, there is still a got you.

Oh, what to do (other than wait for the 50% bonus point offer - are you reading this DJ?)?

I can't tell you where as I'm on my iPhone but there is another thread from a few days ago. There's been a note on the Velocity Rewards website for about a week about the offer.

There is no need to pay for taxes, two redemption amounts are quoted. One is the base fare + taxes in cash or 100% points.

Maybe I'm missing something (and apologies - I was referring to redeeming on VA) - see Velocity - FAQ: SYD - LAX 94, 000 plus $334.52 taxes

as opposed to QF - see https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/do/dyns/PointsRedeemed

Classic Award SYD-LAX 48,000 points

As usual, I find this a little confusing!

Virginia, I think VA's 94k + cash is a return flight, whereas the QFF flight isn't return.
