Amex to Velocity 15% bonus

[JustSlash]

Hi all,

Got this offer from Amex this morning, not sure if it’s targeted: transfer twice and get 15% bonus Velocity Points.

I don’t fly Virgin Australia much, but I wouldn’t mind using the points on Singapore Airlines.

Question 1: Is 15% a decent Amex transfer bonus, or do they usually offer higher?

Question 2: If the goal is to fly Singapore Airlines, is it better to leave the points in Velocity for now, since they don’t expire as long as there’s some activity (like a 7-Eleven coffee)?

Thanks!

It's not targetter, and part of the normal November campaign from a bunch of banking partners.
Middle of the road for Amex, probably about average, but they vary between 10% and 20% .

So you need to move at least 2000 MR Points per transaction in each of the two months.


iii. transfer a minimum of 2,000 Membership Rewards points (or 1,998 Membership Rewards points for Business Ascent) from their relevant American Express Membership Rewards Program into their Velocity Frequent Flyer account at least once between 12:01am (AEDST) 1 November 2025 and 11:59pm (AEDST) 30 November 2025 and at least once between 12:01am (AEDST) 1 December 2025 and 11:59pm (AEDST) 31 December 2025. Make sure your name on your Velocity account matches your name on your eligible American Express Card.
