Bonuses for transferring Flybuys points to Velocity

[PDog]

Flybuys is offering a small bonus for transfers until 31 January 2025.

250 Velocity + 250 FB for a manual transfer, so just do the minimum of 1000 FB (unless you have a specific redemption in mind) and wait for a 5% bonus.
500 Velocity + 500 FB for first ever auto transfer (I suspect few on here would be eligible).

Worked for me in January, but didn't receive the bonus for similar offer in April (both were manual transfers)

I think the T&C's indicate the bonus is only for first time tranferees.

Not necessarily for manual transfers by the looks of it?

We got both of ours on April 11th if that helps? The line item is listed as Flybuys March 2025 Flash Sale manual transfer.
It definitely wasn’t our first manual transfer.

The 'first time transfer' requirement only applies to auto transfers.

(I've done my 1000 point transfer. Last time, my bonus lobbed in on 13 January after transferring the Flybuys points on 27 November. It was described as 'Flybuys Dec/Jan 250 Manual Transfer'.
