To clarify, is this a once only offer and any future offers cannot be accepted?

I think that is true for auto-transfer, but not so for the manual transfer. Te manual transfer you can get once in the promo period.

The auto transfer offers are usually (but not always - eg January offer of 300+300 for reactivating) for first auto transfer ever. Manual transfer offers are once per offer period with no exclusion for prior transfers.

But you are unlikely to activate auto transfer if you have 700,000 points?

I probably would - I just transfer whatever the minimum is each time there's an offer so it's never banked up enough to have that sort of balance anyway, and ultimately I want them in KF miles via VFF. So if it's a manual offer, I transfer the minimum each time, and if it's auto transfer and I'm eligible I turn it on, then back off again.

True, it's only an incremental gain over leaving auto transfer on all the time, but it's an increment that costs me nothing.

Finally, there's a 5% transfer bonus on transfers to Velocity until 28 July (or 15% if it's your first ever auto transfer).

Between 12:00am AEST Wed 1 Jul 2026 and 11:59pm AEST Tue 28 Jul 2026 (Promotion Period), Flybuys members who link or have linked their Velocity Frequent Flyer membership to their Flybuys account and make an eligible transfer of Flybuys points to Velocity will earn bonus Velocity Points based on whichever transfer occurs first during the Promotion Period:

• 5% bonus Velocity Points on the value of Velocity Points received on your next manual transfer when you transfer a minimum of 1,000 Flybuys points to Velocity; or
• 15% bonus Velocity Points on the value of Velocity Points received on your first ever Auto Transfer when you auto transfer a minimum of 1,000 Flybuys points to Velocity. To be eligible, you must turn on Auto Transfer during the Promotion Period and the Auto Transfer must be your first ever Auto Transfer.

Each Flybuys member is eligible for one allocation of bonus Velocity Points in connection with this offer, which will be calculated on the first eligible transfer that the member successfully completes during the Promotion Period.

Bonus Velocity Points will be awarded to the member’s Velocity Frequent Flyer account within 4 weeks from the end of the Promotion Period.

Bonus Velocity Points offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
