I want to change FF programs because I recently booked QFF J seats to Europe return for 2 and got slugged $3500 in fees, taxes, surcharges and whatever so decided that after 20 years my loyalty to Qantas is now nearly gone (still got 170k points for domestic trips).
Applied for this 80,000 velocity points ANZ deal and should get it this week. Now I read that transferring to Krisflyer will mean less points to use there which is what I had my eye on for long haul flights.
I did some dummy international bookings on Velocity and couldn't find any J seats in any of the months I looked at (unless you pay 800,000 points!). I did the same on Krisflyer and found plenty of availability.
So I'm leaning toward a St George Amplify card and getting maximum bonus points and putting my eggs into the Krisflyer basket. Fingers crossed I get the 80,000 velocity points by the end of the year and then I can switch them over.
I can find no good reason to funnel all my points to Velocity.
