I have been doing a lot of FBs to VFF transfers, not sure how many now, for those of you who have tranferred a lot, up to 69 times (not sure is it a annual cycle/or our velocity 12 months cycle), does the system tell you you have gotten to your maximum?
Or does FB just stop, and will not allow any more transfers?
Right now, I go into my FB account, as in sign/log in, and I do have enough points for 870 VFF points, tried on the laptop and smartphone, but under both, when i try to do the transfer, where as in the past its always worked, now, yesterday and today, the FB part of Velocity will not do the transfer.
Edit, tried again today, nope, still won't allow a "to VFF" transfer, all other seems to come up, except for Velocity..., sad if this goes the same way as of FB to Etihad type of thingo.
Under, Travel & Fun, only Attraction and Experiences come up, and that starts at 3800 FB points, no VFF.
Under FlyBuys Travel, 2000 FB, it will go to FB travel.
Sorry, just a bit sad, dreading if my way of nightmare is coming true.

There's a limit of 138000 flybuys points a year.

You could check your transaction history and see whether you've met that.
 
69 x 2000 = 138k. I would guess you have been transferring in increments of 2000 per transfer. So, it would seem you have reached the cap for the current year.
 
FB to VFF working again.
Maybe they were doing some works on the website.
Ta for your tips, will keep an eye on the max of 69 transfers.
What with so many points that Coles is offering in tandem with FB, it might be quite soon, sometimes I get 4000 FB points by meeting Coles purchases for the whole clan.

If you're earning at that rate, I'd suggest holding out for the regular bonus points offers. They're usually 15% making it basically 2:1 transfer rates rather than transferring as soon as you hit 2000.

Last year was so sweet with that uncapped transfer offer!
