July Flybuys 10% Velocity Transfer Bonus

[mickismick]

Not as good as the recent 15% transfer bonuses, but I just received an email detailing a 10% bonus on Velocity transfers.

Benefits of transferring

Redeem your flybuys to Velocity Points to fly faster Use your Velocity Points to upgrade your seats Earn 10% Bonus Velocity Points on transfers in July

2 Flybuys Points = 0.957 Velocity Points; short of the 2:1 15% bonus.

I finally received my bonus Flybuys points from my December healthcare churn to Medibank, so the timing is pretty good. Can anyone confirm how often they see the bonuses? I've not got a trip planned right now, so am happy to wait for the 15% bonus instead.

I received an email today offering me 15%. It said it was specifically for the recipient of the email and that the extra 5% would post up to 4 weeks after 31st July. (Which I guess means up to 5 weeks later, since Virgin often fail to meet their own terms and conditions, even when the durations are this pathetically long.)

I'm glad I waited it out because I just got that one too. The offer came directly from Velocity rather than the initial 10% offer from Flybuys.
