Hi all,

Got this offer from Amex this morning, not sure if it’s targeted: transfer twice and get 15% bonus Velocity Points.

I don’t fly Virgin Australia much, but I wouldn’t mind using the points on Singapore Airlines.

Question 1: Is 15% a decent Amex transfer bonus, or do they usually offer higher?

Question 2: If the goal is to fly Singapore Airlines, is it better to leave the points in Velocity for now, since they don’t expire as long as there’s some activity (like a 7-Eleven coffee)?

Thanks!

It's not targetter, and part of the normal November campaign from a bunch of banking partners.
Middle of the road for Amex, probably about average, but they vary between 10% and 20% .

So you need to move at least 2000 MR Points per transaction in each of the two months.


iii. transfer a minimum of 2,000 Membership Rewards points (or 1,998 Membership Rewards points for Business Ascent) from their relevant American Express Membership Rewards Program into their Velocity Frequent Flyer account at least once between 12:01am (AEDST) 1 November 2025 and 11:59pm (AEDST) 30 November 2025 and at least once between 12:01am (AEDST) 1 December 2025 and 11:59pm (AEDST) 31 December 2025. Make sure your name on your Velocity account matches your name on your eligible American Express Card.

So once again, you only get the bonus if you transfer two months in a row.

I wonder if next May we'll see something that's a bit simpler, or perhaps more creative?

Just been told I won't receive 20% bonus points as I had opted in for auto-redemption before! But I thought as long as I was opted out on 31 Oct and opt in again in Nov I am eligible for the 20% bonus.Not happy!

Flybuys bonus auto-transfer works the same: it's a one-time promo per user, can't turn it off and then back on to keep getting the bonus each time it's on offer, unfortunately.

Ironically, this encourages people to then keep automatic transfers switched off forever to wait for a manual transfer bonus to get the best deal. I'm sure the offer results in plenty of people 'setting and forgetting', though.

I've never seen a manual transfer bonus that I can remember (I don't always have the best memory). Has this happened?
