I notice this is back again, although it's the first time I'm using it.

I have points sitting in an ANZ rewards account, do I just go into the auto redemption option (to also get the extra 5% from ANZ) and select the "Redeem the selected reward as soon as enough Reward Points are available" option?

That's my understanding. But for ANZ Rewards members doing the auto-redeem things, I believe it is a 35% bonus during November. ANZ Rewards offering up to 35% bonus miles transferring to Velocity - TravelPoints
 
Annoyingly, looks like it's only available for westpac folks if you turn on auto redemption (and presumably that sweeps all your points across). Given I anticipate needing Krisflyer points much more than velocity in the future, I think my westpac points will be staying where they are. Would have been nice to do a small transfer as a top up!
 
I had been waiting on the 15% bonus to transfer my ANZ points over so I could cancel my ANZ CCard. The extra 20% on top was a nice addition. Transferred Westpac, Commonwealth and ANZ rewards points today.
 
does the bonus point transfer at the same time as well?

Made a transfer myself from CBA, and yes, bonus points arrived under a separate line item at the same time the main transfer appeared.
 
Anyone taking note of how often this bonus is repeated?
Am booking soon but would hold off to get the 15% if I had a better idea

Varies a bit, but has been May and November for the last few years (before that there were April and October appearances in the mix)
 
I have transferred with the points bonus from CBA, ANZ and Westpac. I have a bunch of NAB points but cannot recall if they ever offer this type of bonus.

Anyone have any knowledge of NAB offerings?
 
^I'm after the above info too.... Not to mention Citi for the next bonus as well!
 
Received an email for 15% transfer bonus to one VFF account but not the other.

The 15% bonus Points offer is only available for Points transfers with ANZ Rewards accounts, ANZ Business Rewards accounts, CommBank Awards accounts, NAB Rewards accounts, HSBC Rewards accounts (Platinum and Premier credit card holders only), Citibank Citi Rewards accounts, Diners Club Reward accounts, Bank of Queensland Q Rewards accounts (Platinum credit card holders only), Suncorp Bank Rewards accounts, Card Services Rewards Accounts, Westpac Altitude Rewards accounts, St George Amplify accounts, BankSA Amplify accounts, Bank of Melbourne Amplify accounts and Australian American Express Card Members, including David Jones American Express Card Members enrolled in the Membership Rewards program (this offer excludes American Express New Zealand Card Members). Velocity members must transfer their credit card or charge card points between 25 March and 9 April 2017 to receive the 15% bonus Velocity Points. Bonus Velocity Points are calculated on the total number of Velocity Points when transferred to the Velocity Account. Bonus Velocity Points will be credited to the Velocity account 6 weeks from transfer date.

Before I pull the trigger, the points bonus is not calculated before transferring but within 6 weeks? Best to be sure!

Received the same email. I had been waiting for a bonus offer to transfer my NAB (and then cancel my card) and Commbank rewards points and this one came a little earlier than expected. Last time the 15% bonus points came very quickly rather than at 6 weeks.
 
Read the terms again: Offer available to invited Velocity members only.

Damn. They sent it to my largely inactive account.
 
I am CBA platinum and Velocity Silver and yet to receive this particular invite.

Hope it comes soon.
