Velocity Credit Card promo

Does anyone know when the annual credit card bonus points promo to Velocity might be? Usually its around this time of year I think and you get 15% bonus if transferring from various credit cards.

Cheers

The bonus has been on a downward trajectory. The May 2014 promotion was 10%. The October 2013 promotion was 15%.

I think they started at 50% some years ago, dropped to 30%, and then as you say 15% and latest was 10%.

This is good it is happening again, have done a transfer. I see they no longer offer a point sale at the time of conversion, I am sure I remember a 15% bonus plus 10-15% off award prices.

Good none the less!

Status credit bonus

For a couple of years they ran a "double status credit" promo straight after Christmas. Didn't happen in 2014. You had to book and pay for flights in the first half of the upcoming year and even on the cheapest fares you got double SC

I have around 60k amex points I think ill convert on this promo. Cant see it offering 15% again in the near future so I may as well flick them across to Velocity seeing they wont expire. Thing is I have no plans to travel at this stage!
