We have about 1 million velocity points, also have lots of Citibank points which I can transfer to Velocity but not sure just what to do with them. Thanks and Kind Regards,
Do you use the ff miles/points?
Better to use them than keep them. They decrease in value as ffp's change the rules

SQ Krisflyer ff miles have a 3 year hard expiry. Use them or lose them. SQ being in Star Alliance has a lot more ff partners
VA ff points can be kept alive in an eligible activity in 24 months
With 1,000,000 VA points I would transfer some across to SQ, but you need to use them.

This ratio will be cut. As of January 1, 2019, points will convert at a 1.55:1 ratio, rather than a 1.35:1 ratio.

Not much time left for the 1.35:1 transfer rate
