What should I consider before transferring my credit card rewards to Velocity Points?
Make sure you're aware of these important terms and conditions before you transfer your credit card rewards.
Velocity membership. You must be an active member of the Velocity Frequent Flyer program to transfer your credit card reward points. While you can transfer points from additional cards, the Velocity membership details must match those of the primary credit card account holder.
Minimum point requirements. Each rewards program has a minimum amount of points you can transfer at any time. If you haven't earned enough points, you won't be able to transfer them to your Velocity account.
Transfer time. This varies between credit card reward programs, but you should typically expect to see the points in your Velocity account within 1–5 days of the transfer. Just be aware that it could take longer in some cases.
Transfer bonuses. Sometimes, Velocity partners (including credit card reward programs) will offer bonus points when you transfer rewards to your frequent flyer account. Depending on the promotion, you could get from 10–30% more points by transferring them during one of these offer periods. Find out if there's a transfer bonus offer by logging in to your rewards account, checking the Velocity website or subscribing to get email updates.
Credit card rewards program changes. The transfer rate can change from time to time. Financial institutions state how much warning they must provide in the terms and conditions (it is usually 90 days).
Transferring reward points or opting for auto-redemption can be an easy and convenient way to rack up Velocity Points from your credit card spending. If you want to look at other ways to boost your Velocity Frequent Flyer balance, you can also compare credit cards that directly earn Velocity Frequent Flyer points.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
