3 thoughts on “Velocity launches up to 20% points transfer bonus”
Hi there,
To clarify, so the bonus point will not show when I transfer my reward point, for this instance is a Suncorp reward point but only be added by Velocity themselves after the point has been transferred. Is it right?
Thanks
I was having a look at the FAQ section of the velocity offers page and noticed that ANZ rewards are listed as a participating partner for an additional 5% bonus bonus points.
Just wondering if there’s anyway to clarify that this means ANZ reward points will total a 20% bonus?
Hi Annie, thanks for your question. The only products eligible for the additional 5% under this promotion are the American Express Centurion, Platinum Charge, Platinum Business and Rewards Advantage Card. ANZ Rewards members receive a 15% bonus. You can find this information in Velocity’s May Transfer Campaign Terms and Conditions located at the bottom of the offer page.
