Manual Transfer: Receive 1 entry into the prize draw for every 1,000 points you manually transfer from your Flybuys account to your Velocity account;
Auto Transfer: Opt-in to Auto Transfer (includes members who already have Auto Transfer turned on) and receive 2 entries into the prize draw for every 1,000 points automatically transferred from your Flybuys account to your Velocity account.
Your accounts must remain linked (and if Auto Transfer is turned on it must remain turned on) until 11/05/2022 to be eligible to participate in the draw. If the promoter needs to redraw in accordance with paragraph 19, your accounts must remain linked (and if Auto Transfer is turned on it must remain turned on) until 11/08/2022 to be eligible to participate in the redraw.
The following additional terms apply when transferring points from your Flybuys account to your Velocity membership:
If you’ve linked your Velocity Frequent Flyer membership to your Flybuys account, you can choose to manually transfer a minimum of 1,000 Flybuys points at a time to receive 500 Velocity Points per 1,000 Flybuys points transferred to Velocity. Or, you can turn on Auto Transfer and if you choose to do this, your entire existing Flybuys points balance (to the highest multiple of 1,000 Flybuys points) will be automatically transferred to your linked Velocity account, and every 1,000 Flybuys points you subsequently collect will be automatically transferred into 500 Velocity Points. There is no limit to the amount of Flybuys points you can transfer to Velocity. Only one Velocity membership can be linked to a Flybuys account at any one time. To turn on Auto Transfer, the full name and date of birth on your Flybuys account and linked Velocity membership must match. You can de-link or manage your linked accounts at any time at flybuys.com.au/velocity-frequent-flyer/. Visit flybuys.com.au/transfer to manually transfer your Flybuys points. Alternatively, to turn on Auto Transfer, visit partners.flybuys.com.au/velocity-frequent-flyer/ and sign in to your Flybuys account then turn your Auto Transfer preference to ‘On’. This selection will apply to all members under that specific Flybuys account. You can turn your Auto Transfer preference to ‘Off’ at any time and will still be able to manually transfer your Flybuys points to Velocity. Please allow up to 48 hours for Velocity Points to be credited to your linked Velocity account and for your Flybuys points balance to be updated.
