The Velocity Points Hack Helping Aussie Travellers Lock In That 2027 Euro Summer Early

Suffered through a feed of striped umbrellas, Grecian covelets and tanned-looking pals on the feed this winter? Same. Fortunately, if you're a Velocity member and those points have been looking a little lean, this limited-time hack might be your way to jump into those glorious Mediterranean blues early in 2027. 

Velocity Frequent Flyer is giving eligible members the chance to boost their balance and save up to a massive 40% on Velocity Points with the limited-time Points Booster offer. That means when transferring points from participating bank rewards programs to Velocity, those points sneakily sitting elsewhere could suddenly become your golden ticket to chasing in the dream trip. Better still, if you've already reached that annual purchase limit, you can still buy up to 250,000 points before 23 August 2026, without counting towards your limit. Huge, right?

Deep in your points-maxxing era, you’ll want to pay attention to the dates.

So, What’s The Deal?

From 14 August to 30 September 2026, Velocity Frequent Flyer members can earn these lucrative bonus Velocity Points when transferring eligible points from participating bank rewards programs into their Velocity account.

Essentially, rather than leaving those rewards points sitting in your bank program, you can transfer them across during the promotional period and potentially score bonus Velocity Points in the process.

The important bit: the exact transfer rate, bonus and eligibility requirements can depend on your participating bank rewards program, so this isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. Check your bank's specific offer and transfer requirements before hitting go.

Why This One Is Worth Knowing About

If you're already earning rewards points through everyday spending, this is essentially an opportunity to make those existing points work harder.

Velocity Points can be redeemed across a range of rewards, including eligible flights, upgrades and other travel experiences, so transferring points you already hold could help push you closer to your next redemption. And unlike signing up for a new credit card or hitting a fresh minimum spend, you're potentially working with points you've already earned (and deserve, right?).

How Do You Get The Bonus?

First, you'll need to be a Velocity Frequent Flyer member and have eligible points sitting within a participating bank rewards program.

From there, check the transfer requirements and promotional offer attached to your particular rewards program before transferring your eligible points to Velocity during the campaign period. Because transfer rates, minimum transfer amounts and other requirements can vary between rewards programs, it's worth doing the maths before moving anything across.

And one particularly important reminder for points-maxxers: points transfers generally can't be reversed, so make sure you're happy with the transfer before confirming it.

When Does The Offer End?

The campaign runs from 14 August until 30 September 2026, so eligible transfers will need to be made within the promotional period to qualify. For clever frequent flyers already sitting on a stash of eligible bank rewards points, this is the kind of offer that's worth doing a quick account check for. But be quick, as the campaign only runs from 14 August to 30 September 2026.
