Maximize Your Rewards Points for AFL Finals Travel

As September approaches, many AFL fans are preparing to travel across Australia to support their teams during finals. The costs associated with these trips can accumulate quickly, making it an opportune time to utilize rewards points accrued from banks.

This August, Virgin Australia has launched its Velocity Frequent Flyer Bonus Transfer campaign ahead of anticipated changes to Australia's payment systems, set to begin on October 1. These changes may affect how banks manage their rewards programs, potentially altering earning rates and transfer ratios.

For customers of ANZ, NAB, American Express, BOQ, or MyCard, there is a chance to earn additional Velocity Points by transferring rewards points now. Those who manually transfer points in August and September can receive a 15% bonus, while eligible customers can opt for Auto-Transfer to secure a 20% bonus. With the rewards landscape shifting, fans are encouraged to evaluate their points and consider transferring them sooner rather than later.
