*General Partnership Terms and Conditions

1This relationship in Australia is between Velocity Frequent Flyer Pty Ltd and Flybuys a registered trademark of Loyalty Pacific Pty Ltd. It does not apply to the Flybuys Programme in New Zealand.

To be eligible to earn Velocity Status Credits or transfer your Flybuys points to Velocity, a member of the Flybuys household must link to a Velocity membership. From 31 March 2021, if you link your accounts for the first time or update your link by signing in to your linked Velocity account via partners.flybuys.com.au/velocity-frequent-flyer/, you’ll also be able to view your Velocity Points balance and Velocity Status Credits within your Flybuys account. Only one Velocity membership can be linked to a Flybuys household at any one time. You can de-link or manage your linked accounts at any time at partners.flybuys.com.au/velocity-frequent-flyer/.

Once linked, Flybuys points earned by the household can be manually transferred to the linked Velocity account by any member of the Flybuys household. Visit flybuys.com.au/transfer to manually transfer your Flybuys points. Or, you can turn on Auto Transfer to have your Flybuys points automatically transferred to Velocity, including your entire existing Flybuys points balance. Visit partners.flybuys.com.au/velocity-frequent-flyer/ to turn on Auto Transfer. This selection will apply to all members under that specific Flybuys household account. You can turn off Auto Transfer at any time and will still be able to manually transfer your Flybuys points to Velocity. From 1 November 2020, the annual transfer limit has been removed, meaning there’s no limit to the amount of Flybuys points you can transfer to Velocity. Once Flybuys points have been redeemed for Velocity Points they can’t be returned to your Flybuys account.

As a linked member you can also earn Status Credits when you scan your Flybuys card on eligible purchases with participating Flybuys partners. Standard Status Credit earn rate is based on spend from the day your accounts are linked. Please allow up to two weeks after the end of each calendar month for your Status Credits to be credited. The Velocity account linked to the Flybuys household as at the end of a calendar month will be awarded the Status Credits. No retrospective claims for Status Credits will be accepted at any time, even in instances where due to technology malfunctions eligible spend is unable to be added to the Flybuys household account. Velocity members also need to fly on Virgin Australia marketed flights to earn Eligible Sectors in addition to Status Credits to upgrade or maintain a new level of membership. An Eligible Sector is any flight that begins with a VA flight number and does not include Reward Seats. You can find your Status Credit and eligible sector balance in My Velocity and in the Velocity app, for more information visit experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/the-basics/status.

Members who have selected family pooling will have their Velocity Points and Status Credits pooled from Contributing Accounts to the Beneficiary account.

Standard Flybuys Terms and Conditions apply to the collection of Flybuys points. Velocity membership Terms and Conditions apply.

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. From 1 November 2020, the annual transfer limit has been removed, meaning there’s no limit to the amount of Flybuys points you can transfer to Velocity.

This selection will apply to all members under that specific Flybuys household 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.
