Any idea if David Jones and Westpac Altitude points ever had conversion bonus offers?

Hi

I have a David jones credit card and Westpac altitude both not connected to Qantas
I do have a wad of points in both accounts.

However I go to France often (business class) on my points so I am waiting if ever do velocity ever have bonus points when transferring?

Or would other airlines be good to transfer (eg Qatar)
I have always had a hard time using points with Singapore airlines - really had to juggle to get suitable times and even then weren’t my preferred dates even though I booked 8 months in advance

Thanks
Christine

Hi Christine,

Not sure if there are bonus transfers for either cards but DJs MR program is not good for transferring to Velocity as it’s only 2:1. IMO, it’s only good for DJ’s MR to transfer to SPG for stays or to a wider range of FF programs, such as AAdvantage.

With regards to Westpac, see link

Thanks guys

yes I will wait for bonus offers for my Westpac altitude card as I can wait until then (don’t need them yet and I have about 500 000 points

with my DJs card well I feel that I am paying my annual subscription so I can retain my points. I want to be closing the credit card as I don’t use it often but need to transfer my points otherwise I will lose the points

i noticed all DJs rewards conver to half Freq flyer points :frowning: which ever airline

dont usually stay at a Starwood chain so  (I am an Accor platinum member. Which I am pleased with myself once Accor had an offer 1 for 1 and a 50% bonus for Qantas. I had 50 k Accor points which converted to 75k Qantas. :frowning:

So I guess I will bite the bullet and convert to velocity just to avoid the paying of the annual fee when I rarely use this card

thanks for your help
