Flying Blue Transfer Bonus: 20% bonus for HSBC and OCBC points transfers
Sitting on a large amount of HSBC and OCBC points? Take advantage of the Flying Blue Transfer Bonus!
TRAVELNEWS
Flying Blue is offering an uncapped 20% transfer bonus for participating bank programs for the month of October 2024.
Participating Programs
This is a global transfer bonus promotion, but for Singapore-based members, you'll be delighted to know that HSBC and OCBC are participating in it (circled in red).
In Singapore, both Citi and HeyMax offer transfers to Flying Blue, but are not included in this transfer bonus promotion.
Do note that both base and bonus miles will be awarded together at the point of transfer, and you should see two transactions being recorded in your Flying Blue account.
If you are transferring from OCBC, you should also see a notification informing you of the transfer bonus.
Why transfer to Flying Blue?
Flying Blue has a lot going for it. You can redeem a business class ticket to Europe for as low as 70000 miles, and enjoy a free stopover in Paris or Amsterdam. No plans to travel to Europe? Fly to Osaka for 47500 miles on Vietnam Airlines instead. There's a ton of sweet spots to be exploited.
