If you've been hoarding hotel reward points, you could trade them in for Virgin Australia Velocity Frequent Flyer points to redeem for anything from flights to upgrades and more. This guide explains how you can exchange points from partnered hotel loyalty programs (such as Starwood Preferred Guest and Hilton Honors) to your Velocity account.
The following table displays which hotel loyalty programs are available for transfers as well as their conversion rate to Velocity Points:
Hotel loyalty program | Exchange rate | Transfer limits |

Le Club AccorHotels | 1 Le Club AccorHotels = 1 Velocity Point | A minimum transfer of 4,000 Le Club AccorHotels Points per transaction. |
Choice Privileges | 20,000 Choice Privileges points = 3,000 Velocity Points | The minimum transfer amount is 20,000 Choice Privileges points per conversion. |
Hilton Honors | 10,000 Honors = 1,500 Velocity Points | Exchanges are in increments of 10,000 points. |
