Confused about Velocity points+cash
Looking at a Velocity Business Reward booking (Qatar-operated, one-stop via Doha) for 2 passengers.
The individual flight card shows a points+cash price per person (roughly 158k points + ~$650 cash each), but the "Booking total" at the top of the page shows a much higher all-points figure (539,000)
I'm about to transfer a large chunk of Amex Membership Rewards points across to Velocity specifically to reach the points+cash threshold, not the higher all-points number.
Has anyone actually gone through checkout on a Velocity reward booking recently, does the site let you select the cheaper points+cash fare once your balance covers it, or does it default/force you into the higher all-points total regardless? Trying to confirm before I commit points I can't get back. Velocity phone support is closed till Monday so hoping someone here has been through this recently.
Thanks so much and I apologise if this has been asked before - Reddit + points newbie...
