      To apply for an American Express Velocity Business Card you need to:
      Be aged 18 years or over
      Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
      Be a Director or Controller of the business
      Have a good credit history and no payment defaults
      Have an annual business revenue of $75,000 or more
      Have a valid ABN registered for GST

      Information to have ready:
      Your personal income and your business revenue
      Your driver’s licence (if you have one)
      The details of your business’ ownership as it appears on ASIC (for the Director and/or Beneficial Owner)

      So, yes

    • Have an annual business revenue of $75,000 or more

      Not sure if they really mean revenue or just turnover.

    Can a business card like this be used to service everyday expenses? Or must they be business related expenses?

  • So if you have a personal Amex card already, can you get the business Amex card for sign up bonus?

    • Im interested in this

    • No

      I received mine today and called. They confirmed that I was eligible for the points bonus but I think it was because I’d been a customer for almost 20 years.

  • Sounds like i have to start a business…

    • And gross $75k annually

        Hedge fund it is.

  • Can someone share referral link for "American Express Platinum Business Card" .

  • My last Amex business card they didn't even ask for proof of turnover. I think if you have history with them they are extremely relaxed on approvals.

  • +1

    Applied for this without supplying financials.
    Simply stated my turnover.
    Card was approved in under 5 minutes.

  • Anyone applying for this offer, make sure you club it with this offer of an additional 30K points or 200 status credits.

  • Has anyone had an experience where if you apply for Amex card after cancelling a previous one 6 months ago, you still got the bonus?
    Or are they pretty stringent

  • +1

    finally got the card, didnt need to supply financials either

    • After submitting the form, does it instantly approve or says it’s being processed ?

      • They had issues with id verification so they called us a few times. The bonus points show up as soon as you spend over the minimum.

        • How long would you say after the last call made you got the approval?
          They also just called me to confirm ID.

  • +1

    Received my 200k velocity to my personal velocity account. Easy.

    • I am wondering if ATO payment will count towards eligible transactions to meet the criteria? It isn't mentioned in exclusion. Wondering if you know?

  • Has anyone got their account upgraded to gold? If yes, how long it took after meeting the spending criteria?

    • Took me 5 weeks from after hitting point spend (with lots of emails and barely any replies). The gold benefit gives you up to 12 mths to allocate to a velocity member, which is handy as don't intend to use it immediately.

      • So we need to talk to chat/support and tell them to assign the gold membership? What about the pilot gold as well?

        • Just been on chat with AMEX, 1st rep linked me the card benefit page and said here it is…
          2nd rep tells me to ask Velocity for gold since they have access to it….
          I remember a time AMEX used to have good CS
