Last week I signed up to the Amex velocity platinum card and was pleasantly surprised that the referral from this Previous Deal now gets 80k velocity points instead of the initial 60k. The Deal had been update but not reflected in the title so it might go un-noticed
Thought its was worth sharing as it is pretty good value (even at $349 ) after you add in all the benefits.
Examples of what you can get for your points
- 8 x Sydney to Melbourne trips
- return to Auckland from Sydney (55k points - 25k left over)
- return to Los Angeles (Points + pay - extra $150)
So Alone you can get a return flight to Los Angeles for $500 which is a pretty good deal.
Also get
- 1 FREE Domestic return flight - depends which airport you depart from
- 2 x single entry passes to the virgin lounge
- 2 x single entry passes to the Amex lounge
- A number of insurance policies as part of your card benefit (Transport accident, Travel insurance, purchase protection, refund protection)
- Access to Amex cardholder deals.
I had no trouble being approved for 3k limit with a 50k salary.
