    There's also the option of (up to) 25,000 bonus points, which is a better deal IMO. You get 5000 bonus points each month for the first five months, as long as you've spent at least $500 that month.

    Pros:

    • Minimum spend of $2500 instead of $5000 (and you can spread it out over five months)
    • Extra 5000 bonus points
    • Full points value on your spend, as long as you keep it to under $1500 each month. If spending $5000 over three months, you're not going to get one point for every dollar spent. Due to the reduced rate after $1500 in a month, some of them are only going to get you half a point.

    Con:

    • It'll take longer before you've got all the bonus points

    • Wow very nice deal. How did you manage to find this deal?

  • Is there any foreign exchange fee?

  • How much is 20k points worth ?

    • It depends on what you use them for. I always use them for flights, and endeavour to extract at least 1.5¢ per point. Below that, and I'll pay for the flight instead.

      But if you're only going to use the points for gift cards and similar crap, don't expect as much.

  • Also consider the AMEX Velocity Escape card which has a 15,000 bonus through referral (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/american_express_referrals…).
    - no annual card fee
    - Earn 2 Velocity Points per dollar spent with Virgin Australia and 1 Velocity Point per dollar spent on all other purchases.
