    Has anyone received the confirmation email yet? Been 4 days since I made my selection.

    • auindie on 18/02/2023 - 10:41

      Dont think we need to wait for email or did i commit any mistake

      • scrone on 19/02/2023 - 10:56

        The terms and conditions tell you to wait.

        FWIW, even though the T&Cs say to wait for the confirmation email, there's this in the FAQs:

        I forgot to make my exclusive benefit choice, what can I do?
        If you’ve submitted an application for a Velocity Points Earning credit card within the offer period (between 13 February 2023 and 31 March 2023), you will still be able to submit an exclulsive benefit selection here until 11.59pm AEST on 31 March 2023.

        • Ehty on 21/02/2023 - 15:41

          I got an email "thanks for selecting 250 Status Credits* as your exclusive benefit. Once you're approved and meet the minimum spend criteria for the individual credit card offer you've applied for, your benefit will be applied."

          • auindie on 21/02/2023 - 15:43

            @Ehty: Lol I received my card as well today, Hope they dont create any issue

    Anyone know what the exclusion period is from virgin money credit cards? I closed one in early October. I think it may be 3 months but not sure..

    I also have a citi bank one open atm so unsure if that will have any impact..

  • Flintz on 21/02/2023 - 15:39

    "(d) meet the minimum spend criteria for the eligible offer associated with the individual card if the application is successful"

    Do we have to do this by 31st March too? The dates in the T&C's seem to infer we only have to select our bonus by end of March.

    The Virgin Money CC seems to be over 4 months

  • Forenti on 22/02/2023 - 14:45

    How long has it taken everyone's confirmation email to arrive after selecting the offer?
    Qantas 20,000 points promo email was immediate but not this one

      Think my email arrived after a week or so.

  • Hamish125 on 23/02/2023 - 10:41

    Was looking at the Virgin Velocity Flyer Card - 1500 spend per month. If it was looking unlikely to make the spend limit on a month would it be possible to buy something like a coles gift card? Couldn’t see it listed as an exclusion in the Ts and Cs. Anyone ever tried something like this?

    • meowmeowmeow on 23/02/2023 - 11:48

      Should be fine, would just look like a normal transaction at Coles on your statement (assuming you buy it from Coles)

  • xiaozaocha on 23/02/2023 - 12:19

    stack with Amex referral bonus?

  • FirstWizard on 23/02/2023 - 13:46

    Unrelated question. Does anyone know if Virgin (High/)Flyer Credit cards support Google Pay?

    Supported banks section under Google Pay list "Virgin Money Cards". However, The cards official website only lists Apple pay and Samsung Pay.

    • zagzzig on 23/02/2023 - 14:05

      No. I have tried to add it, but failed.

    • meowmeowmeow on 23/02/2023 - 14:12

      They are administered by Citibank. I hear Citi signed an agreement with Samsung Pay back in the day without realising nobody used it, so they can't offer Google Pay until that contract ends.

      • FirstWizard on 23/02/2023 - 14:32

        Cheers!

        I've had/have cards with Bankwest and CommBank that support both Samsung Pay and Google Pay.
        Just checked Virgin money website, their debit cards support Apply, Samsung and Google Pay.

        Hopefully they will add support to CCs soon.
        But yeah, it might be a limitation with Citi. Don't think their debit cards have support for Google pay either.

        • meowmeowmeow on 23/02/2023 - 17:09

          Let's hope that contract with Samsung ends soon haha

      • daanish on 24/02/2023 - 10:16

        Unless Virgin cards administered by Citi are separate from Citi branded cards which are administered by NAB then this is no longer true. I have my Citi Rewards card from this deal loaded into my Google Wallet and I almost exclusively use it via NFC on my phone.

        • meowmeowmeow on 24/02/2023 - 10:49

          No idea…maybe NAB are not part of the original Samsung agreement

  • capslock janitor on 02/03/2023 - 14:27

    Just received the 30k bonus points for a Velocity card I signed up for in December (have to keep it for another month to get the 25k bonus for March). So seems this campaign is retrospective to some extent for those who have recently signed up for a Velocity card.

  • Twitchh on 05/03/2023 - 14:49

    Anyone know if I can sign up for the Amex velocity platinum using a friend's Amex referral link and then still be eligible for this 30K promo?

  • flibbidyflop on 11/03/2023 - 01:38

    Is anyone else getting an error with virgin money application after you enter your name, address etc?

  • madseason on 11/03/2023 - 11:30

    Anyone else knocked out the spend early on the Westpac card and seen any movement with the bonus points or their nominated velocity reward?

    • joaawh on 15/05/2023 - 08:32

      I knocked it out within my first month in March and only just received the 70k bonus points in my 3rd statement. Haven't seen the 30k bonus from this offer yet either.

  • notauser on 12/03/2023 - 00:56

    Would anyone know if I will still get the bonus if I activated the offer after applying for one of the eligible credit cards?
    Terms and conditions indicate it's a no…

  • JohnyEnglish on 14/03/2023 - 16:35

    i still havent received confirmation. can i go ahead and apply for cc? will i stil receive 30k bonus points?

  • meowmeowmeow on 15/03/2023 - 18:53

    Applied for virgin flyer today - gosh that application form was a fight to get through, got error messages basically every time I clicked next. Approved within a couple hours though!

    • 1bargain on 16/03/2023 - 09:32

      Did u have to scan and send them your ID again? I gave them ID and payslips and all during application. It went through quick but then they emailed and asked for all the same thing again. Need to call up to ask what’s going on but waste of time.

      • meowmeowmeow on 16/03/2023 - 09:41

        No I only had to submit payslips. I gave my drivers licence number in the application. Maybe your ID check didn't work online so they need to do it manually?

        I just hope i'm considered a "new customer", it's been just over a year since i cancelled my last virgin money card.

      • Ehty on 16/03/2023 - 10:41

        I think the email is something automated, I also got it but didnt need to send again after I checked with them.

          Thanks so much for clarifying. Recently had a new license issued from Optus hacking so reluctant to send across the new one. The Latitude saga unfolding isn’t making handing over my ID much easier.

                • 1bargain on 05/04/2023 - 19:40

                  @Brick50: Still waiting.
                  Been holding off a big spend but it’s been too long so I caved in and paid today. Pretty annoyed it’s been taking too long. I reckon it will come tomorrow when I don’t desperately need it anymore.

                  • Brick50 on 05/04/2023 - 22:33

                    @1bargain: Agreed! Same here, spent a fair bit today as I am sick of waiting.

                    Atleast the $1500 a month shouldn’t be too hard to hit compared to most other cards, but someone said the statement date starts the day you’re approved so we may only have a couple of weeks to meet that once the card finally arrives

                      @Brick50: Thanks for pointing that out to me. It’s not fair if they take more than 2 weeks to arrive. It’s like it’s their strategy to make us fail to meet criteria so they don’t have to pay bonus.

          Got a call ~11am the next day saying I've mistakenly put my yearly income as monthly income 🫣. They approved the card while I was on the phone.

          Also bravo on their verification requirements when calling. They asked me the 3rd letter of the answer I put for my secret question and the second digit of my DOB.

    If I have registered for the bonus eg. 30000 points or $200 Coles voucher and received email confirmation prior to 30/3/2023 but only apply for the credit card after the expiry date, do I still get the bonus or do you have to apply for the credit card before the expiry date

    • always-confused on 06/04/2023 - 23:17

      To my understanding, it's apply and be approved by 31st March

    • llanfachreth on 09/04/2023 - 00:01

      I am trying to find this out too. The way I read it, it doesn’t mention anything about needing to apply by that date, just register for the bonus. Couldn't find any email address to contact and confirm.

    • cambam2 on 27/04/2023 - 10:59

      Did you get an answer to this?

  • chicken-little on 10/04/2023 - 23:10

    Anyone else having issues with not receiving monthly bonus points on the Virgin Velocity Flyer card due to not meeting minimum spend because the card didn’t arrive for > 2 weeks (from WA) and the statement starts from date of approval? If so, were you able to complain about this and who did you speak to? Other credit cards now allow you to add the card to apple pay as soon as it’s approved - this one you’re forced to wait for the physical card. So far i’m not stoked with virgin money - the app is pretty hopeless and the OTPs take forever to come through.

    • 1bargain on 11/04/2023 - 18:42

      I haven't received my card for 3 weeks. Now I'm worried. Following..

      • chicken-little on 12/04/2023 - 19:43

        Have talked to them on the phone. First person adamantly refusing to honour points. She said as it arrived within 2 weeks (on the 10th business day) that that is considered normal and it's my responsibility to meet the minimum spend in the following two weeks (even though cards generally arrive within 5 business days and other banks allowing you to set up apple pay from date of approval). I then asked to speak to the manager and was told there's no point because the outcome wouldn't be different, I pushed for it and spoke to the manager who agreed to credit 20k points (she said this was the maximum and they cannot honour the 25k). Doubt I'll qualify for the 30k bonus now at the end of 4 months though…

        • 1bargain on 12/04/2023 - 21:25

          🙁 not fair. Should give buffer for delivery. I’ll call them asap. Still nothing in the mail.

  • The8guy on 15/04/2023 - 13:10

  • atlas on 18/04/2023 - 21:41

    Still haven't received mine. Wondering if I'll even receive it before the first period finishes!

    • Ehty on 19/04/2023 - 12:15

      You can call them , they probably send the new one via priority mail.

    • 1bargain on 19/04/2023 - 12:18

      I called them. They will allow me to combine 2 months spend so I have time to receive my new card and meet eligibility.

    • atlas on 26/04/2023 - 21:16

      So I did call they sent a new one express. 2 days later… the old card then showed up! Annoyingly had to wait for the new one to arrive (2 more days later) because the first was cancelled.

      They said if I don't meet the min spend to just call and they would give me the points.

      • 1bargain on 26/04/2023 - 21:35

        A week after I called, the old one turned up. Someone accidentally received it and reposted.

        Darn, now I’m still waiting for the new card and I can’t wait to put big spend on it. It’s been more than a month now. So tired of waiting.

  • nightelves on 26/04/2023 - 16:48

    So it seems there's no time limit on getting the bonus points once you get approved for a credit card. That's good to know.

    • fvn on 09/05/2023 - 11:27

      I am in the same boat. A friend of mine who has this same card noticed that he and his partner are credited points on the 15th of every month (even though they are on different statement cycles). I will wait until then, and if no points, I plan to follow-up with Virgin Money.

  • winteroce on 09/05/2023 - 19:21

    My points just hit!

      • winteroce on 10/05/2023 - 10:22

          That’s annoying but thanks for the heads up
          Did they say what was wrong and if next month it should go through automatically?

            @Seeker888: Nope, didn't say what was wrong. They said next month should be auto.

        • chillybags on 10/05/2023 - 14:28

          What number did you call? Virgin money or velocity?

          • winteroce on 10/05/2023 - 15:12

            @chillybags: Virgin Money

            • chillybags on 10/05/2023 - 16:45

              @winteroce: I tried calling them and was told there’s a technical glitch in the background, preventing customers with bills generated on the second and third of the month receiving points. They said they are already aware and working on the issue. I could not provide a time frame for it to be rectified. They said they were unable to manually process the point.

              • Seeker888 on 10/05/2023 - 16:59

                @chillybags: Thanks, good to know they’re working on it

                  @Seeker888: My points came through today. Can also confirm that I received my 250 status credits and my partners 250 status credits after the first virgin money flyer statement. I’m now only two eligible flights away from gold status.

                  • Seeker888 on 11/05/2023 - 15:51
