Earn up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points. Receive 30,000 points for each month you spend $1,500 or more on eligible purchases in the first 2 months from card approval.

Half the annual fee i.e. $64 in the first year with the flight benefit of the $129 Virgin Australia Gift Voucher means that they are paying you to take this card!!

Minimum Credit Limit: $6,000

Minimum Income: $35,000

Offer is available to new and approved Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer Card account holders who apply by 31 October 2023. I'm not sure if there is an exclusion period since closing a previous Velocity flyer card, couldn't see anything in the T&Cs… but then again I've been staring at a computer all day and my eyes are about to fall out.

Mod Update: Extended to 31 January 2024

    They’ve offered 100k points (25k X 4 months) twice this year. Unless you’re desperate for Virgin points, I’d hold off until they offer it again.

    Good card though. $129 travel credit was easy enough to apply for and use.

    I got mine under the offer back in April. Just finished my 4th month of $1500/month => 25k Velocity points/month, plus the 30k bonus Velocity point offer back then. Not including the 30k, was $6000 for 100k points vs $3000 for 60k points now.

    • hindo on 03/08/2023 - 22:49

      This is my situation too. What’s your next step - churn or keep?

      • hubs1982 on 07/08/2023 - 21:26

        Haven't decided, as I have taken advantage of the travel credit yet…

        • tess1988 on 10/09/2023 - 11:27

          You can cancel the card and keep the travel credit, just go to virgin money website and redeem and it will be in your virgin Australia travel bank within a coupe of days

    • Marrk on 03/08/2023 - 23:07

      How long did it take you to get the points for each month? Just got my card last month and should have met the minimum spend requirements.

        They are scraped to your Velocity account 2-3 days after your statement date each month.

    when these companies getting rid of the annual fees!

      Probably never now.. People used to be flush with money, now people are desperate for any credit they can get. Game has changed.

  • kron on 03/08/2023 - 22:52

    Anyone know how to link your cc to the velocity ff account?

    Check the T&Cs carefully for bonus point spending exclusions.

    I get the feeling they have pulled their head in and made it pretty similar to other cards, but a few years back it excluded a few basics such as rego, insurance, water rates and council rates (the later now being a common exclusion). They were very loose with "semi government". I had to get the Ombudsman involved to get my points.

    Again, I think they realise the Ombudsman charges were racking up and it was easier to relax the t&cs.

      “Similar to other cards” uhhh… don’t they pretty much all have these exclusions?

      • tunzafun001 on 04/08/2023 - 09:54

        Not rego and insurance. Also they excluded water rates as semi gov. SA water is privately owned. AFCA agreed with me on that one and I got the points. But was a few week process to get points that auto landed with ANZ, Westpac, NAB, Qantas, St George, Kogan etc.

  • nickskewl on 03/08/2023 - 23:29

    Are payments to
    Strata
    Council
    Utilities
    Insurance counted towards $1500 spend?

      I was able to use DEFT to pay my rent on this card in January to get 100K bonus points (only cost $70 extra in fees). So if you can pay your bills using DEFT you should be able to.

  • cpox10 on 04/08/2023 - 00:31

    Which app does one use?

    I notice there is the Virgin Money Australia app, the Virgin Money Credit Card app, and the Virgin Money Mobile Banking app lol

      @cpox10 This is what I use: Virgin Money Australia [https://apps.apple.com/au/app/virgin-money-australia/id1198060050]

      About to cancel my card after receiving my bonus points and travel benefit to be ready to rinse & repeat when I qualify (I assume in 12 months?).

      • cpox10 on 04/08/2023 - 08:18

        Thanks mate =)

  • YoBargain on 04/08/2023 - 05:18

    Can velocity points be redeemed for retailer gift cards ? If so, how much $ equivalent to 60k points
    Or can it be used for travel only ?

    • kc7 on 25/08/2023 - 12:07

      Yes
      $350 Ultimate home gift cards = 67,000 points

  • hindo on 04/08/2023 - 06:43

    Anyone know if you cancel the card mid-month if you still get the points already earned for that month?

    • cyberdiamond on 04/08/2023 - 10:53

      You lose them, so wait for statement and for them to land in your velocity account.

    • Drakesy on 04/08/2023 - 10:56

      Personally i wouldn't cancel a card until all the points have landed.

  • Heybargain on 04/08/2023 - 07:58

    Got this on the last offer posted (100k points). Approved last Thursday night, card arrived Wednesday and activated. Annual fee charged same day as activation, and this morning I wake up to a statement. Be careful folk.

    • cyberdiamond on 04/08/2023 - 10:54

      That happened with my last card, I still got the next 4 statement 25k points after that.

    • akirakunnn on 04/08/2023 - 18:50

      Terms states that they charge the annual fee immediately from activation/first transaction.

      But yes, happened to me on my new card

  • babipanggang on 25/08/2023 - 03:40

    Hi, understand that government charges are excluded from "eligible purchases". Just wondering if anyone tried paying government charges such as council rates using Sniip (or any other), and whether these would count as an eligible purchase?

    • tess1988 on 10/09/2023 - 11:28

      If you pay via Sniip it will be fine I have done it 100 of times(well maybe not that much…)

    • happyadventurer on 19/09/2023 - 10:56

      I've found that paying council rates on my AMEX Explorer using PayPal on Australia Post Bill Pay will give me the normal 2 points instead of the 1 for government bodies. I wonder if I can do the same for this Virgin Money Card as it doesn't appear they can see that it's a government charge.

      I'll meet the first month spending with clear eligible transactions for the first month but will also pay for my council rates with above method. I'll see in the first statement whether I get points for the council rates.

    • 76F on 29/10/2023 - 19:03

      I usually pay with BPay via Zip (no fees) if that's an option.

  • boq on 11/09/2023 - 14:02

    Can the travel voucher be used on reward flights?

  • Heybargain on 06/10/2023 - 11:59

    Anyone not received their points / bonus points for last month? Previous month was quick after statement was issued but nothing yet.

    • rplusr on 10/10/2023 - 22:58

      Not received points yet either.

    • k2k8k5 on 28/10/2023 - 21:03

      does anyone know what their definition of "month" is? based on calendar month, a pre-fixed date, or the individual's activation date?

      e.g. if I get approved on 27th of the month, does that mean my first month only goes from 27th to 31st?

    5,000 bonus virgin points:

    Applied Sunday afternoon but didn't have time to upload documents. Got a call 24h later from Virgin Money offering me 5,000 virgin points bonus if i supply documents within 24h - deposited in 3 months time and there's a case note on the file to dispute it if not paid. Just a tip if you apply, hold off on documents for 24 hours IMO - they are desperate

    • Gyr on 12/01/2024 - 18:38

      Thanks, I tried this today and it worked.

    • edumacation on 13/01/2024 - 12:27

      Got the same thing too, applied at work and was going to upload documents once I got home. They called me within the hour to give that same offer.

      When do bonus points come through?

  • kc7 on 05/11/2023 - 12:58

    This offer has now been extended to 10 Jan 2024
