    Half annual fee in the first year38

    Enjoy $64 annual fee in the your first year, and $129 after that.

    probally lowest annual fee

    • Tock on 06/11/2023 - 10:01

      For Westpac cards (I already had a Virgin Money card this year), you can access a reduced annual fee if already a customer. Still have to pay the silly rewards program fees though.

      E.g. $49 instead of $99 annual fee for platinum card:
      Already with Westpac? Sign in to apply for a $49^^ card fee for the first year (reverts to $175 thereafter).​ A $75 annual Velocity Rewards Program fee still applies.

      • Tock on 06/11/2023 - 15:24

        Also worth noting with Westpac:

        Offer not available if you’ve held an Altitude Platinum or Altitude Black card with Altitude Rewards, Qantas or Velocity in the last 12 months. T&Cs apply.

      • Marrk on 06/11/2023 - 15:38

        Looks like you need to deposit $2,000 per month (Everyday bank account) to not be slugged with their $5 per month fee? Doable, though an annoying obstacle worth noting. Alternatively, no fee if younger than 30 or a full-time student.

    • Mugsy on 06/11/2023 - 10:02

      Yeah, seems to be lowest annual fee.

      I miss the CitiRewards deal with 60k points and no annual fee I got earlier this year.

    it does not state it is only for 1 card, anyone know if you can apply for 2 cards and get 30,000 bonus each?

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 10:21

    I've had 100k VFF sitting there for ages, this is an easy 90k pts.

    I have apre Krisflyer too, unsure weather to sell or transfer and lose a percentage.

    I could extend for 6 months, but I'm over Krisflyer expiring miles.

    • GeneralKeen on 06/11/2023 - 10:25

      If your KF is expiring and you transfer over to VFF, would it extend the validity?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 11:31

        If you transfer to VFF, it stays forever as long as you earn VFF every 18-24 months.
        However you lose a % transfering to VFF which is ridiculous considering Krisflyer pts are worth more.

  • Ryder08 on 06/11/2023 - 10:58

    Is this worth it for someone who doesn’t travel? What value gift card could I exchange 90k points for?

    • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 11:36

      Well, like many others on this forum, you could probably sell them, which would be $900.

  • starcub on 06/11/2023 - 11:01

    It only shows on the App and their website doesn't mention this offer. The website still just says:
    "Earn up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points16 - Receive 30,000 points for each month you spend $1,500 or more on eligible purchases in the first 2 months from card approval."

      depends on your credit history, I would say no more than 1 or 2 a month. As ive been rejected a lot lately despite my high rating, its just from all the enquiries.

      • SydOzber on 29/11/2023 - 10:55

        Same happened to me. But when I uploaded the same documents to the portal(you should’ve received an email saying more documents required) it was approved in less than 5 hours

    • ashyboy on 29/11/2023 - 12:10

      Applied on the 6th. 3 days later got email for document upload so did that. After a week and 3 calls I got a identity verification in the mail must be done at the post. Did that last week, still no card or heard anything back. Virgin is giving me ANZ vibe

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 12:25

    Do we have to worry about this 30k bonus, or it is automatically applied when you apple for one of the selected credit cards?

    We don't have to activate anything?

  • Food on 06/11/2023 - 12:35

    Would we also get the $129 VA credit through the VM card as a churner?

    • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 12:42

      You would have to use it, or sell it before canceling I imagine.

      From my experience last time… my credit was still there in travel bank account even after cancelling card and I was able to use it after few months. Hope this helps.

        Can confirm its still there after you cancel. I actually booked flights Perth to Syd with velocity points and managed to use the travel bank credit to upgrade the seats to economy x after i had purchased the flights.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2023 - 12:41

    Have signed up for the Westpac Altitude Platinum Credit Card with 70,000 points offer (already have the Virgin Money Flyer card from a promotion earlier this year)
    Signed up for an everyday bank account with Westpac ($5 per month unless you deposit $2k per month) in order to get the reduced $49 fee for the first year + $75 annual Velocity Rewards Program fee
    Seems to be worth it for 100,000 points total

      Think this might be the way to go

    • Jokerchris2000 on 07/11/2023 - 06:58
      +1

      Thinking about the same. I would like to have a card with insurance included as our family will travel home to Europe for 6 weeks next year. The insurance alone would cost $800 otherwise so this card might be worth it.

      So overall fee comes down to 125$ and then you have to pay $60 for the everyday bank account if you don’t deposit money into?

      Regards,
      Christian

      • Marrk on 07/11/2023 - 07:28

        I’d look at the insurance closely, often insurance included with credit cards isn’t quite as good.

        I suspect that the everyday account would only be required until you are charged the annual fee/could then be closed. Ideally the monthly everyday fee can be avoided by transferring money between your actual bank account and this one - should be quick if using Osko transfer methods each way.

        • Jokerchris2000 on 07/11/2023 - 19:01

          Good point. I was browsing the PDS for the Westpac one and it looked kind of straight forward. I think would really only need it for emergency medical so hope that’s fine.
          But if anyone has some experience from claiming with westpac let me know.

          Guess one needs the everyday account setup before applying for the card as the fee is usual the first thing they charge right…

        • blushingelephant on 08/11/2023 - 12:26
          +1

          Actually credit card insurances are pretty good. I have claimed probably 5x and have never been denied. Only thing to watch out for is more extreme sports and dangerous activities is sometimes excluded (but not always). But always read the pds obviously.

          • JutakuHome on 14/11/2023 - 13:03

            @blushingelephant: Ditto! I've made 4 claims and each have been relatively straightforward. Never been denied cover for illness, loss damage or theft. Certainly beats paying hundreds for stand alone travel insurance

    • asian bargain hunter on 15/11/2023 - 23:40

      did you sign up for the bank account after you got approved or beforehand? don't want to sign up and then not get approved but also want to avoid paying the $175 annual fee

    • whyisave on 23/11/2023 - 21:29

      Paying $75 Rewards Program fee kind of diminishes the deal,
      and then paying $49 annual fee on top of that, too.

      The thing is, Westpac is the last bank I can churn my card to,
      as I have already run out of banks to go to,
      greater than the period of "last 12 months" haha

  • CheapAsianGurl on 06/11/2023 - 21:12

  • bk1973 on 07/11/2023 - 09:00

    Does Virgin allow you to add the card to a digital wallet upon acceptance? Travel will get in the way of me waiting for the physical card and meeting the spend requirement. I know with the boost saver, I was able to add the card to a digital wallet right away.

    Can anyone please advise, comparing Virgin Money Velocity Flyer and HSBC SA Gold, which deal is worth better?

    VM gets 90k VFF with a $65 annual fee. 3k min spend. 6k min credit.
    HSBC gets 50k Aeroplan and 1-yr SA gold status for some benefits, e.g., lounge and luggage, with no annual fee. 4k min spend. 6k min credit.

    • zan5hin on 07/11/2023 - 19:53
      +2

      The SA card depends on how much flying you are doing each year. If you are frequently going long distances it can make sense.

      Why do you need status? Are you flying frequently in Economy?

      But American Express Platinum has more ancillary benefits, besides the large signup bonus, you get priority pass. AMEX MR points conversion to Star Alliance has been devalued recently, but not much we can do, everything gets devalued eventually.

      I went 6 week around the world on krisflyer miles. Some lounges were through my business class ticket. My amex priority pass as well when doing extra extra flights in economy or because reviews said PP lounge was better.

    I just got approved for the Westpac velocity platinum card. Expecting 70k + 30k points.

    I am a bit wary of applying for the Virgin one because Citi has rejected me a few times for no good reason even though I keep my credit limits low and my salary is adequate for any platinum card.

    I still have open a St George platinum for $6,000, and the AMEX platinum. The Westpac portal asked for the limit on the amex card, but it's a charge card, so I just put "$3000". What do others do in this case?

    For anyone wanting to apply for the Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Card, if you hold off on uploading employment/income proof, they'll give you a call and offer you 5k additional points for providing documentation within 24 hours of the call. I applied on Tuesday (public holiday) at 9am and received a call on Thursday at 5:20pm.

    They mentioned that the 5k points would be credited after 90 days if I uploaded the required employment/income documentation within 24 hours of the call and I'm approved for the card. I asked for confirmation of the 5k offer (in case the points aren't credited) and they gave me a reference number for the call.
