          Nah im not really in the cards game, last card i had opened was in 2023.

      • We on 27/05/2025 - 13:28

        Hi. Have you got the 30k bonus points? I only have 130k points landed on my account so far. Thanks.

      • We on 27/05/2025 - 14:38

        Hi @Succulent CN Meal. I've seem other people who applied via the Amex 120k welcome points offer posted that the 30k bonus points came together with the 120k welcome points. I've applied via the same 130k points offer as you did, and I've only seen 130k welcome points landed on my account so far, but not the additional 30k bonus point. Have you got your 30k bonus points? Thanks.

        • Succulent CN Meal on 27/05/2025 - 14:55

          Same as you with only 130k, Customer service said to wait 6 weeks, this was 2 weeks ago, So fingers crossed it comes through.

          • We on 27/05/2025 - 16:24

            @Succulent CN Meal: Which customer service did you call? I was choosing between the 130k points and the more straightforward 120k points (clicking through the 100k points link on velocity website and shown 120k points personalised) offers, and decided to go with the 130k one. But it seems that everyone who applied for the 100k/120k points offer got the 30k bonus points credited to their accounts together with the 100k/120k points on the same day. It makes me nervous now.

            • Succulent CN Meal on 27/05/2025 - 16:32

              @We: i used chat on velocity website

              • We on 20/06/2025 - 09:53

                @Succulent CN Meal: 6 weeks just passed for me, and I still haven’t got the additional 30k points. Have you got your 30k bonus points?

                • Succulent CN Meal on 20/06/2025 - 12:19

                  @We: unfortunately not.

                  • We on 20/06/2025 - 13:06

                    @Succulent CN Meal: I've read their T&Cs again, and am sure that we qualify for the additional 30k points. But I'm not sure if it's easy for their customer service representative to credit the points.

                  • goodfella on 01/07/2025 - 09:15

                    @Succulent CN Meal: Hello! Have you followed-up with the Velocity chat on missing points? I just contacted them and they told me the same, wait 6 to 8 weeks and then contact them back if points not received.

      Have tried this a bunch of times now across different browsers and keep getting either 100k or 120k when clicking into link via the amex 130k banner. Anyone else with the same issue?

  • bizarredeal on 06/03/2025 - 22:42

    New to churning. I have had an Amex for a very very long time the free one.
    So looks like that wont work.
    Is it worth opening a new Westpac accoint and going for a WP card as it says exisiting customers can have $49 first year annual fee. Anyone may know? Thanks.

  • meowmeowmeow on 07/03/2025 - 07:56

    Thought i'd have a whirl at applying for the AMEX - got the dreaded, we'll get back to you in 5-10 days so i assume i am declined :(

      dw i had that also, but after 5 days they approved me.

      just give them a call after a few days to follow up.

      meow.

      • meowmeowmeow on 07/03/2025 - 08:52

        i just called them and they said i was "unable to get a positive result". I got declined for the virgin card too. Gosh…the end of churning is suddenly here :(

  • deale on 07/03/2025 - 12:12

    I recall that the 18 month rules doesn't apply if you previously held a card from different amex reward program e.g. Qantas. Can someone confirm if this is correct?

  • gk19 on 07/03/2025 - 14:27

    What is a better deal between Velocity High flyer (80,000 velocity points for 7k spend, $329 annual fee, 2 domestic lounge pass, $129 flight voucher) vs Velocity Flyer card (50,000 velocity points for 3k spend, $149 annual fee, $129 flight voucher)?

    • CodeXD on 07/03/2025 - 14:30
      +1

      The better deal is up to you.

      Can you spend $3.5k each month for 2 months to get the full points?

      Can you take full advantage of 2 domestic lounge pass and $129 flight voucher? Or will you need to go out of your way to fly virgin and use them?

      • erd on 07/03/2025 - 17:05

        Add to that the min $15K limit which will affect your borrowing capacity

  • blushingelephant on 07/03/2025 - 14:46

    Has anybody received an email confirmation for this. How do you prove that you signed up if the points don't come through?

    I've had the Westpac Qantas but not the Velocity. Am I still eligible? I know it says Qantas up the top but in the T&Cs on the website, it's not very explecitly mentioned.

      Am I still eligible?

      No.

  • Borgasm on 11/03/2025 - 13:50

      When was the last time you applied for a card prior to the Westpac black? Also did Westpac give a reason for the rejection?

        The same time as I applied for another card and was rejected for them both. However I just applied for the NAB Signature Rewards and was approved within a day :)

  • sk1ppy on 12/03/2025 - 18:20

    I know they've got certain purchase exclusions to not get points eg council rates etc But do they exclude prepaid money gift cards, say from Kmart, BigW etc??

    • bk1973 on 13/03/2025 - 19:55
      +1

      I'm 99% sure that gift cards bought at Kmart, BigW, etc. will count toward the minimum purchases threshold. I have used Coles Pre-Paid Mastercards to reach purchase limits for AMEX, ANZ and possibly with Westpac a few years ago (can't remember). It could depend on who the "they" are.

    • Gmaster on 18/03/2025 - 10:42
      +1

      Gift cards purchased at retailers like BigW, Woolies, Coles do count as "eligible purchases" towards your minimum spend. I did this last night. Purchased a $400 Mastercard Gift Card from Woolworths and paid for my water bill.

  • harryjuly on 13/03/2025 - 22:45

    I have a question about applying for the American Express Velocity Business Card and wanted to ask if anyone who has applied before or has experience can help. I can only activate this bonus points promotion on my Velocity Frequent Flyer account (personal account). However, the terms for the American Express Velocity Business Card state that it should be also to a corresponding Velocity Business account, but the Velocity Business account doesn't have an option to activate this promotion. So, when I apply, should I fill in my Velocity Frequent Flyer account number or my Velocity Business account number to receive the bonus points? Thanks,

  • freestyle18 on 15/03/2025 - 13:32

    what counts as a new customer for the virgin money cards? still 12 months? can't find it on the landing page of the CC

    • freestyle18 on 15/03/2025 - 14:39

      nvm i also got the conditionally => auto declined. 13 month after last holding card

      • starburstyellow on 17/03/2025 - 22:58

        Interesting, Virgin/Citi normally has a 3-6months period Only (just to be safe). There is nothing in writing from them.

  • Scottstots on 18/03/2025 - 09:10

    Held and cancelled last year in Nov 2024. Reapplied last night and have been approved. Looks to still work for churning (for now).

    • bk1973 on 18/03/2025 - 11:48

      I'm guessing you're talking about the Virgin Flyer card?? Or perhaps the High Flyer Card?

      • CodeXD on 18/03/2025 - 11:52

        I thought they had every single card listed in the description and applied for them all last night simultaneously

  • MakeMoneyMoney on 20/03/2025 - 09:03

    I got denied on the velocity flyer card, ive never been denied a card before. Can I ask them for a review, or apply for another one of their cards?

    • nightelves on 20/03/2025 - 16:13

      Review will tell you the same thing. Being there done that. Applying for another Nab associated card will more than likely get you rejected as well.

  • johnn on 20/03/2025 - 15:18

    Eventually got rejected for the Amex Velocity Platinum (they could've just emailed me but they sent me a physical letter which took forever FFS), then applied for the Virgin Flyer and got approved. Last closed the same card in July 2024.

    PS for anyone applying, the 5k bonus points trick still works- when you submit the application online don't submit your payslips. You'll get a call the next day (which seems like a scam call tbh but I knew it was coming) saying if you send your payslips to the mentioned email address within 24 hours you'll get 5k bonus points. I got 5k the first time I signed up last year too.

    • nightelves on 20/03/2025 - 16:14

      How long did you have to wait before the 5k point posted?

      • johnn on 20/03/2025 - 16:24

        Honestly I'm not sure- whoever setup my account screwed up and put my full name into the first name field, so it didn't match my velocity account and my points didn't get transferred over for months until they figured it out.

        I believe around about the same time as either the first or second batch of 30k points (at the time).

        • CodeXD on 20/03/2025 - 16:58

      • allunlearn on 31/03/2025 - 10:18

        I mistakenly forgot to activate before submitting my application. It looks like I've been approved as well - I called them just now and they told me I wouldn't be eligible for the 30k bonus. It looks like I have nothing to worry about?

    • starburstyellow on 30/04/2025 - 17:33

      You got the points, before the bonus from velocity platinum amex?

      I signed up for the 30k, haven't reached minimum spend for bonus, only got few thousand from the spend. No signs on bonus yet :(

    This time around, declined again. I guess I'm on their shit list.

    • bohn on 24/03/2025 - 14:43

            @bohn: I’ve had it before and Westpac was notorious for it. Hence I know conditionally approved doesn’t mean anything.

      Unsure. I do think Virgin's cards are NAB-affiliated somehow. I'm not sure if that helps or hurts in terms of choosing Virgin.

Immediate access to a digital card for online purchases and they said the physical card is "on its way". Westpac > > ANZ when it comes to card application process.

  • cheapesteater on 02/04/2025 - 10:06

    Surprise rejection for me, never signed up to an Velocity or even NAB card before. Even had a few months gap between my last churned card. Income is not a concern - have held cards with 5x higher income requirements

  • frugalking08 on 26/04/2025 - 19:28

    A question on this, if I have activated the offer, applied for the Virgin Flyer card today (conditionally approved). I'll get the bonus 20k VFF points after meeting the $3k spend within the first two months.

    Question is am I able to stack this offer and get a further 20k VFF bonus points if I applied for the Westpac Altitude Platinum and met the $4k spend criteria on that card?
