• Best credit card to earn Virgin Velocity points

    Newcomer to AFF (as well as Australia), birder is looking for our member’s insights regarding the best card to acquire Virgin Velocity points. In particular, our member is seeking a non-Amex card to be used for online purchases.

    Our helpful members are quick to offer their advice. One member is a great advocate for the Virgin Money High Flyer card
    Not too bad a deal, although you really need to use it to counter the costs. The yearly fee is $249, however you earn 1.25 points per $1 spend anywhere, which is pretty decent. It's also a Visa Platinum – so you can use it where Amex isn't accepted
    Our member then goes on to explain other offerings including the NAB Velocity
    @ $65 per year which gets you .75 points per dollar for AMEX and .5 points per dollar for Visa
    as well as the Westpac Altitude where
    points can be converted to Velocity points at a rate of .5 points per altitude point
    Another member, tries to convince birder to re-consider an Amex card
    the Platinum Edge card is pretty good value at $149 including a free round trip between most east coast destinations on VA/DJ, 3 points/$ at supermarkets, 2 points/$ at petrol stations and 1 point everywhere else, as well as 1:1 conversion to Velocity

    No lounge for me. I'll be coming directly from the CBD and don't really feel like lining Melbourne airports coffers any more than is absolutely necessary ;) Also it'll be just easier to drive to the...

    Re: Annoying Internet plans in hotels that cap the downloads

    I got badly caught in Darwin at the IHG a while ago and got a huge bill (>$100). Never again, Hilton now gets a lot of my business and I also carry my own dongle.

    Very annoying.
