Westpac Velocity Altitude Black - 180,000 bonus Velocity Points - 1st year annual fee $200 (+ program fee $75)

This looks like a really good deal, just before the mid 2026 when the gate could be shut to all of us. Not sure if this one stacks with the 30K Velocity offer at the bottom:

Velocity post booking

www.westpac.com.au

Get up to 180,000 bonus Velocity Points​

Plus, a reduced first year card fee of $200** (reverts to $295 p.a. thereafter).
Get up to 180,000 bonus Velocity Points~ — 120,000 Velocity Points in year 1 if you spend $6k+ on eligible purchases† within 120 days of new card approval and an extra 60,000 points with $6k+ spend on eligible purchases† within 120 days of card anniversary in year 2.


Offer not available if you’ve held an Altitude Platinum or Altitude Black card with Altitude Rewards, Qantas or Velocity in the last 24 months. New cards only. T&Cs apply.




Not sure if this stacks with this (bonus 30K points, making it 210K over 2 years) but worth a try:

I wonder if this has dropped their applications or just different players are stepping up

Looks like the NoNames have found their next credit card. Waiting out exclusion periods for most of the others so this is perfect until NAB comes back into play mid-year.

Make sure you activate the Velocity 30K offer first, before clicking that specific link to apply. You may get 210K VFF points (over 2 years)

My exclusion period expires 13 Feb, great timing! Activated the 30k bonus last week

I successfully applied for this card last month and have spent the $6000 required for the bonus. I received the first statement this morning which shows both the standard and bonus points have been awarded. However, no points have landed in my Velocity account. I’m probably being paranoid, but is there normally a delay in Westpac transferring points to Velocity.? With my other cards (all QFF), the points are there when the statements are issued.

I was hoping to apply for this but am on holiday o/s (Vietnam) until after the deadline for the 30K. Does anyone know from experience whether card applications are more likely to fail if lodged from overseas?

Did anyone apply for this and has received the full 120k points?

The T&Cs state that:

You will receive an initial 90,000 bonus points if you spend $6,000 or more on eligible purchases within 120 days of card approval. You will also receive an additional 30,000 bonus Points within 45 days of receiving the initial 90,000 bonus Points.

I received 90k on 22 June. On the same date I got 30k points, which doesn't mention Westpac and appears to be the recurring Velocity offer of an additional 30k for signing up to cobranded credit card. I did remember signing up for that promo but didn't think I was eligible in this case due to dates.

Obvs I'm coming up on 60 days now and no sign of another 30k from Westpac.

I got 90 (westpac) + 30 (velocity) + 30 (westpac) after a complaint). Ozbargain has a big thread on this
