15,000 Bonus Velocity Escape AMEX - $0 annual fee - 2/1 PPD earn.

[psi999]

Hopefully not stepping on anyone’s toes here but I noticed the AMEX Velocity Escape Card is now (unless i haven't noticed before) offering 15,000 Velocity FF points on signup (after spending $300) using a referral link – double the public offer of 7,500 points.

Velocity Escape particulars:

- $0 annual fee
- 1pt per $ on general spend
- 2pt per $ on spend with Virgin Australia
- Access to Amex connect (cashback offers like the current spend $40 at BP get $10 statement credit up to 3 times etc)
- Local champion (ability to earn an extra pt per $, up to 10,000 bonus points)
- Lower than most reward cards min credit limit of $2000
- Lower than most reward cards $40,000 income requirement
- No limit on points earn
- Token basic purchase insurance
- No additional charge for supplementary cards

Not a bad earning card but where it comes into its own is for utilities, insurance, telecommunication providers and government bodies (including ATO) as you'll earn a full point per $ (whereas most other AMEX issued cards only pay 0.5).

It’s certainly not the best AMEX card on offer but a good deal for $0, also not a bad idea to have a proprietary AMEX issued given the shakeup coming over the next year for bank issued AMEX/Visa companion cards (which is why I hold this card).

Hi All, Here's my link too as this offer is still valid and rad for a free card:

http://amex.com.au/refer/anthocMQ40

With no annual fee ever, this is a free and easy way to score 15,000 velocity points.

Just to confirm that as of January 2017: I'll receive 10,000 Velocity Points for each friend approved for a Card using this referral link. You'll receive 15,000 Velocity Points if you are approved for a American Express® Velocity Escape Credit Card and spend $750 in their first 3 months of Card Membership.
other specs:
-Earn 2 Velocity Points per dollar spent with Virgin Australia
-Earn 1 Velocity Point per dollar spent on all other purchases
-0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months

thanks!
