Don't just sit idle and let the big banks cut your frequent flyer points: get your hands on a new American Express Velocity Platinum Card instead and keep your Velocity points flowing in!
It all starts with a nice bonus of 60,000 Virgin Australia Velocity points when you apply from August 2017 and spend at least $1,500 on the card within the first 3 months. As the public offer on this card is currently 50,000 points, that's 10,000 points more than you could earn by applying the 'normal' way!
On top of that, you'll also earn 2.5 Velocity points per dollar spent when booking Virgin Australia flights using the card and 1.5 Velocity points per dollar spent on almost all other purchases, including insurance charges and utility payments (telco, electricity, gas etc.), which previously earned fewer points, but now earn just as many points as other spend! On government charges such as payments to the ATO, you can also earn one Velocity point per $2 spent.
Best of all, all points are completely uncapped, so whether you spend a little or a lot every month, you'll earn points on everything you buy.
But it's not just points on offer with this card: every year AMEX also throws in a free return Virgin Australia domestic flight, and all of the following great features:
There's a $375 annual fee to pay, but when you consider the value of the free flight you get, the bonus points, the lounge access, the travel insurance and more, this card is sure to more than pay for itself for anyone who travels even a couple of times a year!
So, what are you waiting for?
You can apply here today!
I hope you've found this summary helpful and choose to apply via my link! I'm currently saving up my points for a holiday with my partner, so any bonus points are most gratefully received!
When applying via my referral link, you can earn 60,000 bonus Velocity points (that's 10,000 points more than the public offer of 50,000 points), while I'll earn 15,000 Velocity points if your application is approved, so much like an Uber referral, it's a win-win!
