Don't just sit idle and let the big banks cut your frequent flyer points on July 1: get your hands on a new American Express Velocity Platinum Card instead and keep your Velocity points flowing in!
It all starts with a whopping bonus of 100,000 Virgin Australia Velocity points when you apply by August 1 2017 and spend at least $1,500 on the card within the first 3 months.
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 as of today, earn more! 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 on selected routes (you can access a map via the application page to see where you could fly), 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!
(When clicking the link, you'll first see the red Velocity Escape card, but you can access this great offer simply by clicking on the dark-coloured Velocity Platinum card either at the top right or the bottom left of the screen.)
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 100,000 bonus Velocity 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. While this is the same bonus amount as is available direct from AMEX, as noted in a number of other AMEX referral posts, applying for your card via a referral link may increase your chances of earning bonus points if you're not otherwise eligible, such as if you already have a different AMEX card direct from AMEX.
