Have thrown only one or two links on here in various forums from memory and never had a referral used so I will give things another go.
Things are a little quiet on the Velocity points accrual at present but with the introduction of the Melbourne to Honk Kong service and Melbourne to LA availability might well pick up soon. Also with KrisFlyer raising their rates Velocity is now better in most cases to book Singapore Airlines Y and J. Of course if you want that once in a lifetime experience you can still transfer points to KrisFlyer and book suites. Plenty of availability with Singapore through Velocity.
The card that got me started is the Amex Velocity Platinum
For $349 PA you get
80,000 Velocity Points when you spend $1,500 in the first 3 months of Card Membership.
You also receive
Up to 3 Velocity Points per dollar spent
1
Virgin Australia domestic return flight each year. You can use this flight yourself or book it for anyone else. Sydney Perth is not permitted but Perth-Sydney is so if you live in the West or know someone who does this flight alone is valued at much more than the annual card fee. Return flights are available between most other centres.
I would really appreciate anyone who clicks on my link as I will receive 30,000 points for your using it. Once you have the card you can create a link for family & friends to receive 30,000 pts if they use. (up to 200000 per year).
