Virgin Amex Velocity Platinum card now 110k points

Re: Yet another Velocity Amex 110,000 point offer!

Here is a list of Amex phone numbers

American Express Cards & Services

Consumer Cardmembers	1300 132 639
Merchants	1300 363 614
Corporate Cardmembers	1300 362 639
Foreign Exchange	1300 139 060
Global Travel Business	1300 666 083

I rang the consumer cardmembers line, and they assisted. In short, if you already have an AMEX issued by a BANK, you cannot tick/include those details on the form. If you do, the form will break. I was accepted within less than a minute with a text message and on screen confirm.

locopano - hope you get the points soon

I have the ability to give my card the hiding it deserves but at 0.5 PPD it will take some time to get it to 250k.
I'm going to transfer to SQ and build on my Citi points. Suites are in my sights.

For the 'purchases' earning 0.5PPD you may want to look at the AMEX Velocity Escape Card. It says it earns 1PPD for 'all other purchases'. $0 annual fee. It may cover what you need but always check with AMEX before applying.

I call it the 10 year wedding anniversary Eurotrip donation fund

Is it not against Velocity Ts and Cs to transfer points to a 'non-family' member. I wouldn't want to risk my account on something like this..

It is also worth considering the NAB Platinum Amex/Visa combo, which if you spend on the amex is 1.5pts per $ for everything. I am earning 10-15K pts per month from the credit card alone. NAB is awful, but the points are amazing.

I only got this one so I can get 3 pts /$ for booking Virgin flights and for the bonus points.

Hi burmans

SWMBO applied using your link a couple of minute ago and was instantly approved. I'm sure it won't take too long to spend the qualifying $1,000

Thanks for posting the link

Having applied for the card using Burman's link and now having received it, I thought I'd post SWMBO's link to see if anyone was willing to share the love around and for her to have a nice surprise of some bonus points

Thanks in advance to anyone who uses it.

Another positive news! After getting the card via burmans link last week, I have received the card early this week, and have got 110K registered after my few spending this week.

So yes the points comes thick and fast (in less than a week of applying)!

Another interesting thing is that with Velocity Krisflyer alliance, you can convert 110000 Velocity miles to 81481 Krisflyer miles, which allows you to fly from Australia 1 way Business to Europe, or 1 way A380 Suite class to Hong Kong or Tokyo via Singapore.

What an easy and awesome way to score yourself a trip on Business or First/Suites class on Singapore Airlines, one of the best in the world!

So if you are interesting in applying to score yourself 110K points, please use this link below:

It's always only been domestic flights.

I dont think PER-MEL has been offered for some years?

Could kick myself now after reading all those that received the bonus despite having a other Amex cards, I received mine but called up to ensure that I would receive the bonus after the spend and was told I was not eligible because of my David Jones Amex - so told them to cancel the card, I suppose its always a risk but well done to those that received the bonus

Thanks to kamchatsky I received a shiny new credit card yesterday. You bonus points should be on their way

For reference, I applied on the 15th, received an approval text message on the 16th and received the card on the 20th - pretty efficient in my books!

Re: Yet another Velocity Amex 110,000 point offer!

Well I got my card using a referral link . Just checked and 80,000 points have been posted at my $500 spend mark. I used the card over the weekend and am well over the $1000 spend now, but neither the charges nor the extra 30,000 points have appeared. I'm going to wait until the extra charges post and see what happens ...
Here's my link again if anyone feels like sharing the love

How long are you guys finding between when someone uses your link and the referral points post? A friend signed up and was approved using my link, card received and activated a few days ago and still nothing on my side?? :?:
