Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Offers & Discussion

[burmans]

I see Virgin Money doesn’t currently offer these cards (and not sure they are coming back), looks possible they are in wind down mode so unsurprising if the product isn’t getting much attention!

I had multiple calls with Virgin this was the timeline
- first 40k paid instantly on first statement
- second 40k earned in 2nd statement (nov)
- points transferred January 2nd
- system issues apparently from the migration last year
- paid in march statement

Been like that since the platform migration in November which was a complete disaster.

Except by looking at your Velocity points on their App, is there anyway to see how many points you earn via the Virgin Money card? Especially if you earn some via Virgin flights etc. I cannot see them on the monthly statement anymore or find them on the web or the Money App.

Seems like the product is just cruising without offering service anymore. I just hope they pay me the extra points after 12 months. As a retiree, applying for points earning cards becomes much harder.

The VM app will not show points earning nor on your statements.
It’s pretty opaque.

I agree... hence my question. I guess there is no answer.

Virgin Money (as NAB did with MyCard) is taking away any incentive to keep your card.

Biggest one for me being the earn rate will drop. Was $1 = 1 VFF. From 1 October it will be $1 = 0.75 VFF.

Piss poor.

I have the Flyer card, and the fee moves from $149 to $169 and the earn rate goes from $1 = 0.66 VFF points to 0.5 VFF points for the first $1500 per month and any over that going from 0.5 to 0.25 VFF points.

It's a raw prawn indeed.

I haven’t been notified of the changes as yet. I assume you were notified by email?
