It can be difficult to work out how best to redeem your points and to
find award availability. Airlines make it as difficult as possible to
redeem your hard-earned points effectively. But there’s no need to waste
hours searching for award seats that might not even exist!
Together with Frequent Flyer Solutions (our sister website), we can help
with simple award flight bookings, right through to complex
round-the-world itineraries. Our team knows how to find award
availability, how to take advantage of frequent flyer program sweet
spots, and we can help you to maximise free stopovers & open-jaws. If you
have points with more than one airline or rewards program, we can also
advise on the best program to use. So your points go even further!

If you’re looking to collect Virgin Australia Velocity points for your credit
card spend, there are several co-branded Velocity Frequent Flyer credit cards in
Australia issued by American Express (Amex) and Virgin Money.
Alternatively, you could earn points with a flexible credit card rewards program
and transfer points to Velocity (or other frequent flyer programs) as you need
them. Most Australian credit card reward programs provide the option to transfer
points to Virgin Australia’s Velocity program – as does Flybuys. If you transfer
your credit card points during May or November, you can often even get bonus
Velocity points!
So, which are the best Australian personal credit cards for earning Velocity
Frequent Flyer points? We’ve compiled lists of the Velocity credit cards that
earn at the highest rate on everyday spend, as well as the best current Velocity
credit card sign-up bonus point offers…

CREDIT CARD SIGN-UP BONUS POINT OFFERS
Looking to quickly increase your Virgin Australia Velocity points balance?
Credit card sign-up bonus offers are one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do
it!
By applying for a new credit card, paying the annual fee (if applicable) and
completing a minimum spend on the card, you could earn tens or even hundreds of
thousands of Velocity Frequent Flyer points towards your next trip.
In August 2022, the best current Velocity sign-up offer belongs to the Westpac
Altitude Velocity Black credit card. With this card’s offer, you could earn up
to 120,000 bonus Velocity points!

credit card sign-up offer. Photo: Virgin Australia.
Beware that most banks impose credit card offer exclusion periods whereby bonus
points are not awarded to customers who have previously held a card with that
bank in the past 12-18 months.
You should also understand that applying for credit cards can negatively impact
your credit rating – particularly if you apply for multiple cards within a short
time. You can check your credit rating for free using services such
as Equifax or Get Credit Score.
LIST OF THE BEST CURRENT VIRGIN AUSTRALIA VELOCITY CREDIT CARD SIGN-UP OFFERS
To help you choose a Velocity points credit card with a great sign-up bonus
offer, we’ve put together a list of the best current Virgin Australia credit
card sign-up offers. This list is updated monthly and was last edited in August
2022.
Note: If you’re viewing this article on a smartphone, the tables below may look
better if you rotate your device horizontally.
Card Bonus Points Annual fee Offer expiry Minimum spend to earn bonus points 1.
Westpac Altitude Velocity Black 120,000 Velocity points $300 31 December 2022
Spend $6,000 within 120 days to earn 90,000 Velocity points. Renew to earn
30,000 points in the second year.
2. Citi Premier (Velocity offer) 100,000 Velocity points $300 31 August 2022
Spend $4,000 within 90 days.
3. Citi Prestige 200,000 Citi Rewards points (worth 100,000 Velocity points)
$700 31 August 2022 Spend $7,500 within 60 days.
4. Amex Platinum Charge 200,000 Amex points (worth 100,000 Velocity points)
$1,450 Ongoing Spend $5,000 within 3 months to get 150,000 points. Renew for a
second year to get another 50,000 points.
5. Citi Rewards 175,000 Citi Rewards points (worth 87,500 Velocity points) $149
($49 in first year) 31 August 2022 Spend $3,000 within 90 days to get 100,000
Citi points. Renew for a second year to get another 75,000 points.
6. Virgin Money Velocity High Flyer 80,000 Velocity points $289 29 September
2022 Earn 40,000 points per month when you spend at least $3,500 on the card for

7. St George Amplify Signature 150,000 Amplify points (worth 75,000 Velocity

months.
8. Amex Velocity Platinum 75,000 Velocity points $375 Ongoing Spend $3,000
within 3 months.
As an honourable mention, you can also currently earn 60,000 bonus flybuys
points with a $99/year Coles Rewards Mastercard when you apply by 31 October
2022 and spend at least $3,000 within 90 days of card approval. 60,000 flybuys
points are “only” worth 30,000 Velocity points, so this offer didn’t make our
list. But this low-fee card is popular because it also has no international
transaction fees.
Many of the current Australian credit card sign-up deals are discussed on the
Australian Frequent Flyer forum: AFF Credit Card Promotions Threads
CREDIT CARDS THAT EARN VELOCITY POINTS AT THE HIGHEST RATE
Looking to maximise the points earned from your everyday credit card spend?
We’ve also compiled a list of the top-earning credit cards in Australia for
Velocity Frequent Flyer points in 2022.
Below, we’ve ranked each credit card based on the number of Velocity points
you’ll earn per dollar on regular transactions, followed by cards with the
least-restrictive earning caps and finally the lowest annual fees.
Some of these cards earn points with loyalty programs other than Velocity
Frequent Flyer, such as a bank rewards program. These points can be transferred
to Velocity Frequent Flyer as needed. Where this is the case, we’ve listed the
equivalent Velocity earn rate per dollar taking into account the conversion
rate.
Unfortunately, many Australian credit cards limit the number of points that can
be earned each month at the full rate. Once this threshold is reached, some
cards will award points for any remaining spend during that month at a reduced
rate. There are even some cards with a fixed maximum number of points that may
be earned each month. If you’re a high spender, it’s worth looking for a card
that doesn’t have any earning cap.
LIST OF THE TOP-EARNING VELOCITY POINTS CREDIT CARDS IN 2022
So, which are the best credit cards in Australia for earning Velocity Frequent
Flyer points? Without further ado, here is our list which was last updated in
August 2022:
Card Loyalty program Annual fee Velocity points per $1 Cap on full earn rate 1.
Amex Velocity Platinum Velocity Frequent Flyer $375 1.25 – 2. Amex Platinum Amex
Membership Rewards (Ascent Premium) $1,450 1.125 – 3. Amex Explorer Amex
Membership Rewards (Gateway) $395 1 – 4. Virgin Money Velocity High Flyer
Velocity Frequent Flyer $289 1 $8,000/month 5. ANZ Rewards Black ANZ Rewards
$375 1 $5,000/month 6. Coles Rewards Mastercard Flybuys $99 1 $3,000/month
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH VELOCITY POINTS?
To give you a rough idea, 100,000 Velocity Frequent Flyer points could get you:
* Three return Virgin Business class flights between Sydney and Melbourne,
* Six return Virgin Economy class flights between Brisbane and Canberra,
* Two return Virgin Business class flights between Melbourne and Brisbane,
* One return Hawaiian Airlines Economy class flight between Sydney or Auckland
and Honolulu, or
* 10 Business class upgrades from Virgin Economy Flex fares on long domestic
routes (e.g. Sydney-Perth)
100,000 Velocity points is also enough to book a one-way United Airlines
Business Class flight from Sydney or Melbourne to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
If you can find an available flight, that would cost 95,500 Velocity Frequent
Flyer points and around $115 in taxes.
You can redeem Velocity points for United flights on the Virgin Australia
website.
This article from Frequent Flyer Solutions contains a more detailed list of what
you can do with different amounts of Velocity Frequent Flyer points.
