Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer

Bonus points offered was 20,000 points each month for first 3 months which is awesome. However the card has a capped earn rate for the top rate, then reduces for subsequent spends, which is not great. Limited insurances offered with the card as well.

This credit card gives you a good Velocity Point for every dollar you spend. You can just link your Velocity number and the points will be transferred to your Velocity membership each month. Very nice and easy! I signed up when there was a promotion to get bonus Velocity Points if I spent more than $1500, and also I got $129 credit to spend with Virgin Australia and I only need to pay $64 annual fee. I haven't used this card overseas or to do balance transfer so I cannot comment on that but I use it for my daily spend as a quick way to accumulate Velocity Points.

Got this card as a standby for an upcoming overseas trip. The overseas fees are somewhat high compared to other cards. As this is a back up card only I thought that the sign up bonus points made the application worth it.

Generally its handy to use it overseas however fees are high
Transfer money to card I found it hard
I enjoyed the 14 months interest free period
But very hard to accumulate points

The card is pretty basic, but the current offer for bonus points is pretty decent for the reduced annual fee in the first year. The application process was pretty quick and I received the card not long after.
The card I received is suppose to have paywave, but it doesn't work, the terminal won't even register it so I have to insert the chip every time.
It doesn't work with Apple or Google Pay, which sucks.
The Virgin Money website and app are very underwhelming.
In a nutshell, it's a throwaway card that I wouldn't bother keeping past the first year.

Another branded card which has Citibank behind the scenes. This means poor customer service and often-bumpy application experiences.

I think the only time to bother with this card is when there is a particularly good signup bonus (like right now - Oct 2019). The Virgin Australia cards have complicated bonuses usually - spend X amount each month for Y months and if you meet these requirements you'll get a certain set of bonus points for each of those months. I did manage to get some extra points because during the application process they requ...

I haven't use my card overseas yet. Its easy to transfer my balance to this card. I am quite satisfied with the rewards. It is simple easy to accumulate points and simple to redeem them.

I went for the bonus points promotion which was my main focus. They also provided a flight voucher (domestic). The points you gain afterwards are not really comparable but a bonus.

This is a great card in general, offering lounge passes, and Virgin flight credit ($149). I preferred the old system of a flight redemption.
Never had a problem using it, and the Virgin Money app helps track usage and bills.
The frequent flyer reward points per dollar are on par with more expensive (annual fee) cards, and are linked directly to your Velocity account. Likewise the lounge passes are linked directly to your Velocity account, so easy to claim at the airport lounge door.
Only downside is the flight credit needs to be ordered in advance, and is issued as a gift card. So great if you know you are travelling in the next 6 months, but not so great if you notice a sale fare come up and want to grab it quickly.

Have travelled a lot with virgin Australia. Status points on domestic flights are very limited making them useless. 2 lounge passes are only valid for the domestic lounge, which is useless if you travel mostly international.
Often is difficult to know what rewards will be received as they are NEVER DISCLOSED until after flight..They should be shown as part of the booking.
Velocity do not reward virgin passengers as they should. Seems to be more oriented towards shopping then air travel rewards..I have found them somewhat difficult to deal with..

I prefer this card than the qantas FF credit card as you earn points quicker and there are less points requred to redeem for flights on velocity compared to Qantas FF. Also Qantas charges very high airport taxes and fees on their award flights compared to Virgin.

I have had this card for over 3 years the initial application process was normal with around a 10 day turn around time. In the entire time have had to call maybe 3 or 4 times and each time was fine issue was resolved quickly.

Have had this card for about 3 years now and haven't had any major problems with this card, although the Virgin Money website is a little bit clunky it does everything I need it to do. After several attempts they gave up trying to upsell me other products (especially life insurance). Replacement cards have been ordered and are delivered in the promised timeframes. The auto point sweep to the Virgin Velocity account is monthly and is reliable. The sign-up Velocity points bonus was honoured (unlike some other credit cards whom you have to chase t...

The included deal of getting 4 flights a year with 2 tickets for the price of 1 has been changed to a much less attractive offer since the end of last year. I'm pretty disappointed because that isn't what I signed up for. Now the only part of the ticket that is half price is the base airline ticket fee, which doesn't equate to 50% off your ticket like it used to.

Brisbane to Melbourne flights for May are $165 with Virgin...
Virgin with 2-4-1 offer costs $441 (with all taxes and booking and service fees).
So that is not too bad, $220.50 p/p...

The initial step of 'instant' pre approval was fine - they called my workplace within the hour, great! I receive an e-mail asking for some ID documents to send - no problem - that's where to process becomes tricky. They want you to post or fax the documents - but they email you to ask for them? It's 2013! Who uses a fax machine or an envelope?!

So I neatly PDF the documents they asked for and replied to the e-mail that came through. In the meantime you get your first call from them making sure you know what to do. My e-mail bounces back, I ...
