Virgin Australia Flyer Credit Card Bonus Points Offer

  • Amy Bradney-George's headshot
Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer Card - Bonus Points Offer
Terms and conditions apply
Balance transfer rate for 12 months with no balance transfer fee
0% p.a.
Bonus points
60,000
Purchase rate
20.74% p.a.
Reward points per $ spent

Our verdict

Offers up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points but you’ll have to spend $1,500 per month for the first 2 months to get them all.

The Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer Card gives you a choice of introductory offers, and this one is focused on bonus points. If you earned the full 60,000 bonus Velocity Points on offer, you’d have enough for a return business class flight from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast (47,000 points plus fees and taxes) or $300 worth of David Jones gift cards (57,333 points for three $100 gift cards).

Pros

  • Up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points
  • $74 first-year annual fee ($149 p.a. thereafter)
  • Yearly $129 Virgin Australia Gift Voucher
  • Balance transfer offer of 0% p.a. for 12 months, with no BT fee

Cons

  • Bonus point spend requirement is staggered over the first 2 months
  • Velocity Points standard earn rate is relatively low (up to 0.66 points per $1)
  • 3.3% international transaction fee

The Virgin Australia Flyer Credit Card gives you a way to earn Velocity Points on your everyday spending and offers a yearly $129 Virgin Australia Gift Voucher which is enough to offset the annual fee.

Hi, I applied on 6th March from Finder website. The offers are interest free BT for 24 months and 30k or 60k velocity points (This is what I wasn’t sure of as this page is now has different offer). I received an approval for interest free BT for 24 months but not sure what the eligibility to receive 30K or 60k velocity points. Is this an offer that Virgin Australia company aware of?

Hi Herry, Yes this offer was created by Virgin Australia and offered via our website. You can contact them directly to check on what you’re eligible for, as we do not have access to your account and can’t offer any customer service.

When I have had approval and receive my card, if I then pay $1500.00 off another credit card via Bpay, is this considered “balance transfer” or would it be recognised as a bill payment thus qualifying for the bonus points offer?

Appreciate the your advise.

Hi William, this would not be considered a balance transfer. It is also unlikely you’ll be permitted to pay your credit card using another credit card; most banks don’t allow this, as it’s not actually allowing you to repay debt, you’re simply moving debts around. The main way around this is to do a cash advance, which is not eligible to earn points (and which attracts interest from the date the funds are withdrawn).


I hope this helps!

How do I access the $129 virgin flight voucher once I have successfully signed up for my credit card?

Hi Dee,


Once you’ve activated the card and had it for at least 30 days, you can request the flight voucher by visiting http://virginmoney.com.au/giftvoucher and following the steps there. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have used the card for a retail purchase at least once in the 2 months before requesting the voucher.


After meeting the requirements, Virgin Australia will send an email to the address linked to your Velocity account, with details of your Travel Bank account number and confirmation of the $129 credit. Hope this helps!

You have indicated in the details for the Virgin Australia Flyer Credit Card that before 31 March 2023 a choice of 30k additional velocity points/250 status credits/$200 Coles Gift Voucher can be obtained by activating the CC offer through Velocity before applying. I can find nothing about this on the Velocity Site – just the existing offer of 100k points. Also, I do not have a chat box in the lower right corner of this page.
