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is to do a cash advance, which is not eligible to earn points (and which attracts interest from the date the funds are withdrawn).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!

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.

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?
