Flight churn value

Westpac Altitude Velocity Black (Existing customers, Velocity Bonus Offer)

Ended — kept for reference

This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.

I'd like to use my bonus for:

Can I get this?

This offer is only for existing customers of the bank.

Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?

I have not checked the waiting period for this bonus.

See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →

What must I spend?

$6,000 within 120 days — about $1,500 per month.

Can I get the card?

The minimum credit limit is $6,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.

You must earn at least $75,000 a year.

Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.

How long is this available?

The listed end date has passed: 5 March 2026. Date comparison uses the Australia/Sydney calendar. The issuer’s closing time and timezone are not recorded. Check availability with the issuer.

123,000 Velocity points
0.50 points per dollar

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $370 each year ($295 annual fee + $75 program fee) — the first year was $275.

The year-two bonus is 60,000 Velocity points.

Ongoing earn: 0.50x Velocity points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if you meet the second-year conditions and use the points and benefits enough to cover $370/yr.

The maths behind churn value

123,000 Velocity points at 1.7¢ a point − $275 in first-year fees. This is flight value, not cash. It assumes you earn the bonus and pay in full.

What this calculation assumes
  • You make the required purchases and the bonus is paid.
  • You pay the balance in full — any interest changes the outcome.
  • The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
  • You close the card before the next annual fee, or you decide keeping it is worth that fee.
