Flight churn value

Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer Card

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 advertised to the public. Bonus conditions and the bank’s approval requirements still apply.

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?

$3,000 within 60 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 $35,000 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?

I do not have an end date for this offer.

61,980 Velocity points
0.66 points per dollar

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $149 each year ($149 annual fee) — the first year was $74.

There is no bonus in year two. The fee buys points on your spending, plus the card's perks.

Ongoing earn: 0.66x Velocity points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if the ongoing earn and benefits are worth $149/yr to you.

The maths behind churn value

61,980 Velocity points at 1.7¢ a point − $74 in first-year fees. This is flight value, not cash. It assumes you earn the bonus and pay in full.

This offer has ended. I keep this page so you can check the old terms.

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.
