Flight churn value

Westpac Altitude Velocity Platinum

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?

$4,000 within 90 days — about $1,333 per month.

Can I get the card?

The minimum credit limit is $3,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.

You must earn at least $30,000 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.

72,000 Velocity points
0.50 points per dollar

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $250 each year ($175 annual fee + $75 program fee) — the first year was $250.

The year-two bonus is 30,000 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 $250/yr.

The maths behind churn value

72,000 Velocity points at 1.7¢ a point − $250 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.
