Virgin Australia Velocity High 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?
$7,000 within 60 days — about $3,500 per month.
Can I get the card?
The minimum credit limit is $10,000. 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?
I do not have an end date for this offer.
Should I keep it after the first year?
Keeping the card costs $349 each year ($349 annual fee) — the first year was $349.
The year-two bonus is 20,000 Velocity points.
Ongoing earn: 0.75x Velocity points per $1.
Keeping pays off only if you meet the second-year conditions and use the points and benefits enough to cover $349/yr.

- You pay the balance in full — any interest changes the outcome.
- The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
