ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures Credit Card - 60K Velocity Points + Complimentary Virgin Flights and 2 Lounge Pass $225 Annual Fee

1720

The ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card could take you across Australia with a complimentary return domestic flight with Virgin Australia each year you hold the card, when you spend $500 on eligible purchases in the first three months of approval. Plus, as an introductory offer, you could earn a bonus 60,000 Velocity Points when you spend your $500 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months of approval.

Same as previous offer in November but different promo code.

Useful info from @illumination

Key info (mostly about the flight):
Must be booked 60 days prior to departure (quite a significant limitation)
Must be booked in your own name (unlike Platinum Edge/Velocity Platinum)
Free flight includes East Coast cities to Perth return (unlike Platinum Edge/Velocity, which includes PER-East Coast return but not vice versa) - these fares often go for $500+
Flight is on Virgin Australia and includes food/baggage
The 2 free VA lounge passes that this card comes with the free domestic flight
The flight is actually free. No taxes/surcharges need to be paid as long as there is availability
I think there is a $107 change fee just like with the Platinum Edge/Velocity Platinum (but not sure how this works in relation to the 60 day minimum booking period rule)
Approximate availability can be found by looking for the same flight on VA's website and if they are selling the fare as a Saver fare, it is likely to be available for redemption
This card is the only AMEX card in the Australian market that both waives overseas transaction fees/forex fees. As an added bonus, you'll earn rewards points on these expenses (there are a few non-AMEX alternatives)
This card comes with a Visa card too. Use AMEX where it's accepted & not ridiculously surcharged to maximise points earn.

        • Nice one. I applied that same week too. I've linked my Velocity and ANZ Rewards card on the ANZ Rewards portal. I've yet to receive any points…

        • @aussie1990: I received an email last night asking for my VFF# even though it's on the Portal already :\

    Just received my 60k velocity points on 31st March!

    • Nice! When did you apply for the card and reach the $500 spend?

      • I applied last Dec and spent more than 500 in early Jan.
        So it does take quite a bit of time for them to credit the points.

        • Thank you for sharing…

    I'm sure all holders of this deal, would be rather annoyed about the letter received today, announcing that from August the AMEX card is no longer valid!!
    Also changes to amount of points you can receive from the Visa card.
    Worried about this other statement on the letter….
    "In addition, we will be making other changes to the account" …."and remove the Bonus Partner Program"

    Might be getting rid of the card after less than a year - after claiming the flights and lounge passes of course!

    • Does this mean they are definitely getting rid of our free annual flight and lounge passes?

      • I don't think so - just the AMEX card and the other bonus offers that were a part of the rewards program.

  • Do you get pro-rata refund if you cancel mid year?
