      • Yeh so I cancelled the card before any fee was charged.

        Ended up slightly in the positive though - $10 cashback from a welcome bonus offer, and the 2 velocity lounge passes which were loaded onto my velocity account upon the first (and only) card spend!

        • Thanks for the update!! Cheers!!!

    • did points come your way mate and did you tick the box and state your existing membership no on the new application?

      • nope no points and the account is cancelled now (before they charged the fee) so there's no way i'll be getting any points now!

        i didn't tick the box as i actually wasn't an existing member!

  • Does anyone know whether the annual membership fee count towards the $1500 to get the bonus points?

    • I doubt it very much, it's not a spend per se, it's a recurring charge you agree to as part of the T&Cs. Just buy gift cards / load & go cards etc if you need to get over the threshold.

      • Thanks. That's my plan if I need to get towards the threshold. :)

  • Could anyone tell me how long it took to get their points if you met the $1500 spend straight away? I met the criteria within the statement period which was to July the 4th but the no Velocity points have been transferred to my account as yet. Is it tied to the due date of your statement which is still a couple of days away?

  • Kicking myself for missing this, any idea when/if this deal will kick off again? It's only 50k points now.

    I suppose I could still do the explorer, but this sounds better
