  Ugh still 6 months to go in my Amex blockout period before I can sign up to this again. Was a great card for the time I had it.

    I thought it was 18 months for AMEX?

  Cheers. My 18 months were up in May, was just waiting for a good deal.
  Don't like the Annual Fee but as I use the domestic flight every year from PER - MEL it offsets that.
  Points earn is great so wont need to cancel.

  Does anyone know when you do a balance transfer does the new provider cancel the old provider or do you need to do that yourself?

  • 

    barthez on 08/07/2019 - 15:01

    I believe you will still need to cancel the card once the balance transfer happens.

    Don't forget to use a referral link so one of us OzBargainers get the bonus points too :)

  Is the new card memeber requirement across all Amex cards or can a current Amex Explorer credit card holder for example can get this velocity card?

  •

    Might be worth jumping on to the online chat with AmEx to find out

    • 

      randomstuff on 08/07/2019 - 20:20

      Ok. Will find out and update

    Coops1 on 08/07/2019 - 17:03

    Any of the Amex cards in last 18 months voids bonus offers, apart from David Jones card I believe.

      randomstuff on 08/07/2019 - 20:20

      Ok. Thanks. Will check on online chat as well

  I'm waiting another 14 months 😁😶

  Have only had a bank issued amex- so assume will be ok. Is this the best offer to jump on? Haven't been paying attention to amex deals.

  I have the explorer card and was thinking of cancelling and my wife signing up for this one.
  Can I refer her and get 40,000 points and she will still get the normal sign on bonus for this one?

  Go with this offer or the Virgin money one for $64 fee for 75,000 points? Which is better

  • 

    barthez on 11/07/2019 - 16:23

    I think the Virgin one has a cap on how many points you can earn, and the point earn on spend isn't as good as the velocity card.
