    6k minimum spend is steep for many, but fine for most.

    Any other good cards out there? I'm CC free ATM.

  • aneil915 on 11/05/2021 - 19:52

    How much is 100,000 Velocity Points in terms of gift cards?

  • ozzieozzieozzie on 11/05/2021 - 20:29

    This is a minimum spend of $1500 per month for 4 months, not $6000 within 4 months. Be careful how you read this.

    • squidz on 12/05/2021 - 13:07

      basically min spending of 6k in 4 months to maximise the bonus points

  • Maxxjet on 11/05/2021 - 21:14

    Isn't that Citi is pulling out of AU consumer market?

  • fomal on 11/05/2021 - 21:40

    Is this new customer only? I had this card 2 years ago, cant find it anywhere in their terms and con…

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 12/05/2021 - 10:02

      Important stuff = New cards customers only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.

      If you had it two years ago that should most likely be fine as the standard exclusion period for credit card offers is 12 months (or 18 in the case of Amex).

    Does anyone use the VISA concierge stuff? I tried once to get them to find me a specific thing to book for my proposal but was just nope can't find nothing

      It's pretty shit. Just fluff they can they put as a 'perk'
      Anything they do find is pittance to what you can find yourself googling

  • juxjux on 12/05/2021 - 10:11

    Can I not get this if I have a Qantas card because they're both Citi?

  • Miso on 12/05/2021 - 17:29

    Good deal. Worth a churn if choices are low. The 4 months is a bit of a hassle as is the drop off to 0.5 points after $1.5k spend, although 0.66 aint great to start.

    But been hording QF points for the last 18 months.

    No doubt Virgin will be back flying to LAX and looks like they are keen on keeping those Haneda spots but who knows when that will happen.

    With QF you can be in first class emirates to Wherever on day 1

    Not bad… but this current direct Citibank deal is a far easier way of earning 100k velocity points;

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/607023

    • ontheroad on 14/05/2021 - 14:20

      I guess it depends on personal circumstances. This deal is the better for me as our household monthly credit card is much greater than $1500 and the annual fee is lower on this one - and the $129 Virgin Australia Gift Voucher is there should we choose to use it. Each to their own I guess.

      • endolphin on 14/05/2021 - 17:54

        True. It's still a decent offer and I may hit it up after I churn citibank.

        If I value velocity points at 1c (for example), then this deal is worth $1k, and the return on the $6k is 17%. Versus a net return of $900 on $3k spend with citibank, or a 30% return. That's how I look at it. $6k spend could be 2 x $3k spend promos :)

    Merged from Virgin Australia Velocity Flyer Card: 25,000/Month Bonus Pts for 4 Months ($1,500/Month Spend), Annual Fee $129 (1st Year $64)

    Just snagged this card and came to OzB to see feedback on deal. None. So here it is for others to consider. Has been 2.5 years since the last Virgin Card deal was posted (a lot has happened since then I guess) - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/442662

    Low annual fee, increased points - standard is 15K per month for 3 months. $129 Virgin voucher as well.

    Spend is higher then most at 6K. And you have to manage it over the 4 months. And you have to hold on to the card for for 4 months - disadvantages to consider. That and the points per $ on everyday spend is on the low end, and even worse after the $1,500.

    Has Apple Pay. No Google Pay (Samsung Pay only)

    The High Flyer is also 100K but needs $3,500/month for the 4 months, and is a $289 fee, don't chose that option.

    Just waiting for Virgin to reintroduce their partner redemptions.

    Happy churning

      Any limitation with anyone who has hold the card for the past 12 months?

      • Miso on 07/10/2021 - 11:10
        +1

        It's managed by Citi who don't have the 12m rule anywhere in their terms.

        I do 6/9 months to be safe. Don't ever seem to have a problem.

    • tunzafun001 on 07/10/2021 - 11:11

      Be careful with the exclusion list on this card. I had to report them to AFCA to get them to pay the bonus points. Basically they included water bills (privatised) and Union memberships as government spends. Wouldn't budge when challenged over the phone.

      But if you are about to pay for a Solar install or some significant spend like that, go for it.

      • odysseus on 07/10/2021 - 11:17

        Unfortunately that's a citi policy that applies to all their cards. Very annoying.

        • tunzafun001 on 07/10/2021 - 11:21

          Good ole Citi.. The Qantas version didn't have any exclusions for Bonus points when I applied, but the same exclusions did apply for normal point earnings.

          • nightelves on 07/10/2021 - 11:25

            @tunzafun001: The Citibank flybuys count government spend as eligible spend but don't credit you the points.

      • corrocoat on 07/10/2021 - 14:09

        Beware managed by Citi group -overseas call center - bad phone lines & understand that English is their second/third language- so communication is rat shit

        • bloomer on 07/10/2021 - 16:42

          I'm not a fan of Citigroup, but that characterisation of their call centre staff is not at all my experience (and I churn cards quite often). While almost all staff are in India or the Philippines, I've never had anyone who was unintelligible or had poor English, and I've spoken to them many times more than I would prefer!

    • Networks919 on 07/10/2021 - 11:12

      Worth a shot (although $1500 for 4 months) if the churn options are quite low. Able to get the $129 Travel bank to make up for the $64 first year fee.

    • yojabbajabba on 07/10/2021 - 11:16

      A heads up, Virgin Money is underwritten by Citibank, and they may deny the application if you have a current Citibank Credit account. I just had my application bounced back for this reason.

    • mrhorse on 07/10/2021 - 11:18

      Quick Q: How much does 1 virgin velocity point worth these days?

      • nightelves on 07/10/2021 - 11:27
        +1

        Worth quite a bit if they offer the ability to transfer Krisflyer in future again or offer Mel-Sin in biz class with Singapore Airlines for 65k.

        • mrhorse on 07/10/2021 - 11:35

          Thanks mate.

          I sold all mine when they were about to go bankruptcy at 0.8c/pt, good to know they are still valuable.

      • Miso on 07/10/2021 - 11:40
        +2

        Velocity added Air Canada and ANA as partners just before the world went south.

        Those 2 plus SQ make them as good as QFF points in my book.

    • RMM on 07/10/2021 - 11:18

      Seems to be $3500 each month not $1500:

      25,000 bonus Velocity Points will be awarded for every month $3,500 or more is spent on Eligible Transactions for the first 4 months from card approval.

      • burtrito on 07/10/2021 - 11:22

        Isn't that the High Flyer card (not the Flyer card)?

      • mrhorse on 07/10/2021 - 11:23

        You looked at the wrong card mate.
        Check out the platinum card instead.

      • z28 on 07/10/2021 - 11:23

        Two options, try the 2nd option instead (OP did mention that )

    • bobwokeup on 07/10/2021 - 11:19

      So if you spend $1500 each month for 4 months you get the 100k bonus points?

      • burtrito on 07/10/2021 - 11:25
        +1

        25,000 bonus Velocity Points will be awarded for every month $1,500 or more is spent on Eligible Transactions for the first 4 months from card approval.

      • Shadowsfury on 07/10/2021 - 11:26

        You get 25k points each month you hit the minimum $1500 spend

    • Shadowsfury on 07/10/2021 - 11:26

      I've applied for this card too recently but they haven't approved it (yet).

      Hopefully they do

      • Miso on 07/10/2021 - 11:40

        Mine was done in a couple of hours. Was surprised at efficiency.

      • yojabbajabba on 07/10/2021 - 12:12

        I'd check the application manually using the email link. They don't let you know via email if they have denied the application.

    • PoKGuy on 07/10/2021 - 11:56

      Oh good, it's been a while since I cancelled this card (1.5 years).

      I might wait for a better deal on the High Flyer Card.

      Just in time as flights are resuming in the next few months (hopefully).

    • shd on 07/10/2021 - 13:45

      Had this deal emailed as well: https://www1.citibank.com.au/credit-cards/citi-rewards-veloc…
      80,000 bonus Velocity Points when you spend $3,000 on eligible purchases within 90 days from approval. $99 fee for the first year, then goes up.

      • nightelves on 07/10/2021 - 15:28

        Used to be 100k Velocity Points

        • shd on 07/10/2021 - 15:32

          yeah it sucks, you get more if you hold the card for the full year and pay the next annual fee.
