      $6k min limit - So I would guesstimate $60k'ish p.a. based on other $6k min limit cards.

      Edit: Lol its listed right under the min Credit Limit, my dumbass

      It’s listed on the website.

      Can people read the links themselves before making comments like this?

    gotta be desperate to do this one considering what you get for it.
    virgin flyer 60k ($1500 spend each mth for 2 mths), 1st year annual fee, $74, + $129 flight voucher. No need to wait 12mths before re-applying.

    • wil123 on 23/07/2024 - 16:19

      agreed. Even Nab is 60k points(1k spend in 60 days) with only $94 first year annual fee.

      • bohn on 23/07/2024 - 16:29

        yeah I might do that one (again) and then another virgin flyer if I don't see any other good deals.

        • ozbargainerlife1 on 23/07/2024 - 21:40

          how much time to wait before re-applying virgin flyer? any success?

    • j1nx on 23/07/2024 - 16:32

      What is the wait period for that? I've been thinking cards were at least 12mo these days.

      • bohn on 23/07/2024 - 16:34
        +2

        there isn't one, many people have cancelled and reapplied at the same time to get more points. Some say to avoid getting rejected for other reasons to wait at least 6mths from opening. So open in Jan, Close in June (or before), re-open in June. But you may have no issue opening another sooner than that.

        • j1nx on 23/07/2024 - 16:35

          Good to know, thank you

          • bohn on 23/07/2024 - 16:36
            +2

            @j1nx: it's prob one of the best cards, because you can sell the $129 flight credit. and the annual fee is 74… so.

            So you end up being paid a small amount to take the points ;)

            • Smol Cat on 23/07/2024 - 16:58

              @bohn: Oh is that flight voucher not name specific? I thought it would be credited to my account in my name.

              • bohn on 23/07/2024 - 16:58

                @Smol Cat: it's credited to your travelbank which you can use for others no problem. You cannot transfer your travelbank to someone else, but can book on their behalf.

                • Smol Cat on 23/07/2024 - 17:00

                  @bohn: Oh nice, I guess I'll figure out what that is once I apply for the voucher.

            • BTSARMY on 14/08/2024 - 10:42

              @bohn: May i know where do you see that we are also getting $129 flight credit?

        • firestint on 23/07/2024 - 19:35

          Yeah but anecdotally I think if you're holding Citi branded credit card and apply for this Virgin flyer card, you get rejected automatically?

          • bohn on 23/07/2024 - 19:36

            @firestint: Not in my experience, no
            I have held both, numerous times

          • Synticulous on 23/07/2024 - 21:12

            @firestint: Have Citi premier in hand 1 for the free 20k payall points/month which will tragically end in 2025.
            My application for Virgin flyer was successful two months ago and I've gotten my 90k points already with this card in hand 2 (30k additional via promo).

            Will cancel card in hand 2 after I find a flight to use the voucher on..

            • firestint on 24/07/2024 - 07:06

              @Synticulous: Similar situation here, still have Citi Premier, I also have 1x ANZ Platinum. Last cancelled Virgin flyer in Apr. Thinking if I should cancel Citi Premier first before applying for Virgin flyer. Sounds like it worked for you but not for Ironic fear

            • gadgetguy on 24/07/2024 - 10:11

              @Synticulous: "free 20k payall points/month which will tragically end in 2025."

              Is this just how far out you arranged Payalls or you've seen some info that Nab is ending it?

              I have scheduled up to 2030.

          • Ironic fear on 23/07/2024 - 21:13

            @firestint: Ive only ever been rejected when i held a nab card and tried to open Virgin flyer card. Nab and citi both are to do with the virgin credit offerings so i figure that was why since they coild never give me a specific reason.

            Had this card previously and got 1 other card to rotate to first before coming back to virgin again

    • BellaWii on 23/07/2024 - 16:46

      What card is this? Link?

    • lemonteh on 23/07/2024 - 16:47

      I did not know about this! Just the right time to reapply again.

    • strikerzebra on 23/07/2024 - 18:01

      Any other cards have no wait period ?

      • timhn on 27/07/2024 - 12:34

        All cards from Citibank

    • DingoBilly on 23/07/2024 - 19:55

      I am ineligible for every other card atm, so for me it's pretty good.

    • gadgetguy on 24/07/2024 - 10:12

      Not interested in using points for flights - can you redeem for gift cards? If so, what is 60k worth?

    • offthetap on 24/07/2024 - 10:13

      i closed down the virgin flyer card a month ago. are you saying i could re-apply today and if approved still get the points??

      • bohn on 24/07/2024 - 10:28
        +1

        yeah you could but of course they may look at a variety of factors. Like I mentioned in another post, I usually open 2 a year so I am not doing it too frequently, as once you get a rejection you can't re-apply too quickly.

        I last opened one in March, so I might open another in Aug/Sep

    Another shit deal - cmon give me some SERIOUS POINTAGE

  • syswong on 23/07/2024 - 16:45

    Velocity points just become that little less attractive as they cancelled the Virgin services to Tokyo. You can now only book ANA flight which is much harder.

    I was just thrown on an ANA flight to Sydney few weeks ago on my way back, no complain there when you pay virgin price but fly ANA. I was suspecting the issue was capacity related and niw prove I was right.

    I do have to say they are charging almost full fare price but only budget air service, stingy as hell!!

    • Xizor on 23/07/2024 - 18:03

      Could be worse, could be Qantas. Flew them back from Tokyo the food, service and plane were all pretty mediocre. Flights with American and United a week before it were better…. which is saying something!

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 23/07/2024 - 21:50

        I'll take a Qantas non-stop widebody over VA indirect-via-Cairns narrowbody anyday.

        • Xizor on 24/07/2024 - 00:02

          Both pretty average but yeah direct for sure.

        • syswong on 24/07/2024 - 09:24

          I think that is exactly Virgin loose in this route. Jetstar is running the Japan route with rock bottom price and scoped up all the bean counters. Virgin don't want to be at that price level and yet don't have the resources to run a full price airline which is a joke by itself.

          While we are on the topic of Qantas, their services is absolutely a joke, but then this apply to all major western line like BA, UA…. etc

          I think the best to pick now is Singapore Airline, JAL, ANA, China Airline, Asiana and Korean air

          Middle East, China (Including Cathy) and the other Asean carriers should be avoid at all cost for various security and safety reason.

          • Autonomic on 25/07/2024 - 11:16

            @syswong: VA have a slot at HND to operate. If they didn't use it they'd lose it. I guess they tried to retain it and it failed.

        • MrThing on 14/10/2024 - 10:12

          Id rather fly via Singapore to Japan than fly qantas

    I've signed up to this, and I have to say that BOQ has some terrible banking infrastructure. Setting up an online account was not possible - so I have to check my balance my phone banking (like the 90s…)

  • jsrc on 20/08/2024 - 13:31

        Not OP but this was my experience. I was approved same day I applied but that was when the good part ended.

        • Internet Banking took me 1+ hour on the phone to setup as I was transferred between multiple people and finally told that I had to go into a branch. I called again and somehow ended up with someone who was able to do it on the phone for me.
        • Internet banking website looks like it is straight from the 1990s and does not show transactions immediately.
        • Apple Pay did not work (though this may just be me). I tried calling and they couldn't explain why my card wasn't able to be added.
        • It has been 1 month in after my first statement and I haven't received a single point. I called and they told me that it would come in a few days and the 180k bonus would come after the 3rd month.
        • caustic birch on 05/09/2024 - 09:01

          Yikes. This makes me glad I heeded the original warning.

  • maiuspala on 24/08/2024 - 15:19

    Has anyone here managed to setup their BOQ internet banking over the phone?
    It literally says in the welcome e-mail that we can do it over the phone, but the helpdesk says that i have to go to branch.

    They had no problem activating my cc, but can't set up my account. I can pay with the card, but i cannot pay or access the statement

    • j1nx on 24/08/2024 - 15:26

      This is the exact reason I instantly cancelled the card. Nearest branch is over an hour away.

    • gera1d on 04/09/2024 - 09:36

      My first try calling to set up internet banking resulted in them telling me they couldn't do it over the phone and I had to go into a branch. I tried again and ended up with a different customer service agent and they managed to set it up for me.

  • Will146 on 29/08/2024 - 20:14

    I just got the automatic rejection from BOQ😫. Does anyone know if they have a team that can reassess the application? I got rejected for a ANZ a couple of months ago which I think is causing havic on my application history, however I was still approved for a St George straight after which was strange. I think I might need to give the churning a break for a bit😒.
