Even if you were able to sign up to 10 that's $150 outlay for 30,000 points which i would consider a...

    What to do with 750k Velocity with KF devaluation

    99% of my redemption are not with VA domestic nor international due to lack of J & F to US and Europe. Have done all my redemption with Singapore Air to Europe and this year even to the US. Most likely ill be transferring them all before the cut off date.

    Virgin Money Flyer 60,000/High Flyer 120,000, $129 flight voucher, annual fee $64/289

    Each statement period they will appear, unfortunately that was one of the more frustrating things with this cards, not being able to track points per spend until the end of the month so if you are not careful you could easily miss out on the bonus points
