Why we like the American Express Velocity Platinum credit card

The American Express Velocity Platinum Credit Card is one of the highest Velocity Points-earning cards in the Australian market.

Not only this, but you receive a complimentary annual return Virgin Australia flight and unlimited Virgin Australia Lounge access whenever you fly Virgin within Australia! You also get two single-entry Virgin Australia Lounge passes each year to share with friends or family travelling with you. These benefits more than offset the $440 annual fee, which is less than the cost of an outright Virgin Australia Lounge membership.

This card can also help you to achieve a higher Virgin Australia status tier, by rewarding you with up to 100 bonus Velocity status credits each year. You'll get 50 bonus status credits when you spend $25,000 on your card within a year, and another 50 if you spend $50,000.

If I cancel this card, which I’m highly likely to be doing anyway, can I sign up for the equivalent QF Amex card and get bonus points, or because it’s an Amex issued card, I commence the 18 month exclusion period?
