The dilemma for me is that i'd like the wallet but not the card, and i'm due to get my shiny new next 12 month card next month.
Opt in, get the wallet, opt out, "lose" the card, request replacement.

Well look what arrived in the mail today, with an added bonus. A Velocity branded leather card / passport wallet.

nice wallet! Ugly card
That's the 'back' of the card. The front looks sexier based on the images. Perhaps the SG holder can post a photo of the 'front'?

Surely the Visa logo, card no. and chip aren't on the back of the card?

Presumably the other side of the card looks pretty much like the pic that appears on the Velocity homepage? I.e. pretty much like a Velocity card!
Received today, thank you Velocity! The travel wallet is certainly a sweet touch.
I've activated the card and can now see the exchange rates in my account which seem similar to what I would usually pay. I look forward to loading it up and giving it a go
AUD 1.00 = 0.8838 as of this second.

Yeah that's pretty poor. The Current mid-market XE rate is 0.92239Looks like there's about a 3% commission bundled in. According to Oanda, the current interbank rate for AUD/USD is 0.91666 - add in 3% commission and you get 0.88916.
What status do those who have received the card have??
I presume my Plat one won't be coming until mid-August (have a end-August expiry - joined under status match, but have already requalified for Plat again).
Am seeing AUD 1.00 = USD 0.9221 as mid-rate on afr.com

- which means commission even higher.
At these rates, the card won't be getting much usage from me.
