Credit Card Special Offers | Velocity Frequent Flyer


Of note, the High Flyer card now requires a $10,000 spend in the first 3 months to qualify for the 15K "free" sign up points - up from $5,000 spend for the promo that ended 30/4/2012

Simply apply for a Virgin High Flyer Credit Card by 30 June 2012 and spend $10,000 in the first 3 months of your card approval to receive your 15,000 bonus Velocity Points*.

This is disappointing. I was holding off taking it under the last promotion thinking they may offer more than 15,000 - I definitely wasn't expecting them to keep the same bonus but double the spend required!!

If you click on the "find out more" link the conditions state a spend of $5000 is required.
The $10000 spend may be incorrect.

Does seem a little excessive. Might have to call them.

 

[Moopere]

Yes, agree - seems excessive for a mere 15K sign up points. I could understand the requirement if it were a premium amex or something with 70K+ points.

I'll take another look at the advertising tomorrow. Today is the 30th, looks like they jumped the gun by changing the website a day early. ... perhaps its also a mistake.

Disappointing offer - I got 20K sign-on points for my Virgin High Flyer Card last year and I think it only had a $500 minimum spend?

1st of May now, so the old offer is expired. Looks like the new offer of 15K points on the high flyer really does require a $10K spend in 3 months, confirmed at the Velocity site and the Virgin Money site:

Their out of their mind if they think people will take the card because of the bonus points when you need to may 10k in three months! 10k is a huge amount in three months, more suited to a high level AMEX card, not a Virgin Visa.

Got in on the 50k Deal last December with 7,500$ Spend...

10k $ spend with only a small amount of points does not seem very reasonable.
