By taking out this card you not only receive 60,000 bonus Velocity Points and a great earn rate, you also get my personal favourite perk of Velocity Gold – lounge access. With travel insurance and a complimentary flight also included each year, this is a compelling card that works hard to offset the annual fee of $440.

With Velocity status credits moving to a spend-based system, the American Express Velocity Platinum is perfect for those who fly Virgin Australia domestically but might not spend enough to earn Velocity Gold Status.

Earn 60,000 Qantas Points when you spend $5,000 in the first 90 days, plus 40,000 bonus points if you haven’t earned Qantas Points with a credit card in the last 24 months.

The annual fee is $349 in the first year, then $399 ongoing. Earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent and 1.5 Qantas Points per AU$1 spent overseas.
