Point Hacks®

By taking out this card you not only receive 100,000 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.

With up to 120,000 bonus Qantas Points on offer, you could fly one-way from Sydney to Santiago or Johannesburg in the comfort of Qantas Business. Or, tick Japan off your bucket list with two Qantas Economy return flights from Brisbane to Tokyo. Your Qantas Points open up redemptions with plenty of partner airlines too, including Emirates, American Airlines, JAL, Fiji Airways, and more.
