So American Express have launched this offer along with its refreshed card benefits. The key changes includes unlimited Virgin Australia lounge access when flying with Virgin Australia as the Primary Cardholder. This can be good for people who will lose Gold status as part of the upcoming changes, however, it does not include unlimited guest access (you will have two guest passes a year). The requirement to get status credits has been split into two parts so people who don’t quite meet the 50k spend can now get something.

Considering the VA Lounge pass is $450 a year this wouldn’t be bad for a solo traveller who doesn’t have status.

• 60k Velocity Points when you apply online by 21 January 2025, are approved, and spend $3,000 on eligible purchases on your new American Express Velocity Platinum Card within the first 3 months. T&Cs apply. Available to new American Express Card Members only.
• $440 (Up from $375).
• Earn up to 1.25 Velocity points per dollar spent.
• Complimentary Virgin Australia return domestic flight each year.

• Complimentary Virgin Australia lounge access when flying with Virgin Australia as the Primary Cardholder
• Two complimentary Virgin Australia lounge passes for guests each year.

Note: Registration is required to get unlimited lounge access so please remember to register.
