American Express Velocity Platinum Card – 60,000 Bonus Velocity Points with $3,000 Spend in 3 Months, $440 Annual Fee
quop 
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.
