Until 6 February 2024, you can earn 100,000 bonus Velocity points when signing up for an American Express Velocity Platinum card and spending at least $3,000 within the first 3 months. This is a partner exclusive available through various websites including AFF and is up from the usual publicly available 60,000 Velocity points offer.

This card costs $375/year and comes with a complimentary return VA domestic flight, 2x VA lounge passes and 2x Amex Centurion lounge passes each year. You also earn 1.25 Velocity points per $1 spent, uncapped.

Shame this wasn't posted earlier. I applied for the card last week through a different website's referral link. Would much rather of supported this community, but alas.

Is this offer only for New AMEX cards? I already have a Qantas AMEX.

Yes

Thats a pity

From the Amex website: "We are making some exciting changes to the American Express Velocity Platinum Card. Watch this space to discover refreshed Card benefits launching soon."

I really hope the refreshed benefits are actually better and not just an increase in annual fee coupled with less features/lower earn rate.

Are they still taking a dark view of churners?

The Velocity Escape card has now disappeared as well...

Hoping for a 100k sign up bonus, it was 60k for quite a while before being withdrawn

 

[Rayesfeg]

Best they have had is 110k but it’s pretty rare.
Regardless, they will need to wait for the current Citi velocity promo to end before launching a competing offer.
