Amex and Velocity tie the knot
American Express has joined forces with Velocity, the frequent flyer programme of the Virgin Australia group, to launch American Express Velocity Cards, offering unlimited two-for-one international business class airfares.
The two for the price of one offer on the Platinum Card – one of three cards in the Amex-Velocity suite – entitles members to complimentary international business class companion airfares on full priced seats flying with V Australia or codeshare partner flights with Delta Airlines.
In addition, the card comes with a complimentary annual domestic return economy flight to a choice of 26 destinations flying Virgin Australia. Flights are booked through American Express Travel Services.
The American Express Velocity Platinum Card claims the highest Velocity Points earn rate of any card in the market.
For every $1 spent on the Card, 1.5 Velocity Points are earned. Three Points are earned for every dollar spent with the Virgin Australia group of airlines.
Points can be redeemed for flights, accommodation or other travel expenses through the Velocity Program.
The American Express Velocity Cards offer two single entry Virgin Australia lounge entries per annum, domestic and international travel insurance and purchase and retail protection.
