- You're aiming for a substantial points boost. New cardholders can earn up to 80,000 bonus Velocity Points (converted from 160,000 NAB Rewards Points) by spending $1,000 on everyday purchases within the first 60 days and keeping the card open for over 12 months.
- You want flexibility in point redemption. NAB Rewards Points can be transferred to various partner programs, including Velocity Frequent Flyer, at a rate of 2 NAB Rewards Points to 1 Velocity Point, providing versatility in how you use your rewards.
- You frequently shop for groceries or use Webjet. Earn 1.5 NAB Rewards Points per $1 spent at eligible grocery stores and 2 NAB Rewards Points per $1 on purchases made online with Webjet, accelerating your points accumulation.
- You value complimentary insurance coverage. The card offers international travel insurance, purchase protection and extended warranty insurance when you meet the eligibility criteria, adding value for travellers and shoppers.
You might want to skip it if...
- You prefer a direct earn Velocity card. If you want points automatically credited to your Velocity account without manual transfers, a direct earn card like the American Express Velocity Platinum Card might be more suitable.
- You occasionally carry a balance. With a 20.99% p.a. purchase interest rate, carrying a balance can lead to significant interest charges, potentially outweighing the benefits of earned points.
- You seek a lower annual fee. If the $195 annual fee is steep for your budget, consider cards with lower fees, such as the NAB Low Fee Card, which has an annual fee of $30.
- You desire higher points earn rates. For higher earn rates, the NAB Rewards Signature Card offers up to 3 NAB Rewards Points per $1 spent with Webjet, though it comes with a higher monthly fee of $24.

Exactly what is an “eligible purchase”. I’m spending over $10k a month with a virgin velocity card and earning less than 2500 points per month.
