Virgin to put a Wallet in your pocket
Virgin Australia is giving its frequent flyer membership card a new functionality: the Global Wallet.
In partnership with Visa, the Global Wallet is a prepaid travel money card located on one side of the new-look Velocity Frequent Flyer membership card.
The Global Wallet will enable members to load money onto their card and store it in multiple foreign currencies as well as Australian dollars.
Members will also be able to make purchases at more than 30 million locations around the world, wherever Visa is accepted, and withdraw funds from more than two million ATMs in Australia and around the world.
Velocity Frequent Flyer Points will be earned for purchases made using the Global Wallet, both in Australia and overseas.
The new card, due to be launched over coming months, will include smart chip technology and offer the convenience of Visa payWave.
