Amazing value - More than AUD$100 worth of free inclusions
VIP Membership pays for itself immediately. There is enough free built-in value to justify the cost before you even start using it particularly if you are choosing the Australia New Zealand & South Pacific kit. But the more the Card is used - to make international or mobile phone calls, stay at VIP hostels and resorts, visit attractions or experience once in a lifetime adventures and shop at local stores - the more you save!
