...and yet AirNZ and Hawaiian Airlines had no issues using Starlink. Almost like Qantas wants to save some money.

digitalane on Link Your Velocity Frequent Flyer & DoorDash Accounts, Make an Eligible Order & Get 2,000 Bonus Points @ Velocity Frequent Flyer

I only pay with gift cards and most certainly do receive base points at the moment so it may just be a safeguard in the T&Cs.

It's peanuts compared to REA which everyone uses.

Even lower than that, I have receipts showing my last purchase in 2022 was $9.90!

I use Zip disposable cards. While they do charge a $1 or so FX fee it means the card can't be charged again.

If the stock market is plummeting you can be sure that inventories will be piling up in time given the feedback loop of the deteriorating…

Good idea.

Yep, for me it was mostly about maximising points earn.

I acted as per their T&Cs permit so I don't see an issue with that. Did have to withdrawal in $300 lots which was annoying but at the same…

Yep, been doing them to rack up the points/min spends. My lifetime "earnings" now has $27.7k but most of that isn't actual earnings.

I don't quite get the point of them other than increasing engagement. Must cost them a % on all the card fees.

Duckie2hh on Thoughts on Purchasing Second Hand Tesla in 2025 Considering Current Political Climate?

Meds kind of a bit less discretionary than a car. Generics are also a thing for many after the patent ends.

Brick50 on Join & Hold Hospital & Extras Cover for 42 Days, Get 6 Weeks Free & 25,000/50,000 Live Better Points @ Medibank

Thanks, sounds fine, might need to rejoin within 6 months or they expire. Guess it encourages churning.

Do you know if you'll still get them if you churn out?

machej commented on Free Univeral Mobile Connector & 5,000km of Supercharger Credits for Select Models Y & 3 Inventory Purchase @ Tesla
I'm negging as I think there will be even further price cuts due to demand falling off a cliff. Xpeng and other cars launching soon too.

machej commented on iHerb Cashback 16% [20% ShopBack Plus] + 10% Bank Bonus ($20 Cap) [Westpac, BoM, StG, BSA] @ ShopBack
FEB25SUPPS applies automatically and you can't remove it so not sure if this voids the cashback? EDIT: Looks like you can remove it.

Probably the lawyers bought it all.

machej commented on eBay Australia: 10% Cashback ($20 Cap) + [Westpac, BoM, BSA, StG] 10% Bonus Cashback ($20 Cap/Order) @ ShopBack
I find eBay tracking okay in Firefox with privacy mode off and no plugins. Temu is untrackable and many other stores like Youfoodz will…

machej commented on [ShopBack Plus] Temu Cashback: 20% for Existing Customers, 100% for New Customers ($50 Cap) @ ShopBack
Temu rarely tracks. I doubt it's just me because I have a 90%+ tracking rate and follow the instructions to a tee.

machej commented on SIHOO Ergonomic Office Chair M18 - $199.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required)
Any with a mesh base on the chair? That's important for comfort.

cheaponos on [NSW, VIC, QLD] $0 First Year Membership Fee for GoStarter Plan (Renews at $49 Per Year) @ GoGet Carshare

Zip's disposable cards might do the trick.

How does it differ to say OzHarvest or Foodbank? Just intrigued as there are a few.

The Reject Shop doesn't look too dire based on their latest releases. Seems like they have focused on stores that perform okay.

They are doing well. Make a lot of money from breakage (expired gift cards) but it takes years to flow through so it's a liability until it…
