An Apple AirTag? Provided you use an iPhone, it can be a lifesaver when you lose your keys.

It doesn't on pricing, but IMO Circles' network coverage beats Felix (Optus vs Voda). You can't compare apples and oranges. I made the…

If you're a QFF China Eastern might be better. As it's a partner airline, you can collect QFF points (but not status credits). I think…

You won't find anything that is portable, HD, and smart (OS-wise) at that price point. For $200, just get a cheap one off Amazon (sellers…

Capital Airlines include two 23KG bags in all economy fares. Carry on is 7kg (if I recall correctly), but no one checks.

RIP sounds like your local might be run by a stingy franchisee
26/02/2024 - 19:45
Maybe it differs between franchisees, but the ones I've seen have all put up a sign (e.g. 'afternoon special'). Probably depends on closing…

FYI China Southern provide free layover hotels over ~6 hours (i think). Transit visa is available on arrival. Hainan is rated 5 stars on…

Thanks OP, used 23,600 points to buy IP15PM 512GB for $2184, saving $365 (~15%) off RRP. It looks like pretty good value - usually ~20k…

If you need food and bags, the savings will be diminished, but it great to have the option if you don't need them. e.g. I fly to NZ…

Lucky you're in Sydney! Melbournians aren't as spoiled for choice 🥲 I think it all comes down to the person at the end of the day, and…

Personally I'd pay the $140 difference just to avoid a stopover in KL with AirAsia. But I can also see how some may value the $140 saving.…

Note that the prices are marked up from dining/takeaway prices. Delivery is done through Doordash, and prices are Doordash prices.

I'd say thats more than minor ....
16/02/2024 - 15:14
Yeah looks like a price error. There's been quite a few sub-$1000 return deals to Europe ([Rome](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/825743),…

It's not as slick as Singapore or Qatar, but it's still a full-service carrier. Baggage is usually 2x 23kg in economy, 7kg carry on (which…

Where did you see that? A quick glance at the T&Cs says only St.George, Bank of Melbourne or BankSA customers are excluded.
11/02/2024 - 18:15
You're welcome. If you're still looking I recommend [RWRDS](https://www.rwrds.com.au/) as a good starting point. Whilst it isn't…

Bang for your buck is a better way to put it! In OPs case the could go for Qantas Amex Ultimate ($3000) + the ANZ Qantas Black ($5000), and…

I agree with your sentiment that you shouldn't exceed your 'normal' spending just to get the bonus. What I'm trying to indicate is the…
11/02/2024 - 16:08
Purely from a bonus offer perspective, ANZ looks better by far (assuming you personally value/use QFF points). $12,000 is a lot to spend…

If you can't be bothered selling on FB Marketplace, Mobile Monster usually buys 2nd hand phones at a better price than trade in. If you…
