    Thanks OP, upvoted. Nice offer swappable for Coles and Bunnings. The Lunar New Year is celebrated not only by Chinese but also Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and other cultures.

      Chinese new year is calculated by the traditional Chinese calendar (Chinese Agricultural Calendar), which is a solar/lunar combined calendar system, so it is not a lunar new year at all!

      • -7

        To you and the other two mates, the Chinese new year is PURELY counted by the lunar calendar

    • +16

      As far as I understand, "lunar" new year suggests it's the first day of a lunar calendar, and there are many types of calendars across different civilisations.

      But Chinese calendar is not a "lunar" calendar, but a lunisolar calednar (meaning, "incorporating elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar, indicating both the phase of the Moon and the time of the solar year"). Thus, technicially, calling the upcoming Chinese new year 2023-01-23 a lunar new year is incorrect.

      The 3rd type of calendar is "solar" calendar, which the western calendar (Gregorian calendar) is one of them.

      • -6

        This is just your unilateral speculation. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially uses lunar new year to refer to the Chinese New Year.

        http://us.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/zgyw/202201/t20220129_106…
        "Greetings to you all. On behalf of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, I would like to convey to you, your families and your colleagues our sincere regards and best wishes as we ring in the Lunar New Year"

          But that's because it's weird to call Chinese food "Chinese food" in China. Same goes for new year.

            @clx: Chinese embassy in australia use "Chinese new year" to celebrate that date, sounds weird is not a reason.

            • +1

              @Stevendkl: I guess then it doesn't matter what term the embassy uses because their embassies are not consistent throughout the world.

              • +1

                @clx: This is a speech by the Minister of Foreign Affairs rather than a draft issued by ordinary diplomats. Every word will be scrutinized at the highest level. This can only show the attitude of the Chinese official government that the lunar new year can represent the Chinese New Year.

        • +1

          The traditional Chinese calendar is called Nongli, to differentiate from Western Yangli, it's called Yinli or Nongli. Calling it Lunar(moon) is NOT accurate but sort of opposite to Sloar (Georgian)

          • -4

            @Jamesx: Lunar New Year is an overall concept, which refers to the New Year corresponding to all moon-related calendars in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and does not require that the calendar only contains the movement of the moon. Obviously, Chinese New Year is also a kind of Lunar New Year.

          Jesus is not Australian but Australian celebrate Christmas and Australian did not ask to change the name of Christmas

          Vietnamese is not Chinese but Vietnamese celebrate CHINESE New Year but they ask to change the name?? Ridiculous

          • @paperbag11: Vietnamese do NOT celebrate Chinese New Year, but "Tết". This coming year is the Year of the Cat for Vietnamese, not the Rabbit. Even the New Year dates can differ between Chinese & Vietnamese calendars, depending on the lunar cycles (exact time of the new moon marks a new month).

            • @downtime:

              Even the New Year dates can differ between Chinese & Vietnamese calendars, depending on the lunar cycles (exact time of the new moon marks a new month).

              no u ar wrong, the Vietnamese people use the Chinese calendar as their "lunar calendar", exactly the same.

          • @paperbag11: Vietnamese doesn't celebrate Chinese new year, next year is the year of cat in Vietnam but it's Rabbit in China

            • +16

              @chanhoz: If that's the case, then why the hell you guys keep telling people it's not called Chinese New Year it's call Lunar??? Why keep correcting people from calling Chinse new year to Lunar if they are not the same thing.

              If know history well, East Asia influence by old China a lot that's why East Asia use Lunar Calendar or variant of it. And your people from your country just adopt the culture. And create a variant of it. Admit or not this is the fact.

                @paperbag11: Why? If Jesus is as obnoxious as Winnie & gangs, Australians might actually wanna call it Australia-mas instead

              • -3

                @paperbag11: If know geography well, you will know Vietnam is South East Asia not East Asia. Also do you go around and relabel all Vegemite bottle into Marmite the "original" way? Again, Vietnamese has never been celebrating CHINESE New Year, Vietnamese has always been celebrating Vietnamese new year which calculated using Vietnamese lunar calendar which originated from Chinese calendar but with improvements to fit Vietnamese DISTINCT culture.

                And your people from your country just adopt the culture. And create a variant of it.

                No, it's borrow, adopt and improves. Similar to China figured out gun powder but got colonized by Europeans who had adopted and improved those gun powder to overpower unimproved Chinese.

                  Besides the "title" like the year of the cat instead of the rabbit, 99.9% ar the same and u call that "improvements" ?
                  not to mention about the copyright laws, u can't even getaway with the class exam like that.
                  You got to be reasonable, you can't just "borrow, adopt and improves" the ao dai by just added one button to it and claim it someone else's traditional dress can you ?!

                    @samelight: You are the one being ridiculous, you just make assumption without proper knowledge. Anyone who know both chinese and Vietnamese lunar calendar will know how stupid you sound. I can tell you all the different between 2 countries but don't bother, just show 1 example of the different: in 2007, chinese new year eve is on 18 of Feb while Vietnam's one is on 17 of Feb. Yeah, exact the same days every year, you sound like someone's born after 2007. Maybe learn a bit more before you become a proper adult.

                      @chanhoz: ok with u "knowledge" plz tell me 365 days a year, what ar the odds of having the same day as a new year begin?
                      u know how to count that right ?

                      when u talking about 2007 thats 16 years ago! for the last 16years they ar the same right ?
                      what ar the odds?

                      and for the last 100 years, how many years ar the same and what ar the odds ?

                      after u counted the odds, tell me when i say 99.9% ar the same, am i right or wrong ?

                      when u copy something in a 99.9% ratio and claim thats urs, please tell me whos the one being stupid and ridiculous?

                          Vietnam is a communist country aswell. Open your mind, the internet here is not firewalled so don't choose to get urself brainwashed by some western media,

                          Be realistic, Trump is still banned from face book and Assange still in jail, when u pointing finger on the firewall there are more fingers pointing back at u, the western gov is not doing any better then the communist.

      it shouldnt be called lunar new year as it is base off traditional chinese calender which is only partially lunar

      • -1

        Just googled as I had no idea what's the difference. This article mentions China, Vietnam and Korea.

        Chinese New Year Vs. Lunar New Year: What's The Difference?

        https://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/chinese-new-year-vs-lun…

        Quote: Chinese New Year is actually only one festival under the umbrella term of Lunar New Year, which is a festival that occurs on the first day of a new year in the lunisolar calendar, a calendar that is based on the cycles of the moon’s phases and the sun’s position. While Lunar New Year is widely celebrated in Asia, Chinese New Year is specific to Chinese culture.

        Chinese people are the largest population that celebrates Lunar New Year, meaning all the people who observe Chinese New Year celebrate Lunar New Year, but not vice versa. In contexts outside of China, referring to Lunar New Year as Chinese New Year can come off as insensitive and offensive because it ignores other cultures, all of which have their own unique traditions, beliefs, and celebrations.

        • +4

          its good to see people at least trying to do own research rather than just listening to what biased media says.

          However, Chinese New Year started from more than 4 thousand years ago almost as long as the civilization "China". It is the first day of a complicated calendar system, not simple lunar calendar. Such culture was brought to other area or countries by antient Chinese people. And it is incorrectly interpreted by most western media or politicians as Lunar calender. That is the origin of CNY.

          Particularly, most of these articles who politically want to differentiate CNY from Lunar new year don't even know a basic concept. Chinese people call it Chinese new year is not only because of its the first day. The word "YEAR" in old Chinese culture represents a special monster in Chinese traditional legendary story. It is then linked to the culture of fireworks.

          The culture started from China, adopted by people who eventually went to other area in the world, becoming the calender system there and year after year.

    • +15
      1. It's celebrated by people from those countries because they absorbed the traditional culture from China. More specifically, it's brought by Chinese people to those countries /area during the antient time if you would like to read some history about culture and mankind. Celebrating it by those countries doesn't make it those countries' culture.

      2. By all means we can all learn and study each others' culture and can celebrate them if we like, especially in this globalized world. Not to mention that a "festival" after all is a chance to bring people happiness. However, respecting the history and the origin of that culture instead of stealing it is a fundamental thing.

      3. 4 or 5 years ago or before that, there was never such thing called Lunar New Year. Its always Chinese new year. Its been changed to Lunar new year in recent years only because of a dirty political game by those politicians to purposefully target China. Don't you feel weird that it is today the western media or some politicians there to teach people about Chinese tradition or culture instead of by Chinese people themselves?

      4. The most important thing is, Chinese New Year is never Lunar new year. It is not even Lunar calendar based. It is a mixed agricultural calendar system plus lunar calendar system that's there to guild antient Chinese people's daily and agricultural activities. I doubt those media or politicians there pretending that they know what Lunar new year is even know a single thing about how the Chinese traditional calendar system works at all.

      • +4

        Thanks for the details.
        I had never heard of Lunar New Year until recently.
        There is also the winter solstice Dec 22nd celebration before CNY.
        I only knew by the Chinese name and found out recently it's called winter solstice.

        • +3

          Well it is the first time I heard this translation as well and before that I only knew it as "Dong Zhi" or midwinter day.

          Winter solstice is one of the 24 Solar terms(Not sure if this is the accurate translation) in the Chinese traditional calendar representing 24 special days in a year guided by the relative position of earth, moon and the sun. Particularly for winter solstice, it is the day firstly determined around 2500 odd years from now representing the day in northern hemisphere with the longest night and shortest day time year round. In Gregorian calendar, it is around Dec 22nd or 23rd.

      Nope, should be 6.25% discount.

      Bought and received $10 gift card straight away. Thanks OP!

      • -2

        hhmmm
        Since you get $10 gift card on $150 GC purchase, the percentage of $10 in %150 would be: (10/150)*100=6.6666 %

        How did you get 6.25%?

        • +1

          10/160.

        • +1

          $160 of value for an outlay of $150… that’s a 6.25% discount

          • +2

            @tharlow: ahh I see, ok that makes sense thanks!

        • +2

          It depends how you look at it.

          You're paying $150 for $160 of value.
          So from this perspective, it is 6.25%.

        • It would only be 6.67% if the $10 bonus was given as cash back, meaning you spend only $140 to attain something that is $150 in value. But here, it's another $10 in gift card, so as explained by others, it's $160 value for a $150 expenditure making it 6.25%.

    • The bonus or the original? I just whack it all on Amazon

      • Either. Yeah I figure using in on something I'd already use is the best idea. Amazon is a good idea.

        • Woolworths is also good.

          • +2

            @tlai: I find that Coles gift cards are much harder to get discounts on (can anyone confirm that?), so I usually swap for Coles. For Woolworths', there are many other avenues (e.g. NRMA, Frequent Values) to get at least 4% off. Why are Coles gift cards not discounted by more incentive schemes?

            • @dlee: Most of the prices at Coles are at relatively lower already? and also Aldi?

              • +2

                @Bii: Hmm… I shop at both Coles and WW, and find that prices for most things are very similar, esp. for basics/essentials and home-brand items. What I find is that Coles has more frequent discounts/offers, and more generous Flybuys bonus points as well… Otherwise, the two supermarkets have very similar prices… Has a consumer agency done any research comparing the two?

                • @dlee: I shop at WW more since there's an easy access WW nearby, and there usually are some more "1/2 price" on the shelves than when I shop at Coles. WW even advertises something like "want 1/2 price shop at WW …" so to pull that, they need to adjust their other areas from my guess. Personally, I do a combination; hunting for the 1/2 price at WW (I save more cuz I am more familiar with the pricing here? plus 10%/month + 1.5% with everyday reward members + 5% with gift cards which I already have) and picking up some low pricing when I need at Coles. Not to mention it costs time and headache to bargain each shopping! It might be worth it.

                  Finder says they rarely have different pricing for the same items and do specials on their own schedule. So you are right.

                  • @Bii: I like the 10% per mth off with WW group products, but why did you say "1.5% with everyday reward members"?

                    Everyday Rewards, like the Coles Flybuys loyalty scheme, is only 0.5%, isn't it? Where do you get 1.5% from?

                    • @dlee: It's x3 points for Everyday Extra members which works out to be close to 1.5%. Sorry to confuse you

  • Doing calculation: it's 150/160 = 6.25% off
