macklington on Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 128GB $1,347 (Was $1,847) + Delivery ($0 C&C / in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Oof, 0.5 QFF points per dollar on the Qantas Black card? That's rough for a Level 1 card, wonder if other banks will follow suit. Though at…

Was always a good trick, and still works for 4G now that 3G is dead, with everyone saturating 5G instead at major events yeah.
