Any idea if it’s safe to pre-pay?

Yeah pretty sure it does _not_ show up as an open/active credit card. But I can’t remember if there was an enquiry at the time of signup…

Is that a pre-payment? i.e. you don’t actually owe them anything?

Yeah BPAY via Zip Pay. I don’t think you can repay Zip Plus balance using credit cards, pretty sure it only works for standard Zip ($1500…

Ah good point, I forgot about that use case. I’ve been primarily using it to meet min spends for churning, so only cared about Visa/MC…

For ATO payments, it feels less risky to use Zip BPAY instead.

The same happened to me. There was no sign of tampering with the physical card: packaging is sealed and does not look like it has been…

I'm in Sydney. I've never been to said restaurant in Melbourne. I'm saying the hacker must be in cahoots with the restaurant so they can…

I suspect the restaurant is in on it. Mine got drained at what looks like a random small Chinese restaurant, their menu items are all…

Same here. I submitted a dispute via Blackhawk's website and still waiting for a response. Is it easier to ask Coles for a refund instead?

Are these as easily hackable as the physical cards? Bought one from Coles a couple of weeks ago and the balance was drained a couple of…

I got the banner, rejoined, code doesn't work.

Ah cool. No interest in Echo spying devices, but $20 off sounds good. Hard to say if they'd offer it again this year though... these kinds…

Better offers for _joining_ Prime? What did they offer in the past?

Do they use a local carrier or roaming? Any chance you could tell us the IP address you get?

One of the comments in that video points out that the batteries will become unbalanced after a while because there doesn't seem to be any…

Not completely risk-free. I bought a few $500 Apple gift cards from giftcards.com.au a couple of years ago. One of them didn't work. Still…

Never heard of this brand... how does it compare against reputable brands like Eaton? Can't find much technical information about this UPS…

These SIM starter packs have an "must activate by" date. Once activated, the plan is valid for the next 365 days. Basically this store got…

> i am just curious what people are talking about when they mentioned 2 sim pack? They sell a 2x SIM pack on their website for $390:…

Same here, no update since the initial order email, and no link to check status.

Nooooooo I should’ve googled before ordering :(

Seems the 2x SIMs pack is still available to order, even though the single SIM pack is out of stock 🤔 Just ordered one, wonder what…

Isn’t this illegal? I thought they must offer at least 1 payment method that doesn’t have a surcharge.

@tightarse What FX rate will eBay use when reporting the transaction to you, if the item is priced in USD?

Is this true? Seems the total cost is the same between 22 and 30 days so I just booked for 30 even though I only need 23... Hope they don't…

According to their FAQ: > If you arrive more than 2 hours before or after your booked entry time you may be subject to additional fees on…

Seems the total cost is the same for bookings between 22 and 30 days. Is this normal? Is there any downside to booking 30 days and then…

Prices have been jacked up compared to yesterday, so actual discount is significantly less than 19%.

You freeze them in vacuum-sealed bags.
