bk1973 commented on 10% off $100 & $250 Mastercard Gift Cards ($4.50/$6.30 Activation Fee Applies) @ Coles
Saw like 30-40 $250's at my local just now. They all stared at me, and I caved and bought one more. Have a few utility bills to pay, so I...

Sure, someone "invented" the rinse and wash, but that didn't mean you should overly abuse the system and buy 100 cards. When more people...

NervousBurger on 10% off $100 & $250 Mastercard Gift Cards ($4.50/$6.30 Activation Fee Applies) @ Coles

I think if the same Coles saw you buying 24 X 5 (5 at a time), alarm bells would go off. I was eyed closely at the self-checkout just...

Indeed, it works.

I tried earlier with BUPA, but was just after I bought the cards. BUPA came up with "insufficient funds". I imagine/hope it will work after...

Sleep Sounds is a great Alexa Skill. Been using it every night for the last 3 years or so. It's really good if there are noisy morning...

Question: when paying for something online, it asks for the "Name on the card". Is the name supposed to be "A Gift For You" like it is on...

I was at Coles near me a little after 8am. 100% cleaned out. Only the $50 ones remained, which are not on sale. I went to buy other things,...

This! Signs of stagflation are there. NZ is already saying screw the housing market, and are already up to an OCR of 2.0%. They had two...

bk1973 commented on Up to 1.60% p.a. Interest + 5,000 Points + 8 Points Per Spend ($2,000 Deposit + 5 Purchase Monthly Req'd) @ Virgin Money
Open multiple savers and use the lock. This way, if you do need some of the money, you only lock one of those accounts. You don't have to...

That was quick. Too quick.

Wazoo7 on ReAmped Energy General Discussion: No Longer Taking New Customers, Usage Charges Increasing

I did compare the rate shown by Econnox to the rate shown on Tango's website. It was exactly the same for an electricity-only plan (called...

Same. I'm signing up for Tango today just for the fixed 12 months (in VIC). It will cost 16% more for the year by my spreadsheet calcs, but...

I thought I read that they needed to give 5 days notice. Time to abandon ship immediately.

Switching now to Tango. I think it's the smartest move. Even if rates somehow don't go up (doubtful!), we can always change to something...

Still haven't received mine. Ordered 13 days ago. Last time I was with them, it took a while to get the SIM too. I feared this was going to...


Got mine today. Wrong name, but correct mobile # on the package. Second can was coke classic, not coke zero. Was the goal to maximise the...

Tempted. I have an Honor Band 5 that is two years old, but still very good. Alexa support would be great.

So far I've only been charged once. I logged into my old Amaysim account and purchased through there. Cashrewards tracked too.

SaintSteve on Get 5000 Reward Points When You Link Everyday Rewards Card and Spend $50 on Health & Wellness Products @ healthylife

Linked only. Didn't know you could boost via the app. Maybe that is why it took an hour instead of the 20 minutes that Ok-computer waited.

WW Rewards took almost an hour to show up for me. Be patient.

If CR tracks, great, and lucky you. But if not, it's not quite the same. With just CR and no site coupon, the $50 final total becomes 40,...

bk1973 commented on Get $20 after 3 Card Purchases in Your First 30 Days (New Customers) @ ubank (Previously 86 400)
What will the eventual unified Ubank look like? Will it have the "original" features or the 86400 ones? Perhaps it's just me, but the...

Nope. Read the T&C's. By end of this month. I imagine there will be some good deals around Black Friday.
