Create a spreadsheet, do the sums & you'll have your answer.

Not a bad deal for someone who has churned through every bonus and is serving their waiting period.

Damn, bought this for full price only a week ago. RIP.

Thanks OP, great deal.

The former. From what I've read, mixed reports on the latter. Some people seem to get away with it. Others seem to get into trouble in the…

Just liquidated several thousand as ATO payments, so ATO is working fine.

Right on schedule, thanks for making it so cheap to retain WP, Qantas :)

And $129 flight voucher technically makes this card profitable.

Only if you care about VA status. I only redeem VA points for long-haul J (where status doesn't matter) or short-haul Y (where I don't care…

You're looking at the wrong screen. The Escape card is not listed on the offer page. Indeed, it is explicitly excluded from the offer: 'Who…

Perfect timing. About to hit a boatload of spend.

Agree. As the credit card market has consolidated in Australia (most obvious example being NAB swallowing Citi), there are fewer sign-up…

There are established buying groups (ie resellers) that Kogan could get them from. Very lucrative business in the US. They basically…

Kogan only making a small-ish profit on these. $AUD6349 = $USD4200. Base model sells for $3499. Assume 8% sales tax = $280. Most resellers…

You can't. You have to develop a knowledge of which programs have it and which do not. Eg Qantas is pretty notorious for having married…

^ This is the winning combo in my experience too. Pointsyeah is more beginner friendly because it operates like a regular search engine.…

More routes, more programs.

Points Path only covers American carriers. And Award Fares (assuming that's what you meant) has a more limited set of carriers than…

Good service that has its limitations. The Black Friday sale was better. Long gone alas.

Risk probably was lower, but still not 0. And it sounds like you were a pretty egregious case.

What's most interesting about this post is your assessment of risk. It's a good example of how humans are terrible at assessing risk (read…

Thanks, appreciate it.

Does the ATO accept these?

The shutdown apparently came in December, as WookieMonster's comment suggests.

These no longer work at the ATO, right?

Presumably some referral links have an elevated offer for the referee. Need to make sure that you're getting the 275K points before hitting…

Public link now displays 100K sign-up bonus (no referral needed anymore):…
