Now says "This offer is valid for new policy purchases from 1 March 2022 – 26 March 2024", and it seems to be valid now.
nickj replied to Scrobo on Samsung 870 EVO 2TB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD $138.18 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Thank you. 24 drives is enough that you'd have to think any problems would have shown up by now. I also looked into the Crucial MX500 too,…
nickj replied to Headless on 10%-40% Discount on Velocity Points Purchases (e.g. 110,000 Points for $1544.40) @ Points.com
Highly doubt it. Status credits are generally flights only + a few special promos.

I guess I'm looking for a "keeper" card with a very low/no annual fee, a low credit limit (e.g. $3k is perfect) that earns Qantas points…

They're not available at the 2 Coles stores I visit (Sydney, inner-city), and that's why I couldn't find them.
