Chemist warehouse also a pretty easy one to spend $50 at

It should be quite easy to set up a UK bank account through HSBC premier, but it will take him a month to qualify as a premier customer.…

100,000 points for $70 is about as good as it gets at the moment

Your website has a half page ad for skyscanner that I can’t close. I guess I’ll just go there to find the flights.

Who in their right mind is paying $65 a kilo retail for Campos?

recession1 replied to CashMachine10 on 20,000 Bonus Points or Double Earn Rate for 6 Month (60,000 Capped) with Signup of Select Credit Cards @ Velocity Frequent Flyer
Not if that $10k spent would otherwise be on another points earning card, and especially not if that $10k counts towards a sign on bonus…

It reads as 60k bonus points for 60k spend to me. But that does require you to spend $60k…

recession1 replied to CashMachine10 on 20,000 Bonus Points or Double Earn Rate for 6 Month (60,000 Capped) with Signup of Select Credit Cards @ Velocity Frequent Flyer
You’d need to be spending $4-5k minimum per month to make the double earn worthwhile. I think I’ll bank the 20k points within 30 days…

You need to hold them both in hand and see which one feels better. It’ll come down to whether you want the buttons on the libra. While…

I appreciate the effort you put into these posts, but your website is a pain to navigate.

recession1 commented on 1-Day Acuvue Moist 30-Pack $24.90 (Was $39) + $9.99 Shipping ($0 with $139 Order) @ ANZLENS
I can only see negative power prescriptions and not positive. Am I doing something wrong?

What hippo said. It’s worth going somewhere that can tell you how your foot pronates just once so you know what shoes to get going…

recession1 commented on Bankwest Qantas Platinum Mastercard: 60,000 QFF Pts ($7,500 Spend in 90 Days) + 20,000 Pts after 15 Months. $199 Fee, No FX Fee
I don’t mind the $7.5k spend. The more frustrating term is the 5 month wait for points to issue.

What a waste of time letting you get to checkout then saying they don’t deliver to your city.

recession1 commented on $30 off Fee (25% of Annual Savings, $0 with Less than $240 off Mobile Bill) @ Churna (Mobile, Internet, Gas Comparison)
This is a pretty good side hustle idea, but I don’t think you’ll find your market on ozbargain!

Select any movie, input the code, then you’ll get an email with two vouchers to redeem for that movie (or any other movie)

Yeah looks like you’re right. Mine actually say they expire on 31/5/28.

Same. Didn’t expect it to complete the checkout as soon as I pasted the code.
