jlien commented on Belkin BoostCharge Hybrid Wall Charger 25W + Power Bank 5K with Travel Adapter Kit $30 + Del ($0 OnePass/ C&C) @ Officeworks

they did, they kept the citi branding (for now) but the cc's are issued by NAB. They even show up as NAB products in a credit file search.

no reason you couldn't do this at a manned checkout counter. They allow split payments there too. If they give you the side eye, say you…

Milkywayss on Variable Rate Home Loan 4.99% (5.04% CR), Max 80% LVR @ Police Credit Union

In the eyes of the taxman, redrawing money already paid into a loan counts as a new loan. The tax deductibility of any loan you have, is…

jlien commented on Macquarie Bank Fixed 2-Year Home Loan 4.99% p.a. (LVR 70% or Less, CR 5.54% p.a.) + up to $2000 Broker Rebate @ Macquarie Bank
I'd fix at 4.99% for 1 year sure, 2/3 years is a poor offer though.

jlien commented on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 256GB + Galaxy Watch 8 40mm for $0 on 24M $69/M Optus Plan in-Store Only @ Harvey Norman
that's actualy a really good deal. Even if you value the plan itself at say $30/month, $39x24 for the phone and watch is $936.

jlien commented on [Capped] Get 5 Bonus Points Per $1 Spent at Participating Shop Small Businesses, up to 1000 Bonus Points @ American Express
this shop small is the worst i've seen :/ Saved the offer anyway, since i do use my card a lot at small merchants

Oh Daddy on AmEx Platinum Card: 225,000 Rewards Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $1,450 Annual Fee

I literally got mine in april.

$19 for a chefs knife in VG10 is a great deal. Shame about the bolster; but it'll be a long time before it gets in the way of sharpening.

jlien commented on AmEx Platinum Card: 225,000 Rewards Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $1,450 Annual Fee
good but not as good as the 275k offer; hopefully they bring that one back.
