Sgav on AmEx Statement Credit: 10% of Spend Back at Special Gift Cards (up to $20 Back One Time Only) @ American Express
the gift card itself had been cancelled? did you get a refund?
I'm not sure if the issue is the plus saver, coles will just increase your required spend anyway to creep you into spending more. This has…
While clearing out my drawer i found a small stack of 5x $100 coles MC's from a previous offer. I used up their balances the same day i…

1000 bucks for a wheel? am i seeing that right? It's been decades since i've looked at anything gaming; but i remember paying about 250…
Could be, yet grey is a $700 option on the more expensive shark 6; which IMO is more targetted at the cashed up showy demographic. Even on…
sure, but why does grey cost $2000 on the sealion 7 when it's a $600 option on the sealion 6? I could understand a small difference if it's…
Why's it cost $1.5-2k to pick a different colour on a sealion 7, whereas it's $600 to do the same on a sealion 6?

Thanks, i've read similar before but you've explained it well. For me coverage and strength is the most important feature; raw speed less…

For those lucky enough to have owned both at some point; is the flint 3 an upgrade over the flint 2 in real world usage? The 2 is highly…

A lot of people are saying that BOC are difficult to deal with. What sort of success rates do you typically have when applying for loans…

jlien commented on Join or Switch to Qantas Health Insurance & Hold for 180 Days, Get up to 150,000 Qantas Points @ Qantas Health Insurance
Holding overpriced insurance for 180 days to get 150k points is a daft idea. Holding it for 60 days for 120k points, ehhh maybe? Lets see…
jlien commented on Spend $65 a Week for 4 Weeks at Woolworths for 8,000 Everyday Reward Points (Activation Required) @ Everyday Rewards
looks like they're taking a leaf from coles' book and somehow doing it worse.

Do BOC have max LVR requirements for some property types? e.g. they only do 70% for apartments etc.

Gumbootboy on Earn 20x Everyday Rewards Points on Apple Gift Cards (Limit 10 Cards Per Day, In-Store Only) @ Woolworths
If they're behind the counter then they should be pretty safe i'd say. Usually when i buy them & the prepaid cc's, the coles/woolies i go…

heh i was eyeing this router all through BF, was going to buy it on the weekend with the NAB $10 off; but that ran out so decided to put it…
Sad but unsurprising. It was a handy loophole while it lasted. I always find it funny that they hand you a leaflet that says "scam alert,…
