scrone replied to blitzpaladin on 30k Bonus Velocity Points or 250 Status Credits or $200 Coles Voucher with New Credit Card from Partners @ Velocity Freq Flyer
When does the statement period start? Is it from the activation of the card or from the first purchase? I'm cutting it fine to get gold.

Disclaimer - Melburnian take. Weather: Sydney is patently better. Melbourne has winter for like 7 months of the year and it's miserable.…

My Pixel 6 Pro has definitely had more bugs than my Pixel 2XL. It has been an inferior user experience. That said I still think pixels are…

I'd use it but i don't trust the transaction tracking. Been screwed over by cashrewards too many times.

I'm too attached to my 2XL to upgrade when it still runs great. I know it's probably going to fall off a cliff in the next 6 months but…

Still using my Pixel 2XL. Without question the best phone I've ever had. Will be sad when I have to upgrade.

Same. 2XL is the best phone I've ever had hands down. It'll be sad when I have to replace it.

Almost no reason to buy the current year's Pixel. I bought the 2XL a year after release and it's still going strong. Planning to pick up…

scrone replied to coffeeinmyveins on Roku Japanese Gin 700ml $48.90 + Delivery ($0 with Plus /C&C) @ Dan Murphy’s eBay (OOS) & Dan Murphy's (Online Only)
That's because most people including bars put way too much tonic water in. Should only be a splash. That said I prefer soda water too.

Even better just ditch the tonic completely and drink it with soda water. Cheaper, less calories and you can taste the gin.

The crisis isn't over. Stay cash and wait it out. There's no benefit going back into the market the upside is almost 0.

I'm torn on this. Plenty of good reviews and plenty of bad reviews. What other options are people considering?

Probably as weak a case as you can get - duty of care issues, weak connection to damage etc.
