General question about meeting spending requirements... Why are government payments and similar typically excluded? Is there a logical…

We continue to interfere with survival of the fittest. As a result, the gene pool weakens with every generation in recent times.

5 years. The price diff is only $30. The opportunity cost of $230 over 5 years should be way more than that. The only caveat is demonic…

Not advice, but you don't actually need a driver's licence, unless you get pulled over. From what I see, lots of folk, typically the best…

Qld must have changed in the last few years, because I never got charged for the transfer of my licence.

So, you're saying we shouldn't use (waste) time saving 1c rounding at supermarket checkouts? Unbelievable. ;)

5 years obviously. Invest the difference in Bitcoin, which is going to the moon! After 5 years, you can pay for another 5 years with some…

Same, but you can easily login with mobile, DOB, then use code sent to mobile. After that, when logged into app, resend the email - for me…

Nice. Almost certainly less hastle than what I've been doing, even doing 1 gift card at a time.

Same here - not good enough. Re-installed the app for the deal, so bit of a waste. Biding time...

Sounds like a bargain - regardless of how little time or how easy it is, compare it to the minimum cost for almost any tradie and you'll be…

True, that's where this card might be worthwhile. If the lounge passes are valued at say $30 each, it works out to roughly $5/mth for…

404 not found...

This is very close to Chinese prices - tempting. Also, Queensland is a large place, and with both Qld stores within 50km of Brisbane CBD,…

How many spouses and children do you have? ;)

This is always the best promo. Effectively (if your required to spend $50 - and only spend just that amount), its 25% off (or fourth shop…

Oh c'mon. Are you an Aussie or what? Everyone knows when Aussies are desparate, they buy toilet paper... lots of toilet paper... ;)

Yeah, been there, tried that :)

Similar here, but fortunately I have 1 day in week 4 to spend, then 10k points on return!

Thanks. I'm still not sure about the ambiguity (t&c titles vs content) but I've now done the same as you - saved a seller. Will wait a day…

Actually, in defence of 28 Degrees, and this is only my personal experience... 1. I have not ever been charged the monthly fee - they've…

I'm in my second year of them not charging me. If that changes, so will I.

It WOULD be a good card if they actually approved it. I have almost no debt, great credit, and got rejected - after a lengthy and…

YMMV, but I kept my 28 degrees. Haven't ever been charged the $10 monthly fee - and they give me regular offers which have totalled several…

If you're likely to need your money in 2 years or less, you should probably be in cash, not shares, as shares can go up or down, and it'd…

Well, that's just blown my trust out of the water. Looks like a phone call to confirm, and a withdrawal if things aren't looking ok. That'd…

I've been happy every time I've flown with them. One of the best Chinese carriers.

Yep, you couldn't find them, but no doubt they were nearby. Folks have been known to hide them prior to the sale. And Coles seem to happily…

If you have a big stack of cards unused, how can you tell one or more of them haven't been drained? Surely you'd have to do a balance check…

I've had a couple of Coles try to refuse letting me split payment when buying these cards, something necessary to keep the individual…
