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

On the face of it I agree with you - since there is the potential to earn up to 60,000 bonus Velocity points. However, the T&Cs says that…

shake commented on United Airlines Return to San Francisco: Melbourne fr $982, Brisbane fr $984, Sydney fr $1050 (Direct flights) @ flightfinderau
@flightfinderau - are these Basic Economy or Main Economy fares? I tried clicking through, but couldn't find this stated anywhere.

For equivalent specs on paper, would Ryobi or Ozito be the generally-preferred option?

E5TOQUE on Ford Mustang Mach-E Drive Away - Select $63,000, Premium $77,000, GT $94,000 (up to $12,000 off) @ Ford

Agree. Don’t understand why people get so hung up on the name - and worse, judge others by the name of the car they drive.

Had the same problem with the cable. Makes me think some of these items were never available in the first place.

Thanks for posting OP. Personally for me though, these sorts of deals are pretty useless these days. Perhaps some categories might still…

Practical answer is probably not. And you're probably right that it's not worth worrying too much about HMB for my general use case. But…
