Russ commented on RACQ Lifestyle Membership - $5 for 12 Months @ RACQ
This is a price drop from RACQ, previously RACQ Lifestyle was $26/year according to this previous deal:…

Hang on, NRMA is only free for the first 12 months, then $60/year. How are you getting it for free?

Does NRMA offer 4c/litre off the price of petrol at Caltex service stations, like RACQ does?

> seem to get decent reviews I've had the pipe wrench for about a year, it's a good tool.

That's bizarre. Says "216x135 pixels" and also says "HD video". Both can't be true! Also not a TV, at best it's a video player. But thanks…

Thank you! That's an excellent idea, because that stand has a flat base that a small set-top box can sit on. This is the option I'll…

KFC discount appears to vary from store to store. Do you know what your local store offers?

While I agree it's inappropriate to describe wired headphones as lossless, not all wired digital signals are lossless. One example is…

Maybe OzBargain needs a separate Wiki page for Seniors discounts, so we can find them all in one place! @scotty, can this be set up? Or…

Or the Seniors Business Discount Card, which you can get from age 60 while still in full-time employment!

Thanks! > you can only use 2 on 1 purchase. Okay, that's workable. Two vouchers = $40 = 5 reams of printer paper. Then go back the next day…

Just to be clear, if I buy one item with Gold Service Extras, I will receive one $20 voucher every four months for three years, correct? So…
