That's concerning. Up Bank are still saying "we don't impose a fee, but the ATM might". The 7-bank website says ["Fees for cards issued…

I might have overstated how common 7-eleven stores are. Even near the middle of Tokyo, some suburbs are "dormitory" suburbs, and have…

daft009 on Transfer KrisFlyer Miles to Velocity Frequent Flyer Points for 20% Bonus (3,871 VFF Points Per 5,000 Miles) @ Singapore Airlines

Can confirm, I managed to transfer my points from KrisFlyer to Velocity, and I received the 20% bonus points. It wasn't clear sailing…

> They never been profitable In a way, that's a good sign. Suggests they're not overcharging their customers.

I've only been to Japan since getting an Up account, and it's free to withdraw there when using 7-bank ATMs - which are in almost every…

It's not quite an unlimited number of offset accounts, but it's more than probably anyone will need. Up Bank allows up to 50 offset…

Thanks. I've only been a velocity member for about a month, so I haven't received such emails yet. Good to know I will.

> Usually twice a year. How do you get alerted to such deals? They don't seem to be listed on OzBargain that often.

Your URL has "ppsclub" in it, rather suggesting it is an exclusive offer to PPS Club. And two people, above, did transfer points across,…

Not as long as you keep earning more VFF points. I added my VFF membership to the 7-eleven app, so I earn points every time I buy petrol at…

I recommend you use some reinforcing with the epoxy. I've done pseudo-fibreglass repairs before, using epoxy as the resin, and it works…

What are you going to do for data, or don't you need it?

It can save significant money. Some people (like me) only need about 2GB of mobile data per year, so for me that adds $20 to the $60 plan.…
