I'm pretty sure you can "upgrade" to a regular economy ticket later if you initially buy a Basic Economy ticket. So if you're solo and…

My liver is thanking me for being overseas and missing this.

I got an email with a challenge to spend A$500+ on international purchases until late Sept, and I’ll get $50 cash credit. Of course, you…

Plus, interest is taxable, so yet another net positive for the gift card. Even if it takes you a year to use it, you're doing better than…

Although we don’t know the details of re-verifying student enrolment again in August, my guess is that it’s just the email check again.…

Haven't seen this posted anywhere yet. Was perusing on Westpac's site and noticed that from 1st August 2025, the earning on Altitude credit…

I don’t think you can combine the referral and the Shopback cashback. It might appear that way, but the T&Cs for the Ovo cashback are…

Note that these are Basic Economy fares. No changes or refunds allowed. You also have to pay extra to choose your seat in advance. One fare…

If you put the time in, you can make incredible ice cream with this device. I know someone who has one and it’s his new hobby. The ice…

AUD to USD dropped almost 4.5% overnight from 63.3 to 60.46 cents. US markets getting hammered which may push the Fed to cut rates, hence…

I've not checked what the rates are now. I did this deal last June, so I'm not out of the 12-month period yet to do it again. Expiry is 26…

Join AGL for up to 35,000 Velocity Points, plus a chance to win a $2,000 energy bill credit. When you sign-up you’ll get 20,000 Velocity…

Same. That's 6.5 weeks or so from purchase. In the last two weeks, I kept getting messages from Temu to accept a credit from my past…

Same. Only excuse is that I hadn't had my morning coffee before checking OzB. Coffee is the enemy of a good April fool's prank (common…

Westpac approved in a jiffy (no need for phone calls, payslips emailed in, etc.). Had been just over 24 months since cancelling my last…

Unsure. I do think Virgin's cards are NAB-affiliated somehow. I'm not sure if that helps or hurts in terms of choosing Virgin.

I've tried to download with VLC using the DLNA enabled option on Plex. It used to be awful (less than 50% of attempted downloads actually…

xrailgun is not being over dramatic. I’ve been using Plex for about 12 years now. It breaks all the time, especially 5-12 years ago.…

That is BS. I cancelled with about 1.5 months left before the next annual fee and get 1.5 months back pro rata. Granted, this was not too…

Nope. Took a few business days to get the $40 after my first purchase. 5 days in total I think, 2 of which were the weekend.

I'm guessing you're talking about the Virgin Flyer card?? Or perhaps the High Flyer Card?

Worked for me too. Thanks!

I'm 99% sure that gift cards bought at Kmart, BigW, etc. will count toward the minimum purchases threshold. I have used Coles Pre-Paid…

Wifi calling didn’t show on my phone, but it’s working. I’m still stuck on “activating” in settings, but I sent a text to the #…

Yes to a few of those. I agree that LLMs are a great thing and help with all that you've listed. I've been using freely available LLMs…

Not saying it isn't, but I guess I need to learn to use it more to get to that level of thinking. Any links that suggest how to get this…

OK. I didn't think you had to apply using the link they provided, just activate with what's on their page. Maybe the use of a "special…

Quite sure it would work, but not 100%. You don't need to use the link on the offer page to apply for the card, but you do need to ACTIVATE…

With wait periods for churning with AMEX and Westpac, this hurts as we need churning options. Probably only a matter of time until Virgin…

Same!! They had it in Feb last year, so when it didn't happen last month, I thought it might not ever happen again. The timing is perfect…
