Decided to go with this ANZ deal instead of the Velocity Flyer. Main reason is that the spend just needs to be made over the next 3…

For a moment, I thought the G54's price had gone up - lol I've just got the G54 on my mind... JB sorely needs to discount it to $149 again

We weren't married at the time I moved in.

Cheers for the heads up. That's good news.

IKR... it was actually beginner's luck in my case. Whilst I'd honestly say I have more property knowledge than the average joe and was…

It's been a while since I took my valuation subject at Uni but I believe it can be. I mean, all the data is there plus more if you do it…

^ This Also, that algorithm that realestate.com.au uses is considered an appraisal and not a valuation either. Some of those figures I…

Yes, if you don't have a valuation (and I stress valuation i.e. that can only be done by a registered valuer... not an appraisal i.e. a…

OP, do you own property B? If Property B is a rental, then the 6yr rule will apply as you'd be claiming Property A as your PPOR still. E.g.…

Some of the SEA countries are already testing A14 on the G54 i believe. It'll come. Just needs any issues ironed out first.

Be sure to look up QFF point expiration and how to keep them from expiring. What I explained to you was Velocity... I have no clue about…

Bonus amounts are usually easy to hit, though, in my case, I've been dialing back my monthly spend so I need to time my card applications…

Yep. Sign up, meet the minimum spend, get bonus points, cancel, sign up again when waiting period is over and at least 4-6 months after…

Have you considered churning cards to get bonus points instead? I've been churning cards for Velocity Points for well over a decade. Stuck…

I was gonna say something similar. I've only ever owned $20k cars. Put the rest in property. In fact, i owned property before owning a car.…

Cheers for that. So going by the figure and data is encrypted, we shouldn't have Google or Meta services blocked right? So i am wondering…

Yeah, this is the other reason I won't put a VPN on my parents' phone. VPNs to access foreign content are technically illegal in China. If…

Cheers for the extra info. I'm visiting my folks on Wednesday... taking the day off so I have more time to inspect their mobile phones…

Cheers render, ocular and Bunwy. That's interesting that some have no issues over international roaming and others do. I'm confident it's…

I probably should have said 'local sim's mobile data' i.e. a sim card bought in China. But your point on whether roaming using lical mibile…

Cheers bud. I wish my folks were more tech savvy with VPNs but I fear it might cause more issues than it solves. I've bought them a G54 and…

I'll do you one better... already bought mum and dad a new Moto G54 and a TravelKon travel esim where Google services are confirmed to work…

Thanks for the reply with those experiences. Regarding your mate who was on Optus roaming, could I confirm that's without the need to use a…

Thank you for your experience. Interesting to hear 3-4 months ago things were still OK with Felix mobile and Telstra too. Just confirming…

So from your experience it's blocked over international roaming too and not just local wifi or local mobile data?

I'm mainly looking for experiences from after Oct 2023... my folks were in China in Oct 2023 as well and Amaysim roaming worked almost…

Do we need to provide a credit or debit card when signing up?

Just wondering if anyone has found that Google services are now blocked over international roaming with your Aussie mobile provider when in…

Thanks Anton! Good timing... my folks will be heading to China at least once in the next 180 days.

Cheers! Seems they've gotten rid of the clause that states that to be considered a new customer to qualify for the bonus points, one must…
