Hey Everyone.
Making the most out of deals takes a bit of research. Say we see a deal in a catalogue and it's a good deal, this is when we need to take advantage using other offers. Lets use the Kindle 6" wifi @ Dick smith for $79 in catalogueNow currently dick smith has get $20 off when you spend $99 so this is when you would add a $20 item and basically get It free as your price would end up $99 - $20 deal = $79. That's one Example for dicksmiths deals which are on all the time.
Another example would be to use 2 promotions at once, Atm The good guys have visa cashback on selected Samsung TV's but also Samsung have a cashback promotion on TV's when you buy a tv and audio in 1 transaction So you could end up saving some big bucks if you are smart.
Signing up to big brand websites will constantly update you on latest promotions, alternatively you can visit each site every now and then. Look for cashback offers like Good Guys visa card cashback offers on Samsung TV's, wait for a good sale then pounce. There are always really good promotions for big brands that retail sites don't show and you Can Save $100's and get Free items.
Here is a list of some of the big brands promotions sections
Good Guys
Samsung
Sony
Panasonic
Jbhifi
Canon
Nikon
Phillips
Event Cinemas
Westfield

Plus go through affiliate by clicking with cashrewards, qwibble, StartHere etc. And the recent Amex Offers.
Now if only you could pay your Amex bill with a 5% cashback ING or ME card! ;-p
I've heard of people churning funds through gambling sites and trading accounts to earn QFF points. Can also be done if you have a bigger business with a payment account like BPay. The fees on most schemes make it low return but they do it.
