OzBargain Official Checklist

There needs to be an OzBargain standard checklist of achievements that you need to tick off before you can call yourself an official OzBargainer. I’m assuming there’s no one already.

For example, you need to go to Officeworks and actually request a price match (and stand around for ages like a bellend because nobody knows what they’re doing) or when you go to a store and buy multiple gift cards because they have a points deal for them.

That latter one happened to me today. I bought 6 x $500 Apple Gift Cards because they currently have 20 x points. The dude behind me fully blew up because the cashier had to put them through one by one. It was awesome.

Edit: I’ll compile a definitive list from your suggestions shortly.

      I’m Indian. If I flush the toilet once a week, that’ll end in tears (literally). We like flavour in our food.

    Need to have at least one piece of official OzBargain merch that was free from attending a meetup or won in a competition.

      You guys have merch?

        I think it’d be more accurate to say limited run t-shirts rather than merch but yes.

        • There were also hoodies
