  • Can't use for Opal travel payments for cashback next to useless now

    • +1

      topping up opal card still counts , just did this morning

      • But what's the point of that when you can just use Woolies eGiftcard to top up at 4% discounted?

        • Wasn't aware of this .

          • -1

            @hit23head: The whole point of using this card before was persistent 2% Cashback when paying Opal in NSW tap on tap off without recharging Opal card. Now they just got rid of it transport not eligible. Becomes meaningless unless you pay for non groceries split into $99.99 dollars….

            Most grocery shops have gift cards which would be cheaper

  • can anyone advice whether this 2% cashback is considered by ATO as Savings interest ?

    • It's not interest and it won't be prefilled in your tax return.

    • No it is not, but there may be tax implications if it is used for business purposes. Was answered here by an ATO rep
      https://community.ato.gov.au/s/question/a0J9s000000MmCS/p001…

      • You actually have to read the other thread it points to then the tax law https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/print?DocID=PSR%2FGA20044%2F…

        I think the confusion comes from people asking the question.

        If you use it for business purposes and you get a 2% rebate then the cost of doing business would go down 2%. You'd actually record it as rebate income which would flow to profits and taxed.

        If you are sole trader then your cost goes down. If you are a company then the company pays company tax and gets franking credits and you end up getting it as franking credit.

        For $600pa maximum benefit I'd like the ATO to send out field staff to visit you or review your paperwork to get $270 out of you LOL

      • Thanks! Only personal.

  • +1

    Hsbc doesn't do banking at post anymore.

  • +1

    I wish they would just increase the max transaction $ from 100!

  • Wait did ING used to offer 5% cashback under $100 with no cash daily limit?

    • Yeah long time ago. Miss those days.

  • Damn. If there was a credit card version of this, I would be all over it.

    Can't bring myself to use a debit card.

    • No difference. Just paying it before rather than later. You setup on google pay and pay like Credit card.

      • +2

        No the difference is you lose out on cash flow. Credit card you just pay before due date no interest. This debit card takes your money right away no question asked

        • +1

          There's also the security of the bank being more willing to help you if their money got scammed versus your own. Plus the other benefits like insurance.

        • No the difference is you lose out on cash flow. Credit card you just pay before due date no interest. This debit card takes your money right away no question asked

          Yes, the poison you replied to said the same thing.

          Just paying it before rather than later.

          And by paying before rather than later you get 2% cashback

    • Can't bring myself to use a debit card.

      Why?

      With high cost living raising and more restaurants/shops adding 1-1.5% CC surcharges, this HSBC has make more bearable with daily spending.

      I'm only switch to CC when have to pay more than $100.

      • That's actually a really good point about CC surcharges! I've never even considered that before.

        I use a credit card like a debit card for all the obvious benefits. Only spend what I need. Pay it off in full every month and save on the interest.

        I just don't like the idea of money being taken out my account instantly without a chance to appeal or find out it was a scam.
