I'm moving into my first rental here soon, QLD, and apart from using the comparison websites to look for the cheaper utility provers, I wondered if there are any other good tips or tricks or OzBargain references that will get good cashback rates or referral bonuses etc?

Looking for power and internet initially.

Thanks!

  Will you be living near any public BBQs?

  Rent a place with a six star rating.

  Make sure it has splits.

  For NBN, try the cheapest tier first. All resellers are clever marketers trying to lure you to the mid-range option.
