jv on Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD $4,420 (Save $2,979) Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ Hampton MowerCentre

Looks like a fanboy creation. Think your thing only exists in renders. It's also dated from 2020.

punkel on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch 2 Console $679.99, Switch 2 + Mario Kart World $749.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required)

Simple fact it's down from 699 to 679.99 and 769 to 749.99. It doesn't mean you have to upvote it, but you should downvote it either.

whyisave on Book Accommodation with Green Badge on Booking.com via Visa.com.au & Pay with Visa Card, Get up to 10% Back as Wallet Credit

Yeah the only value if you want something now and nothing is around. The big issue is we don't know how reliable they are at the cashback…

Considering all the 10%+ cashbacks provided by Cashrewards, et cetera, I don't see as much value here. If they gave 10% off, it would be…

Website says its the United Kingdom version. Our Australian cards work differently.

Since Virgin has gone through a process of enshittification with its status, this might be a good option for people who were Virgin Gold…

adrian2093 on 1-Year Free DC Charging (330kWh Cap) with Purchase of New/Demo BYD (Excludes Sealion 7) @ BYD Automotive

They go upto 350kw, that's why its plausible they have a cap of 330kw. Even for moderate use, you'd reach the cap in about 5 recharges,…

adrian2093 on 1-Year Free DC Charging (330kWh Cap) with Purchase of New/Demo BYD (Excludes Sealion 7) @ BYD Automotive

Could also be the cap of the charging speed, just that they have expressed it as KWh rather than KW (typo). 330 KW sounds like the maximum…

Westpac is $6,000 for 90,000 QFF, ANZ is $5,000 for 90,000 QFF. Just very poor value compared to others. Fee also seems large at $35/month…

$12,000 spend for only 70,000 QFF or Equivalent of 50,000 VFF. Not a deal

Not really that much of a deal, considering say for Japan; Esim database (https://esimdb.com/) has plenty of providers who have 1gb for…

Pcoder commented on 1.99% p.a. Interest Rate (2.99% p.a. CR) on Tesla Model 3 RWD and Long Range AWD Finance Purchase @ Tesla
Not a bargain, old model, likely to drop 10,000 on leaving lot. Low interest rate not enough.
