Flutterby on Register & Earn Double Qantas Point or Status Credit on Qantas Flight, Hotel, Holiday (for use 19/3/2025 - 24/2/2026) @ Qantas

I've had some excellent crews recently. I did a business class redemption to Singapore and the crew could not be more helpful and were very…

Pcoder commented on 1-Year Free DC Charging (330kWh Cap) with Purchase of New/Demo BYD (Excludes Sealion 7) @ BYD Automotive
I've revoked my positive vote as they've now reworded it as the initial wording didn't suggested a limit unless you checked down below. Its…

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…

themadman on CBA Ultimate Awards Card: Spend $3000/M for 25k/M Awards Pts (or 17.5k/M QFF Pts $90 1Yr Fee) for 4Mo, $0/M Fee with $4k/M Spend

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.

Pcoder commented on Qantas Direct Return to Tokyo: Sydney from $918, Melbourne from $928, Brisbane from $931@ flightfinderau
This is probably the best deal in a while where a domestic connection is required (ie flights from ADL, CBR and HBA) as the prices are at…

The reason why they are unrated is more to do with bureaucracy then never being tested. Most of the time the unrated cars are due to it's…
