No, would have to buy a whole new set of cookware for starters, and I love my gas cooktop and unlimited hot water. Also no real worry about…

A good home loan rate OR a good stove, I can't choose. (;_; )

Think my employer is part of it, but the Mazda 3, which I've been eying on and off for 5 years to replace my crumbling 2002 Commodore VX,…

Summer is hot and humid sure, but still fun to travel, lots of festivals on that one can only see in the summer months.

Have been in summer a few times myself, yes it's hot and humid, but the festivals are great fun. The Yosakoi in Kochi especially is great…

Layover + a non-direct route though. Much better airline of course, just depends how much you value your time I suppose. Personally as I…

Either a JR pass (if traveling at a decent pace), a regional pass that allows you to ride the Shinkansen in a certain area (e.g. Hokuriku…

Interesting, might be a bug but liable to have cashback rejected I'd worry.

In fairness, the cashback should still apply at the same rate you booked it as if you're just changing dates/etc.

No spiking, but I've discovered that (for Japan at least) googling the hotel and selecting dates via Google, then clicking through to…

I bought a friend a bottle of the Hibiki 21 Fuji Limited edition for $600~ or so from Narita duty free 10 years ago, wait till you see what…

If your long-haul is to a super remote location sure, get extra protection. But $2K should cover one-way economy to Europe/Asia/America…

Usually if it's a pay at hotel, it'll require a CC to reserve the booking. If you pay online, it'll let you use debit generally.

You can get the 17% bonus with any card, the extra 10% is via the banks listed (so 27% total if you hold one of their cards).

In the past have had them show up within 45~ mins, been 1.5 hours now though and nothing yet... Edit: Just showed up after 2 hours or so.

許されません。日本語が読めれば、日航か全日空だけで来日する義務があるぞ。

Airline economics will always be a mystery to me, not sure how Singapore Airlines can regularly almost be matching Jetstar pricing now…

Damn, Jetstar-tier pricing on Singapore, what a time to be alive. Shame it's all via SIN though of course, (though great if you want to…

Damn, pretty tempting investment rates. Only worry is obviously giving all your personal details to a what is a CCP state-owned entity...

>Jetstar There's your problem. But usually one can use hotel spend/other prepaid costs/etc also to meet the cap. There's generally always…

Floating petri dishes probably don't have great profit margins.

Part of being a good businessman is always knowing when to offload an asset.

I've read the PDS each time, and besides not covering COVID for a while (which basically all now do), there is never usually anything…

Of course, but generally one should only sign up to a CC with the annual fee either free or offset by sign-up bonuses, and cancel it before…
