Fuzor on Qantas AmEx Ultimate: 100,000 Qantas Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $450 Annual Fee

You can't book with points on Amex's portal. But you can book, cancel by 11:59 PM and ergo have the pending charge cancelled within a week…

Where's the confusion? You pay for the full fare, but a $450 credit will show up on your statement yeah. And if doing the cancellation…

LaughD1eme on Qantas AmEx Ultimate: 100,000 Qantas Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $450 Annual Fee

Yes, the T&C's state no refunds, but as long as it's cancelled by 11:59PM same day they do actually refund (the popup when cancelling will…

RecklessMonkeys on Starlink Standard Satellite Internet Kit $349 (Regional Areas Only, Residential Plans from $99) + $34 Delivery @ Starlink

>US could cut Ukraine's access Yes, the US. The DoD uses Starshield now which it fully controls, not SpaceX.

GS9891 commented on Starlink Standard Satellite Internet Kit $349 (Regional Areas Only, Residential Plans from $99) + $34 Delivery @ Starlink
Starlink is a game-changer for myself and my work which does a lot of regional jobs, no other sat service we used in the previous years…

More likely both track at 8% with the issues those who have tried this US-based deal are reporting.

Guess it was too good to be true. @_@

Unless shipping to a US address there's also the below which was posted above that I'd be wary of + the recent Ali reviews on the TCB US…

JanKlaasHoentelaar on AliExpress: 48% Cashback (New AliExpress Customers) @ TopCashback US

Ouch, yeah reading them now, guess it really is too good to be true to expect $1000 off on a $2000 item or the such.

easternculture on AliExpress: 48% Cashback (New AliExpress Customers) @ TopCashback US

The anniversary sale is listed under 'Deals', so guess it's ostensibly safe then, but for big ticket items still feels too good to be true.

Was looking to get a Xiaomi 15 Ultra, currently $2,232 AUD ($2,455 with GST) on Ali, which theoretically would come down to $1,276 then.…

Same, for starters assume one would need a US bank account to even withdraw the cashback?

Referral offer ended March 11, they're better off just signing up without referral for the 100K now which ends March 18.

Damn, that's a nice case, makes me wish I still played games and had a reason to upgrade from my 2013 Fractal R4 with i5-3570K and HD 7970.

cheap4321 on Qantas AmEx Ultimate: 100,000 Qantas Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $450 Annual Fee

Yeah that's the one nice feature of the Amex travel portal, but the least they can do as all return flights seem to have a $100~ surcharge…

bargainfinder on Qantas AmEx Ultimate: 100,000 Qantas Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $450 Annual Fee

Can't see why it wouldn't. Seems to work for everyone at least in the first year, even before the fee is charged, so why not the second.…

ridgeydidgey on Qantas AmEx Ultimate: 100,000 Qantas Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Travel Credit, $450 Annual Fee

The same pop-up that mentions it's free when you start the cancellation process also mentions 11:59pm as the free refund cutoff.

Of course if one is purposely overspending just to meet a deal's spend requirements that's silly, but $3,000 - $6,000 over 3 - 4 months as…
