 <link>https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/495042</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<div style="float:right;margin:0 0 1ex 1ex"><a href="/node/495042" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Link: https://www.powershop.com.au/"><img src="https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/42/495042.jpg?h=395e9a3f" alt="$150 Credit When You Switch to Powershop Electricity, $200 for Both Electricity and Gas (Referral Only)"/></a></div><p>Got an email today about increased referral rewards:</p>

 <title>eBay Replacement Battery Lower Capacity than Advertised</title>
 <link>https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/489978</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<p>In a true ozbargain spirit, I ordered a replacement battery for my phone on eBay instead of replacing my phone. The battery was advertised as 3000mAh, however the actual capacity is closer to 2300mAh. The caveat is that this is measured by Accubattery app so it won&#039;t be the most accurate reading. The battery is in my phone now and I managed to damage the old battery when removing it so I am sort of stuck with the new battery. I contacted the seller and they offered A$5 refund so my question is - has anyone had better luck getting a refund for battery capacity being lower than advertised via ebay/paypal dispute?</p>

<p>Also - where does one buy decent batteries these days that live up to the capacity advertised?</p>

 <title>[NSW] No Gap Fee ($0) on Check-Ups, Teeth Cleaning, X-Rays and Fillings @ No Gaps Dental Sydney</title>
 <link>https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/300604</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<div style="float:right;margin:0 0 1ex 1ex"><a href="/node/300604" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Link: https://www.nogapsdental.com/benefits/"><img src="https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/04/300604.jpg?h=79ec951f" alt="[NSW] No Gap Fee ($0) on Check-Ups, Teeth Cleaning, X-Rays and Fillings @ No Gaps Dental Sydney"/></a></div><p>This is not really a new deal as such but more people should know about this. No Gaps Dental offers no out-of-pocket expenses with any Australian Health fund for common dental treatments including check-ups, teeth cleaning, x-rays and fillings too! As far as I know, this is the only dentist in Sydney that does no gaps fillings. They have more than 10 locations in Sydney.</p>

<p>If you currently don&#039;t have a dental extras cover and need a filling that&#039;s not urgent, it is worth taking out one of the standard extras covers, most of which have a 2 month waiting period. For example, <a href="https://www.hcf.com.au/insurance/health/get-a-quote/bronze-extras" class="external inline" rel="noopener nofollow">HCF Bronze Extras</a> starts from $15.35 (excluding Australian Government Rebate) a month ($350 annual dental limit) or, if you want a higher annual limit, consider <a href="https://www.gmhba.com.au/health-insurance/" class="external inline" rel="noopener nofollow">GMHBA Bronze Extras Set Benefits</a> for $24.25 a month ($1000 annual dental limit).</p>

<p>If you need one urgently, <a href="https://ahm.com.au/health-insurance/lifestyle-extras" class="external inline" rel="noopener nofollow">Ahm lifestyle extras cover</a>for $66.05 a month ($500 annual dental limit) currently offers no waiting period on routine dental, including fillings. Alternatively, many funds offer no waiting period when you take out both extras and hospital cover.</p>

<p>I myself had a couple of fillings and an xray (edit: at my request) done at No Gaps Dental recently and was very satisfied with the experience. The practice was well equipped and the dentist was friendly and professional. The billing was fairly easy too, just make sure to bring your insurance card and make sure that you haven&#039;t reached your annual limits. After everything was done, my bill was about $800. They swiped my insurance card and the dental cover paid over $250 and the rest was waived under their no gaps guarantee.</p>

<p>Judging by the <a href="https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/dentists-and-dental-care/dental-treatment/articles/dental-fees" class="external inline" rel="noopener nofollow">annual dental fee survey</a> the exact same treatment would have cost in over $450 at the &quot;cheapest dental practice&quot;, meaning that I would have to pay over $200 gap payment. And I would have to find that &quot;cheapest dental practice&quot; somehow. If we go by the average prices from the same survey, the total would have been over $600 and my gap payment would have been more than $350. Needless to say I am quite happy I did not have to pay that.</p>

<p>Hope this helps someone.</p>

<p>Edit: there seems to be a similar no gaps fillings included dentist in Melbourne, but I have no experience with them: <a href="http://www.dentalguard.com.au/" class="external" rel="noopener nofollow">http://www.dentalguard.com.au/</a></p>

 <title>Has Anyone Used QuietGrowth Investments?</title>
 <link>https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/298421</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<p>I was looking into Acorns to invest 5 - 10k but then I stumbled upon QuietGrowth (quietgrowth.com.au) which has lower fees (as long as the investment value is A$&lt;10k) and their aggressive portfolio has somewhat less Australia exposure when compared to Acorns which I prefer. Yet, it seems that QuietGrowth is not well known and them having an investment management team of 1 doesn&#039;t really make it sound like a serious company. Has anybody used them? Also, does anyone know what happens if QuietGrowth (or Acorns for that matter) go bankrupt? I assume that the platform gets closed down but I get to keep our ETFs etc as those are bought in my name?</p>

 <title>NEXBOX A95X Smart TV Box 2GB RAM+8GB ROM Amlogic S905X US $33.14 ~ AU $44 Delivered @ AliExpress</title>

Seller has more than 4.5k orders and 4.8/5 feedback rating. You can also upgrade from 8GB ROM to 16GB ROM, bringing the total to ~AU $52 delivered. The wireless keyboard is decent value as well. Don&#039;t forget cashback (11.11% on cashrewards), and it also appears that there&#039;s a store coupon giving you another dollar off, just click on the coupon just under the &quot;Buy it now&quot; button. I just ordered the 16 GB version with the keyboard, if the cashback goes through my total after the cashback and coupon will be round ~AU $54. The only downside is the lack of AU plug.. I&#039;ve got a couple of <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/US-EU-to-AU-AC-Power-Plug-Travel-Converter-Adapter-Wholesales-01MZ-4O5V/32598106481.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.XvIIrg" class="external inline" rel="noopener nofollow">these adapters</a> for US $0.31 AU $0.41 each delivered.</p>

<p>Also, LibreELEC developmental firmware is available for this, offering better performance and reliability.
