Don't forget the ongoing savings rate is around 5%. You'd basically be lending money to Amazon.

Let's get the numbers right on this one. If you end up spending the stored amount after a year, it's effectively just 5% off considering…

Yes. I have a conference in the US in a week's time and another conference in Germany in the first week of Jan.

No. If I don't have to repay in the middle, I'm fairly certain I won't be allowed to make a second claim as DHA would certainly have…

From my understanding, TRS aren't interested in the invoice for the GST paid on the first return trip - they're only interested in the…

I suppose a similar kind to those ATO issue for PAYG instalments etc., except it uses the ABF header?

You bet I will. If repaying the GST refunded is a crime, there are bigger issues with the border system.

Got it. Appreciate your input.

If permitted, it could be a free partial contents insurance policy.

I've only been given a digital invoice though. I probably won't be getting waved through on return as I'll have it declared on the card.

AFAIK the item doesn't have to be new or sealed for it to be eligible. The purchase just has to be made within 60 days from departure.

I'm not prepared to close up shop.

But is it a duplicate if the GST refunded has already been paid back?

The extra premium will be $250. I'm not so willing to bet $250 on such relatively unlikely event, but I'd take it if it was free.

The value of the laptop exceeds the maximum value allowed on my policy ($4000) and the additional premium is around $200.

There wouldn't be a payout if the item is lost, since TRS isn't an insurance policy. I'd lose 10% less, however. If I were to take out a…

Yes, I appreciate that. But if it's permitted, it could effectively be a partial insurance policy with no premium.

It could help reduce my losses if it's lost on the trip.

Yes. I believe there's a $900 tax free threshold per person. My laptop will far exceed it though, and thus GST will be due each time it's…

The laptop is expensive and, if allowed, this approach would help reduce my losses if it's lost during travel.

Hi, I'm planning several overseas trips in the coming weeks and have recently purchased a new laptop. Does anyone know if the same item can…

I get that, but this deal is about booking with Qantas to earn bonus points. What I'm trying to say is that QFF points have been so…

Isn't 81k + $300 economy a terrible deal? A return ticket costs around $2,300, so 81k would only be worth $850. SQ only costs 58k + $115 to…

What's the point when the points themselves have been seriously devalued and can hardly be translated to rewards? "Classic Plus" all the…

Yes

5% (almost) risk free, why not? Cash is king fairly soon:…

Do their Savings account allow direct debt?

Anyone know if this account allows direct debits?
