I use these Baseus cables with my 65W GaN charger for my laptop, works fine. It should be fine with any decent PD USB C GaN charger.

I suggest checking when the award seats open and redeem shortly after they open (e.g. 360 days before date of flight). That's the only way…

Microsoft has the best price. In January, they bundled Bose headphones with the laptop that you could easily resell. $2,300 + RRP $500 Bose…

I just missed a sale last weekend. Hopefully they offer it again soon. Microsoft were offering Bose QC3, worth $400 AUD, for free with the…

See the two guides I posted above. There're a lot of routes!

I usually do a multileg trip to Raratonga with the SO. I turn it into a short holiday and stay for 5-7 nights. I'm aiming to gift Platinum…

Perfect for a status run, this should net about 1,000+ SC on the trip I had planned :D

Thanks, just found it in the conditions :D

I tried BNE > SYD business return this morning and it was $898. Tonight the price is $813 (-10% off). Anyone find any flights that are 30%…

"We ran into problems." Has anyone been able to make this coupon work recently?

$118 for 5,333 points is really not worth it. That's 2.2c / point you're paying. You can buy Velocity points off ozbargainers at 1-1.3c /…

[@cloudie9](/comment/5256894/redir): Just call around to different HN stores. Some reps are very flexible. When I went in recently, they…

[@cloudie9](/comment/5256834/redir): If you can find a good rep they will do it for you in person. It helps if you have purchased several…

[@Sir King Nameless](/comment/5256493/redir): Yes I can confirm you can price match and get HN $100 card. Works out to $651 for Playbar or…

Not much of a deal. The recent Myer price was decent. eGift 5% > Myer gift card bonus = $776 for sub or playbar (with free postage or pick…

[@SaberX](/comment/5117231/redir): Yes, I had the Charge and Plat confused! The Edge card is the one to get. There's a whole thread on the…

I'll reply twice as you have a couple of other questions here. People buy points because it is good value. You can buy them at 1c/point and…

Platinum converts from Amex to Asia Miles/Qantas/Kris Flyer at 1:1. Explorer converts at 1:0.75 and doesn't have Qantas as an option.…

I'm getting about 3-5c/point value using them on business class tickets. The ticket outright is about $4,000-$5,000 (accounting for taxes)…

If you fly to mainly Asian countries Asia Miles is quite good. You can credit the miles to most airlines FF programs that are partnered…

Yes, if you can get a good salesperson. Call up before you go to confirm the price match and EFTPOS card before you go in :) When you go to…

Just purchased a SONOS Playbar for $745. Great price. - HN list price $995 - Price match to Videopro $895 (you could probably haggle this…

Sorry, forgot to include the second Europe trip. Should be 55-60k earned in points for those flights, so a decent economy flight to Asia.

You don't really need a credit card to collect frequent flyer points. Just make sure you sign up to the relevant program when you are…

I worked out I don't spend much on groceries so the Amex Explorer works out better for my circumstances. Got about 150k Amex points after a…

1 x SYD to SIN Round-trip Economy Saver Award ticket = 50000 Krisflyer miles
