ol mate replied to Nachotroncoso on Collect 20,000 Everyday Rewards Points ($100) with New NBN & OptiComm Services @ Origin
That's a real shame, as Origin was one of the cheapest ways to get an ABB connection. I've always rated it as (in my experience): ABB > SL…

Is this still a white label ABB product, or have they changed provider?
ol mate replied to quazimoto on ANZ Rewards Platinum Credit Card: 70,000 Velocity Points with $2000 Spend in 3 Months, $149 Annual Fee @ ANZ
Try contacting ANZ *rewards* as opposed to ANZ *bank*. It might be something they look after instead of the bank.
Wonder how many warranty claims they blame on "wear and tear"

ol mate commented on [QLD] 40kW Solar System from $18,000 DMEGC 440W / Growatt Inverter @ Queensland Solar and Lighting
Have you actually been able to get grid approval for something this size from Energex or Ergon? I assume they’d impose a 5kw export limit…
ol mate replied to AircraftFreight on Delta Airlines Return to Los Angeles: Brisbane fr $810 (Direct, Feb-Mar 2025, 23kg bag, IFE, meals incl) @ flightfinderau
Don't know why you've gotten downvotes for this. The Qld Govt has put in $100m of subsidies for 2022-25 for attracting new aviation markets…
ol mate replied to Mondorock on Delta Airlines Return to Los Angeles: Brisbane fr $810 (Direct, Feb-Mar 2025, 23kg bag, IFE, meals incl) @ flightfinderau
You haven't taken into account the Qld Govt subsidies on this route (which are commercial-in-confidence, unfortunately).
They used to be cheapest for me for a while but seem to have changed - I had 3 cars with them at one stage, but will only have one after my…
I’ve claimed on AusPost before. It’s essentially a white label QBE policy - call centre, preferred repairer list, etc. is all QBE. I…
I'm using this OS atm, can confirm it is the Visa rate.
ol mate commented on 5G Home Internet Unlimited Data (100/20) $54.99/Month for 6 Months ($64.99/Month Ongoing), Modem Included @ TPG
I had this in South Brisbane (Telstra Velocity area - wasn't going to pay $120/mth for a 50/20 connection), and was easily clocking 160…
ol mate replied to MauTauAja on 5G Home Internet Unlimited Data (100/20) $54.99/Month for 6 Months ($64.99/Month Ongoing), Modem Included @ TPG
It should be exactly the same - provided on the same network, with the same hardware by the same people.
ol mate commented on [QLD] $10 off (Min Spend $10) + Free Pillow for First 100 Customer @ Spotlight, Macgregor
To save a click, the new centre is on Kessels Road, where the new HN and Domayne is (across the road from TGG/SCA/DTMR/etc)

I thought there was some rule about not being able to claim STCs on replacement panels (not 100% sure on the ins/outs though)
ol mate replied to Tock on Qantas AmEx Ultimate Card: 100,000 Qantas Points (with $3000 Spend in 3 Months), $450 Q. Flight Credit, $450 Annual Fee @ Qantas
Yep, the "we'll let you know" is a rejection coming via snail mail. They'll ask for payslips, etc. straight away if approved.
ol mate commented on 40% off Daily Rates & One-Way Fee Waived on 4WD Safari Camper Bookings from ASP/BME/CNS/DRW to BNE/MEL @ Aussie Campervans
Misleading title. Needs to be something like "one way fee waived" For people wanting real relocation deals…

ol mate replied to try2bhelpful on Europcar NZ Claiming We Did Not Return Ford Ranger with Full Bars of Fuel
Apparently the refund for extra fuel thing is what's *supposedly* policy, but rarely does because it involves them being ethical and honest.
Just cancelled my account today because of the new fee. Got a pro-rata'ed refund based on months.
ol mate replied to HeWhoKnows on Europcar NZ Claiming We Did Not Return Ford Ranger with Full Bars of Fuel
Just beware that doing this will likely lead to being put on the Do-Not-Rent list for Europcar (which mightn't be the worse thing, tbh).
ol mate replied to mxlmxlmxl on Citi Prestige Qantas Credit Card: 150,000 Bonus Qantas Points ($7,500 Spend in 2 Months), $749 Annual Fee
I think the paid PP membership is US$469, and doesn’t include guests - the one that comes with this card includes a guest as well.
