I had a similar requirement and also something less likely to pop off the wrist easily (as my band 5 standard band does sometimes). Found…

This is what the DND (Do not disturb) is for unless I am misunderstanding your requirement?

Happened to me too. Fortunately held off on buying any more gear before it was cancelled. Purchased 2:42 PM Monday. Cancelled yesterday.…

Thanks OP, ordered. Amazon offered free 30 days of Prime trial also (previously had a 30 day trial a year or so ago also).

LuckyDrew on ING Home Loans Interest Rates: 2.49% Owner Occupied, 2.74% Investor, with Fixed 3 Year Rate + 0.3% Bundle Rebate

If only it worked like that. If rates are going up (or looking like it) then fixed rates will be higher than variable. Banks don't like not…

Just my opinion, but lenders knew a rate decision was due (first Tuesday of EVERY month) and there are only 3 possible outcomes. The rate…

Thanks again for the feedback, very much appreciated.

OK thanks. I'll see what they say directly about new customers, but the lack of cuts for existing customers sucks. I'm leaning heavily…

Where are you seeing the discharge fee? on this page: https://www.reduceloans.com.au/home-loans/rate-lovers-variable/ there is a section…

good question, I'd like to know also please @rxjb

Only difference I can see is the setup cost. $1170 setup cost for the 2.69% rate Rate lovers option by comparison is $0 setup cost for…

monchee on 20-25% off Selected Stanley Fatmax: Brushless Drill Driver Kit $76.49, Impact Driver $52, Hammer Drill $57 Delivered @ Amazon AU

impact driver is just for driving screws (and is better at it than a drill driver) drill driver can drill holes as well as drive screws. So…

Absolutely it will be factored in and I would be shocked if this moved at all following an announcement either direction. Fixed rates…

30 day free trial for a bunch of full services. Unlimited time use of two databases and two VMs. I'd agree a 30 day trial isn't a deal, but…

An unlimited free tier to evaluate services cannot "cost you a lot more in the long run". There are valid reasons for not liking Oracle…

pharcyde on Dog Tennis Ball Gun Launcher with 2 Tennis Balls $14.30 (Was $21.99) + Post (Free with Prime/ $49+) @ AhaTechAus Amazon

not a bad concept, but performance is...underwhelming (assuming its the same product - which it looks like it is)…

exactly this. Whenever taking advice, particularly "free" advice, you always need to take into account the motivations of the advisor.

OzBrogains on Athena Home Loans: Variable Refinance Owner Occ P&I 3.09% (3.05% CR)

Very true. Although the lack of fees to withdraw and move on makes that less of a risk. If they jack the rates then you can move on to…

Averell on Athena Home Loans: Variable Refinance Owner Occ P&I 3.34% (3.30% CR), Investment IO 3.84% (3.74% CR)

Similar boat for me too. From what I can see the main reason not to is the lack of an offset account. The unlimited redraw without fee…
