jrvb42 commented on [QLD] $500 Rebate on E-Bike, $200 Rebate on E-Scooter @ Queensland Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy
As an election bribe, it is not easily attainable. I'll pass. If genuine, far more environmental benefit could be attained using AI to…
jrvb42 replied to noshopping on [QLD] $500 Rebate on E-Bike, $200 Rebate on E-Scooter @ Queensland Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy
The only thing governments introduce that are permanent are taxes and levies. Rebates and discounts are rarely permanent.
jrvb42 replied to AustriaBargain on [QLD] $500 Rebate on E-Bike, $200 Rebate on E-Scooter @ Queensland Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy
Aren't there enough problems with weight now? Encouraging lazy forms of transport might not be a clever idea. But then, it's not about the…
Can't you help yourself to sauces in store?
jrvb42 commented on 10 Days China Tour from SYD/MEL $888 Per Person Twin Share ($500 Solo Surcharge) @ TripADeal
Same, or similar, deal to last year. Pro: price has dropped from $999 (with good reason IMHO) Cons: cannot choose to fly in early or leave…
jrvb42 replied to Pcoder on 28 Degrees Mastercard - $0 Monthly Fee for 12 Months (Normally $8 Per Month) @ Latitude Financial
They kind of did implicitly have a minimum spend to keep it free. Remember, if you spend $1k per month, you get a $10 gift card, which more…
I was going to cancel, but was a bit slack about it. This morning, without prompting, got an email saying they are waiving the fee for 12…
jrvb42 replied to greennick on Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Card: 60,000 Points with $1,500 Spend Each Month for 2 Months, $129 Flight Voucher, $74 1st Year Fee
Hmm. I wasn't told why regarding my rejection at Bendigo. Certainly not in writing. Although they said someone would be in touch.
jrvb42 replied to HeWhoKnows on ½ Price Much Moore Premium Ice Cream 2L Varieties $5.50 @ Woolworths
Used to buy heaps of Bulla Creamy Classics - but since the price has gone from $3.75 to $5.50 it's not been on my shopping list. Judging…
jrvb42 replied to SpeedRunnerLink on Hainan Airlines Rtn MEL/SYD: Shanghai $464/$480, Beijing $464/$480, Shenzhen $454/$472, Guangzhou $454/$472 & Many More @ BTF
That's my experience. I didn't like the city.
jrvb42 replied to tpenthouse on Spend $50 Minimum 4 Times at Coles, Get $30 Cashback @ Commbank Yello (Activation Required)
Have you tried activating but not meeting the spent x offer a couple of times? That seems to make it come back down - works for me but ymmv.
jrvb42 replied to brotherfranciz on Spend Target Amount in 1 Transaction for 4 Consecutive Weeks at Coles, Get 10000 Flybuys Points or $50 off @ Flybuys
I'm in the same boat, but find it's a chance to buy irregular items, such as oil, laundry powder, etc at what amounts to a 25% discount.…
Nice idea, but Bendigo application process is problematic, tiresome, restrictive and arduous. I tried, and got rejected, after a lot of…
Very generous, considering the cause of Rex' demise was likely dirty pool by other airlines. If these were people instead of companies,…
I agree. But my comment was heavily sarcastic. Hoped it would come out in the wording :)
Are you basing this opinion on a legal definition, or just on wording semantics? We're dealing with tax law here, not English semantics.…
Oh, dead set Cobram is getting the money. Absolutely. I also note that milk producers are entering the billionaires list, solely as a…
Yes, but if you're doing 4 x $50 weekly shops for 10000 points (worth $50), this will satisfy one of the weeks. That makes a 25% discount…
jrvb42 commented on China Eastern Airlines Return: MEL/SYD to Xi'an (Direct) $490/$496, Beijing $528/$554, Wuhan $520/$591 & More (Indirect) @ BTF
Not bad, and Xi'an is a fab city. Holding out for another deal around $400 return. Thanks OP.
jrvb42 replied to HeWhoKnows on Bendigo Bank - Ready Credit Card - $0 Annual Fee, 0% International Fee, Travel Insurance
Definitely do that - I'd go HSBC Premier if I could qualify - enjoy! (I'd also go Bendigo anyway, but looks like I don't qualify! In fact,…
Unless I'm mistaken, cashews have not increased in price since before covid. How is it possible that so much primary produce has increased…
jrvb42 replied to gromit on $15 Cashback with $100 Spend in One or More Transactions at Amazon AU (Activation Required) @ CommBank Yello
Like others who've commented, I don't get anything useful from yello. Tempted to stop jumping thru the hoops to activate it each month.…
jrvb42 replied to HeWhoKnows on Bendigo Bank - Ready Credit Card - $0 Annual Fee, 0% International Fee, Travel Insurance
Also my experience.
jrvb42 replied to U30004 on nbn 25/10Mbps $39/Month for 6 Months (New Customers Only, Ongoing $57.90/Month) @ Flip Connect
Yes, because the data signal interferes with the flow of electrical power to the train. Jeez, its not rocket science. :)
jrvb42 replied to flywire on Bendigo Bank - Ready Credit Card - $0 Annual Fee, 0% International Fee, Travel Insurance
That should be fine. It's the programming error not to allow spaces that seems to be the problem.
I regularly use trip.com now. Get flight updates and good service so far. Not all 3rd parties are created equal.
jrvb42 commented on Bendigo Bank - Ready Credit Card - $0 Annual Fee, 0% International Fee, Travel Insurance
Sadly, an application system so restrictive and brain-dead, that those with 2 middle names cannot apply online, as their online ID check…

Unbelievable. Thanks OP. And Singapore Airlines no less! BTW, just returned home from the Hainan Airlines deal. Supposedly a 5 star airline…
jrvb42 commented on Fisher & Paykel 8kg Front Load Washing Machine $589 Delivered to Most Areas @ Appliances Online
Just beware that F&P will want around $400 if the main board goes on their washers. Happened to me. Not replacing a $20 component for $400.…
jrvb42 commented on Vodafone 240GB 1-Year Prepaid Starter Pack $149 (Was $250) + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ in-Store/ C&C/ OnePass) @ Officeworks
Kogan uses Voda, so just pay $1 more and get 500GB for 12 months. Not seeing any value in this deal.
