USB-C is just the plug type. You can get adapter cable for it. What's important is it's USB 3.0 (SS).

ProspectiveDarkness on ApplePay/AndroidPay - ANZ Has It, Bring The Other Major Banks on Board!

[@Lion007](/comment/3889693/redir): this is incorrect. When I turn on the tap and pay on Commbank app it issues a "token card" with a…

It is 64% effectively. Because you're paying Div293 from your post tax income. That extra 1$ only end up being 0.36$, which is what…

[@fredblogs](/comment/3679252/redir): Low tax contributions = 25000$ Amount above 250,000 (new, proposed) threshold = 250,001$ - 250,000$ =…

[@fredblogs](/comment/3679196/redir): No. Your +1$ of income pushes your income+super beyond the 250k bar. See the ATO page on how div293…

Actually the calculation was a bit off, it's higher than I thought. E.g. (in the new world). The poor dude earning 225k and 25k super (for…

I guess we can say it's like she found one giant fully loaded wallet on the street. Theft by finding?

Sometimes forgotten is the Div293 extra super contribution tax and super contribution tax beyond the 30k cap (new cap is 25k). By my…

the visa costs north of 100$ though, so it kinda defeats the deal. in the past NZ immigration has had a "promotion" period where they allow…

It seems that with 2 days left (promo runs until tomorrow?) most of the interesting items have disappeared from the listing (probably out…

Consensus opinion is that the call center quality has dropped significantly in the recent months. You're not alone.

GalaxyNexus commented on Jetstar Ruined My Christmas, What Can I Do?
Minimum connection time in SIN on a check-thru basis (on SQ/MI) is 45 minutes, so Jetstar should be somewhere similar. If it's not…

Use ANZ card (only need to spend 250$ to commence coverage) or commbank card (only need to declare your travel online).

I believe you can only use one voucher at a time. They can't be stacked.

Use the multicity booking tool. It's on the web site.

GalaxyNexus commented on QANTAS Moon Festival Sale: Hong Kong/Singapore Return Bris/Syd/Melb/Adel $738 [Shanghai $788]
Remember, if you use an Amex card to pay, you can get extra 50$ off. And if you buy Qantas voucher before buying the ticket, you can get CC…

As a general precaution you should redeem all the points before closing the account. E.g. transfer to krisflyer or velocity.

GalaxyNexus commented on Ideas to withdraw from positive balance credit card with minimal cash advance fee?
If you have a tax bill, use it to pay your tax :D Or balance-transfer to other transaction-account-linked CCs.

Previous promo I think about 10-20% of packages arrived weeks later, due to the crappy click-and-collect arrangement. Technically if you…

If I use 50$ voucher from the previous (disastrous) promotion, do I get a new 50$ voucher?
