Red energy has a 12 month waiting period.

Rates are a win for me, I’ve joined and it confirmed both the VA points and $150 bill credit, great offer (Vic here).

Does anyone else constantly get surveys about drinking habits? As in alcohol? I do regularly, depending on when I answer them depends on the outcome. I got one today, and screened out because I hadn't drank alcohol on Monday or Tuesday (it always asks for the last two days)! Usually I "have"...

Don't worry, I got the same and I do drive, just had to answer a bunch of questions first before being screened out :mad:😂 So when my OH got it, I just said select don't drive, wouldn't take a road trip in NSW, screened out straight away, nice and easy haha.

I have to keep a list of them to tell me which is for which account when it comes to Amex! Not a list of the passwords (hopefully obviously haha) though, but I couldn't remember them without Apple's password manager.

I think they will, it's been around for as long as I can remember, although a lot of CSA's are a bit confused about what you're asking for sometimes. I most recently moved a couple of hundred thou from UK-US and the exchange rate is depressing, but 1:1 on both means it's still a win (UK is 3:2...

No worries, and good call pointing that out, it's easy to end up with things getting shut down because people do things like calling up the company in question and asking outright, or it just gets so heavily abused it can no longer be overlooked.

How does one go about getting the Amex US Biz cards? Do they require a registered US business? Everyone in the US seems to go on about them (and with good reason!) but I'd always assumed they had some sort of registered business/loophole that made them eligible. Australia's business cards...

Yes - in fact you can use the US cards to pay most of the Aussie bills which have exclusions over here (like Government payments, certain utilities, car rego, ATO, etc.) and they're treated like any normal purchase.

Not sure about NZ, but the app (T-Mobile Prepaid eSIM, by the developer T-Mobile US) is available on the AU App Store. Apple is annoying like that, this one is ok, but other apps I've had to create new country based Apple IDs for the purpose of this (you can switch your existing one around...

I typed up for a few friends in a Discord I'm part of, I was going to drop it here but am in two minds about posting this, not because I don't want to help others, but more because this is an open forum and posting easy routes to things tends to get them killed, happy to DM it though (on the...

Re the T-Mobile SIM and US iTunes account, you don't need to do that from the US. Also if it's just an Amex you want, you don't need tos et foot in the US, so if it's just that you're planning to do, I wouldn't waste your time. For a bank account use Transferwise (I just can't get my head around...

BA has triggered it, I haven't tried the LCCs, but don't see why they wouldn't - anything that codes as airline?

This makes sense, my second is less than 12 months old (although first is older), so maybe I was being impatient. Being approved for the third definitely won't help me in that case, so I think I'll give it a rest for now (plus I'm approaching the end of the waiting window for some Aussie cards...

That's great! I've tried some of the NLL links before, but they've always required Nova using ITIN/SSN, so when I saw the checkbox allowing other forms of ID the dopamine rush was real 🤣
