    Getting a petrol offer = prices going to skyrocket

    Have you noticed that when you get a targeted petrol offer from Velocity/BP or FlyBuys/Shell, first thing that happens is the petrol prices skyrocket ( from $1.15 to $1.55 per litre ). If I desperately need to buy petrol during a high price period I obviously only put a small amount in. At the...

    I used to rack up the points when they were William Hill, but not since they have become Bet Easy. Bet Easy only seem to do promotions which give you bonus bets, not bonus rewards points.

    Anyone trying to score big (Bet Easy) points in state election

    The seat of Brighton should have been a sure bet. Safe Liberal seat for decades, Labor candidate was a 19 yo who hasn't even got a licence. If I had have put $200,000 on Liberal I don't think I would have slept last night and I would still be quite nervous.

    Private car park 'fines', could ignoring them eventually affect your credit rating

    The subject of these "pretend" parking fines came up in a local FB page, it ended up getting over 50 replies. What I'm curious about is if they somehow find out your personal details and you still don't pay, can they then be spiteful and report you as not paying a debt and then have it put on...

    Private car park 'fines', could ignoring them eventually affect your credit rating

    I'm not referring to places where it is boom gated and you pay on departure. I'm referring to car parks that have pre=pay ticket machines or just private shopping centre car parks that want their parking limits enforced. Companies such as Care Park, Ace Parking, Secure Parking etc. Some have...

    MEL virgin australia valet parking

    If you can get an online deal only ten dollars more definitely worth it. You drop your car off right next to the end of the footbridge. Finding a space in the short term car park can take ages of driving around in circles and can also be quite a long walk. In the case of Virgin you could almost...
