Looks like all the merchants are in Sydney's inner East. Roughly speaking, its an area from Vaucluse to Maroubra to Surry Hills.

It can be easy to forget that many of these companies pay lots of tax - just maybe not much income tax on profits. Payroll tax is usually around 5% so if the business is labour intensive (retail, services, hospitality is often >20% of sales) then it can be a significant tax on profits. Similarly...

After a weekend spent watching the Dubai Rugby Sevens (despite the poor quality Foxtel Go feed while travelling) I've gotten excited about the 2017 series and am thinking about tickets to the Hong Kong Sevens in 2017. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to get tickets? I'm not a fan of...

14/15. Damn #14 was my undoing. Thanks for the post.

Head of finance for a company in the leisure/entertainment industry.

Re: What does a credit card transation actually cost? I work for a company the processes a few hundred million through merchant facilities each year and know the merchant fee structure very well. We see a range from under 0.5% for Visa/MC to 1.25% Paypal and 1.65% AMEX. We do online and...

I agree. The overnighter on the way back doesn't afford more than 5 or 6 hours sleep usually and thats only possible if you decline the meal service.

In mid April I had 7 business days (11 total days) for an EFT payment. I realise that this isn't credit card, however I only ever opt for EFT Transfer. Interestingly, the EFT transfer came from "Global Blue GST Refund". I'm fairly sure Global Blue is a company that provides GST refunds in...

It's an area that Velocity is streets ahead of QFF on thanks to family pooling!

I've stayed at both The Morrison and The Conrad. The Morrison is in a great location, has a great vibe and the rooms are quite modern. The Conrad was in an ok spot, but a little bit removed from the action. I disliked how dated the facilities were. While the staff were great (and the breakfast...

My vote is for TripIT. With a special mention to Google Inbox (inbox.google.com for those that haven't used it) for it's automatic flight grouping. I don't give it access to me email account - instead I just forward all travel emails to [email protected] and it works fine. I linke my account...

Re: HHonors Promotions That IS good! Ok, so Conrad is included. Now I've just got to hope the Koh Samui guys get their pricing updated.

Re: HHonors Promotions I've been trying to see what loads for Conrad Koh Samui. It just occurred to me that the sale probably doesn't apply to Conrad properties. I'll sit here patiently hoping I'm wrong.

I'll add a +1 to VyprVPN. Have used it for many years and always been very happy.

Hi All. After enjoying a great weekend at the Rugby Sevens in Sydney, I've decided to plan an upcoming SIN trip so that it coincides with the Singapore leg of the Rugby Sevens tour. Does anyone have tips/advice for watching matches at the National Stadium in Singapore? Rugby Sevens tournaments...

+1 from me too. Its a good Australian focused resource.

*bragging* I managed to secure priority boarding at the Sydney Premiere. And the "ticket" was a bronze (!?) medal. Cool night. Great film. Awesome on the big screen.

Thanks for the post. I jumped on the offer and am looking forward to the delivery :)

For those on Android, Google have recently updated their Google Fit app. The update is a HUGE improvement on the previous version and it now does a pretty good job of tracking activity throughout the day. Then, when you run (or a heap of other activities) you can get it to monitor even closer...
