    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    update on deft via beem it: registered and payment seemed to have worked despite giving a message at first to the effect of "debit card required for this payment" will update in a few days once transaction goes through edit: just realised it might have to wait until statement is generated to...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Will do boss! It appears to be in app only, no web account as far as I could tell. You'll have to bear with me for a few days while I navigate all these millennial-targeted tech innovations 😆

    I must have missed this one! Wondering if it would work with rent payments via DEFT?

    I second advice on the books. Head to Goondoon St, they had I think a couple Noel Whittaker's books. I've also borrowed Motivated Money by Peter Thornhill and JL Collins Simple path to wealth. Highly recommend both of those, especially the latter.

    Coles gift card offers

    I'm not exactly sure myself as it's beyond my IT abilities, but in the forum linked in my original post it appears to be a brute force - CVV is irrelevant, expiry is the same for huge batches of cards, then with the card number the first 8 digits are the same, the 9th digit refers to...

    Coles gift card offers

    There are multiple recent reports of Coles MasterCard gift cards being compromised, especially the $100 and $250 ones. They appear to be used at merchants that do not check CVV on the cards, ironically Google Play is one of them, seems that card numbers are brute forced along with expiry dates...

    There's no way out, not yet anyway, but allegedly ASX is "working on it". Coming mid to late 2022 as per the recent article I came across

    Long wait for refund for cancelled reward flights Qantas - a common experience?

    I had a feeling HUACA could have helped my case But anyway there were the issues of cabin availability for 2x seats and to make matters more challenging, our girl who wasnt even born when the original booking was made (we meant to add her to the booking closer to travel date) will now be 2+ by...

    Long wait for refund for cancelled reward flights Qantas - a common experience?

    Didn't work for us trying to change the EK/QF award booked prior to EK awards "enhancement" from QFF to partner award table, was advised on the phone (and on AFF prior) that the points difference would be charged. That and lack of EK F availability saw us having to unfortunately cancel.

    Long wait for refund for cancelled reward flights Qantas - a common experience?

    7.5 weeks for me since cancelling over the phone and neither points nor taxes refunded yet. waiting a few more days for the magic 8 week number (is it still 8? hope it hasn't blown out to 10-12 weeks) and will be chasing it up to try and make it all in 1 phone call (fingers crossed)

    Qantas to allow free changes, cancellations to Classic Flight Reward bookings to 30 September 2022

    is this time on hold normal or are the weekends not the best time to call? I'm used to waiting a couple of hours, but nearly 6 hours seems like an overkill Edit: jinxed it, disconnected after 6 hrs

    Qantas to allow free changes, cancellations to Classic Flight Reward bookings to 30 September 2022

    Question (and hope I'm in the right topic), we have a combined QF-EK classic award booking made back in 2019 when EK awards were priced same as Qantas (before they were moved to partner award schedule). Departure date is again coming up, if we were to change again will we be charged the points...

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    Those were the days. I'm surprised I managed to keep my account even though a family member got the letter and was doing exactly same number of transactions to the same biller from the same browser window. The only regret is we didn't go hard enough and only kept it to two cards each...

    Haven't seen this before with flybuys, this might actually be an improvement. Hope it's ongoing, not a one off.

    Credit Card Offers Westpac Altitude Platinum Sign-Up Offers & Discussion

    Keen to apply for this for 75k and no fee first year, my 12m exclusion period lapsed just over a month ago. The only thing that makes me hesitant is that i just opened an equivalent St George within the last 3 months, and they are essentially the same bank. Hope westpac doesn't have silly...

    Car hire Tasmania. Which company?

    Another suggestion: Bargain car rentals - used them 3 times in HBA, good experience each time so far. They have (or used to have) a sizable operation in Tassie, in HBA they are located in the airport terminal compared to other non-majors who are usually a shuttle ride away. And i also had an...

    Credit Card Offers St.George Amplify Qantas Platinum Offers & Discussion

    @get me outta here when i cancelled mine last time a couple of years back, i remember them giving something like 30 days grace period to use the points and after that they are forfeited. Wouldn't hurt to ask them or look for t&c's, especially if having a large balance.
