    Amber Electric

    Looks like amber has changed the referral offer. Not sure if the code in the previous post for $30 still works. The new offer is $10 off per month for 12 months. If you use my new code 9CFLQHYG I will also get $10 off for 12 months. Maybe try whichever offer you prefer.

    Amber Electric

    I've changed my electricity retailer to Amber and I'm pleased with the way it works. Amber is an electricity supply company that gives you access to the wholesale market. On the wholesale Market the feed-in tariff can be as low as -4c/kWh (yes minus 4 cents) or as high as $19/kWh! Prices...

    Coles Rewards MasterCard devaluation

    +1 has kept hers as a back-up and as it has a lower surcharge on some websites (as it is not considered a premium/platinum card).

    PGR Program Changes

    As I'm sure most of you know, points expire after 18 months without activity and my last 20 points are due to expire on 1/6. In the past I would have made sure I stayed at one of their properties to keep my points alive but I have decided to let these last 20 expire as I still can't see any...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I agree and this has been going on for at least 50 years; I can remember having similar discussions when I first started work. While there are some businesses that look after their existing customers, it appears there are far more willing to spend millions trying to win back customers they lost...

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    This is not financial advice. IMHO, the time to move to cash was some weeks/months ago. Your crystal ball did not notify you then (nor did mine). What makes you think that it will notify you when is the right time to move back to growth? Markets go up and down; sit back and relax and enjoy...

    A giggle in a way

    +1 & I both have pre-existing conditions. On our trip to Europe last year, some TI companies (especially those that come with CCs) refused to cover our pre-existing conditions, some would cover them with a rediculous extra premium, and some were quite reasonable. As it turned out, the amount...
