Only if you want to blow up your credit history with another rejection. Best bet is to cool the jets for a few months (at least 4-5 months) to demonstrate you're not desperate for credit and then rejoin the credit card churning game. (I went through this rejection cycle at the end of last year...

Suggest using the Shopback app on your phone. It works reliably for me.

Showing 40%, tracking 20% so hold fire until fixed or be prepared to battle customer service. EDIT - Shopback's acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. FURTHER EDIT - Fix is now done. Let's hope they adjust mine.

Another 40% cashback at BWS today thru Shopback (capped at $30 so target $75). Don't forget to check your EDR boosters (I had 1600 points for $80). EDIT - note that BWS is only tracking at 20% due to an error.

Yes - it's basically a direct deposit of $5k into another account, then making a payment into the account of $1 (something I like to do to check the account number is correct) and $4,990 the next day (so the account remains in debit).

I was looking and it seems they're only valid for 30 days from issue. Hopefully, someone can correct me on this point as I'd like to grab a couple for my stay in Manly in September for dining discounts.

It's been a while since I set mine up but IIRC, I just did an electronic transfer to another bank account of the full balance (although there was a bit of argy bargy getting it set up as the first card never arrived). Anyway, I've been approved for the Qantas offer but have requested a balance...

I'm currently on 1000/50 on Leaptel for $114 per month. Come September, I'll downgrade to the 500/50 plan that will be introduced for ~$92 a month (although having said that, Exetel at $80 per month for the same speeds is looking tempting). TPG OTOH was cheap in the early days of NBN but is...

My A+ also expires at the end of August. I've decided to let it lapse (becoming a 'regular' Accor platinum member) and renew it in December (or November if there's a Black Friday special) as I only have one stay planned in September. Renewal of A+ should allow me to get another year of...

Yup - MEL-ADL in J for an hour, then 3.5 hours in cattle for the same points as a full business award. Very dodgy indeed. As an aside though, if you're a PC member, do you get business SCs for both sectors or only the sector in J?

That’s ummm… poultry… (I’ll see myself out…)

700 points for a $50 spend in one or more shops - will do it...

I wonder whether Qantas are contemplating wrapping up Green tier. It certainly seems neglected. Of the six categories: flying often doesn't work properly unless done at checkout carbon offsets for homes have been removed meaning you have to sign up for power, solar or recycling (which is likely...

Neat! The current Velocity offer is expressed to start on 6 February 2025.

Don't think so. You could get Flybuys though if you haven't done it. (I've done Flybuys but not Qantas or Velocity due to keeping a large balance transfer fixed at a low rate. Might apply for the Qantas one though and see what happens.)

$60/week x 4 for 10K points. Was worried it would be more because I had high spends last month but $60 is fine.

These are likely spoofed numbers, with your number called by an autodialler. They work systematically through phone numbers so your numbers probably weren't targeted. If you are targeted when future scammy calls come, don't be surprised if they do cite one or more of the data points known to...

Anyone wishing to take advantage of the Qantas, Velocity or Flybuys offers should get in quick. Citi/NAB are not taking any new applications for Ready Credit from 14 July 2025. Qantas: Citi Ready Credit - Qantas offer Velocity: Citi Ready Credit - Velocity offer Flybuys: Citi Ready Credit -...

The 'first time transfer' requirement only applies to auto transfers. (I've done my 1000 point transfer. Last time, my bonus lobbed in on 13 January after transferring the Flybuys points on 27 November. It was described as 'Flybuys Dec/Jan 250 Manual Transfer'.
