Furthermore, in order for those apps to be effective in doing their job (i.e. pointing you to the absolute cheapest petrol available in your local area at any particular point in time), this input from the general public is absolutely crucial pretty much anywhere in Australia except WA, NSA and Queensland which require every servo to report their prices in real time to the government. Unlike the government-run schemes, Informed Sources is a commercial for-profit business and if the companies behind those apps want access to their data, they gotta cough up the dough for that and some of the apps can’t afford that due to their business model. If you live in Queensland, there is no official app provided by the local state government (probably because the mandatory price reporting scheme there is technically a two year trial and not a permanent arrangement yet) but you can get fuel prices in real time using the RACQ app or any of the other apps mentioned below: Since Informed Sources was forced by the ACCC to provide their data to anyone who is willing to pay for it (and not just the servo operators) as discussed in The Checkout’s video above, this mob decided it is time for them to open up shop in Australia and pretty much ‘rinse & repeat’ their business model from the US and a few other countries they operate in.

Therefore, in this post I am going to cover the no-contract broadband plans on ADSL, NBN & Mobile Broadband which offer the best price as well as a decent data allowance. The only thing that is a bit of a bummer with Mobile Broadband is the fact that data allowances are a lot smaller than what you’d get with an ADSL or NBN plan for the same price and are definitely not unlimited at this stage (even though Ovo’s CEO reckons we might start seeing unlimited data on 4G mobile broadband plans as soon as early 2019 with the roll-out of 5G services). Whilst the Vividwireless service uses the Optus 4G Plus network, it is designed to be used in the home and its data speeds are different to mobile and mobile broadband speeds on the Optus 4G Plus . In metropolitan areas where you connect to 2300 MHz coverage at your nominated address, download and upload speeds of up to 12/1Mbps are available“ Vivid Wireless offers the mobile broadband equivalent of an ADSL service whereas Ovo offers full access to the Optus 4G & 4G Plus network wherever it’s available and at full speeds.

We often point out on Spending Hacker the fact that purchasing a product or service directly through its provider’s website is not the best course of action if you want to score the best price and/or best terms. If the airline or the third party website you’re booking your flights with wants to charge you extra for paying for your flights using your credit card, you can use Flight Centre to avoid that as they will waive any credit card fees as part of their own price beat guarantee where they beat your best price by a dollar. If the airline or the third party website you’re booking your flights with wants to charge you extra for paying for your flights using your credit card, you can use Flight Centre to avoid that as they will waive any credit card fees as part of their own price beat guarantee where they beat your best price by a dollar. However, to prevent abuse of this exclusive benefit and to make sure that only customers who are genuinely looking for a flight use this service, Chimpando will charge you their service fee if they are able to beat your best price for a flight which meets your needs regardless if you end up going ahead and booking it or not.

If you want to understand the sheer magnitude of this event, this 2 minute video does a good job explaining that To better understand what you can expect on this day, here is a report from the Financial Time’s Beijing correspondent covering the 2015 sale. I can start writing a long essay now about how AliExpress works and what you need to do to protect yourself but given most people respond better to videos than words, I think this 12 minute video guide will do a better job teaching you everything you need to know about what  AliExpress  is, how it works and what to look out for. If a product from any of these categories is found to be a replica and not the genuine brand name described in the sale listing, your money will be refunded in full by AliExpress and they will also force the seller of the item to provide you with monetary compensation of up to twice your order amount (e.g $200 if you ordered something for $100). * If there is a problem with the item you bought (or it never arrives) and the dispute resolution and mediation process with AliExpress fails to get you your money back (as it sometimes does), I suggest you cease all communication with the seller or with AliExpress and instead contact your financial institution and ask them to initiate a ‘chargeback’ of the transaction.
