Cleaned out another 30x this time in Melbourne. Self service checkout seems to be working fine and faster than my Sydney locations

Inception occurred at 3.28pm.

The most difficult, time consuming effort ever! But free money is free money

I appreciate the free money concept but I weep for the hypothetical lost MR points

No amex. Nothing lost.

Using my Amex to buy CashRewards EGC then using it to buy the Only1 has the best of both worlds for points and "free $5 per $100" but it's waiting for those EGC to arrive fast enough. Most of this have been documented on other sites but for convenience sake, directly using the Amex is an option. I'm only using it to pay the bills that usually come out of the offset since the surcharges are then considered negligible with the deal(s [staff bonus sweetener])

I thought Amex only gave 1 point per dollar spend with Platinum Edge based on what people in Ozbargain was saying. Is the 3 points still working?

temporary glitch over a couple of days only. 3 points still working.

 

[nightelves]

Awesome!

 

[wohoo]

self check outs are painful, would rather pay that $5 than wait again.

Just saw some guy buying over 500 of these cards. He is a dumb cough. Doing 10 at a time.

Taking up 5 checkout machines.

Idiot!

500? I don't believe that

 

[d00dz]

He had a checkout basket full of them

He must have had them put aside

No he did not.

I think someone who is blocking up 5 machines simultaneously would raise more eyebrows and have WW escalate the patch faster, especially if it is happening across stores and reported back to their IT.

I highly doubt this person was using eWISH cards. More likely they were using an AMEX.

I've seen someone buy 100's at a time before. In those instances they were ordered in specifically by the store.

True. So it's all legit and no issues then

You could argue he was making hay while the sun shines. I have tried to keep plenty of golden geese alive with moderation but often end up losing out as a result.
The 5 checkouts is antisocial for sure

A hard way to make $250 perhaps but each to their own. Maybe for him a good days work
