I always see the points promotions but wonder if people genuinely benefit long term. Are the rewards decent if used properly? Or mostly marketing hype?
I saw the banner in the app: if you open a CommSec Australian/International Shares account by May 31, you get 30 free trades starting in June. For the experienced investors here: is it worth moving away from the simple CommSec Pocket interface for this, or will the standard brokerage fees eat those gains the second the 6-month promo ends in November? Also, has anyone actually received their "Yello" loyalty payment for investing yet, or is the eligibility criteria still a moving target?
Pocock has been a dog with a bone on this for months, and his statement today is pretty damning. He’s basically saying Bishop acted in the "best interests of the ANU" by finally getting out of the way. It’s crazy to see a Federal Senator have to push this hard for transparency at a national university. Do you think the "voluntary undertaking" for an independent search for the next Chancellor actually happens without him and the NTEU making life hell for the Council?
It happenned with my today. My card declined but I have money in my account. What could be the reason for this?
With the 2026 Bankwest Enterprise Agreement negotiations currently in full swing and more frontline services being "integrated" into CBA, I’m seeing a lot of mixed signals. If you were moved from a Bankwest contract to a CBA one recently, was the process as "seamless" as they promised in the emails? I’m specifically worried about my old offset account features- did everything carry over to the CommBank app correctly, or are you still fighting with support to get your "Yello" benefits recognized?
I use it regularly, but not sure how it stacks up overall. Is it actually one of the better ones?
