Aussies are well-known globetrotters. But since March 2020, Australians haven’t been able to satisfy their wanderlust due to the government’s total travel ban.

And there
will be big life purchases. There’s no getting around it, once you leave the nest, you’re going to have to start spending a bunch of your silly little life credits on stuff like car insurance and nice appliances that don’t break after four months. It’s inevitable, but like I said, there’s ways of gaming the system, so to speak.
Credit card rewards: Kogan, David Jones and Coles offer up store gift cards Friday, 16 July 2021

But the truth is, that’s not your only option.
In fact, a few Aussie retailers offer rewards credit cards, including big names like Kogan, David Jones and Coles.
Like other rewards cards, these options allow customers to earn points as they spend, and in some cases offer discounts or vouchers to shop in-store with (when customers meet the spending requirements).
