Yes, but this one cant possible benefit me as much as that one did.

Cost me more effort, there wasnt even a single operation
I could actually use that would give me any cash back.

That is just plain wrong.

Ditto.

Dont bother with those, their prices are too high.

Dont bother with health insurance, its a scam.

Thats what I meant about effort, cant
be bothered for the minimal benefit.
I spend the vast bulk of what I spend in Woolys and Coles
etc and they wont be bothering just because I suggest it.

Not in mine.

learn't? watch your apostrophes, learnt does not require one. Unless,
of course, you really did mean learn not. In which case according to
you I need NOT learn to spell correctly.
I'll see your pedantry and raise you 10

Fraid not. Those dont qualify unless you have enough per
month from the accredited retaillers, and I'd never get that.

What matters much more is the total
of the checks for a year or three.
Cant see that ever amounting to much with no local accredited
retailers and f.ck all prospect of there ever being any.

The problem aint what you eat, the problem is that I cant buy
what I eat from an accredited retailer. While in theory you do
get a cashback from any supermarket, in practice you dont
get a cashback with those UNLESS you have spent more than
the minimum per month AT AN ACCREDITED RETAILER TOO.

Group A (the supermarkets and petrol stations and there is a max you can
claim for obvious reasons)
Group B (the ones you are talking about). OK, thats the thing for a lot
of people. It suits me because I wanted to switch my health insurance
from MBF where I am paying just over $50/m for a very basic cover. I
figure I may as well get NIB for the same amount and get extras as well.
That gets an automatic Group B qualification regardless of the actual
cost of the premium. I also buy books and DVDs online, usually through
dstore so thats okay too, and I dont mind switching my book source to
one of the "preferred retailers". I am going to see if some local
stores might sign up, as well.
For you.. not doable. For me and maybe some others.. very doable.
cheers

And it remains to be seen how long they will continue to
offer that, since its money directly out of their own pocket.

I've never bothered with health insurance, its a stupid ripoff.
> I figure I may as well get NIB for the same amount and get extras as well.
I'd bin the heath insurance completely myself. In fact I have done that.
> That gets an automatic Group B qualification regardless of the actual cost of

At a substantial cost tho. $600 a year taint exactly peanuts.
> I also buy books and DVDs online,
I mostly buy books from the coop, dont buy any DVDs at all.

You'd likely find that the coop member discount is worth more.

Not interested in acting as their salesmonkey.
> For you.. not doable.
Yep.
> For me and maybe some others.. very doable.
Dunno. Not bad for someone into say Amway
etc but I cant see too many bothering myself.
And if I'm right, it aint gunna fly for long.

oh Rod you are such a pessimist. They said the same thing about
Emailcash in 1999 but its still going strong. Emailcash changed its
focus as the times changed and I imagine Cashbacksystems will do the
same, rather than go under.

Different structure entirely.

Yes, bet that cashback on all grocerys wont last long.
And I bet they wont sign up enough retailers to make it viable either.
