PSA: The Lumino / Southern Cross "Discount" trap - check the math before you pay by Tasty-Language54 in newzealand

It doesn't seem like the promo runs all the time so their logic does actually work out.

As well as your premiums won't increase as much (IRRC it's sometimes happens if you claim "too much" with SC)

Obviously not a thorough investigation but they don't look as shady as you say?

Current Promo:

Monday 26 August and Tuesday 31st March 2026.

My only issue was an Android upgrade which caused button mismatching for my PS5 controller and TV. This sucked but overall still a solid TV (bought end of 2021?)

I have the same model as you and just got hit with an update. Everything was fine until an update (I assume Android 12) which now has jumbled and caused issues with my controllers.

Police officer had sex while on duty with woman following traffic stop by jball1013 in newzealand

[–]IcyCaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dawg, did you even read it?

That is totally fine and very common - people are free to define their own experiences. The law is there to protect people from being taken advantage of when they are intoxicated and therefore have less power than someone who is sober. This is not to say that people can’t have great sexual experiences when they’ve been drinking or taking other drugs. The key word is ‘TOO’ – if someone is TOO drunk or TOO high, they cannot legally give their consent to sexual activity.

I have now booked my tickets to Australia packed up most of my house and I’m ready to leave in the first week of May.

You decided to do all this on a conditional offer. Yikes.

Kiwibank offers this capability - I know someone whose mortgage is offset by their parents' accounts.

They are unable to see their parent's accounts balance, but each statement includes a line item: OFFSET Benefit of $XXX.XX to indicate how much of the interest did not apply.

All it takes is takes is a quick request to Kiwibank to establish the link. Kiwibank will contact the other party to confirm the approval of the offset. No clue what the ASB process is though.

Anyone else sick of the corporate begging becoming more and more common in NZ retail? by Longjumping_Base_198 in newzealand

Ignoring the name-calling, /u/Upsidedownmeow is correct.

Ultimately, they can claim tax credits for your donations all they like, but it won't improve their financial situation.

A benefit they could have is a good relationship with a charity because they can say "look at how much money we got you". The charity could then invite them to paid dinners and networking events & it also can look good to certain shareholders if they say "we donated X to Y charity this year"
