Why is Platinum Edge Perth's Best Credit Card deal?

The AMEX Platinum Edge card should be in the wallet of every person in Perth who qualifies. With an anual fee of $195, it comes with a free return economy flight (plus 23kg of luggage) on Virgin Australia from Perth to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Broome any time of the year. Seat availability is surprisingly in great abundance even during peak periods.

For people on the East Coast, they only get free flights along the East Coast but for us in Perth, you could save up to $900 on air fares during peak times! We've posted about this card before but if you haven't moved on the offer already, now is the time to get the AMEX Platinum Edge card.

Click through this link to get 15,000 membership reward points rather than the usual 5,000 points (worth $70 in gift cards).

Phone Charging Too Slow? Probably Your Charger

I've long suspected that charging my phone from different ports or cables results in different lengths of time for the phone to charge. It was not until I got an app called "Galaxy Charging Current" that I realised how much of a difference there is.

• Charging via a USB port on my computer charged at only 460mA
• Charging via an extension USB cable connected to a wall socket - 600mA
• Charging via a Samsung Galaxy S2 USB charger (black) connected to the wall charged at 1000mA
• Charging via a HTC USB charger connected to the wall charged at 1100mA
• Charging via a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 charger (white) connected to the wall charged at 1400mA

It is an app certainly worth getting to find out whether you are wasting your time trying to charge your phone with your computer's USB port.
