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

Recently, American Express started offering to waive the first year's annual fee for the AMEX Platinum Edge card. This is a saving of $195 for a card that includes a free return economy flight (plus luggage) on Virgin Australia to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Broome any time of the year with a surprisingly high availability of seats even during peak periods.

For people on the East Coast, they only get free flights along the East Coast but for us in Perth, we could save up to $1000 on air fares using this offer! We've posted about this card before but if you haven't moved on the offer already, now that they are waiving the first year's annual fee, now is the time to get the AMEX Platinum Edge card.

Don't just click on the ads, click through this link instead to get 5,000 extra membership reward points instead of the usual 5,000 points.

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.
