Melbourne Cyber Monday - Glass KeepCup for $11!

Cyber Monday is yet another opportunity for businesses to get customers interested in buying something and while it is an American tradition, businesses in Australia have taken full advantage. Here's a tip that will only last 24 hours. You can get a glass keepcup for only $11!

You need to 
- be in Melbourne to pick up the cup (or add $8 for shipping)
- have registered with the American Express Shop Small promotion 
- go to Keepcup for example
- process your order online using your registered AMEX card at au.keepcup.com on 27th November 2017 (Cyber Monday) 
- add the coupon CYBER30 

The cost of the small glass keep cup is $30. When you apply the coupon, it will take the cup down to $21. When you buy using AMEX, you should get $10 off your purchase because Keepcup is on the Shopsmall promotion map!

Origin Energy vs Kleenheat vs Alinta (vs AGL)

If you are in WA and paying for gas without any discount, you're doing something wrong. Gas does not vary in quality between the provider and really, what customer service do you really need for a utility like this? So the only competition is price. Almost overnight, there are now four providers of gas in WA's market, providing a number of options for residents willing to shop around. When there were two operators, we suggested that you play Alinta against Kleenheat. 

Kleenheat was offering 20% off gas for almost anyone that asked. With the new providers, they are offering 25% off gas. Also, if you know someone from Wesfarmers, which is basically anyone working for Coles or affiliated companies like Bunnings, you should be getting their family and friends rate of 30% off. Then if you spoke to Alinta, they would offer you various levels of incentives to switch back. 

Now, there is AGL and Origin energy offering 35% off gas when you direct debit. We tried to call Kleenheat about it to see whether they were willing to match without much success. They seem comfortable. So what is your household going to do about your gas?

There may be more but these were exact matches between the AMEX shop small list and the Entertainment book.
