    Authorities warn travellers about emerging scams related to this travel rule!

    When I used to come to Australia from the UK I had to apply for an ETA in the UK, which was free, and it was sent by email a few days later. I don't know why they've made this one so you have to apply to the UK to get it AND pay $20 for it?🤔

    Tap and pay cost me .5% surcharge on Saturday, if I put my savings account card in the machine at Aldi I apparently would not have paid the surcharge.

    My local Aldis have a big sign up above the checkouts saying there's a surcharge. All you do is stick your card in and choose savings or cheque account. No surcharge. The other supermarkets don't charge anything. Not everywhere charges surcharges. However, I got charged a whole 50c at a cafe...
