Hack: Get 15-20% off Netflix, Disney+ & Apple TV+

How to save 15-20% off streaming services

Do you want to know how to get 15-20% off streaming services like Netflix, Disney + and Apple TV+? Well, it does require a few steps to get there, but hey every dollar counts!

There are some pre-requisites for this example, you will need:

  • An Apple device (anything you can access iTunes from, so iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, etc.)
  • An iTunes Account

Next you will need to sign up for the streaming service via your device.

When registering billing method be sure to select iTunes as the payment method.

Finally, you will need to keep an eye out for sales on iTunes cards. Pick a few up each time they are on sale (they are quite regularly listed at 15-20% off through places like Coles, Woolworths, Target, BigW, and Officeworks. Costco also has them consistently discounted at around 13% off the $50 card, sometimes more.

iTunes also offer direct discounts on occasion, where you might get a bonus amount in addition to the amount you pre-load. Recently

To find out sales near you I find it easiest to Google “iTunes on Sale” and check out sites like OzBargain or Lasoo for the latest details.

Note: this post is written for an Australian audience, if you are outside Australia check to see what is on offer locally.

Do you have any other little money saving hacks to share?

How to create your own wall planner

21/01/2020 by Amy Martin Leave a Comment

I love wall planners – I find them to be good reminders of upcoming events and due dates. I used to use some free promotional ones that my previous employer used to produce until they changed the layout and it no longer suited my needs. So I created my own using Microsoft PowerPoint and a print service! For more information on how to make your own (or a copy of my free template) please see below.

iPads at Costco

Welcome 2020! It has been a while since my last post, I have been busy working, studying, writing for CSU and life! I thought I would start the year off by writing more posts.

I frequently see people asking for the best prices on various tech products and asking if it is cheaper at Costco so on my last trip to Costco on the weekend I thought I would record the prices of the laptops and Apple products available.

Laptop desk setup

It is that time of year again – back to school! Now is a great time to shop around for a new computer. One of the most common questions I get asked is: what computer should I get?

There is no easy answer to that, and my instant response is: well, what do you want to use the computer for? It is by looking at this that you can narrow down the options to find a computer to best suit you! [Read more…] about Need a New Computer?
