Though I do recall some years my youngest son was working on stations in the Murchison during his Uni years. Somehow left his wallet at the previous station and was on his way to another. Filled up the car at a road house in the middle of nowhere and no coin. No help. The owners took his spare tyre and all of his tools and said IF he came back with the money plus 10% he could have his gear back.I haven’t tried it myself, My car is electric hahaha so I am not buying anything at the servo etc for cokes and pasties, and even in the 17 years of driving a petrol car I never had my card fail, But I did see a lawyer talking about it, and apparently that’s the law, you give your licence details and tell them your plan, then you can just leave and return with the payment.
They can’t actually detain you. Just look them in the eye, tell them your rights and then do it. No need to panic.Perhaps but didn't work for the peopke I am working for. No coin no can leave.

In that situation I would have called the police, explained the situation and told them what I was going to do.Though I do recall some years my youngest son was working on stations in the Murchison during his Uni years.

I've had two incidents with those.Bloody trees always causing problems.
The point you're missing is that you will not be able to come back within the hour and possibly not even within 24 hours.It’s no big deal, just go inside the fuel station, give them your details and tell them you will be back within the hour with the payment.
That’s why I said have the emergency $100. It’s kinda of a red herring to my point, my point is about using cash as your go to method.The point you're missing is that you will not be able to come back within the hour or even the day.
1. You put fuel in the car.
2. You go into the shop and pay but can't because the bank's system has crashed and you don't have cash.
What do you do now?
You can't go somewhere else and withdraw cash because the bank's system is down so scratch that one.
In the actual situation that occurred last November, the supermarket had limited power from a generator, they had the freezers and very limited lighting running from that, and that was it.But in your example of a complete black out, would the petrol bowsers even be working anyway???
1, You said you use cash, and gave an example of using cash when you could have collected points, so I assumed you aren’t making the most of it.
2, No, you don’t earn points on the Tax office transactions. However, you can use those gift cards you get at coles when they are on sale for a 10% discount, and collect flybuys in the process.
3, smart but every bit counts, so add your groceries on there too.
4, Really??? You actually enjoy handling cash? Getting change actually annoys the hell out of me.
5, I am not guessing, I am going off what you told me.
Not being silly at all, none of the credit cards I have owned offer points for ATO transactions, plus the ATO charges a fee which may be more than the points are worth.Now you’re just being silly.

Which credit cards earn points on ATO transactions?
If you have used your card for the ATO, go to your points history and see if that transaction generated points, you might be surprised to see that it didn’t.
Edit.
Just checked the terms of CBA, Only one cba card allows points on ATO transactions, and that’s the business card, which is a not a great card to begin with, and the points earn rate is very low.

Yeah that’s what I said, did you read my edit? The earn rate is pretty low in that card, it probably doesn’t justify the fee.“2, No, you don’t earn points on the Tax office transactions.” Value Collector
I am not claiming to know everything, but I do read the terms and conditions, and pretty much every card I have look at that’s worth having doesn’t allow ato points, I double checked this morning and as I linked it now shows that the CBA business card does, which it didn’t before, how ever as I said that card is not the best in other ways.“2, No, you don’t earn points on the Tax office transactions.” Value Collector
You are being silly because you are presuming that you know everything.
I received a very large number of points from my ATO payment, as in flybys to my Qantas account .
Which card allows you to earn Flybuys on ATO?
And how do you convert Flybuys to Qantas? (Genuine question, I though Flybuys only delt with virgin)
I know who you are talking to but I have him gagged and out of sight.You are being silly because you are presuming that you know everything.
I did read it it doesn't answer my question.I gave you the link, read it. While I check out the new post from rederob
Yep , it started out as a Cashless thread, but now seems to have become Pointless.I know who you are talking to but I have him gagged and out of sight.
I considered that, maybe it's me who's out of touch with reality, but then I came to my senses.?
I did read it it doesn't answer my question.
1, I know that, I already accepted that a small number of cards allow you to earn points, as the screen shot of the terms and conditions shows alot of cards don't allow it, so its good for people to know that and check before they try it.1, Yes, it does, you said “No, you don’t earn points on the Tax office transactions.” You were wrong.
2, time to accept that you don't know everything and that some of us on here may know something that you don't
1, I know that, I already accepted that a small number of cards allow you to earn points, as the screen shot of the terms and conditions shows alot of cards don't allow it, so its good for people to know that and check before they try it.
2, I do accepted that, thats why I am asking the question that for some reason you are avoiding, as I said its a genuine question.
I will post my question again-
Which card allows you to earn Flybuys on ATO?
And how do you convert Flybuys to Qantas? (Genuine question, I though Flybuys only delt with virgin)
(I am asking this question because I collect a lot of flybuys and am thinking about switching from virgin points to qantas points, but I didn't think that was possible, but you seem to have found a way, if you mis-spoke and its not possible thats fine, I am just asking for my own information)
