How I saved on Renewing my Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy with Coles

It's just one month before my current comprehensive car insurance  policy with Coles would expire and I just received via post the renewal notice. To my surprise, the premium cost was $100 higher. My first year was around $500 only.

I initiated a chat support through their online website and requested Coles an explanation. The agent on the chat instructed me to contact by phone their team who is handling their Loyalty Program for existing policy holders.

TFC.tv (Australia) new subscription plans

As new immigrants to Australia, we find ourselves sometimes longing for our relatives and friends in the Philippines and all the things we used to having and doing.

This is also true now for our visitors and relatives coming from the Philippines, who will be staying with us for a few weeks or a few months. But thru the internet and the gadgets and applications we have right now, we lessen the chances of being home-sick by communicating frequently with our loved ones who are away from us.

We have now my parents-in-laws with us here in Sydney and they will be staying with us for the next 11 months. Aside from having the Internet and the gadgets and applications we currently have, we are planning to subscribe to TFC.tv during their stay with us.
