Be warned: changing anything on lastminute.com.au is a massive headache. They're just a middleman, so you're stuck with whatever the airline or hotel's baseline policy is, plus an extra admin fee from the portal itself. If plans might change, skip the OTA and just book direct with the property.

Yeah, lastminute.com.au has zero teacher discounts, no ID verification portal at checkout or anything. Honestly, don't waste time looking. Your best bet is stacking a sitewide promo code (they drop them around long weekends) with Cashrewards or ShopBack. Otherwise, their Secret Hotels tab is usually where the actual savings are anyway.

They definitely don't do birthday promos; never seen one in my inbox. Honestly, skip waiting for that and check Cashrewards or ShopBack for cash back instead. You can usually snag $10 to $20 off via app-exclusive coupons, or just bundle a hotel with your flight to drop the total.

You can use standard cards or PayPal on lastminute.com.au, but watch the payment screen closely. Flight bookings especially love tacking on unexpected card surcharges right before you hit confirm. PayPal usually skips annoying card verification glitches, but Amex almost always carries a steeper checkout fee if the airline even takes it.
