You could take the $950 now, or get $2375 invested into your super

A dollar contributed to super now would be worth a lot more in future than a depreciated dollar investment from a year ago.
Very good advice!!!
Although it will defeat the objective of the giveaway which is to get the money spent but it is still sound advice.
