+1 voteNot true. They CAN sell out. Each terminal has a daily limit (that I'm sure is for sales such as this).

and does anyone know if k-mart or target will price match this deal? cause i've got a coles/myer gc that i want to use before it expires in 3 months

I've just been to Big W in Auburn and walked away with 5 x $20 iTunes voucher. Had to do it at the audio/TV counter since the checkout counters can't scan the bar codes.
There was a guy infront of me getting the same thing and another guy behind me also getting the iTunes voucher.

anthonettex on 12/12/2009 - 11:35 ¶haha i did it around 9am at the same place. I bet the a/v counter guy can whip them out quickly since he'd be used to it now. haha didnt even bother with the cardboard cards but had a stick there.
-2 votesWent in and picked up 20 this morning (took my kids with me, we each got 5) - you do get a physical gift card - in fact, the system has changed & now you cannot get them once those physical cards run out. The activation number is on the card, the card gets activated at the checkout. Once they sell out of physical cards it'll be game over for everyone.

Are you sure? :)
I can see someone here selling them on eBay

S/He also have some items previous listed on OzB!
+ SONY PlayTV for PS3
+ Belkin Slim Back Pack Laptop Bag @HT

I don't understand.
My partner and I went and got 1 lot of 5 gift cards each (actual cards).
When we went out, my lot had 5 separate small receipts with activation approved on them.
My better half (?) did not get these small separate receipts (and was not paying attention when buying them to see if the cashier just threw them away or something :P)… are these ones still good to go?
+1 voteDon't stress — that extra slip of paper is merely an EFT authorization/approval slip. You might have an issue if you have a problem with the cards, but the gift cards don't actually rely on that.
There are evouchers which are also slipped into a "gift card" pouch, but they're a separate thing (which you don't need to worry about)
+1 voteActivation issues usually get picked up at the point of sale.. so should be no worries there.
I can vouch for at least one of my customers who's had redemption issues, and the only course of action is really to contact Apple directly. (I'd presume there's some sort of log to manually search for a voucher/card #, view when it was activated, how much, and when it's been used).
These are odd instances are definitely not the norm.
MetalPhreak on 13/12/2009 - 05:51 ¶I bought five and went through the front counter. They were the actual plastic card ones. She had to manually enter in the code (scanning didn't work) and each one had to be done in a seperate transaction :3 I was there for like 10mins. The queue behind me wasn't very happy xD

I just bought 10 at Big-W, QV, Melbourne. They were pulling all the iTunes card off the shelf because there were problems with activation. I convinced the sales rep to just give me ten and they sold it to me. Now they are not activating even though I received an activation confirmation voucher.

I can confirm that stores can and do sell out of these. I would assume most stores have hit their daily limit for evouchers (from epay)and are now tearing through the physical gift cards.
I'm not sure how long epay replenishment occurs, but if you couldn't get any today, I'd give tomorrow morning a go with the evouchers. (i.e. the cardboard slip/purse)
Winterangel72 on 12/12/2009 - 16:07 ¶I picked up 5 cards today at my local Big W. I just scratched off the codes for two of them, but when I went to redeem them it says that the codes I'm using have already been redeemed :( Anyone else have this problem, or can suggest what I can do?? Do I just return them tomorrow back to Big W?

i am having the exact same problem!! it comes up with all sorts of different errors on my iphone and in itunes ….its so ****** annoying :P
but i have had issue like this before when i brought some from myer …i think there is a delay in the cards becoming active …because the bigw person definitely made sure they were activating correctly as they put them through
i would try again tonight or tommorrow and they may work …in itunes it lets u type in the serial number after trying 3 times but then it says the serial number is wrong!!

Question about Movies on itunes.
What quality are the movies in terms of resolution and what file format, that is can i buy the movie "the Hangover" on itunes, transfer it over to my PVR via USB and play it on my flat screen telly ?
Or are itunes movies a really small resolution that only good to watch on a ipod screen ?

iTunes movies come in SD (640 x 480) or HD (1280 X 720) and come in H.264 (.m4v) but even if you have hardware capable of playing this format because of the Apple DRM system you won't be able to play the file on your DVR and your only option is a Apple TV or a HTPC. If you have one of these SD movies are tolerable and the HD stuff is pretty good.

Although i though that, I read DJs policy and it technically seems to clear it

wow, looks like you're in the clear!
If by chance you find the price for an identical item is cheaper elsewhere, we will match it. Simply notify the sales assistant, and after we have verified the lower price, we will reduce our price to match it.
That's our Price Promise. And that's why it costs no more to shop at David Jones.*
*Price matching only takes place where the product is identical and any offers made by David Jones in respect of the product are also identically available from our competitor at the competitor's price for a product in stock at an outlet within the same city or town. The David Jones Price Promise does not extend to online retailers, fire or liquidation sales, rack, clearance and warehouse outlets.
I would say you can then (but if upon getting rejected, have a print out of that page in handy to show them their own policy)
footywiz11 on 13/12/2009 - 00:14 ¶I don't know if they are telling a lie or not, but I asked a staff member if they sell itunes cards and they said no
footywiz11 on 13/12/2009 - 01:05 ¶no this was officeworks and I went there to ask about the itunes cards before I bought them at Big W at QV. Lag central, takes like 5 minutes per customer
t3chshopper on 12/12/2009 - 23:13 ¶I picked up 10 today in 2 separate transactions. I had the same experience as a few other people here. They couldn't scan them in at the normal checkout, so they had to key in the card number (19 digits) by hand, for each of the 5 cards. On my second visit I took the gift cards to the AV counter where they scanned in straight away.
patientvalue on 13/12/2009 - 08:55 ¶i picked up 15 in a single purchase at Campsie Big W (NSW) at 8.15 this morning-the gift certificate ones. And still heaps left (i didn't want to deprive all you ozbargainers :)
I went directly to the AV counter, it was a problem free purchase.
