      in store, yes/no/maybe… its complicated

      • ManWithTwoCats on 05/12/2018 - 17:37

        No hard feeling but time wasted on both of us :p
        Lets wait for a true ozbargainer

          Yes you can

          Make sure you flash your credit card in front of the self checkout attendant. When they turn around, pull out your gift card

            @easternculture: I guess pushing the attendant away then check out with your own gc and grab some extra cash is better way.

            @easternculture: attendants don't actually care which card you use, sometimes it just simply doesn't allow buying a gift card with another gift card, it literally pops up on the checkout and says "this can't be purchased with this payment type"

            • easternculture on 05/12/2018 - 20:51
              -2

              @freoleo: Some will refuse to approve the gift card transaction if they see your Coles gift card

              • Associatedfreoleo @ Suncorp on 05/12/2018 - 21:11

                @easternculture: That isn't how it works, we don't get the choice to approve a gift card transaction, some work and some don't work, it depends on the system.

                The system is simply in place to make sure that the Gift card has scanned through properly for the customer as well as to put an issue date on the giftcard.

              • Slippery Otter on 05/12/2018 - 22:58

                @easternculture: Just happened to me today, they even said that the POS wont even allow it even if they tried.

              @nfr: As long as they approve it on the POS, then who cares lol

              @nfr: My expericence
              Until recently i never could use egift to buy giftcards at self serve.
              But recently it works everywhere

              Today the self serve check out girl insisted you werrent allowed to and it didnt work.

              So i asked the other staff to swipe her card. She did and it worked. The othee staff virtually ran over to try and stop me entering it.

              I scanned my next card and she was like, youre not allowed to and it wont work.

              Yes it will work.
              Well i wont allow it

              So i left and went down the road

              • jdogg on 06/12/2018 - 00:05

                @Samsungnote10: Yeah I don't get why the staff get so worked up about it. I doubt they get in trouble or can even trace it back to them but they carry on like they'll lose their jobs if they let it go through.

          well I have had great success buying gift cards with coles egift cards in past (brought $50 uber gift card just today), but I have seen others facing hard time being successful at it. I suppose it really depends on which store you try this at.

            @Cisco123: I think its which cards that are the issue. I tried to get a visa from woolies yesterday, but was unsuccessful. I think they stop the giftcards you'd be able to cycle (use Discount coles to get visa, then visa to get discount coles). As with you, I plan you purchase a $50 card with vouchers as part of this weeks bonus points (will get netflix instead of uber though).

        • jimojr on 05/12/2018 - 17:51

          Yes, you can. I did it today.

      • magic8ballgag on 05/12/2018 - 21:11

        It's not you, it's Coles.

    • futureminime on 05/12/2018 - 17:43

      The general rule has been that you could not get gift cards that could be used to purchase other coles gift cards (no prepaid visa etc). Without having tried eBay myself, I'd guess not.

      As with the other comment I'd say wait for another comment, but just for anyone else, please comment you last time it was successful.

  • SBOB on 05/12/2018 - 17:53

    these in-store only egift cards, or they also work for online coles shopping?

    • Hodlman Sachs on 05/12/2018 - 17:58

      It has an online number so I assume can be used online, though personally I have only used in store.

    • Cisco123 on 05/12/2018 - 18:11

      I don't think Coles allows online payments through gift cards.

      Coles gift card can only be used in store, not online, not petrel.

  • aorusozbarg on 05/12/2018 - 17:57

    Can you use these cards multiple times or is it like the Woolies one where it's one time use?

    • Hodlman Sachs on 05/12/2018 - 17:58

      Multiple

    • UNO on 05/12/2018 - 18:10

      You get a bar code and pin number. I usually saveine on the Stocard app.

    • ely on 05/12/2018 - 20:30

      Normal Woolies is multi use. The occasional special offers that are more heavily discounted are not, which is annoying.

  • unity1 on 05/12/2018 - 17:59

    Can I get this if I have an insurance policy with Suncorp? If not, what product is required to qualify for Suncorp rewards?

    • UNO on 05/12/2018 - 18:09

      I have car insurance with them, and can buy Coles gift cards.

      • unity1 on 05/12/2018 - 18:21

        Thanks. I've had my policy almost 12 months and never knew such a rewards scheme existed. Will check it out tonight and hopefully register.

          Did not work for me :(

    I never had issue buying jb hifi, itunes and other GCs using coles E-GC. They will give you pain if you try to buy Coles Myer GC using Coles E-GC….. Not sure why? but as you know Coles Myer GC can be used for multiple stores while Coles E-GC can only be used for Coles grocerry only.

    • cwongtech on 06/12/2018 - 03:56

      if they buy with their amex card

      Amex is not accepted on Suncorp benefits.
      The reason why Woolies eGift can be offered at 7% discount rate or higher is because Woolworths have their own eGift portal.

      Coles do not have their own portal
      In fact, most places that sell Coles eGift at 5%, usually have a 1% surcharge on ALL card transactions.

      Coles is hard enough to obtain freely at 5%, let alone any higher.

      7% for this deal is extremely high for Coles.

    I know they don’t accept AMEX but can someone please let me know if I buy Wish gift cards using AMEX from elsewhere will these qualify for my $1500 will this GC purchase qualify for 100k bonus on my card that I signed up recently?
