          Yes, you can.

  • what on 11/12/2014 - 03:38

    Sorry if this sounds silly or if it has been asked before. Not sure how this works. Do I need to buy an entertainment book and then place an order for the gift cards.

    • Marketingsam-1966 @ Entertainment on 11/12/2014 - 07:40

      Yes, you need to purchase your Entertainment Membership first. You can get digital membership, which is virtually instant to your phone and then you can purchase the gift cards.

      • what on 11/12/2014 - 13:39

        thank you

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 12/12/2014 - 00:00

      or you can purchase 5% discounted woollies gift cards via cash rewards for no outlay of any membership cost

    Very happy - just purchased $1,100 of giftcards to pay for my Apple Mac :)

  • tokziktigah on 14/12/2014 - 22:22

    Has everyone purchased other gift cards (e.g. JB Hifi, Myer etc) only through self serve or has anyone managed to do this through the actual service counters?

    • poko on 15/12/2014 - 07:18

      I have purchased super cheap auto gift cards through the self checkout before using the physical wish gift cards (not egift card) and it didn't even need staff authorisation (coles self checkout requires this when purchasing gift cards). I assume it would work the same for egift cards.

    • leslie knope on 15/12/2014 - 08:57

      In the past I have purchased iTunes gift cards at a self service checkout. No staff intervention required.

    • TassieJones14 on 16/12/2014 - 16:25

      Just do it at actual service counters; they don't actually care, if that's what you're worried about.

      Like I purchased 11 $100 giftcards (I thought they would be mad cuz it was so many) at BigW counter because they didn't have anything above $100. The lady said people do it all the time.

  • rainbow612 on 17/12/2014 - 08:23

    I bought my giftcard on Sunday and i still haven't received it, anyone know of a contact number for woolies gift cards?

  • sween64 on 17/12/2014 - 14:35

    Just bought myself a $500 card. This better work at Woolworths/Caltex fuel outlets.

      Use one today at WW paying for groceries to qualify for the $1 starter kit deal:

    • zzyss on 17/12/2014 - 15:16

      Hmm… thought it was said that it didn't work at WW/Caltex and Dick Smith. But the worse that can happen is that you just go into a Woolies and "convert" it into a Wish gift card instead, which IS accepted those places.

      • sween64 on 17/12/2014 - 15:22

        Posts above seem to suggest it can be used at any Woolworths group store just like the standard Woolwoths e-gift Wish cards.

        I've bought and used e-wish cards at Woolworths/Caltex before. Just not Big W branded ones.

        Yes conversion is always an option, but I prefer the pdf e-cards.

  • strikerzebra on 18/12/2014 - 15:28

    I purchased some e-giftcards about 17 hours ago and they havent come through yet?

    • strikerzebra on 19/12/2014 - 09:51

      Finally received my card 24 hours later, will be trying at Caltex over the weekend.

      • uder on 22/12/2014 - 10:20

        Weird that it takes that long to issue a digital gift card?

        • strikerzebra on 22/12/2014 - 10:29

          They must process them manually or something due to the severe delay

  • roofyapple on 21/12/2014 - 09:24

    I just received my email with the number and pin. Can you use this is self check out? If so, do you have to type in the long number and hold up everyone in the queue? I would have thought it would come with a barcode and it will just scan.

    • luztra on 21/12/2014 - 11:24

      You can use at the self service. You select e-gift card for payment, enter code and then PIN. It is quick and simple.

    • zzyss on 21/12/2014 - 16:55

      Not the long number, there's a slightly shorter (10 digit) one that you have to type into the card swiping thing. It's not too bad. Yes a bit slower than swiping a gift card, but not so bad that you're holding up the queue by more than a few extra seconds.

  • bluesky on 23/12/2014 - 14:28

    The OP mentioned that this offer expires on 30 Dec 2014. I don't seem to be able to find the T&C where this is stated. Any chance this may be an ongoing deal by Entertainment Book? Thanks in advance.

    • rabbit71 on 23/12/2014 - 15:40
      +2

      The 30 December date was in an email I received from Entertainment Book. However the T&C do leave a little hope. Anyway you just reminded me to buy $1,500 more of gift cards for the next few months of groceries.

      • bluesky on 23/12/2014 - 15:51

        Thanks rabbit71, for the clarification :-)

  • massafiri on 26/12/2014 - 11:16

    Can you use these gift cards for DickSmith Online?

    • Coops1 on 26/12/2014 - 18:56

      Nope, they dont work.

      • massafiri on 27/12/2014 - 01:42

        Dang.

        • Coops1 on 27/12/2014 - 06:40

          I should have mentioned that you can buy a physical wish gift card (or DSE card) and use that to purchase via online or instore DSE, just not the egift versions of them.

        • massafiri on 28/12/2014 - 10:06

          @Coops1:
          Thanks Coops, I did confirm that with a DSE staff member today.

  • fredblogs on 29/12/2014 - 16:29

    It now says "Valid until 01 June 2015." Anyone know if this means the deal is no longer expiring tomorrow?

    • bluesky on 29/12/2014 - 16:51

      One would think so. Otherwise, what would this date refer to? This coincides with the expiring of the 2014 membership.

      • Coops1 on 29/12/2014 - 22:17
        +1

        The 7.5% off offer definitely expires on the 31st December. The cards are valid for 12 months from issue.

        The 01 June 2015 date is just that an erroneous date. Buying $2500 more tomorrow just to have the next few months covered.

        • cnrmlj on 30/12/2014 - 16:55

          The entertainment book site doesn't say anything about an expiry of the offer prior to 1 June 2015. Will find out on 1 January 2015 I guess.

        • whodidthat on 30/12/2014 - 17:17

          @cnrmlj: It does:

          TERMS & CONDITIONS
          Valid until 01 June 2015.
          Redeemable at all BIG W stores.
          For BIG W eGift Card terms and conditions please visit everydaygiftcards.com.au

        • cnrmlj on 30/12/2014 - 17:31

          There is conjecture above about it expiring on 31/12/2014 or 30/12/2014. Agree that it expires on 1 June 2015 according to the information on the entertainment book website (i.e. there is nothing about it expiring prior to 1 June 2015).

        • whodidthat on 30/12/2014 - 17:40

          @cnrmlj:

          They haven't made this one very clear at all.

          It does say "BIG W eGift Cards are valid for 12 months from the date of issue" but then under terms, the statement above.

          I'd say the "deal" ends 01 June 2015 - but they really should clarify what that date means.

        • Coops1 on 31/12/2014 - 16:26

          OMG people, you won't get the 7.5% off after 31December…Come 01Jan2015 you will only buy them @ 5% off. Who gives a stuff if they expire on 01Jun or in 12 months time. Of course they wont expire this week, geeesh!

        • whodidthat on 31/12/2014 - 19:04

          @Coops1: Where does it say the deal ends today?

        • Coops1 on 31/12/2014 - 19:12

          @whodidthat:

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/172639?page=1#comment-2471…

          It was in the email we all got, exactly as per rabbit71's comment

          Otherwise I am holding 5 grands worth when I could have spaced it over 5 months.

        • whodidthat on 31/12/2014 - 22:24

          @Coops1: You're right, I just checked the e-mail I received but it should be specified on the deal page as well (under terms & conditions). That's why I said they haven't been very clear with this one.

    Fine print from the email I received. Sorry I set the wrong expiry date.

    This exclusive Entertainment™ Member promotion ends 11.59pm AEDT on 31 December 2014. BIG W Gift Cards are valid for 12 months from date of issue. This offer includes free postage. All BIG W stores accept BIG W eGift Cards. For full terms and conditions, visit everydaygiftcards.com.au

    Phoned "Entertainment" yesterday to clarify the end date of this offer. Was transferred around a bit with varying answers. Some said "if the website shows 1/6/15 then that must be the date". Someone else said that "1/6/15 is the end date of the current book so it may just have defaulted to that date" and that I should check with "Wish Cards".

    Phoned "Wish Cards" and was transferred around a lot and also asked to phone a different number. Eventually got to speak with a guy who was definite about the end date.

    He was certain that the end date was 31/12/14 (unless my memory is playing tricks on me and he said 30/12/14). He said the agreement that they have with "Entertainment" for the 7.5% discount is until 31/12/14, not 1/6/15. He said he will phone them to have it corrected on their website as that could be misleading. He said that 1/6/15 could refer to the end date for the standard 5% discount.

    • bluesky on 30/12/2014 - 20:18

      You obviously spent quite a bit of effort to get it clarified. Thanks a lot :-)

  • Peck on 31/12/2014 - 12:42

    In spite of the offer expiry date, it is still available today, 31 December 2014.

    • rabbit71 on 31/12/2014 - 14:50

      That's because I set the wrong date (see previous post). The expiry date is today, however I can't edit the post for some reason.

  • kelea on 31/12/2014 - 15:12

    Tried buying WISH GCs with this at Woolies - can't do through self checkout (requires attendant), but this may be because this was all I tried buying.

    Anyway, both the attendant and the service counter staff was certain you cannot buy a GC with a GC (and wasn't willing to try).

    Went to BigW and the staff there was unsure but at least willing to try. It did work as expected.

  • luztra on 01/01/2015 - 00:03

    Deal is now expired. Back to 5%. Glad I jumped on a last minute order for $5000. Will do me a few months. :)

    • scheps on 01/01/2015 - 08:58

      have you got your order yet? i did a big one too on the 30th and did not get even the invoice email.

      • Coops1 on 01/01/2015 - 09:35

        Your in a bit of bother then…I would be checking up with them.. Invoice is immediate, with card details following soon after, either within an hour or 3

      • luztra on 01/01/2015 - 11:42

        No I haven't received anything as yet, but I am not too worried as it is New Year so I am sure it will come through.

      • Peck on 01/01/2015 - 12:17

        I ordered 31/12/15 and received an order confirmation email very quickly, but not the usual invoice. And still awaiting the egift card details. If you are worried, check https://everydaygiftcards.com.au/wowmoney/giftcards/landing.…

        • scheps on 02/01/2015 - 14:41

          came through… phew! but couldn't use it to buy wish GC at woolies. Definitely no go at the machine.
