pretty sure woolies has a no gift card refund policy… :(
I'll give it a go today… but this forum was a general - "Oh crap"… that didn't work out :)
They might still give you an exchange though…never hurts to ask!
I was hopeful ~ but no go…
they wouldn't refund or exchange… sigh ~
Put them on gumtree for $75 ONO, with a 'perfect for kids movie rentals' tag.
yeah, probably more chance flogging it to someone clueless on Gumtree.
@magicmoose: not saying to rip anyone off, if you got kids and regulalry buy movies off itunes or google it could actually be a bargain at 50-75$
I'm guessing the similarity is no accident on behalf of Quickflix - especially the similar gift cards.
I also bought some $15 discontinued games from JB Hifi… which I was going trade into EB games, which had more trade-in value.
By the time I bought them, EB Games had dropped the trade-in value….
Buying a Groupon for a trip to Brisbane in 4 months and finding it has a 90 day expiry!!
Ah over the years I've spent a few hundred on those group-buy vouchers and failed to redeem them.
something like:
found a post with good price for something not really needed but buy it anyway because of cheap. spent lots of time researching, then made calls to check stocks, and then running around to get to the shop before closing (last day of the deal or last stock).
next week, found new post on ozb for the same item with cheaper price. cant return for some reasons.

See a bargain, stuff around researching and deciding whether to get it, decide to go ahead…and then find it is sold out.
Happens often
With yesterdays 10m HDMI cables, I had one in my checkout ready to pay the shipping, and then rushed off to a meeting. I got back and realised I didn't click through the Paypal page, only to come back and find it was out of stock - damn, could've used a nice long cheap cable >_<
I accidentally upvoted one of JV's comments once. I'll never forgive myself.
I went to Pancake Palour for dinner one night - where I could cash in my free $25 voucher. Except I forgot to bring it. Never knew how pricey 4 pancakes can be.
When to pancake with Entertainment Trial membership last year. We went on the last day of the trial membership expire. So check it is still working in the afternoon 2pm. We went of the Pancake at the Rock with the BOGOF voucher. order the two ribs at $35.95. Went off the counter to pay then trial membership expired at 7pm. End up paid total $70 for whole dinner. EPIC DINNER COST
Spuin -could've put that money towards buying the entertainment book, then using it?
Free fitness first 10 day trial coupon. Went to several locations before being outed by employee who had seen me before and demanding my ID and making me feel small and unloved. I now have several fake mustachio's
Getting free stuff and end up never using them…
E.g. I got a Linksys router from back in 2012 because it costs $30 with $30 cashback. It is still sitting on my bookshelf. Unopened.

Guilty.
Buying cheap stuff and end up never using them…
E.g. search for anything that costs $0.99. I have a drawer full of these things. Unopened.
Bought glasses off OPSM they sent an email saying out of stock took 3 weeks to get a refund.
cant you refund them?
Nonone wants them , they are damn near worthelsss sorry to say
You could just use them on movie rentals at worst i guess - maybe someone who rents digital movies will take pity and offer $50
