    I saw ""50% off Woolworths Money Visa Prepaid Gift Card""………….and after i clicked in
    .."Purchase fees" ..lol!

    • Me..thought the same and yeah..LOL. Bit disappointed though..😀

    • I got caught on the same thing too.

    If it is 50% GC value, I'll load 10*$500 for the purchase of the next 2 years.

  • +3

    I must have missed something here - you pay a fee to spend your own money , even at a discounted rate ?

    • You pay a fee to be able to spend your cash on online shopping.

      • +1

        Thanks, but I guess there are actually bunch of cards pay you fee to spend your money online or elsewhere

  • +3

    Does not look like bargain.

    They should give the card for free since they benefit from the money we load on the card

  • very confusing …..

    How is this a deal in any way shape or form? It reads to me as a prepaid credit card that you have to buy, which comes with a zero balance. You can only spend what you paid into it. Worse still, it expires and is not redeemable for cash!

  • Pointless.

    Please explain! Why is this a deal?

  • +5

    It suppose it would be useful for claiming the Club Catch free trial on COTD as you need unique card details for each time.

      Yes, anonymity is the main drawcard - I think the best deal we had in recent times was the $0 Coles Reloadable Mastercard (can't beat that), plus VISA prepaid cards usually carry a fee of around $5 (Auspost ones are $5.95). Thank you for this first positive comment.

      Ding, give gooddealmate the prize for explaining why one would pay $3 for a unique debit card number. Also good for paying for a VPN if you want your VPN'ing to be as anonymous as possible.

    How do you load it? If it's with eftpos is it a purchase or cash out?

    • what i know you cannot pay credit card with another credit card. so only pay using cash or saving account

  • How long is the expiry date on these cards?

    • Per T&Cs "The expiry date is printed on the front of the Card and it cannot be extended", so best to check that before redeeming the voucher.

  • it doesn't say if you can or can't use a discounted wish giftcard to load the card. If you can then the fees will be offset by the discounted wish gift cards. Could be really good.

    • +1

      Good thinking. Yes T&Cs don't list loading methods (was trying to answer JIMBO's question above). I suppose we could ring Big W or ask at the counter before getting these vouchers.

      GOOD THINKING!!

      If I use entertainment book to purchase e-gift card (5% off) and recharge visa prepaid .For every $500 I can save $22.25 ( $25 - 2.25 per purchase fees)

      So it's 4.45% off for EVERYTHING ( Car, House, Yacht… woohooo!)

      Alternatively, after you got the Prepaid Visa, you can use it to purchase back the e-gift card, for each time you do you will have extra 22.25 visa credit.

      Just keep doing it for 1000 times and you will have extra 225k, and 10000 time can pay 20% deposit of a 1.1 million house

      OMG That's the GREATEST OZ-BARGAIN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • OH!!! ONE MORE THING!!!!!!!!

        5% Cash Reward for the visa prepaid card purchase!!!!!

    • @googoogaga

      it doesn't say if you can or can't use a discounted wish giftcard to load the card. If you can then the fees will be offset by the discounted wish gift cards. Could be really good.

      Last time i tried that they said nope. (Woolies not Big W)

        tried to load money to that prepaid Visa card at Wooli , pos automatic decline when load with an eftpos gift card which can't not be use for ATM and also declined wish gift card too. Staff says that is cash out transaction.

    LOL

    Does anyone know if we can fund these cards via a credit card and for the transaction to be treated like a purchase or does that depend on your card / bank ?
