Was in Woolworths, Marden, today and saw the gift card stand decorated with banners that said no fees (save $5.95) on $88 eftpos cards. All I know is that it said that the card is accepted wherever eftpos is accepted.

Was too lazy to find out the expiry date…

Checked online and no sign of the deal or the card…so just an in-store thing…

Main attraction is the ability to consolidate your wish/dan murphy cards into these to extend expiry AND increase versatility (need to use self checkout machines)…thanks to "Turd"

    $88 - What an odd amount. I'm going to assume it's a Chinese New Year promotion.

      88 means luck in Chinese, like how 666 means devil in English.

          @ozy:
          666 is the number of the name of the antichrist who will have satan indwell his body. Jesus adds up to 888 since Greek letters were used as numbers.

          The reference to 666 is in the new testament…

          so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six.

      it is very helpful for those pesky stores that charge a credit card surcharge

        • Turd on 25/01/2017 - 09:57

          But this is saving of 5-50% depending how you got the original wish cards.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2017 - 10:38

          think more interest free, offset loan accounts, credit card rewards schemes

          88 dollars on a savings card costs some $88 worth of money and rewards to some

        • Turd on 25/01/2017 - 10:40

          @carlb: Depends. If your loan is less than 5% this instant saving of 5% for life1year is better than having the money sitting in offset.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2017 - 10:51
          +1

          @Turd: I don't understand your sentence,
          I think you may be referring to using the same credit card to buy the wish cards for 5% off ?
          then using that to achieve 5% off the eftpos card and still achieve any CC interest free and offset benefits and cc surcharge avoidance, which case the below interest free is added on top of the 5% saving not instead of

          if using a credit card instead of savings you have $88 in the bank for the interest free term of your card upto 55 days or 6 months.
          The $88 in bank earning interest or avoiding 3-5% home for upto 55 days or 6 months
          you also earn credit card rewards if you have them.

          on my interest free for 6 months i would only save on the rate 5% compounded on $88 = ~$2
          on my interest free for 55 days i would only save on the rate 5% compounded on $88 = ~$0.23
          but that is still better than $0 for using savings button

          This also helps those looking to spend $2000 in one month (without incurring unnecessary CC Surcharges) on their shiny new credit cards to meet requirements to achieve bonus points or $500 cash back offers.
