    My favourite use for Skype credit is when you need to call your bank while overseas to report a lost card or fraudulent transaction. Can easily spend half an hour on hold, which gets very expensive using roaming.

    • How would that work? Assuming you are already in another country, would you need wifi for this to work.

      • Yep, exactly. Free WiFi is usually pretty easy to find in most places, especially at hotels/hostels.

    • And you can also use it to make a call to a local number there if you are bludging off WiFi.

    Expect this to sell out in first 1 hour everywhere, sells out everytime.

    • Plenty still left for me this afternoon

      • Yeah i totally forgot to go yesterday and went today to find a large pile at local woolies. :)

        Seems like unlike coles, woolies puts on proper stock.

    Good one 😒😒

  • What's the expiry on these?

    • one year from the date of purchase

      • and I think once you activate the credit goes inactive on 180days but then you can easily reactivate again so thats good

        • +1

          And to avoid having to reactivate, all you have to do is send a text or make a call before expiry, even an unsuccessful one.

  • Do people still use skype?

    • +1

      No, but skype still uses people

    • +1

      Why not

      • Common use of viber and whatsapp means I can call most people for free anyway

  • Can you use skype credit the same way you'd use phone credit to buy things?

    • +2

      • Telstra pre-paid plans via google

    Using these gift cards, Office 365 Personal and/or 1TB OneDrive can be had for as little as $43.61/year.

    **Purchase a Skype subscription, such as the "North America Unlimited mins mobiles and landlines" which comes with an Office 365 Personal subscription tacked on. The cost is $9.00/month.

    **Prepay 12 months of the chosen subscription at a 15% discount. The cost will be $91.80/year.

    **Use the ½ Price Skype Gift Cards as payment. Therefore, the actual cost will be $45.90/year.

    **If the Skype Gift Cards are originally purchased using a 5% discounted Wish eGift Card, then the effective cost will be $43.61/year.

    • Can someone confirm this? I don't see the office 365 subscription with any plan?

      • +1

        Although I haven't purchased the skype subscription, I do see the bundled offer. However, it shows up on one of my laptops but not the other. Turns out its opening different URL's despite the fact that I went to the subscriptions page using the same method on both laptops.

        To see the offer, the URL should have "bundled" after the equal sign and not "empty". You can change the URL manually or click the link below. Select Australia 300 mins mobiles and landlines which cost $9 per month and comes with office 365 included. Follow DirtySteve's steps to get it cheaper.

    thanks OP just reactivated skype credit that I bought from a similar deal like 3 years ago

  • +1

    Trust me, these Skype gift cards will magically disappeared from the shelves when the promo starts. It's always been like that in the past.

  • Can this card be used to pay the purchase of virtual number on Skype? Need a landline number.

    • yes

    Unfortunately the latest update to Skype on mobile phones has completely ruined it. They've turned it into a social media wannabe application instead of a communication tool. Full of bugs, a terrible redesign and you can no longer see who is online.

    • Since new Android update I'm unable to use Skype SMS to phone feature.
      Hope they fix it soon.

    Last time I bought one of these, used about half on 1 holiday, then Microsoft took away my remaining balance before my next holiday…

    Not to mention hotmail having a hissy fit and trying to send me a verification code via sms because I logged in from a different country.

  • Got a $25 and a $10 voucher… seems like others had seen the promo… weren't many left - Woolworths, Highpoint - VIC.

  • It is a good deal but I believe the steep hike in call connection fees for each call being made has ruined the fun of cheap calling (unless you are on subscription mode).

  • Deal expired as local Woolies I went to tonight scans at full price.

    • Nope, deal extended to 8/8.

      • I went to 2 Woolworths in Melbourne yesterday (2/8) and both scanned the gift cards at full price :-(
        Perhaps its only been extended in some states?

  • Looking like full price on my end :(
