    With the Lifestyle membership, does that mean we do not need to be a RACQ insurance member, therefore this is open to everyone?

    Be sure to check out the OzBargain wiki for other discounted eGift card offerings.

  • aja12 on 19/04/2018 - 12:27

    They’ve kind of killed it for larger purchases. With many (maybe all) of the retailers, you can now only buy gift cards at $50 max, capped at 10 per month. It used to be great when you could purchase virtually any amount in one go. They changed it in February.

    • Turd on 19/04/2018 - 12:30

      That is bad, what's the point of using these then

    • doweyy on 19/04/2018 - 12:34

      You can buy bigger cards, you just manually input the amount up to $500 and quantity and press add to cart.

      • aja12 on 19/04/2018 - 12:35

        Nope, at least not with JB HiFi or The Good Guys anymore (haven’t tried others). You can manually put in any amount, but if you enter over $50 it automatically reduces it to $50 when you add it to your cart. Try it.

          @aja12:

          No worries at all, maybe they were just told by the vendors during march to reduce the limits :)

      No surcharge, but the card will require verification with a 4 digit code.

      This is a problem with some cards like Coles Mastercard as it doesn't instantly update.

    Membership of the RACQ is free if you are a Queensland student in the 16-18 year old age bracket, see https://www.racq.com.au/roadside-assistance/roadside-assista…

    Yes, you can get the discounted gift cards with this membership. On the above link, click on the bit that says "Access to the free2go program benefits.", then "access to discounts". You'll then have to scroll down to the discount labelled "egift cards". Note that you can only view which cards are available after you have membership and are logged in.

  • grrrr on 19/04/2018 - 17:56

    Is this an ongoing offer from racq? Or they only offer discounted gift cards occasionally? Or is their life style membership is discounted this time? Sorry, just wondering if it is worth paying annual fees if they only offered discounted gift cards a few times a year?

    • doweyy on 19/04/2018 - 20:54

      Yes it's ongoing and the yearly membership is always the same, it's a great offer.

      They've had this since about August last year.

      • baj on 19/04/2018 - 21:01

        Thanks for clarifying. I just wondered

  • Frozensage on 19/04/2018 - 21:20

    can you use this offer as racv member?

  • pgdownload on 19/04/2018 - 22:41
    +2

    A great modern con. Take something that is usable anywhere and never expires and swap it for something only usable in one store and that expires in 12 months.

    With the membership fee you're on the hook for buying $500 before you break even. Then the store limits how many it accepts. Plus you're now forced to go to that store and likely fall for other marketing tricks.

    There's a reason they're giving away 5%. It's because they know they'll likey make 10% or more back

    • lostn on 19/04/2018 - 23:21

      I agree that gift cards are a con. But giving cash to someone is less formal.

      Gift cards were intended for the purpose of giving to someone as gift to spend as they please (looks better with a congratulations or happy birthday card than giving cash, though is less useful than cash).. not for you to buy things discounted for yourself, which seems to be what most OZBers do with their gift cards.

  • lostn on 19/04/2018 - 23:18

    is RACQ only for Queensladers?

  • Levathian on 19/04/2018 - 23:43

    How do we use the coles one in store..?

    • Russ on 20/04/2018 - 00:31
      +1

      I haven't used e-gift cards, but I suspect they'll have a barcode within the email, just like the physical gift cards have. Zoom into this on your phone, so it almost fills the screen. There is a second barcode reader at all checkouts, which can read barcodes from phone screens. At attended checkouts it is beside the EFTPOS terminal, looking down, so you hold your phone under it. On self-serve checkouts, it's to the side of the main screen, and usually has some flybuys pamphlets on top of it.

      Pro tip: if you take a photograph of the barcode on your flybuys card, you'll never need to carry it with you again. Just bring the photo up on your phone, and hold it under the scanner.

      The scanners are a bit fussy about how far away you should hold your phone. The store assistants are pretty good at spotting people having this difficulty, and will show you the correct distance.

      • Levathian on 20/04/2018 - 09:44

        Cool thanks for that! I already have a barcode app on my phone for flybuys + TM discount lol

    • headphonejack on 20/04/2018 - 06:12

      Russ is correct.

      You’ll receive a barcode like this which you scan and then enter the pin.

      Some staff members have a lot of trouble processing these cards, so you’ll need to be patient or use a self-checkout.

      • techboy on 20/04/2018 - 08:03

        Can confirm This.
        I buy coles egift cards all the time at a discount and just use the app "Stocard" to scan the barcode in and name it coles & (balance of card).

        Then under the notes put the pin number.

        The app can be protected with a pin etc.

      yeah i still dont know if RAC WA members can sign up for RACQ members discounts page i guess easiest way is to try sign up and put your members number in the RACQ sign up page to find out, my guess is will not work and the RACWA members discounts are terrible compared to RACQ unless you like a few cents off petrol or cheaper tix to western force

  • Mkh198 on 21/04/2018 - 10:49

    • doweyy on 21/04/2018 - 11:57

      They are giving back to their members and also getting new ones through posts like this.

      And yes that's correct, you can also price match elsewhere in store to save even further if they have it in stock.

      Just make sure you get big denominations if buying online because of the 5 card limit online.

  • googoogaga on 21/04/2018 - 11:31

      Negative, no card fees whatsoever for mastercard or visa.
