Limit 10 per customer in a transaction.

Very useful to buy with your discounted Woolworths eGift cards which you buy at 5% off at various places (apparently only works in some cases - terminals are being upgraded to stop this)

Alternatively buy these with Amex for no cost, get extra rewards points for spending on Amex and then use the prepaid Mastercard at stores where Amex is not available or has a higher surcharge. Note the number of rewards points you get with Amex vs Mastercard will vary depending on the card/s you have.

This is part of Father's Day deals for 2018.

    I just noticed, Officeworks sell Only 1 cards, so you can price match to get 5% off because this offer is for a flat discount to $100 and they have not adjusted their pricing! Making it $95 for the $100 card.

      How many will they allow though

      • doweyy on 31/08/2018 - 11:36

        Up to 10 probably, as that's what Woolies enforces. Just go to different stores if you want, and order them over the phone too.

          OK! I managed to buy 4 using a Coles/Myer gift card which I got from the Vogue Fashion Night promo (I just pretended it was a normal credit card). I then came back later and bought more using the ones I bought earlier. I did this again at another store. I pushed my luck and was denied at the third store (they had 36 in stock!!).

          In all I bought 23, recycled 12, and ended up with 11 for 27% off overall :D

          This ends tomorrow, YMMV.

        not yet at self-checkout but update is being rolled out, just a matter of time. Second bad news is Amex now won't get 3 points anymore from ~24-Aug when you buy egift card.

        It is not Amex that change it, it is WW that change the merchant code for egift card order, you now can only get 3 points at WW supermarket only. [27 Aug - This comment has been edited]

        • Turd on 27/08/2018 - 17:48

          You can't say that. I used one today and it didn't work.

        • samehada on 27/08/2018 - 17:51

          @Turd: upgrade is being rolled out for self-checkout so the store you tried probably has been upgraded. Just try another store.

        • Webbo on 27/08/2018 - 18:21

          This is actually quite shocking. Why has WW changed the merchant code? How does it hurt them to have Amex pay 3 points/$?

        • bamzero on 27/08/2018 - 19:58

          Well, that sucks. Just bought one today with Amex over the wife's card for the triple points.

          What's worse is that means it'll only get 0.5 points/$, not even 1…

          Edit: Hopefully still triple points, pending txn is listed as groceries still like a direct woolies one, will have to wait and see.

        • syba on 27/08/2018 - 20:13

          I bought eGift cards with my Amex on 24th and got 3 points. Just bought another then to see if I still get 3 points or if it has dropped - will probably know in a day or so. If I still get 3 points it means that to buy the prepaid Mastercard I get equivalent of 8.5% extra value based upon buying an eGift card with my rewards points, otherwise it would drop to half that (there are better value rewards than that, but just using that one for simplicity). Still not a bad deal it you only get 2 points now.

          @cwongtech: Sorry I was quick to comment on this. Let me clear it up, my transactions on 23-Aug has 3x but 1 transaction on that same date only get 1x, and all transactions after that date only get 1x. So something must have been happening on 23-Aug before that transaction was posted.

          At this point in time I am not so sure if this is just a technical glitch or is it really WW sneakily done something on their payment processing end. If it is still 3x pts in WW shop then it means it is the end of Plat Edge card. If it is WW who really did this then nothing can be done by Amex.

          First the devaluation of SPG and now this, I am not sure if I should keep the Plat Edge card.

      If Woolworths accepts the use of e-gift cards for the purchase of these, then a $100 e-gift card (only $95 via cashrewards) gives you $5 for ‘free’. If you have an AMEX which gives 3 points per dollar spent at supermarkets, you can also accrue points this way (subsequently using the visa gift card to spend at other places)

      Another use is to use them online … some sites/apps like uber give you a sign up bonus, but restrict your ability to create new accounts via unique emails/phone number/credit cards.

      Pre-paid credit cards help circumvent the unique credit card check (of course, that's only until divipay starts working again).

  • clx on 27/08/2018 - 18:28

    I haven't found a way to effectively use these VISA gift cards.

    There seems to be no way to consolidate the balance on multiple gift cards. Or to spend > the gift card amount and pay the remainder on another card.

    This means that you will spend most of the credit on the gift card, but then find that you have a small remaining credit of, say $1.75, that you cannot really do anything with.

    • blighst on 27/08/2018 - 18:30
