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.

        Have you tried this?
        Mine says no pin functionality available..
        which sort of limits this to online only :|

        • Associatedkendo @ Woolworths on 27/08/2018 - 19:06

          You can split the payment, when the machine asks account, you select Credit, ask for Pin, just press OK, the transaction will go through and ask you to sign signature. It works at ALDI as well as you may know ALDI does not accept AMEX.

        • iSamurai on 27/08/2018 - 19:07

          That means you press credit and OK. Some POS machines will process the payment straight through, some will require a signature on paper. Been doing it like this no problems.

        • cwongtech on 27/08/2018 - 19:34

          @iSamurai: Ah I see
          Pressing credit is fine then? :D

        • iSamurai on 27/08/2018 - 19:53

          @cwongtech: yeah, same as the Australia post gift cards. Only the eftpos cards do you press savings.

        • cwongtech on 27/08/2018 - 23:20

          @kendo:
          Do you press "OK" as a blank pin..?

        • samehada on 27/08/2018 - 23:33

          @cwongtech: yes, you just press ok without PIN but it happened to me before at self-checkout terminal that requires me to sign in the signature pad which is not working.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 03/09/2018 - 13:45

          @alice in wonderland:

          no fee but you will need to sign for each card you used.

        • alice in wonderland on 03/09/2018 - 13:53

          @LoveBargain15:thanks have you tried to pay energy australia bill ? is this visa only 1 card is credit card ?
          On my bill it say : A merchant service fee may apply to credit card payments : master card or visa .
          ANY fee applied will be shown on your next bill .
          I chat with energy australia but they said not except gift card payments . thx for help

        • Purple on 03/09/2018 - 13:55

          @alice in wonderland: Yes, you can use it to pay for energy Australia bill. I have used it to pay for energy aust bill before and it works. The payment was treated as a visa credit card.

        • alice in wonderland on 03/09/2018 - 14:00

          @Purple:thx for reply . so energy australia charge 0.36 % on your next bill ? when did you pay the bill ? did you pay at australia post branch or pay online at POST BILLPAY ?thx

        • Purple on 03/09/2018 - 14:02

          @alice in wonderland: I paid the bill online. I paid $100 in total. They will list the merchant fee on your next statement.

          @Purple: ok thx will check with them before pay .

    • salmon123 on 27/08/2018 - 18:41

      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.

      Woolworths/Coles self-checkout. Hit the split payment button, enter the amount, and voila remaining balance used.

      For consolidating, you could try buying a 1x$500 card from AusPost with 5 x $100 cards from wollies, but that'll cost you another $5.95. Not sure if the staff will allow it though.

      You can always split the payment at Woolies. I clean up all Visa Cards with small amount by splitting payment at self check out, just select Split Payment (eGiftcard) and enter the amount you pay, it even works for only $50cent.

          @wdmhbbbwctcdlbc: I received my UBank replacement debit card because the old one expired. A new requirement to activate the payWave function requires pressing credit and entering the pin.

          I couldn’t remember the steps so one went through as savings, the other as credit and the third to confirm using payWave…

          TLDR I tried it with my UBank debit card.

    $90 for $100 gifts card

    • syba on 27/08/2018 - 20:20

      The first one is $100 card and you get $10 worth of flybuys points, but you also have to spend the $5 "purchase fee", so you still spend $95, not $90
      The second one targeted and is a $100 card and you get $5 worth of flybuys points, but you also have to spend the $5 "purchase fee", so you still spend $100 for $100.
      Single use per Flybuys card
      The above Coles ones you have to spend $105 first of all then get $5-10 back in points to spend in store later (one time only). The Woolworths ones you spend $100 for $100 back and no limit the number of uses (except max. 10 per transaction).

        • salmon123 on 27/08/2018 - 20:36

          Some free trials try to pre-authorize an amount on the card, so that wont always work.

          Better to sign up for the free trial, then spend the balance down to $0

        • [Deactivated] on 27/08/2018 - 21:19

          I always do it.
          I also use it for 'trialing' Amazon Kindle, Audible and the like.

          They pre-authorized anywhere from a few cents up to max $2 I had. So, make sure to leave $2 in it.

          Still better to cancel the said trial to avoid any liability.

    So, if the e Gift Card still works, I can spend $95 to buy $100 e gift card then I buy this visa Gift Card,
    And then I used this gift card to purchase a wwl e gift card valued $105,and then I can spend this105 e Gift Card to buy another visa Gift Card and repeat this process ten times?

    If it only works.? (provided you can used this visa card to buy e gift card online AND wwl allows you to validate visa Gift Card by paying wwl e gift card.

    Maybe that's why it's banned?
