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.

          Ask the banks and ask retailers what their definition is first. Because ultimately it's them you are arguing the definition with.

    If you have an amex card it makes much more sense to just buy 10 cards and use them where amex is not accepted.

  • billybrown on 28/08/2018 - 12:12

    Am I missing something here or can you load these all up onto paypal, then withdraw from paypal into a bank account? All with no fees?

    • Turd on 28/08/2018 - 12:14

      Yes you can, but dont do this.

      • SydOzber on 28/08/2018 - 13:03

        any reason why ?

    I have used them before and never had any trouble

    This time is a bit different, always give bonus Woolworths points which is better in value.

    Local WW is really slow in activating the Only1 cards this morning. Anyone has same experience?

    • kerfuffle on 29/08/2018 - 10:06

      Mine was active when I checked on the Only 1 Gift Card site

      • lilkid28 on 29/08/2018 - 10:38

        What I mean is the activation after making payment in store. Staff told me it will take 2 mins per card. Pretty much 20 mins for 9-10 cards I bought in the transaction.

      • Associatedkendo @ Woolworths on 29/08/2018 - 15:26

        Are you sure? Normally I leave it for 24hours before checking it, it has been reported that if you check the card before 24hours, it could lead to invalid card. Maybe it is fixed now. I will try one now.

      Yes, mine took about 10 minutes, I am not exaggerating.

      • lilkid28 on 29/08/2018 - 10:38

        Same, it took pretty much 20 mins for 9-10 cards I bought in the transaction. Was on self serve. What about you?

        • New Chump on 29/08/2018 - 10:47

          I purchased 10 on self-serve this morning. Took 15 - 20 mins for the activity slips to generate. Painful wait.

          It always took a while for the activity slips to generate, but never this long before. Something has changed on the timing front (I assume linked to the recent software changes that eliminated gift cards being able to be used to make a purchase).

        • yoyo6 on 29/08/2018 - 10:51

          yes, self serve

        • cwongtech on 29/08/2018 - 16:36

          Self-serve as well.
          Can confirm, 13-15 minutes or so.

          Did you go to the self checkout and do 3 transactions?

        • cheapfab on 29/08/2018 - 10:42

          And what do you use the 3k in Visa cards for? I'm keen to exploit the deal as well but with my local woolies not allowing gift card purchases with egift cards I need another way to recycle the Visa cards quickly but don't have that many imminent expenses

          @potm:

          You’re right it’s 80k with Cathay but with Qantas it’s only 70k which is a bargain.

          @nightelves:
          Being a one world bronze I couldn't get availability.

          Also no time to do a RTW though would've loved to. And this is for 5 pax all in J.

          Also didn't want to go direct as we have a 2.5yo so plenty of breaks to split the trip up

        • nightelves on 30/08/2018 - 08:49

          @daft009:

          Have a look at other frequent flyer awards as you can get cheaper award redemptions and low taxes e.g. Alaska Miles, Cathay Pacfic, American Airlines to name a few. Qantas charges way too much taxes.

          @nightelves: my program of choice is krisflyer.

          so went to another store today at lunch and they wouldn't sell me more than 5/day gaah. had around 150-200x $100 on the shelf!

          even rang woolworths help desk and said it is in deed upto the store manager

          @nightelves: Alaska is good but there is no way to transfer points to that program except via SPG travel package which is no longer a viable option after the devaluation.

        • nightelves on 30/08/2018 - 14:08

          @samehada:

          Marriott Rewards is still a partner of Amex last I check and I’m pretty sure they’re a transfer partner of Alaska Airlines as well.

        • samehada on 30/08/2018 - 14:10

          @nightelves: yes they are still partner but the transfer ratio now is very rubbish.

          It is better to transfer to Asiamiles but Cathay also charge a very high YR carrier surcharge unless the flight originated from HK.

        • nightelves on 30/08/2018 - 14:12

          @samehada:

          So there IS way a to transfer to Alaska then. Well here I thought you can’t.

    Worked with gift cards 5606, took a good minute or two for each to activate though - you gotta be a little shameless to wait at the register for that long.

    Staff required to verify prior to selecting payment method (gives them a note saying to confirm the visa cards activated correctly after sale).

    Edit:
    Did 5 the second time and it got stuck on activation screen, took a good 5-10 minutes though eventually went through… Maybe do one at a time.

      It seems so, my egiftcard purchase yesterday did get 3pts so it maybe just a system glitch from 23-26-Aug. You need to keep checking your points to be sure.

      Plenty in stock (50+ easily), 5606.

  • Mad Max on 29/08/2018 - 17:12

    Why are these cards so good anyway?
    If you cannot pay with the eGiftcards the only benefit is points for buying them (for Amex) unless you are Woolworths staff and you get a discount.
    Is it worth the hassle and long wait for activation?
    Or am I missing something?

    • sween64 on 29/08/2018 - 21:24
