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.

    Going to get negged to say this but here it goes.

    Bought 200 at one venue tonight.
    Yes if you put through multiple it takes ages to validate.

    I put them through one at a time.
    Wasted about one roll of paper. Took 2 hrs.

    Worth it for me

      Would have been funny if you got mugged on the way to your car / it caught fire on the way home and they went up in flames / you were in a traffic accident and the tow truck driver took them / your house burns down or gets burgled before you can spend them. Good luck claiming the $20k back on insurance.

      • demiurge on 30/08/2018 - 21:52

        No that would not have been funny

          Not sure if it is me - when I tried to use it online - the car insurance company for example - not successful as they cannot split the bill, went to pay council rates - they have to take one at a time , process it before allowing me to do the next one , a bit efforts seems to me - any pro tips here please ?

        • Samsungnote10 on 30/08/2018 - 11:22

          @AllWins:
          Yeah some website payments you need to wait a few hours before their system allows you to put another one

          I essentially put $100 on each bill and 1x payment on all my bills.

          You can go through a lot of cards that way

      As log as its Only 1 Visa and the $100 cards your good to purchase. If you look at the packaging its just different branding. I believe the green is generic and the orange is branded for Birthdays while the one with the champagne image is branded as congratulations.

  • jacktator on 30/08/2018 - 22:26

    I bought 20, with Manager knowing, in Sydney.

    Bought 10 with Amex Edge. Then went in again and got another 10, went to another register.

    Manager saw me and said can only buy 10, I said I'm purchasing for friends using diff card(My Supp Card).

    She insisted that can only buy 5 more and left, cashier and me went ahead and purchased the 5 and another 5 anyway.

    So the '10 Card' limitation is really just a manual restriction, can social hack it.

    • SydOzber on 30/08/2018 - 22:48

      Yes it’s just a system limitation
      I scanned 11 cards and the system didn’t let me in .

    Even if you guys are paying with plastic, and not tons of notes, I can just imagine how dodgy this looks to the people on the registers (and also how much time it must waste).

    If it were 5.95 off the actual $100 (i.e. pay 94.95 for 100 of credit, then its good). But all the effort to just convert credit from an AMEX card to a Visa, so you can earn AMEX points at places that usually don't accept it.

    Just wait till the cops come raiding the supermarkets. AUSTRAC must be working overtime with all the money laundering alerts ( Woolworths is supposed to submit suspicious matter reports since they sell gift cards - but I doubt the high school kids on the counter knows anything about AML/CTF Act).

    I was thinking of possibly using the deal to transfer the 5% off Woolworths Gift Cards to 5% at other places (e.g. Coles, which looks like you can only buy discounted gift cards if you are with some companies rewards programs, e.g. AGL). But even thats a lot of work, and people have said they wont take egiftcard as payment.

    Plus, with all nonsense you are doing, you are bound to likely lose track of one (or multiple) gift cards, and that will make you lose $100 and wipe out the value of all your points.

          Im about to pay my Strata bill. $1000, If I pay with my amex I get charged 3% fee. (example).
          And I only get 1000points.

          If I buy 10 x $100 cards I will get 3000 points.
          And if I pay with visa the fee is 1.5%.
