Scan 3 Vodafone sims then scan 3 Netflix gift cards
So sounds like either way will work. Thanks for clarifying.
Can u pay using woolies egiftcard?
No.
Picked up 2. Thanks OP.
Went to a Perth Woolworths and they increased the price to $15
Marsfield (NSW) Woolworths has them labelled as $15 but they scan as $10.
From earlier comments it seems there was a pricing error to begin with but the system has been updated to $10 per catalogue price.
My local Woolworths had the same $15 price label. Still scanned at $10
Pricing error means first item free then 50% off next few items.
Working fine in Emerald, QLD. $10 total. Heaps of stock at old Woolies
bought 21 today. beware, Netflix seems to block your IP after redeeming 3. Even cleared history/cookies and logged out
I switched to other PC's and redeemed but the blocking repeated on those too.The credit gets applied though
Did you buy in 7 transactions and with or without rewards cards ?
yep 7 separate, 3 stores. didnt try doing more though so unsure if it would work or not.
So did you eventually manage to redeem all 21 cards?
yep
How did you manage to do that?
You can only add $273 Max credit on Netflix iirc
I guess it takes long time to activate the gift cards at Woolies check outs.
Took about 30 seconds both times to activate all 6 cards.
not sure what the neg is about, but no, it didnt take that long. Varied between purchases, maximum about 1 minute.
That time is probably of lower consequence anyhow.
I also spent around 2 minutes in each the store, bringing the total 3 minutes.
All stores were enroute whilst I was on foot, so there was no cost there.
And on average it took about 1 minute per card to add credit.Based on the saving of $10 (Excluding any use of the Vodafone kits), that 5 minutes equates to approximately $120 per hour of value to me, which is pretty reasonable I think.
Previous comments indicated no more than 2 in 36 hours?
at Woolies check outs
was what they asked, meaning the activation of the cards at the retailer, not adding them to the account.
However, you can bypass the 2 in 36 hour account activation limit by gifting it to yourself from another account, I did this with mine.
I’m not sure what you mean here
I was trying to reply to dnutter question about getting blocked
I think we are all on the same page…
@scanuck: Sorry Ozb put you on the 2nd page so thought you were replying to me. Like I said, you can bypass the 2 in 36 hour account activation limit by gifting it to yourself from another account, I did this with mine.
Wasn’t my experience—I successfully added 4x $20 Netflix gift cards to my account this evening. Didn’t have to gift them to myself or anything and Netflix act now showing $80 credit and paid up to end of January 2020…
Not sure what I’m going to do with all the SIMs but happy with half price Netflix!
All sold out in my area due to greedy pricks who buy more their fair share
Snigger. sorry, I am one of the greedy ones. I am just doing what Ozbargain has trained me to do. In this case isn't really a "fair share" or "being greedy" as nothing is going waste as it's effectively 50% off Netflix (Plus some SIMS as Backup). Why buy just one when one can buy say 12. It's the Oz bargain thing to do I would have thought. I stand proud :-)
PS: I know what you mean though as I often miss out due to those other Proud Oz Bargainers getting in first!Define "fair share"
In Soviet Russia, the government takes all the gift cards, and gives you $5 gift card. This. Is. Fair.
?
Alternative translation: I’m salty that in a capitalist market I was unable to capitalise on a deal, and I am willing to call names to those who beat me to the choice cuts.
What's the point of setting up a Turkish account when this deal keeps coming up
Am sure it is a delight to use tho ;)
I don't see this kind of deal as "keeps coming up". Unless I missed out on ozb.
ww metro, ie a smaller store had them scanning at $15 but the big store had them at $10. staff had no clue
Annoying that Metro is not included.
Yet catalogue only explicitly talks about not being available at fuel locations…and the rest of T&C is deliberately vague.
Not available in Woolies Randwick, available in Eastgardens and Bondi. For guys who living in eastern suburbs, Sydney.
no luck at Woolworth QV, Melbourne cbd. could not find any $20 netflix cards on the shelf. anyone got successful in melbourne yet?
I tried looking at QV but couldnt find any. Also tried the MC one but they only had the netflix gift cards.
Heaps in Niddrie Woolworths when I went this morning.
Woolies Gordon Centre in Sydney Northwest had plenty last night.
Scored several in The Glen Woolies. Advertised at $15 for the sim but scanned at $10. Heaps left still.
Cheers OP
Got 12 so pretty much sorted for the next 2 years
Plus have 12 Sims which means 35gb per month, free $5 red rooster voucher, free $5 oporto and bday meal, free hey you coffee or credit, possibly some uber freebies and etc
BTW heaps left at lakemba woolworths
Isn’t there a limit of 6 months period since purchase you need to activate the Vodafone sim?
Woollies catalogue says 6 months, but packaging says "Starter Pack expires 365 days after purchase if not activated."
So it’s pretty strict with the 365days?
is there a wiki page or a list of what signup bonuses we can use new mobile numbers with?
When I add "Netflix Gift Card" shows an error message and trying again later. On the receipt, activation could take up to 24 hrs so do I have to wait?? anyone has the same issue?
Some others reported you can add 2 gift cards per 36 hours. Attempts to add more result in "error message"
Netflix gc never expire
Just add them as you need
Thank you. I added 2 already and wanted to add 3 more…and got an error message. I will wait for 36hours.
I ended up adding more after just 27 hours
Does it have to be the exact $20 netflix card, not the one that lets you choose amount to put into the card right?
yes
No other payment method needed when creating Netflix account using card.
So I suppose you could get 30 days free with every one, if you did not mind losing your history and spending a little time?This is gold. This will make each card last 2 months. Free the first month. Second month it will charge $18 from the $20 credit. Make a new account after 2 months. Gift the left over credits to the new account. Cancel the old one. Rinse and repeat. This will make it cheaper than the VPN deals. New email every 2 months is not hard work.
Time to get disposable emails!
Does this actually work?
I was blocked saying it seems you have already had a free trial.
Signed up with new email address (+***@gmail.com) and credit card detail.
But I used same device.
They seems to detect device mac address as a same person.It's worth a try. Was going to do it before but I will run out of credit card numbers so i thought it wasn't worth it. But with 9 netflix gift cards, I will definitely try it.
@nine6eight: I wii try once my second free trial end.
(They offered free trial one more time to my inactive account)
Gift the left over credits to the new account.
There are no "left overs". Netflix will keep working for a fractional month. $20 buys about 42 days.
Cancel the old one.
And no need to cancel, as you have no payment method except the gift card.
Thanks. That’s even better. If it works that is.
I tried to create a nee Netflix account with different email address and credit card, Netflix has always detected as an existing user. I bet they detect it with the IP / MAC address. It's different with Stan, which I can still do that monthly.
Excellent deal. Got 9 in 3 transactions.
For the experts in sim hopping, can I port out with a cheap sim and then port back to Vodafone on the same day? The sims are still good value. 10 gb for 30 days. Would like to use them if I can.
Would like to know this too..
Yes, I do it every month, Telstra is the only $2 starter you can activate without recharge, takes me about 30min.
Would there be issues with other sims say like Amaysim?
If you order Telstra $2 simcard, it is free delivered.
Ok thanks.
I guess I am asking if any other sims would work too..
@ilovefullprice: I guess he means ‘why bother, Telstra is only $2, they even deliver it for free, what else would you want from a disposable ‘port in and back out’ sim?
@bozbargain: I have spare amaysim sims lying around, so thought of using them rather than getting the free Telstra sim
I think Amaysim $2 you can activate without recharge too?
My local Woolworths had around 10 to 15 in stock after I took my 3. You can find out which one it is by looking in my history I think but otherwise please don't share it.
What's the maximum practical limit? There's a max credit with Netflix and when does the gift cards expire? According to Easternculture Netflix gift cards never expire and reading the terms and conditions on the card it doesn't seem to have an expiry date. Any more confirmation?
On mobile so might be terse.
Awesome. Just grabbed 3x3. There were heaps on the shelves.
(Seperate transactions).
Might do a “Woolies run” on the way home. Stop at every woolies on the way(Nsw south coast)
Anyone else experienced this?
I entered one code that failed on first attempt but then worked on second attempt, now I am seeing the below error when visiting https://www.netflix.com/redeemNetflix Site Error
We were unable to process your request.
Please go to the Netflix home page by clicking the button below.Yes, you can only do two attempts every 36 hours. Either gift it to yourself on another account to skip the wait or wait 36 hours to activate another two.
Dang, so even a failed attempt counts as an attempt? I only activated one card. That sucks. Guess I'm waiting. Thanks.
I just added my 3rd at 27 hours and it was still willing to accept another.
So, maybe it's now 2 attempts every 24 hours.
I think I had the worst luck. Bought 2 pairs and all four had their serials fail. Took a while to fix it all up, which was not helped by the peak hour shopping.
We’ll see if I get any problems redeeming them tomorrow.
What did you have to do to get them fixed up?
Am asking as I now have four Gift Cards that have returned the 'Invalid Code' when I try to redeem them.
I suppose I will have to return to the WW store I purchased them from, which is a real pain as it's not easily reached from where I live.I also have another four cards to try, but Netflix's restriction of 2 attempts to redeem within a 36 hour period means I won't know if they are valid for another 72 hours - I'm currently getting the 'An error occurred during gift redemption - please try again later' message if I try again.
gift them to yourself from another account.
Thanks, I saw this suggested earlier. How do you do that? I've tried to redeem via another user on my account, which doesn't get around the restriction.
Do I need to open another account? If so, where within the account do you gift them to another account?
@MicMac: I think you sign out of netflix and clear your cookies, then go to netflix.com/redeem? It activates the card and then prompts you for an email address for the account you want it to assigned to.
@mapax: Thanks mapax
Didn't work until I cleared my cookies (via the control panel).
But only worked once. I'll try reboot as well as clearing cookies and see how it goes.Not happy - six cards have finally been recognized and currently have seven with invalid code response, with one card to submit.
I have now spent hours chasing something that should have been very straight forward.
Will be phoning Netflix contact/help tomorrow to try and get it sorted.
Cheers
MM@MicMac: Did you fix it? I have the same issue one card "invalid code" response, contacted Netflix they said the gift card is not activated but receipt shows activation was successful. I think I have to go WW to get activation again. Y_Y
I am guessing that the Netflix voucher can't be used for overseas account? Please someone confirm. Thanks.
Someone wrote in this thread that you can't.
You can't. You pay in AUD credit, you pay AUD prices.
You can't mate. You pay in AUD credit, you pay AUD prices.
Thanks for confirming guys. Can't double dip I guess :-p
Anyone hit the maximum Netflix credit limit to know what it is? I know the cards don't expire, but always feel leaving them around unredeemed is just asking for me to lose them.
Do you not have a draw or safe that you put important things in?
Apologies if already asked - if I'm already paying by Credit Card, then add $20 from the giftcard, will that be used first for billing? (before the CC)
Yes, exactly.
Awesome, thanks!
I keep getting an error and they don't add, ive redeemed $50 gift cards before on the account when bought from Woolies/Coles so i don't know why im having this issue. Anyone able to offer any advice?
Grabbed 6
Does anyone know if I can go to a 365 day plan with the $30 sim card? On the site it is a $40 plan….
No. 180 days. So your 6 cards will last 3 years.
I did Vodafone, then Netflix, then vodafone etc, but I doubt it mattered.
The checkout activating 12 things did take a while.
