Edit - purchase through Shopback app for a further $3 bonus!

Good opportunity to pick up some gift cards that are rarely discounted.

Posting this deal separately to the Dan Murphy’s flash cashback deal as this deal is now live and has a different expiry date.

Other notable Shopback deals -

  • NET-A-PORTER - 17% cashback on full priced items.
  • Groupon - 15% cashback stack with 10% off sitewide between 10am-2pm AEST (promo code QUICK10).

PS. I am aware there may be another ebay promo starting 11/5. Hopefully the ebay gift cards will have arrived by then!

    Not bad for Amazon GC considering there is no cashback on Amazon purchase anymore.

    • bargain ben on 24/04/2020 - 08:13

      Entertainment Book has 4% discount on Amazon cards

      • milogrr on 24/04/2020 - 08:42

        Just checked - 3%? There is a 1.25% processing fee too

  • MJ1 on 24/04/2020 - 07:34

    If you use gift cards to pay, do you still get CR/Shopback and discount codes?

    • Domingo on 24/04/2020 - 08:30

      Generally no

    • wtfnodeal on 24/04/2020 - 08:50

      Yes for gc payment and depends on if discount code is stated on the cash back website

    I stopped buying eBay and amazon gift cards, they pushed me purchasing stuff which I would have avoided. Saving was not huge compared to spending. Good deal for those who are good in self control and buy only what they need and that's not me.

        Yeah that’s me, last time I bought a $120 Kathmandu jacket impulsively. Oh huge savings here I come.

          Same here. I buy a lot of stuff that I never knew I needed.

      • CafeNervosa on 25/04/2020 - 12:37

        I reduced my purchases on Oz Bargain by now checking the site only once a week (Hello Ozb Saturday). I miss some deals that expire quickly (although I have the home page hide expired and sold out deals).

        I then also set email alerts for products I’m keen to buy at the right price (10TB WD HDD for Linux Distro’s)

      "got one already but bought another 2 cause it's such a good deal". I love a bargain like everyone else but hate seeing these comments on things like screwdriver sets or anything that you definitely do not need more than one of. so yeah, I agree with you on your point of not spending is the better way to score a bargain

  • verio on 24/04/2020 - 07:53

    As a reminder, you can instantly buy a gift card (3% discount) for Amazon using Suncorp rewards. It is faster and easier than waiting for a cashback but one 1% less.

  • glenn955 on 24/04/2020 - 07:53

    How does it work if I have a $100 card and buy something for $20. Will there be $80 in balance on card?

    • Sidor on 24/04/2020 - 08:00
      +1

      Yes

    • glenn955 on 24/04/2020 - 08:00

      And can I add 2 cards if an item is $200?

      • SBOB on 24/04/2020 - 08:11
        +4

        for amazon? you can load up several cards into your account gift card balance.
        I did it back when there was a (?10%) cash back promo last year on amazon cards and only just finished using them all last week. Just loaded them all in on day one and didnt need to worry about them.

        • NigelTufnel on 24/04/2020 - 08:24

          For eBay too.

          • glenn955 on 24/04/2020 - 08:36

            @NigelTufnel: thx.

          • tokziktigah on 24/04/2020 - 09:19

            @NigelTufnel: How do you load for eBay? I’ve never seen it before. Can it be done on mobile app or only desktop?

            • jace88 on 24/04/2020 - 10:10

              @tokziktigah: You can add them at check out and then any unused balance stays on your accont. Any refunds in the future also automatically come back to your eBay account. Catch is you can't split eBay GF betweeen multiple accounts as a result.

    $100 GC OOS

  • dangerdanger on 24/04/2020 - 08:03

    Thanks OP. I don't have suncorp rewards and often buy stuff from Amazon AU GC.

    • dangerdanger on 24/04/2020 - 11:31

      And Shopback acknowledged purchases email within minutes!! Good work!

  • Zippy7 on 24/04/2020 - 08:09

    Thanks. I never bothered before since paying by GC means no cashback…
    But now I have a small incentive to get these cards.

    It says 4% for gift cards, but also 1.5% for group B, which also lists gift cards?

    • maccam01 on 24/04/2020 - 08:26

      It would be great to get some clarification from SB on which giftcards are at 4% and which are at 1.5%

    • pegasusx on 24/04/2020 - 09:14

      I can confirm the eBay cards are 4%

    • Store Repgotyourback @ ShopBack AU on 24/04/2020 - 10:09

      Please disregard the gift card mention in Group B - gift cards are certainly 4% (from 1.5%) today and tomorrow.

    Two comments
    - Anyone know if you can use the Amazon Gift Cards for purchasing Amazon US product?
    - Westfield gift cards can be used as eftpos gift cards to shop pay at many other retailers (An old hack). I bought some during the last sale and used them to pay council rates etc, just don't show the retailer you are using them when paying. Hope it still works.

    • milogrr on 24/04/2020 - 08:23

      I think you can if you are purchasing a Amazon US product via Amazon AU

    • jasonb on 24/04/2020 - 09:10

      Re Westfield, it does (I've done the exact same thing) but looks like someone like you beat me to all the Westfield cards!

      • [Deactivated] on 24/04/2020 - 09:22

        Normally you'd be on the money, but yeah I haven't bought any today

    • hoangdekiem on 24/04/2020 - 22:34

      How to use it to pay council rate? I dont see gift card option on the bill. Thanks

        • hoangdekiem on 25/04/2020 - 07:22

          Thanks John. Is there a surcharge fee for using the giftcard? Normally council charge 1-2% for using debit /credit card

          • John Kimble on 25/04/2020 - 07:53

            @hoangdekiem: I've never done it, but I assume so (if it works). I don't think you are understanding the situation here?

            You are basically using the gift card outside of it's intended use, because although they say "only to be used at Westfield", they haven't restricted it (unless it's been fixed now).

            So you would be up for any surcharges associated with using a "debit/credit card", because basically the merchant cannot identify it as a Westfield gift card and thinks its a debit/credit card.

            It would be like trying to use an opal or fuel card for anything but travel or fuel (but I assume those don't work, because no one has posted about it).

            Make sense?

            • hoangdekiem on 25/04/2020 - 07:58

              @John Kimble: yes it does. Appreciate your reply John

              • John Kimble on 25/04/2020 - 08:01

                @hoangdekiem: Do they even have CVVs printed on them? Most online purchases require a CVV to be entered…

                • hoangdekiem on 25/04/2020 - 13:00

                  @John Kimble: I dont know. it is sold out. cant buy any. i am asking for future deals

                    @hoangdekiem: Hi All, When I've used it I did so at an Austpost LPO, no fees/surcharges from what I can remember…that was earlier this year. the Westfield card is essentially a preloaded debit card, think you press either savings or cheque then the associated pin number. Has to be used in store can't be used online if you intend to use for this purpose. thanks

    Thanks OP will pick up some Amazon GC's.
    FYI anyone interested, these are physical cards and took weeks to come last time and came in a huge box/envelope which was ridiculous. When you get them you just input the number or scan into your Amazon account, very easy to add.

    • mememe123 on 25/04/2020 - 11:17

      This is a crucial point that wasn't mentioned anywhere else, so thanks! I assumed they were digital and I could use to buy something today.

    • BreadTwo on 24/04/2020 - 09:09

      Do u have a Shopback account then long and visit Au post website through the ShopBack. pay the full amount. later u can get cashback from Shopback.

    • Merlict on 24/04/2020 - 09:11
      +1

      So you sign up to the cashback website. When ready to buy you click thru the cashback site, buy the product, then a few days to weeks later the % is added to your account.

      You can then withdraw that 4% to your bank account.

  • Ausdave on 24/04/2020 - 09:57

    Hi all,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand:

    • Shopback only applies cashback rate after GST component is removed
    • Therefore a $100 will be $90 (exc. GST), then 4% on $90
    • This will come out to be 3.6% (which is still not bad)
    • Merlict on 24/04/2020 - 10:02

      Correct.

    • Store Repgotyourback @ ShopBack AU on 24/04/2020 - 10:13
      +6

      Cashback for gift cards applies to the full amount (not the pre GST amount), so it's 4% still.

        @gotyourback

      There's no GST on gift cards

  • littlesoldier on 24/04/2020 - 10:09

    One of the issue holding me back on buying GC from AU Post
    is they are physical gift card and it takes time to be received from post
    and it also required to call their CS hotline to activate

    So for a 3.6% discount (CB after GST) with lots of procedures
    I do prefer to get digital GC from Suncorp app which has 3% discount
    also able to set any preferred amount and get it instantly

    • Store Repgotyourback @ ShopBack AU on 24/04/2020 - 10:14
      +2

      Cashback for gift cards applies to the full amount so it's still the full 4%.

          yep, I've had to call for Amazon GC and the one time I did they struggled to find the order so took 10+mins to actually activate

          • nepalesesquirrel on 24/04/2020 - 10:36

            @SBOB: Is that on $50 cards or higher? I think I've read that the larger cards ie $200 need activation over phone, not that you can buy here anyway.

      Shame because I'm going to be spending like $5000 on amazon an $1000 on ebay. So any % savings are big savings.

  • Zippy7 on 04/05/2020 - 16:00

    Query for the regular GC buyers from Aussie Post.
    I purchsed eBay and Amazon in one order.
    I received eBay only this week, no mention of split order, but the letter inside only noted the eBay.
    Presumably I will get another email notification and my Amazon cards in the next week or so?
    Don't suppose we can call anyone to check in this enviroment.

  • rhyme324 on 10/05/2020 - 20:21

      I tried to redeem two of my giftcards (Amazon) only one of them worked. I called them up and they have put that note on my order number and have requested I send the faulty card back for them to replace.

      • rhyme324 on 11/05/2020 - 09:53

        Yeah same here. I just called. They can active ultimate card. But can’t do the amazon one. Need to send it back.

        • fatice on 11/05/2020 - 21:44

          It seems the automatic activation before posting only applicable to the card on the top of the stack.
