Saw this today at Coles.
15% off gift cards including Nintendo eShop, The Kids/Teen/Him/Her/Cinema/Pamper/Pub/Bar/Restaurant gift cards and Google Play gift cards ($50-100 only)
Starting 25/11 ending 1/12
UPDATE: cards not activate or not scanning/discount at checkout. Coles are pulling all cards out and refund. Some people reported some cards are fine. Wait until this is resolved. Such a shame.
UPDATE 2: some people reported that JB-Hifi has lifted the restriction on $500 max Gift card purchases, so you could try your luck. Please buy max 5 cards only and leave them for other people (including me, haha, got none so far) so everyone can have a smiling Black Friday purchases.
PARTY IS OVER. Well done to those who got the cards. Pity to the people who could not get the cards (me too, tried 5 times, gave up, friend gave me few cards). What a good deal with such a shameful operation that left many people frustrated.

#Mod 24/11: "A maximum of $500 of Cards may be redeemed at JB HiFi (including online) in any one transaction". See pinned comment below.
Okay I’ve had a look at TCN’s T&Cs,
TLDR: if you wanna play safe, buy 5 $100 TCN gift cards to use at a physical JB in one transaction. Rinse and repeat on another transaction with another 5 $100 TCN gift cards.
1) A maximum of $500 of Cards may be redeemed at JB HiFi (including online) in any one transaction
2) Cards cannot be used to purchase gift cards issued by JB HiFi
To my understanding this means you can only use physical TCN gift cards to buy stuff from a physical JB (and a maximum of $500 TCN cards can be used in one transaction).
There’s no more running around a few Coles to hunt down 30 HIM cards to buy a $3000 laptop, no more converting to JB physical or digital gift cards (possible if HIM digital cards were in the Coles promotion, which they aren’t). Unless the store doesn’t know about this or doesn’t care.
I think you can only use physical HIM gift cards at physical JBs. It says “including online” because it covers eg. HOME cards which do allow you to swap them out for JB digital gift cards which of course you can use online. But HOME cards aren’t in the Coles promotion.
So the best way is just buy 5 $100 HIM cards (limit 5 per customer at every Coles anyway) and buy stuff in one transaction at a physical JB within 3 years, as TCN gift cards expire in 3 years. Of course you can buy another 5 $100 HIM cards at another Coles and use them at another / the same physical JB in another transaction.
