15% off Nintendo eShop, TCN The Kids/Teen/Him/Her/Cinema/Pamper/Pub&Bar/Restaurant, Google Play Gift Cards @ Coles

8329

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.

    Just managed to grab 15 $100 from my local coles. Lady had to put them through as 10 and 5 due to system limitations but nothing mentioned about the 5 card limit.

    I am aware of the new $500 limit but I’m purchasing 3 products so $75 off each item is better than nothing I guess.

    • You should feel really good about that

      • Just passing on info

    • Love how I got negs but people buying 20 got upvoted, great stuff Ozbargain!

  • +1

    Stacks at Coles Cambrige Gardens in NSW, 50+ cards after I bought 5

  • +1

    Local Coles had hardly any and about 20 people waiting out the front if you can believe it. Stopped by on the way home after work.

    Obviously all blow ins as they all ran for the main display and skipped the small one near the service desk.

    Managed to get 4 x $50 cards and a $30 Nintendo eshop card. Would've liked to get $100 ones but happy enough as I've got $200 of stuff in mind from JB anyway.

  • +2

    There's a decent amount at Coles Crows Nest and North Sydney… Although looked like one bloke was going in for multiple rounds in crows nest so won't be long ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    • +1

      I do hope JB rigorously enforces the 5 card limit. There's no need to be greedy.

      • +2

        My impression is 5 card limit on purchasing the cards. I can't see JB giving a damn beyond low level employees moaning about running so many cards through the terminal. End of the day, JB gets their money.

        • except the terms and conditions say:

          A maximum of $500 of Cards may be redeemed at JB HiFi (including online) in any one transaction

          Wouldn't be surprised if they can enforce the limits through their POS systems

          • @renza: Makes sense. Where are the t&cs anyway? I've scanned the site multiple times and only find a half assed FAQ on usage

            • +1

              @jetblack: Right at the very bottom of their website. Below privacy.

        • Only we don't know what kind of haircut JB cop on actually processing these cards.

          It has to be in the realm of 10%.

    • just been there, all gone, except some 20$/50$ teen cards.

  • +1

    Malvern (Vic) had plenty of $100 cards but the checkout person initially said 5 was too many and required the manager to come down and read the catalogue for them. Must have been the first customer to buy them. There was a couple behind me that bought a stack too, so looks like they are enforcing the limits there.

  • My coles was stacked. Had no idea they were on sale. No signage etc.
    easy get. Thanks OP!

  • Preparing myself for black fridag queues

  • +1

    Coles Vic Gardens all good, had heaps of stock of the HIM $100 cards only me and one other guy at 6am no issues with buying 5 cards girl just asked me what I wanted to use them for I said Christmas presents.

  • +1

    Sold out@ Hurstville, Station & Westfield, Syd @ 6AM
    Holy shit!

    • This promo lasts a few days. Stock may return. Try again later

  • In qld, one hour behind you guys. Good to know all these. How many are you guys stocking? I may go for $1500 in maybe 3 different coles.

  • For those with Zip pay, you can get a further 5% off since tap and zip gives you 5% off. Might be targeted.

  • +1

    Got 5 him cards at coles Lisarow NSW, plenty of stick here

  • Ozbargained almost. Can I use 1 her 100 and 4 him 50 cards in jb for a TV?

    These are the only ones available

    • I think it's ok

      • $500 not 5 cards. He/she is talking about using these card at JB

  • At coles , couple of guys buying the TCN card couldn’t go thought , coles system said it failed to activate. Bought few restaurant cards and Him cards , no problem or question asked. But second of 5cards failed

  • Having issues with purchasing the gift cards online. If i buy the physical cards in coles store can they be used to purchase items via the online JB hifi store?

    • No, instore only

      • damn thanks.

  • +1

    Tried to purchased $50 him cards at coles. 5 failed to activate. She told me to try 5 more and they also failed

    • Their activate system is getting ozbargained.

    • Can we activate later ? Or separately ?

      • They all come pre activated as soon as you buy from coles. No need to activate them. On back of the card it says no value until you activate at the counter.

  • I'm wondering if Coles Central will do this sale as well?

  • Failed to process through

  • Him cards not working prob overloaded. Got her catds instead

    • Did those work?

      • Got oz bargained

    • Kids and teen also works for JB purpose

  • Same issues, they're implementing a 5 cards per transaction at the moment, and the Him didn't load. Can try for Her to see if that works.

  • +1

    Picked up some GCs, $100 were hidden behind all the 30s and 50s, sneaky buggers.

  • Just tried purchasing 5x him cards at Wanniassa Coles it declined so then asked him to put 1 through that failed again so I don't know what's going on there. They we scanning at $85 though go figure?

  • Just tried 5 him cards at $100, didn’t go through, declined to activate :-( asked to try again on different register, still didn’t work

    • I had the exact same issue with the "HIM" card. They don't register when they are scanned. The "HER" worked fine though

    • DDOS'd

      • Means those giftcards have expired. There was some new legislation and retailers were supposed to restock new cards

  • There was quite a lot available at Riverview in Windsor around 7:05 (both 50 and 100.) Nobody was really there other than a few old folk whom were uninterested. I was the only one there going for them. Reasonable chance there’s still some left. I purchased 5 myself.

  • (profanity) locusts bought them all out

  • Does the self serve checkout work for buying these?

  • I just bought some $50 ones (all out of $100 at South Melb), but the checkout person didn't go through an activation process, does just buying them not activate them straight away?

    • Has to be activated.

    • Cards get activated as you buy them

  • Anyone tried to convert some to JB gift cards yet?

    • -1

      Can not/ do not need to convert to JB card. Use straight away

    • Will be trying in 15 minutes, driving to coles now. Will update

      • Cheers! I'd rather convert to 3*$500 than try using 15 of these cards at JB

        • +1

          You can't exchange the TCN gift cards for JB gift cards

  • Ok serious question. Now that these cards are not working. Any other ways of reducing TV prices further at JB/TGG/HN apart?

    • Not working? Have. You tried HER/KIDS/TEEN?HIM is not the only option.

      Looks like I am the only one at my coles. I will try HER stright

  • just cautious guys, Him cards -$100 are not coming up with discount.

    • Mine discounted, but failed to activate at POS

      • mines are activated with out discount.

        asked to comeback later on today, hopefully they sort this issues.

    • +2

      Make sure youve selected the right card. Confusingly, there's something like 3 different him/her branded cards from different card suppliers, only one of them has the discount. You need to get the one with the JB logo on the front.

    • +1

      you probably got the "other" HIM card. I couldnt believe there are 2 different HIM cards from different brands. One is like an Itunes card ( the pne we want ) and the other is a fat brown thing with some kind of paperwork inside.

  • +1

    Anyone else have issues with cards not loading in store at Coles?

    • HER gifts card declined now too

      • Well, it's not fair for qlder, we just started.

      • I got HER ok, only HIM failed when purchased 10 mins later.
        I guess system glitch

      • HERs now declined too

  • All being declined at POS, they said they are calling head office.

  • Coles Top Ryde have pulled all the cards from the shelves as none of them would activate. What a cluster fork.

  • Tried $50 ultimate teens at local Coles and no discount was applied.

    No discount banner in store either.

    • +6

      It’s not the ultimate card. My post earlier was negged when I warned people to make sure you get the correct card 😞

      • +1

        U r right, I got the wrong cards!

        • Were you able to get a refund? I got ones off a mob called bananalab. Just saw 'Him' and picked them up. Store wouldn't refund because 'we can't refund giftcards' and asked me to call bananalab.

  • Can you purchase using Coles gift cards ?

  • Manager said to come back tomorrow morning while they try and get it sorted.
    Said they'd keep some on the side for me.
    Tried the 'Her' card straight up.

  • +3

    All the Talk about JB, has anyone noticed Drummond Golf is on the HIM? Time for a new Driver!

  • +1

    Has anyone tried to register the card online and has come up with a $0 balance?

    • Yeah just tried that with one of mine. Hopefully we haven't stuffed it by registering the card

    • There is a system wide issue. Had my money back cause none of the cards would activate at the register. I guess the cashier that served you was still sleeping… (or they deactivated retroactively)

      • What a shamble

    • Yes, registered a Her card and says $0 balance :-/

      • Hopefully it’s a glitch and they’re honoured.

        How not to run a promo

        • Just checked again and balance is showing correctly now :-)

    • Just registered mine and the balances are right.

    • Yeah if you check your coles receipt you'll notice that it'll say declined

  • -1

    Discount is not working. It’s showing $50 per card.

  • Got 5 HIM GCs but failed to activate. Tried 5 HER GCs instead and they works fine. So don’t get the HIM yet until they fix the issues.

    • Lucky you. They refunding every at my local coles cause none of them activating…

  • Some issues with the card….Coles is issuing full refund.

    • they cant issue a refund if the card is activated with out discount.

  • Cards been taken off the shelves here in Hobart 😭

  • Failed loading $value on The Him cards.
