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.

    • 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.

  • Can confirm gift cards are down, restaurants work. Local coles is saving mine until it’s fixed as I was charged

    • +2

      I would hate to be IT or customer support for TCN today.

      • +2

        Absolutely, they are about to get the full force of ozbargain

      • +1

        Well, you can't get through TCN CS number anyway on a normal weekday…

  • $50 her cards were working but they have stopped working as well

    • as well as $30 kids cards!

  • No luck at Her, seems all down and manager won't sell it today. Lol. I think no qlder could score one.

    • I have, however could not take them home as they didn’t activate. Local store will call me when the issue is resolved. I was at the door at 7am QLD time

      • Of course that's the same story to me. going to buy some eBay card at wws

      • 3 X HIM $100 just activated fine on check out. Qld. I haven't tried redeeming if that's what you mean?

    • Just bought some from logalholme Qld store successfully . Apprantely their is glitch if you buy them in 5 or 10 lots ..try buying in 2-4 and trying buying through the service desk …worked for me in the second time

  • Issues with Him ($100) and Her ($100 and $50) cards.

  • They are shelving all the promo cards including HER cards .

  • +3

    Any point going in today now?

  • Also doesn't work

  • Tried at Wynyard CBD NSW

    Coles express lady said they are not part of promo zzzz

    • Coles and coles express run different deals

    • haha I was there at 8.20 and got told the same. Funny cos yesterday I saw a lil sign at the top of the rack '15% off', but now they are not participating…

    • Is that an express or is that a central?

      • Express at Wynyard station

  • Do the Him cards expire?

    • 36 months from month of purchase.

  • Can restaurant card be used at any restaurant or cafe across Australia that accept EFTPOS?

    • Yes, I even used them at fast food places like Maccas.

      • Just found out that apparently they're doing an update so fastfoods won't work on restaurant cards.

        I found out because a few of the places I previously bought with the card didn't work anymore.

        Even a lunch "bar" apparently is classified as a "bar" and won't work, even though I've used the restaurant card at a tavern before and it worked.

        Starting to worry if the places that accept this card will be more limited now with the update.

  • Only found $50 at my local. Couldn't find any $100. Google play and switch. All checked out fine

  • Just bought a kids card. Was approved all good checking out. Checking the balance online… $0.00

    • Haven't tried checking my balances, but I'm going to presume it's all good and that balance shows $0 for many cause their system is down right now. 🤞

      • Can confirm "Balance is too low for this swap request" maybe there's a backlog of activations.

        Edit: Kids card has come through

  • Must have been lucky that some activated early this morning. Perhaps their system not used to having so many activation requests at once.

  • Got mum to grab 5 Him cards on the way to work. They tried telling her she could only get 3 until she showed them the catalogue clearly states 5. Discount applied and charged credit card but GC's 'failed to activate'. Then the girl said couldn't be refunded as it was a gift card. Her supervisor wasn't there and apparently noone knew what to do. Eventually when someone worked out how to override the system for a refund they pulled all TCN cards off the shelf. She was in store for nearly an hour trying to sort it out. Not worth the nightmare!

    • +1

      That's ridiculous, she's 100% entitled to a refund!

  • +1

    bought 5x$50,5x$100 HIM card from 2 stores. All checked out alright.

    • how did you get an upvote and I got negged when I said a similar thing?

      • It's the way you said it.

        • was I supposed to apologise to who it offends at the start? Ah well it is what it is.

  • +2

    I knew there'd be drama. Didn't expect this much!!

  • I managed to get 5x50 Teen cards from Coles Gladesville… very hard limit on not getting another 5!

  • Her card working fine for me

    • $100 HER? just now?

  • -1

    F…K Coles and TNC. Such a shame.

  • +2

    Got 425 refund issued(haven't reflect on my cc balance) brought one Nintendo card and went wws, brought $500 eBay (10000pts). That's my earlybird today.

    • How do you get refund?

    • Why 10,0000 points?

      • Promotion on

    • Yeah, no problems at Woolworths if you are looking for ebay cards

  • Would you call this, tightarse karma? 🤣

    • No karma for me, working fine when i bought her cards

  • Coles North Syd and coles crows nest have pulled all the cards from the shelves as none of them would activate not worth extra hassle.

  • +1

    Arana Hills Qld plenty of stock of every card, no 15% off sign but applies on check out. No issues on check out.

  • +5

    Bought 13 "HER" cards in 1 transaction, swapped them all in 1 transaction at JB Hi-fi for a $1,270 purchase. Rolled the dice on it and paid off. I went to the Coles and JB at Airport West. I guess it depends on whose on register at the time.

    • Did they question it or no?

      • +1

        Not when I was there nope. Although I feel it might just be a case of right person right time.
