    I’m going to dump this comment here, as it should answer a lot of people’s questions regarding purchasing gift cards at Coles when there is a bonus Flybuys points being run…

    Flybuys Dollars

    • 2000 Flybuys Points is equivalent to $10 Flybuys Dollars (which can be redeemed at a number of retailers).

    • Flybuys Points can only be converted into Flybuys Dollars in multiples of 2000.

    • Flybuys Dollars cannot be used for any gift card purchases at Coles, as it will be blocked by the POS system and will return an Invalid Product Mix error.

    Earning Flybuys Points

    • Any purchase of any gift cards at Coles supermarkets will not count towards any bonus Flybuys points offers other than the one mentioned in this deal. In other words, targeted Flybuys offers at Coles (e.g. spend $120 in one transaction to earn 3000 bonus points) always exclude any purchase of any gift cards.

    • Flybuys points earned on in-store transactions at Coles are not credited immediately after a transaction is finalised. Flybuys points earned as part of this promotion (as well as the base Flybuys points) should be credited to your Flybuys account around 6:30pm AEST/AEDT on the day after the transaction.

    • If you forget to scan your Flybuys card during the gift card transaction at Coles, take the receipt and your Flybuys card back to the service desk at the original store of purchase and ask the staff to retroactively add your Flybuys card to the transaction.

    Other Flybuys Information

    • Scanning your Flybuys card when purchasing third-party1 gift cards at Coles will usually cause the minimum spend on targeted Flybuys bonus points offers to go up, because that's how Flybuys has set up their algorithm for determining the minimum spend requirement.

    Paying for Gift Cards

    • Coles’ self-service checkouts do not allow split payments when purchasing gift cards under any circumstances. Staff cannot override this limitation.

    • Coles’ standard checkouts (i.e. the checkouts with a dedicated staff member who packs your groceries for you, or the service desk) are able to do split payments when purchasing gift cards.

    • The following gift cards issued by Coles Group Ltd cannot be used as a payment method for third-party gift cards, as the POS system will return an Invalid Product Mix error:

    Gift Card Name Gift Card Prefix2
    Coles Groceries & Returns Gift Card 6273 4000
    Coles Groceries & Returns Gift Card 6273 4005

    • Gift cards issued by Coles Group Ltd clearly state in their terms and conditions that they cannot be used for purchases of gift cards, so staff members may stop you from paying for a gift card with a gift card issued by Coles Group Ltd.

    • Customers of Coles Financial Services products can instantly redeem 2000 Flybuys points for a $10 discount when purchasing any gift cards at Coles.

    Odds and Ends

    • Gift card purchases at Coles will earn 4c off per litre (or 8 bonus Flybuys points per litre) fuel vouchers.

    Using Apple Gift Cards

    • You can up to 8 gift cards (in conjunction with an Apple Account Balance and/or a credit/debit card) online or over the phone at Apple.

    • You can redeem up to 8 gift cards (in conjunction with a credit/debit card) in-person at an Apple Store.

    • You cannot redeem an Apple Account Balance in-person at an Apple Store.

    • You can load multiple Apple gift cards to an Apple Account Balance, but the maximum balance is $4999.

    • Apple gift cards have no expiry date.

    1. Third-party gift cards at Coles are defined as gift cards that are not issued by Coles Group Ltd. If you have a gift card where you can check the balance here, it was issued by Coles Group Ltd. ↩

    2. The gift card prefix is the first eight numbers of the gift card number. It is not the first eight numbers of the gift card barcode number. ↩

    • phaol7ta on 10/10/2021 - 10:33

      how about staff discount on GC purchase mate?

      • WookieMonster on 10/10/2021 - 10:33

        No idea. It’s been years since I’ve used a staff discount at Coles (and that was my friend’s staff discount).

        • Neoika on 10/10/2021 - 11:07
          +1

          No discount, but it applies to mobile starter packs. If one scans a staff card number to buy all non-eligible items like 3rd party giftcards in a purchase, it does not even show on the receipt (as if it is not scanned).

      Thanks Wookie, i was about to ask all those questions in that exact order.

    • Brakus on 10/10/2021 - 10:40

      Sorry, dumb question… if I load up my apple account with these gift cards, how do I use them to pay for a new apple device like an ipad? And can I do split payment if my apple account balance is not enough?

      • WookieMonster on 10/10/2021 - 10:47

        if I load up my apple account with these gift cards, how do I use them to pay for a new apple device like an ipad?

        You can either:

        • Directly redeem the gift cards in the online store checkout, over the phone or in an Apple Store (as long as you are in the gift card limits), or

        • Redeem the gift cards into your Apple account, and then use the balance in your Apple account to pay for an item online or over the phone (but not in-store). Do note that it is generally not possible to move the funds from your Apple account back to the gift card, so you have been warned.

        And can I do split payment is apple account balance is not enough?

        Yep, you can use one credit/debit card to pay for the rest if needed.

        • easoweno on 10/10/2021 - 10:54

          can you actually use money in your apple account to pay for a new ipad/iphone? I thought you can only use it in app store!!

            @easoweno: Apple updated their terms and conditions on 09 July to allow you to use the balance associated with your Apple Account for purchases of Content (e.g. in-app subscriptions, apps from the App Store, iTunes music) and Products (e.g. iPad, iPhone).

        • skyl on 11/10/2021 - 00:06

          I was testing out Apple website purchase options, and found next to the Gift Card option has this statement:

          You can use up to 8 Apple Gift Cards. Apple Store Gift Cards can't be used with Apple Pay or split credit card payments.

          Does that sound like you can't actually pay any residual amount with credit card?

          • WookieMonster on 11/10/2021 - 00:17
            +3

            @skyl: I just did a test order, and I see what you mean.

            If you look at this page on the Apple website, you’ll see it lists the following under the Using more than one payment method:

            You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:

            • Credit card(s) - up to two
            • Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
            • Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + one credit card
            • Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + Apple Account Balance
            • Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight + Apple Account Balance + one credit card
            • Apple Account Balance + one credit card

            Apple Gift Cards and Apple Account Balance cannot be used with Apple Pay or split credit card payments.

            When it says on the checkout page Apple Store Gift Cards can't be used with Apple Pay or split credit card payments:

            • It is supposed to refer to any gift card from Apple (i.e. Apple Gift Card, Apple Store Gift Card, App Store & iTunes Gift Card), and
            • “Split credit card payments” refers to paying with multiple credit/debit cards, not splitting payment between an Apple Gift Card and one credit/debit card.
            • Anonymous101 on 12/10/2021 - 10:05

              @WookieMonster: I am planning to buy an iPhone 13 pro which is $1699. I was thinking of buying gift card using zip pay 10% offer. From my calculations to maximise both of the offer I need to buy apple gift card in $300 (200+100) denomination. So for 1699 I will have to buy 6x$200 gift cards and 5x$100 gift cards so total number of gift cards will be 11. Now my question is with a limit of 8 gift which can be added to apple account, does it mean I will have pay remaining balance from a credit/debit card ?

              Also would Coles allow me to buy 11 apple gift cards ?

              • squarepants on 12/10/2021 - 10:09

                @Anonymous101: Only 5 gift cards from the sounds of it. Unless you've got 2 other Flybuys account.

                Apart from that roadblock, logic seems sound. If you've got more than 1 Flybuys account, you can get a variable gift card for the last $99.

                • Anonymous101 on 12/10/2021 - 10:17

                  @squarepants: So I can create new flybuys account and easily bypass both roadblock?

                  5x200$ gift card - account 1
                  3x200$ gift card - account 2
                  1x100$ gift card - account 2

                  I just figured instead of buying 300$ card per transaction I can buy 8x $200 gift card and then 1 $100 gift card and be still eligible for ZIP 10% discount.

                  • WookieMonster on 12/10/2021 - 10:42

                    @Anonymous101: Creating a new Flybuys account is one way of getting around the 5 Gift Card limit, but you’ll need to remember that each Flybuys account needs to be associated with a mobile number.

                    I’m not sure if you can use the same mobile number for two Flybuys accounts or have two accounts under your name, but if you have another household member (e.g. partner, housemate, kid, pet) and can access a second mobile number for two-factor authentication purposes, who said you couldn’t create a Flybuys account under their name…?

                    Otherwise your approach makes sense, particularly since $100 and $200 gift cards are easier to find at Coles than the variable value gift cards. Just keep in mind that as soon as you want to use more than 8 gift cards to purchase that iPhone, you will be restricted to purchasing it online or over-the-phone from Apple (and not in-store).

                      @WookieMonster: I will try creating another flybuys account with a secondary phone number. Thanks again :)

              • WookieMonster on 12/10/2021 - 10:29

                @Anonymous101: My response takes into consideration the fact that Coles changed the terms and conditions of this deal in their catalogue after the OP made this post to include this clause:

                A limit of 5 Gift Cards per customer applies.

                When Coles has included this clause in previous bonus Flybuys points deals, you would only get bonus Flybuys points on a maximum of 5 Gift Cards for each Flybuys account. If you bought a sixth Gift Card using the same Flybuys account, you would get no bonus Flybuys points.

                Therefore, let’s assume you can only earn bonus Flybuys points on 5 Gift Cards.

                If you want to take advantage of the Zip Pay 10% offer and stay within the 5 Gift Card limit, you should purchase 5x variable value gift cards with the following values:

                • 4x variable value gift cards with $300 loaded onto each gift card. You’ll get 9000 bonus Flybuys points (and probably 300 standard Flybuys points on top) for each gift card, plus $30 Zip cashback.
                • 1x variable value gift card with $499 loaded onto it. You’ll get 14970 bonus Flybuys points (and probably 499 standard Flybuys points on top), plus $30 Zip cashback.

                However, I have never seen variable value gift cards at some Coles supermarkets, so I have no idea what your local situation is like.

                It is unlikely you’ll see variable value gift cards tomorrow lunchtime, as people will likely clean out the variable value gift cards at Coles first thing tomorrow morning (unless you hide five variable value gift cards in the freezer section or something silly like that). My suggestion is you check back at multiple Coles’ over the remaining days of the Zip and Coles promotions.

                would Coles allow me to buy 11 apple gift cards ?

                It is highly unlikely they will let you do that in one transaction or one visit, even if you point out the bonus Flybuys points promotions.

                • I think the maximum number of gift cards you can buy in one transaction at Coles is five.

                • If you scan three gift cards at a Coles self-service checkout, it will display a message and ask the checkout attendant to intervene. All Coles checkouts will also print a message on the receipt saying you should be aware of gift card scams. You may even get a flyer from the checkout attendant educating you on gift card scams!

                • Some staff may interrogate you if you are trying to buy gift cards at Coles. I purchased 2x $250 gift cards at Coles one time, and the checkout attendant interrogated me as to whether I was aware of gift card scams!

                Now my question is with a limit of 8 gift which can be added to apple account, does it mean I will have pay remaining balance from a credit/debit card ?

                Not quite.

                You can redeem up to 8 gift cards in one transaction for Products (e.g. iPhones) online, over-the-phone or in-store at an Apple Store. However, there is no limit to the number of gift cards you can redeem onto your Apple Account.

                If you have insufficient balance on your Apple Account or your Apple gift cards for an online or over-the-phone transaction, you can pay for the remainder using one credit/debit card.

        If you scan your Flybuys card that is associated with the CFS product and go to the payment screen, there should be a message popping up on the screen asking whether you’d like to redeem 2000 Flybuys points for a $10 discount in that transaction.

        The message should pop up if you’re at a self-service checkout or a serviced checkout.

      Hi WookieMonster,

      May I ask if you need to activate this offer before claiming the flybuy points? I didn't get the points 1 day after the purchase, but when I called the help centre, they told me I cannot get any point, because I didn't "activate" it. I couldn't remember it needs to be activated, so would like to confirm with anyone who successfully get the FB points.

      Many thanks,
      Y

        “Activate”? What kind of rubbish did they tell you?

        This deal does not require you to “activate” it, as it is not an offer targeted to specific Flybuys accounts.

        I would suggest you go back to Flybuys and remind them that the offer terms and conditions clearly state:

        To qualify for this offer you must present your Flybuys card at the time of purchase.

        There is no mention in the deal terms and conditions that you need to activate the deal first. For reference, for targeted Flybuys where you do need to activate the offer first, it says this in the terms and conditions:

        To qualify for this offer you must activate this offer and present your Flybuys card at the time of purchase.

        Quick question: did you scan your Flybuys card (and the correct Flybuys card) before you finalised payment when you purchased the gift card(s)?

      Yes

    • ozbargainsam on 10/10/2021 - 11:03

      Not quite.

      If you spend $100, and get $15 back in FB points.
      Next shop you spend $15 and redeem your points to get it free.

      You spent $100 to get $115 of goods. A $15 discount on $115 of items.

      Which is 15/115 or ~13% discount.

      • lovebargain87 on 10/10/2021 - 11:18

        You don't have to spend $100 to get $15 the second time. You can get something $10.01 and get $10 off from FB.

        Then you still have flybuys equivalent of $5 in your account which you can use again next time you reach $10 worth of FB.

        So you can still get full 15% off if you want go down that path.

        • wtfnodeal on 10/10/2021 - 11:36

          It is still less than 15% off as the total spending $100 + $10 = $110 and you are getting only $10 off $110 with $5 worth of FB points stuck in FB account until more spending is made to accumulate to $10 worth of FB points to use in future.

        Imagine it this way: imagine the promo was 'spend $100 on an Apple GC and get $100 back in FB points' (extreme example). For most people who do regular grocery shopping, this $100 in FB points is as good as cash. In other words, they would get something for free (the Apple GC), despite having to spend $100 with Coles again on their next purchase. According to your logic, this is only a $100 discount on $200 worth of items, so a 50% discount. You probably see why your logic is flawed now.

        • ozbargainsam on 11/10/2021 - 12:54
          +1

          Nope. Because you know what 100% discount means? You pay nothing.

          100% cashback means you spend $100, get $100 to spend later. But you still spent $100.

          Adding it up:

          Shop 1: spend $100. Earn $100 cash back.
          Shop 2: get $100 items. Use $100 cash back. Spend $0

          What was the value of goods you got at the end?
          How much did you spend?

          Value - spend = savings
          $200 - $100 = $100

          Savings / total value % = discount %
          100/200 = 50%

            @ozbargainsam: That's why I said 'for most people' and 'as good as cash'. I think you're only disadvantaging yourself if you calculate things this way (stating that you get a 50% discount on both your Apple GC as well as your grocery run).

            • assailantsky on 11/10/2021 - 14:47
              +1

              @bozbargain: You also said ozbargainsam's logic is flawed…

              His/her/their logic is not flawed and the math is correct.

              • bozbargain on 11/10/2021 - 15:57

                @assailantsky: I disagree. Just stating that this deal only gives you a 13% discount without specifying that it's a discount on both the GC and future groceries is confusing at best (if you can't compare apples with oranges, you also shouldn't combine them). If you're in the market for a $500 Apple product, you can buy a $500 GC and this deal will give you $75 off in groceries (stackable with any other promo that may be on for that Coles grocery run). If someone then asks if this is 'effectively 15% off', I believe the answer to that question is 'yes'. 'Effectively' implies that the person understands it's not a cash discount but is happy to take the discount in future Coles purchases, which for most of us is a given shopping run every single week.

                • ozbargainsam on 12/10/2021 - 18:54

                  @bozbargain: Yes, if you're talking to a regular person who doesn't care about calculating the minutiae of bargain calculations, then yes, I may just let it slide because that kind of pedantry to normal people IRL makes you annoying.

                  But if I'm splitting hairs about 2% on this forum, then 'effectively' is already out the window. Is price matching OW iTunes GC 'effectively 20%' or 'actually 19.25%'?

                  How do you apply your logic to 'buy one get one free' promotions? Is it 'effectively 100% discount'?

                  Applying your logic to a 100% cashback makes my point easier. Shop 1: spend $100, get $100 for later. Shop 2: Use $100 cash back on $100 = $0. So, 100% discount on second shop and 0% on first shop. Or 100% discount on first, and 0% on second…or, if you're still following…50% off both shops.

                  So technically '15% discount' is absolutely wrong. There is no 15% reduction in cost as a result of this promotion anywhere.

                  • eRadicant on 25/10/2021 - 00:56

                    @ozbargainsam: That's really not a good comparison, Coles credit is as good as cash as I could easily trade it for its full value in cash with a close friend or family member.

                    This is because:
                    * The pricing of Coles groceries is unlikely to increase due to the existence of this promotion
                    * This promotion doesn't meaningfully decrease the value of the groceries bought with the credit
                    * FlyBuys credit does not exclude you from any other Coles promotions or discounts

                    You would need a severe oversupply of Coles credit for your equation to come into play. So if I were to receive 100% worth of Coles credit for a Macbook purchase, it would effectively be a free Macbook.

        No.

        That assumes that you don't get any future flybuys points on what you spend with flybuys dollars, but you do.

        For simplicity sake, say you bought 10 x $100 cards for $1000 for $1000 value, you got 2000 points for each one and 20,000 points in total, so $100 in FB dollars.

        And then next time you shop, you then spend $100 on (free) groceries and buy another $100 gift card with the $100 you saved on the groceries and then you get another 2000 points or $10 off. So you got a full 10% off in the end from the 10 original gift cards and the bonus gift card which you effectively didn't pay for and got another $10 from.

          It depends on the type of “Coles” gift card you are trying to use, as there are four different gift cards issued by Coles Group Ltd that can be used at Coles!

          • You cannot use a Coles Groceries (or Coles Groceries and Returns) Gift Card to pay for any gift cards at Coles. I tried that a month ago and got an Invalid Product Mix error.

          • If you are using the barcode for a Coles Gift Card, Coles Group & Myer Gift Card, or a Coles Group Gift Card, the answer is maybe.

          • If you are using a physical gift card and swiping at the checkout, the answer is yes.

          However, don’t forget that you cannot do split payments at the self-service checkout when purchasing gift cards at Coles. You’ll need to go to a serviced checkout to use multiple payment methods at Coles.

      I don't think so. Nothing stopping you from buying $31 with a variable gift card to get past the minimum.

        That was what I was thinking.. i just couldnt find the minimum

    • WookieMonster on 10/10/2021 - 17:41

      I actually think it would work.

      Each gift card denomination (i.e. $20, $30, $50, $100, $200, variable value) is its own product at Coles, and from the way Coles has worded their terms and conditions, I think Flybuys would only exclude the $20 and $30 Apple gift card products, rather than check for the amount you actually pay for an Apple gift card. Also, the variable value gift card is shown in the catalogue, and there is no minimum value for the variable value gift card mentioned in the terms and conditions. If there was a minimum for that gift card, Coles would have been diligent enough to mention a minimum.

      Do you want to be a guinea pig and try it out?

      • PeeDee on 10/10/2021 - 12:32

        So basically 15% of GC you bought that's put into FB pts. And thus, you could say products on the Apple store are 15% off.

      Keep in mind that gift cards issued by Coles Group Ltd (including Coles eGift Cards) clearly state in their terms of use that they cannot be used for purchases of gift cards, so staff members may stop you from paying for an Apple gift card with a gift card issued by Coles Group Ltd.
