    Anyone buy Woolies Gift Card last night and still waiting on the gift card to come through? So far have only got the first ‘order confirmation’ email.

    • TEER3X on 23/04/2022 - 10:21

      Bought a shopping card from this website, then used that to buy discounted Woolies card, both came through pretty quickly

      Same gift card from woolworths hasn’t arrived , only shows order confirmation , but it says can take 48 hours

      • JHoliday on 23/04/2022 - 12:13

        I just called Woolworths and they said they been having some IT issues that they trying to fix and I just need to wait 48 hours because GC hasn’t been issued yet

        I mentioned I know of others who placed order after me and have received them already but they had no explanation for that.

          Yes I’m still waiting from purchasing last night too.
          I usually buy them every week and they come through within 10 minutes, so was getting worried. Thanks for the update

          • JHoliday on 23/04/2022 - 19:52

            @Amanda1992: Just to confirm, mine GC from Woolies eventually came through tonight, so took around 24 hours.

    Worked fine. Paid $115 for $135 gift card, then went to woolies gift cards online and purchased $135 Woolies supermarket card. Enter as credit card purchase.

      Not the best. You lost 3-5% value.

      • eddieboy2 on 26/04/2022 - 08:34

        No I didn't. Swapped $135 cash card for $135 Woolies supermarket card….got 100% value!!

          What Neokia is saying, is that you buy discounted “Woolworths” or other cards with the special card.

    • CodeXD on 23/04/2022 - 10:42

      It would have also worked through cashrewards/shopback to buy gift cards for that extra cash back. I did it for eBay gift cards.

      • eddieboy2 on 26/04/2022 - 08:35

        Yes but they don't offer Woolies gc.

  • Ernestpogi on 23/04/2022 - 12:28

    I'm thinking of using this to get a shopback super swap card and then convert it to coles for an additional 2% discount. My question is, would I be able to use that converted coles gift card to purchase the current coles mastercard giftcard that gives 2k flybuys points? Thanks..

    • Coops1 on 23/04/2022 - 14:09
      +2

      You can, but Coles attendant may refuse if they know your going to use a gift card for a gift card.
      Just make sure the gift card has the full amount of your purchase on it, can’t split payment buying gift card (manned or self checkouts).

      • truetypezk on 23/04/2022 - 18:27
        +1

        You can split at manned checkouts, I always do that. Not self though.

        • Yola on 24/04/2022 - 11:17

          But in some stores they will not allow the use of a GC.

          • truetypezk on 27/04/2022 - 23:56

            @Yola: No store officially allows you to use a GC. That's another issue you have to figure out by yourself.

        • io on 27/04/2022 - 23:23

          Spot on.

    • CodeXD on 23/04/2022 - 14:15

      You will have more luck asking this in the coles mastercard giftcard deal rather than here. The payment nor what you are paying for is related to this deal.

    • Yola on 23/04/2022 - 14:35

      You can. Have the full $105 on the card go to self-service and use the Coles GC when the staff member is not watching. In some stores, they try to stop you.

    • wavesgreen on 23/04/2022 - 14:36

      Officially no, but there have been some reports that the new self-service checkouts allow you to buy giftcards with giftcards. Haven't tried it myself.

    • povertytrap on 23/04/2022 - 16:24

      More and more Coles checkouts not allowing this now.

      • wavesgreen on 23/04/2022 - 17:49

        It used to be that no checkouts would allow it, there would be a system pop-up to stop it that couldn't be overridden. Then with the new updated self-service checkouts ~6ish months ago, those would.

      • powerinnumbers on 23/04/2022 - 17:52

        you know that you have to use Apple Pay or Google Pay right.

  • Alinnia on 23/04/2022 - 13:47

    I've finished using a Special gift card but it's still showing under my "Active" section. Looking at Special's FAQ it says "Once you have used all the remaining balance of an Special Card, this will then be visible in the “Past” section of the wallet." But this isn't working it would appear.

    Is there a way to manually move the spent gift card to the "Past" section?

    Super shopper gift card even works at Starbucks 😮. Seems not limited to retail. Chemist warehouse website doesn’t accept it tho.

      I used mine at BP. Which is not one of the listed retails on Super Shopper.

      I got a exclamation mark at first on my phone when I used it to tap to pay. And I was like oh no I need to use a different payment, but when looking at the screen on the handheld payment machine itself it was processing then payment went through.

    I tried to create a new account using email (Desktop, Chrome). Couldn't do it - the website wouldn't let the process to continue after I put my email in.
    It looks like they have a lot of tecnical issues.

      I figured out that the website didn't like me using VPN just in case someone else has the same issue.
      Purchased the $133 super shopper card, turned it into a Woolworths Gift Card, cards emailed immediately. Good deal.

    I used the super shopper to buy a $135 Amazon gift card. I will always spend at Amazon and means I don't forget to use it/checked it worked straight away.

    • TEER3X on 23/04/2022 - 18:51

      That's pretty clever.

      I wonder how many unused gift card balances are out there, and how many expire because people forget to use them.

      It's a good business model.

      This, can also use shopback to buy $100, $30 and buy the remaining $5 to buy GC from amazon themselves

      • chorong on 24/04/2022 - 19:52
        +3

        Buy a $5 Shopback Super Swap instead. Still has 2% cashback like Amazon and you can swap it for a $5 Amazon GC since it's just a Prezzee gift card

    I got my special gift card and used it on Woolies Gift Card website for a Woolies card at 4% off. The website accepted and order is confirmed but I am yet to actually receive it after 7 hours. Typically only takes 5 minutes for Woolies cards, though it does say up to 48 hours to clear. I wonder if anyone else getting Woolies cards experienced this delay today?

  • FujiFruit on 23/04/2022 - 18:11

    Hopefully next time we can buy unlimited cards

  • Mike Okkerts on 23/04/2022 - 18:24

    Nice. $160.41 Woolies for $114

    • DoctorCalculon on 23/04/2022 - 22:24
      +1

      $160.41

      If my maths is correct that is almost 20% discount for a Woolies GC. How did you score that?

      • daanish on 23/04/2022 - 22:45
        +4

        They spent $114 to buy a $134 Shopper card (Card A). Then they created a second account and paid for a second Shopper card to the value of $154 and paid $134 for it using the initially purchased Card A. So a $114 spend buys a $134 face value card which is used to buy a $154 face value card. That $154 card is then used to purchase WW gift cards at a 4% discount from whichever platform they are using giving a $160.41 WW GC for an initial outlay of $114.00

        • truetypezk on 24/04/2022 - 01:39

          High value cards tend to attract unnecessary attention and if anything went wrong you will suffer greater loss. I think it is safer to leave a bunch of cards with about $100 inside and cash them out at Woolies self checkout.

          • Alinnia on 24/04/2022 - 02:24

            @truetypezk: I'm assuming you're referring to doing cashout from the Super Shopper prepaid mastercard and not Woolworths e-gift cards at Woolies self checkout… So I just need to buy something from Woolies then can cashout the rest of the Super Shopper card? Can it give cashout including coins e.g. $92 or can it only give notes e.g. $90 and $2 left on the card?

            • wavesgreen on 24/04/2022 - 02:51
              +1

              @Alinnia: No they mean 'cash it out' as in buy stuff with the credit. You can't get cash out from Coles/Woolies without a physical card.

            • truetypezk on 24/04/2022 - 11:00

              @Alinnia: Cash out as in move the money out of special gc control.

        • ja912son on 24/04/2022 - 11:08
          +2

          I think they closed that loophole already (use special gc to buy special gc). Tested it this morning on Edge, and Firefox, also normal ones and incognito windows as well. None of them are working anymore.

          • daanish on 24/04/2022 - 12:00

            @ja912son: Yeah, I noticed it last night. Went to try a third card with the second for a triple stack and it wouldn't go through.

              +1

              @daanish: Lol gotta be quick. Actually it doesn't really matter since the stacking basically just reduces the amount of cash you need to move out of their system. It really doesn't matter to the company if you buy it with a special gc or a credit card, they are still losing the same amount of money per purchase.

              @daanish: Not sure why you got negged.

              Do you happen to remember the exact error message?

                +1

                @DoctorCalculon: I made a similar comment about this earlier in the thread and copped some negs there too. Maybe someone is just morally against stacking deals or they got it to work again but didn't feel like actually commenting to say that said experience was not shared by them.

                To your question though, I believe it was "Ooops something went wrong with your payment" or something very similar to that. I confirmed that I didn't get charged on the card and checked details then tried it again but kept running into the same issue. In the end I just paid with my CC.

          • truetypezk on 24/04/2022 - 12:00

            @ja912son: That's pretty fast. Did you try it with ApplePay?

              @truetypezk: Nah, mate.

                @ja912son: ApplePay used to work, I burnt some midnight oil on Friday and managed to cash out everything before the apocalypse. The check out assistant was a little suspicious about the bunch of $100 payments I made but didn't give me any troubles. Had enough fun and not going to touch this again.

                  I burnt some midnight oil on Friday and managed to cash out everything before the apocalypse

                  What apocalypse are you referring to? Are we about to be all turned into zombies from COVID-19?

                  You keep using the words "cash out". There is no cash out with these Special GCs.
                  You can try adding funds to your Revolut account via Apple Pay. It won't work with Super Shopper as they closed that loophole from the very start.

                  bunch of $100 payments I made but didn't give me any troubles

                  None of their business how you pay, as long as you pay.

                  I am not seeing the bargain angle ("bargain maximisation") with your multiple $100 payments.

                  • truetypezk on 24/04/2022 - 22:16

                    @DoctorCalculon: I am referring to the no-more-free-and-easy-money apocalypse. Also heard some already their accounts suspended.

                    I loosely used the word cash out to refer to getting the money out of their control so they can't suspend you and forfeit your profits.

                    The moral of the story is if you wanna do something funny, do it early and fast.

                    As for multiple payments, it is always a big red sign of fraud and the business is exposed to credit card chargeback risk. Of course for a Woolies check out assistant that would be overly zealous.

                        @wavesgreen: Yes that’s correct. You need an Apple phone to use Apple Pay. From what I can see, Apple Pay is the only way to use a Special Gift Card to buy another Special Gift Card (maybe Google Pay too, idk)
