            @CodeXD: better instant $10 for $150 from prezzee Than 2% for super shop back card.

  • Bought a custom amount 'Super Shopper' to use at JB and the card got declined.

    • +1

      It'll work @ Prezzee and you swap to JB.

      • I bought the wrong card and I will swap it, Thanks!

    • +1

      to use at JB you needed the Tech Head card.

      • Got it, I will use prezzee/shopback to swap it to JB

        • +1

          It may still not work on SB if you purchase JB on it directly. You may have to purchase Super Swap. Alinnia's comment above is very helpful.

  • curious to know if anyone successfully getting their money back from this company , due to account disabled?

  • +2

    I have few dispute charges. And just received explain letter from AMEX, it states the charge back is not successful.

    • -1

      Does it tell you why? So what are going to do next? APRA, ASIC, ACCC, tribunal?

      • +1

        customer breach promotion terms and conditions by creating multiple emails/customer names to obtain discounts in multiple purchase.

        • +2

          Did you dispute it as item/services not received? I would be very surprised if Amex would accept that kind of explanation from the merchant. Merchant's own T&Cs regarding their services don't immunise them from their merchant agreement with Amex which would certainly mandate a refund for goods/services not delivered.

          Back to the days that certain budget airlines quote their T&Cs and would only provide a flight credits for cancellation made by the airlines, I have successfully got my money back for a few times with chargebacks.

          • @truetypezk: Yes. it shouldn't be accept like this. whole service provided by special, payment via strip. As in letter, Amex did suggest if I am not happy I can go through further action like Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). This is one of the few disputes I have. I am waiting on more other credit card company to respond.
            From what I can remember, if this happen to other deals, vendors just cancel the order, and refund partially or full amount paid deduct any discount applied.

            • @GAMBOL: just double check, only one dispute transaction has failed, and others are fine. Didn't get logic of this from Amex.

              • @GAMBOL: Just call up and open the dispute again, they can still do that after the initial rejection. If you are disputing multiple transactions it is probably better to do it via customer service channel from the start rather than using the online self-service. I believe Amex will limit your ability to dispute online if you do too many of them in a short period of time.

                • @truetypezk: Thank you. logged again.

                    @GAMBOL: Good luck, my experience with Amex chargeback is pretty good. Once they rejected my item not received dispute at first citing auspost delivery status but I told them I actually have CCTV recording to prove they didn't show up around the supposed delivery time/date. They have credited my account the 2nd time.

                    Also I believe sometimes they might be paying the cardholders out of their own pocket, esp on smaller amounts. In such situations you will receive a mail saying something like "as a valued cardholders we have credited your account".

        • +1

          Given it was only 15% off, so the financial gain is Maximum 15%, is special allowed to take the remain 85% as theirs?

        • What if some of the cards were purchased without duscount
          But they still took it.

          • @couger: That happened to mine, one was without the discount.. I’m waiting to hear back from bank/fair trading

        • +1

          I cannot see how breach terms of a promotion entitled them to not refund? They also have payment details to verify the purchaser.

          Also it’s like this place used OzBargain’s to do some site testing by posting the deal in the first place (they also got disabled for not posting their association)

          • +1

            @cryptos: I agree they have some questionable conducts themselves. I noticed 5 positive reviews were posted on their Facebook page at the exact same hour, one hour after a negative review was posted (which has since been deleted).

  • Received rejection reply from Amex, citing not receive correct documents, I only submit the email from special CS said my account been closed. What documents have you supplied to support your dispute claim?

    • +3

      I just received a confirmation email from CommBank that my disputed transactions will be refunded (3*$114). I had initiated the dispute on 14/05/22.

      "A refund is on its way to you
      Here’s some good news - we’ve completed our investigation into your recent transaction dispute and
      will be refunding you the money. We’ll deposit the money into your debit card account within the next 3
      business days including any associated fees and interest. Thanks for your patience."

      After the dispute I was asked to submit the following documents.

      " What do you need to do?
      To continue our investigation into your disputed transactions, we’ll need these from you:
      • Any documents showing the expected delivery date of your purchase.
      • Any other letters or emails the seller has sent you.
      • A signed letter explaining how you’ve tried to sort this out directly with the seller - including
      the date you contacted them, how you contacted them (for example, by phone or email), and
      what you’re waiting to receive.
      • A copy or written description of the seller’s response."
