    Wow, getting less week by week…

    • -3

      Better than nothing

  • +3

    Thanks, stacked with the Deliveroo 15% cashback

  • +2

    Did anyone else get a prompt for 20% cashback on $50 swap cards around two days ago? I tapped the back button and realised there wasn't any promotional banner to go back to the offer.

    • +1

      Yes, it was a mistake. It was just for new customers.

      • Ah, were existing members actually able to purchase it?

        • +1

          No, all were stuck after swiping at payment. We got the message that we are not eligible after that…

  • +3

    Thanks op, easy $5…😃

  • +1

    Are you Sure ??

    Good to stack with the current 15% off Special deal

    • +1

      Yeh it works because the Special cards act as a Mastercard and you can just add new credit card details on ShopBack

      • Which Special Card did you use? I mean there are all sorts of Special Cards. Aren’t they locked to specific retailers?

        • +1

          No, they all yield the same thing: a prepaid MasterCard

          • +1

            @itsfree: Thanks. I wonder why the description of the "Super Shopper" Special card is described as working at only "61,000 retailers", and it lists shops like ALDI, Woolworths, etc., but not "Shopback". Doesn't "Shopback" have to be listed as one of their retailers in order for the MasterCard to work?

            • @dlee: No - I was able to buy a Super Swap card from SB. But only one. So I bought an Amazon gift card from shopback instead.

  • +4

    Sorry, I'm totally failing to understand the stacking? As they are two different gift card storefronts how could they be combined?

    • +1

      See above
      Basically just add a new payment on ShopBack when you’ve received the Special Mastercard card details

      • +2

        Thanks. I'll give it a go later. I ignored the other deal when there were so many people who paid or even got charged twice and received nothing. I'll check that's fixed first.

        • +3

          Still lots of technical issues. I did it once after my money first disappeared and got refunded. After that it worked, but won’t do it again.

        • +3

          I’ve done twice and worked without issues. Just stacked these two deals and got a super swap card at 20% off

          • @Meenas: Did it 3 times but a bit of work involved.

            • -1

              @povertytrap: Don't you worry ShopBack is the best & "GYB - got your back" 😁will handle everything systematically.

            • @povertytrap: How do you do it three times, did you make 3 accounts?

            • @povertytrap: To be honest as great as 20% off my groceries is, I found the work involved with this one to be a bit much. My eyes are rolling like slot machine spinners with all the different SIM cards I've swapped around tonight.

      • +2

        Special Mastercard doesn't work if trying to purchase doordash gift card but works on the swap

  • +1

    From the comments under the Special deal, their cards are a one use credit card. You can buy a $100 (or $134) one for 15 % off, and then use it to fulfil this challenge.
    I'll do the deal tomorrow.

    • +2

      Exactly! Just add as a new payment method on ShopBack to use the Special Mastercard :)

      • It there a way to select custom value for the shopback gift cards?
        My Special gc is $135 and I want to use it all in one go to but a gc

        • I don't believe so. I went $100, $25 and $10.

          • @wavesgreen: We can use Special gc in multiple transactions then i.e. its not a single use card right?

            • +1

              @ar7ist: Correct. I have used multiple for multiple transactions over the last few days.

        • +1

          Not SB but if you have access to discounted Woolies gift cards they let you choose a custom amount for their gift cards.

          • @MiscOzB: You can also use on amazon to buy amazon gc even for odd cents.

  • Can I use cash back to pay?

    • yes but switch it on

  • +1

    Perfect,
    Stacked this with the deliveroo 15% cashback as well as the bonus $5 voucher deliveroo challenge that was available.

  • +5

    Thanks bargaingrabber, luckily I dillydallied on buying additional 15% discount Special Gift Cards until tonight, so this bonus $3 makes it all the more sweeter.

    $115 spend, $135 credit immediately converted to Super Swap Gift Cards via ShopBack and then swapped for Coles gift cards.

    $135 for $109.30, 19% discount all told.

  • anyone able to use the outdoor special mastercard to buy ampol gift card from shopback?

    • +2

      I am not sure, but you could give it a go. My guess is that Special has limited each of their gift cards (including the Outdoor gift card) to a specific list of merchant category codes, and I don’t think Shopback would fall into an eligible merchant category code for the Outdoor gift card. (I could be wrong though!)

      Alternatively, you could go to an Ampol or Caltex1 near you and see whether they are selling AmpolCash or Caltex StarCash physical gift cards at 5% off. If they are, you should be able to use the Special Outdoor gift card to pay for it.

      • The Outdoor gift card lists a number of service stations as participating retailers (e.g. BP, 7Eleven, Caltex), and considering both Ampol and Chevron are all currently using the Caltex brand for their own locations, my assumption is that Caltex refers to both Ampol and Chevron.

      • The Outdoor gift card also lists AmpolCash as a participating retailer for some reason… I think it’s supposed to refer to Ampol.

      The denominations of AmpolCash or Caltex StarCash gift cards sold at participating Ampol or Caltex locations will vary, but I have seen $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 denominations. You can also do split payments, so (for example) if you want a $250 AmpolCash gift card, you can redeem $130 from the Special Outdoor gift card and $107.50 from another card or cash.2


      1. In this context, Caltex merely refers to locations operated by Ampol, and excludes:
        - EG Caltex / Woolworths Caltex: EG currently sub-licences the Caltex trademark from Ampol, but does not sell AmpolCash or Caltex StarCash gift cards.
        - Any Caltex locations operated by Chevorn

      2. If you were wondering, you cannot use AmpolCash gift cards to pay for any gift cards at Ampol, Caltex or EG Caltex / Woolworths Caltex. I tried this recently at both Ampol and EG Caltex / Woolworths Caltex; both times, I received error messages on the EFTPOS terminal saying the purchase was not allowed. 

      • +1

        I tried the outdoor to buy the ampol from shopback but payment unsuccessful, maybe the super shopper might work, I'll try buying the 5% off ampolcash gift card, thanks for the detailed response!

    Thanks op

    My $100 superswap gift card purchase is pending for more than an hour. Money taken out of special gift card. Anybody else stuck at pending on Shopback?

    Subsequent purchase of $30 Amazon gift card from Shopback was OK, only the superswap gift card is an issue.

    • +1

      Yes, my $100 Superswap GC has been pending for an hour or so, although it was tracked within a couple minutes.

    • +1

      Same happened to me about 1-2 weeks back when I brought one it took about 30mins - 1hr.

    • Same boat here, more than 3 hours

    • Same boat, more than 4 hours already

    • Got mine instantly. Maybe fixed?

      • +1

        I think so. Got mine now.

    • +1

      Update: I finally got my gift card.

      • Yeah, same here, was about to update! Haha

  • +1

    Hi op, which card did you buy from special.com.au? So did you buy a gift card 15% off and use it to buy the shopback gift card?

    • +1

      Yeah - the Special gift cards are all the same (i.e. prepaid MasterCard), so pick any one you like.

      • +1

        Trying to spend $133 Special card on a $125 eBay ShopBack gift card, but keep getting:

        Payment Unsuccessful
        Please try again or contact our support team.

        Any ideas??

        • +1

          Same payment unsuccessful error on both Amazon or swap gc.

          Just went and used of direct at Amazon instead without issue though.

        • Me too. Worked when I bought an Amazon card via SB instead.

        • +1

          Happened to me as well. Deleting and re-adding the card fixed it for me

      • Is it all the same ? I thought I saw a list of specific retailers listed under each type of GCs (?) Anyway to be safe I picked the Super Shoppers GC coz I wanted to purchase Amazon and eBay ShopBack GCs…

  • +2

    Thanks - stacked $100 swap card for $80. Not bad

  • +1

    Payment unsuccessful using special card at shopback. Any idea

  • I added the special card and bought a $100 Ebay card successfully and have the $3 tracked as well .

    • Did you buy super shopper GC at special?

      • Correct .

        • Thanks. What I am missing

      • +1

        Super shopper special card didn't on shopback, very inconsistent experiences. Worked on amazon, guess more money for Bezos!

        • +1

          same here, tried to purchase SB Syper Swap 3 times and it gave me that same error. Purchased Amazon, worked right away

  • Not sure what happened earlier but this offer is still on. I had to update the App to be able to buy a card, before the update It was just showing a blank page instead of the gift card section.

    • Cheers
      I thought it was first 3,000 to opt in and not first 3,000 to complete the challenge

  • +1

    Not yet out of stock, people claimed but not actually bought the gift card, so if you claim and buy the gift card you can get it.

    • Yeah, that's right. I just bought an Airbnb gift card for $100 and got a bonus $3 tracked

    • Some people may be used to 'Opting In' and then not rushing to complete their purchase.

      • Not valid if you didn't make the transaction even if you claimed it.

  • Yup, only just opted-in, but bought straight away. Bonus tracked immediately.

  • +1

    I cannot even add a special gc as a payment method now.

    • +1

      I can add it, but still doesn't work for actual payment even after removing and re-adding it to Shopback

      • May I ask which category you chose when you bought the special gift card? My friend chose a tech category and it worked. I randomly picked a spa category and didn't work at all.

        • Mine is the Super Shopper

          • @kicha: My mate picked Special Super Shopper and it worked just fine. I tried following him but hasn't been successful. Was able to add the card but always stuck with payment unsuccessful message. Tried removing the card and readding it, now it says I failed adding the card multiple times, try again 24 hours :/

            • @foxes28: Is that for the Shopback Super Swap? From what other people are saying it seems it might work for individual stores' gift cards but I don't need any of those (so not worth getting even with the $3 Shopback bonus).

              • @kicha: Yep the Shopback Super Swap. I reached out to the online chat help and they said prepaid cards generally don't work… I call BS

                • @foxes28: I bought the ShopBack Super Swap last night using the prepaid Special Super Shopper Mastercard

                • @foxes28: Yeah, other people got it to work… hard to tell whether it's just a technical issue or whether Special and/or Shopback changed something on their end, unless someone has gotten it to work in the past few hours

                  • +2

                    @kicha: My mate did it just like what bargainsgrabber mentioned above at around 10am today. I tried doing it since around 11am and hasn't been successful

                    • @foxes28: Just tried again, went through this time

                • @foxes28:

                  ShopBack Super Swap

                  I bought 2x SSS GCs just a day ago using a Super Shopper CDC.

                  Not sure why they are blocking it now. Probably too popular.

                  • @DoctorCalculon: It's one of two things:

                    • Shopback have blacklisted the BIN associated with the Special Super Shopper gift card.

                    • Special have blacklisted the MCC associated with Shopback.

                    If it was the latter, that is likely bad news for a lot of OzBargainers, as it would mean this gift card can no longer be redeemed at most (discounted) online gift card portals. Woolworths Group's gift card portal has an MCC of 5411 (i.e. a supermarket), so it should be fine for now, unless:

                    • Special figure out a way to specifically blacklist Woolworths Group's gift card portal without blacklisting Everyday Market or Woolworths Online, or

                    • Woolworths Group blacklist the BIN of the Special Super Shopper gift card (which is likely, since their official policy is to not accept any prepaid cards and to cancel any orders paid for using prepaid cards).

                    • @WookieMonster: Why would either ShopBack or Special blacklist each other tho?

                      Unless the latter could be that Special may not be a genuine gift card even if it was accepted at majority retail stores

                      • @BargainsGrabber: Special could be blacklisting Shopback (and other gift card portals) on the Super Shopper gift card, because they accidentally left in the MCC(s) for gift card portals, and they’re correcting their oversight. (Admittedly, the justification for Special blocking Shopback is quite weak.)

                        Shopback could be blacklisting Special, because prepaid gift cards are generally viewed as “more risky” payment methods. Prepaid gift cards are not tied to a specific person and do not support 3D Secure, which makes it impossible for an online retailer to request any kind of 2FA to verify that the person using the card is actually the cardholder. This is why you see some online retailers and gift card portals not accept them.

                        Considering Special gift cards are working again on the Shopback portal, it’s safe to say everything I’ve just said in this comment is merely speculation.

                    • +1

                      @WookieMonster: I just got it to work - maybe it's just really temperamental (or someone flipped a switch back).

                      • @kicha: Too bad, they blocked me from adding cards because of "multiple failed attempts". So I couldn't proceed anyway to purchase

    • After trying too many times to add the special gift card, it says I tried too many times and now error message and won't even process any other card I have linked to my account. Bloody waste of time.

  • oos?

  • +5

    SB turned 4; bonus $3?

    • Good pick up. ;) Bonus dependent on their FY22 marketing budget left over.

  • Will it work if I buy 2 $50 gift cards?

    • +1

      Yes

  • +1

    Wow. A bit of work! What l did. I use CM prepaid MC $100 ($5 fee activate card) from coles that l already received 2000 Flybuys point ( 1000 from Flybuys 1000 from Flybuys customer service adjustments) purchase $100 special shopper card 15% off use my CM prepaid $85 ( APPLEPAY activate code ) l received the card via email. Then comeback ShopBack app to buy $100 super swap card using special shopper card $100 to pay. I do step by step no issue for me. So in total save $20 ( $15 special card + $3 ShopBack challenge + $2 regular cashback from gift card ) for $100 super swap card. Not bad at all!!! Just sharing!!!

    • More like saved $30 from $105 spend (if you value the 2k Flybuys points as $10 face value).

      • $5 fee activate card

        Maths is hard for OzBargainers

        • +1

          I meant $30 from $15 Special card + $5 SB + $10 Flybuys, all from the initial total spend of $105 ($100 card + $5 activation fee).

          But yea the total saving is more like $25 then… didn’t think it through much clearly :)

  • Nice saving. Bought $134 special mc deal then used it to purchase $135 super swap card(s). 1x $100, 1 x $30 + $5 super swap card using $1sb credit
