    One of the managers stopped me and ask “what benefit you can get from using gc to buy another gc”. I explained but he is still confusing. We really need to enhance the K-12 math education.

      Another manager argued with me about the T&C. I mentioned it says “cannot buy OTHER gift cards sold at Coles”, so it allows us to use the GC to buy itself. Then he said “I have the right to refuse the service to you, and you can leave now”. Then good luck I just try another one.

      The store managers are my biggest enemies. Getting an average salary but behaves like the CEO of Coles.

        You are spot on, mate.

        They obviously don't have a day job, and can go around stores buying up 100s of cards (by their own admission).

        Then, they have the audacity to blame the store managers for doing their job, and claim that they are engaged in some fraud syndicate without a shred of proof.

        The sense of entitlement is extremely high on this one.

      High chance that the staff scanned the same card twice, or checked out a paid card. The only way is ask them to process a refund. Otherwise, neither your bank nor the card issuer will refund your money. I got one such error last night due to the double scan.

      • yht on 17/06/2022 - 22:34

        You are right ! Will need to go back to the store tomorrow as I got one card that has not been scanned.

    • Bambini88 on 18/06/2022 - 17:42

      Yeah I am on same boat… the salesman clicked no for signature verified and then it declined zz. I’m guessing it will automatically come back onto the card within 7 days?

      • GiftCardHunter on 19/06/2022 - 08:32

        Payment Declined + Gift Card Declined (for sure) = You will get money back (but up to 30 days later).
        Payment Accepted + Gift Card Declined = You must ask for a refund. Money won't be automatically refunded.

        • Bambini88 on 19/06/2022 - 09:08

          Yikes. I am not sure which I fit in. So I paid and it got accepted, then the machine asked if signature is authorized? And the lady out no, then the machine went and declined.

          • GiftCardHunter on 19/06/2022 - 11:51

            @Bambini88: It depends on what's shown on your receipt. In your case, your money should be safe.

                @vinnychase: Then find someone who looks like a new employee. Oh, one thing, if you check out something over $1000 with new cashiers, the manager will get the system notice and come immediately, and then a fight begins. They will cancel all your scanned cards, if you have been paid a partial amount, they may be "nice" to sell you one gift card, and then give you a coles grocery gift card with the overpaid balance. Well, some other managers will bother to spend 1-hour processing the "18.7" refund and must be to the originally paid gift card, because of their incapability of using their own system (Coles, you really need to do more technical training to the staff). If this is the case, just smile, leave and tell them "it is for you, I am going to another store to get more". Really an interesting scene.

                You can argue, damn or flip the bird. But don't actually involve in a fight. If you are asked to leave, then smile, leave and say "good luck to you and your family". Don't give them any chance to make you angry, or irrational and finally call the police.

                P.S. So do it one by one. You can also refuse them because you don't need to surrender your paid cards. Use it immediately (after 4 hours), immediately, immediately. Think about what "Special Gift Card" did last time.

            The sad story is they are initially trained to NOT accept any transaction without a pin for gift cards. But we can actually rinse it with any pin (1111 works), and this will be a pin transaction and will go through. The only thing to be careful of is hiding your payment card.

      I also want this, but it seems impossible (really hard) because it does not support 3D Secure 2.0 (I forgot the official name). The previous version of Coles Mastercard can be loaded into some prepaid cards, which allow you to withdraw cash, but nothing to discuss anymore now since it is out of date.
      If you really want cash, there are always ways, but they are just too annoying.

    Westfield Doncaster
    Mont Albert
    Box Hill
    Collingwood

    Staff advise….unsure, when new stock will arrive.

    Perhaps, others who have also called around to check stock,
    please comment, as this saves us all lots of time driving around & to avoid calling the same stores bothering staff.

    Those, who have overly bought the $250 cards, please now let others have a chance to buy.

          Extend your answer, you can also use the MasterCard GC from Coles to buy an Apple computer, then return and refund the money to a normal bank card for cash. I don't know if this is technically legal. If anyone wants to do this, take your own risk.

      Purchase tv at goodguys via cashrewards 12% cadhback?

      Not sure about CashRewards (CR) but over at ShopBack (SB) usually even IF you can pay with GiftCard (GC), that alone will invalidate your CashBack (CB).

      Get $250x4 coles Mastercard

      For my council rate, over at their website’s Online Services I am able to input my Property ID, then input Amount, and Pay manually.
      It states any and all payments incur 0.47% surcharge, so just make sure in the Amount part you input the correct amount including the surcharge. Just do that 10x with $250 cards and you’d have prepaid the total amount.

      $250/1.0047 is the formula in my case, just replace the last 3 digits with whatever your council surcharges you and input the result in the Amount.

        I see what you mean. Maybe its because it requires signature which The cashier did not asked me to do…maybe because the cashier was upset I used a gc lol

          I swiped directly and I didn’t even sign the card. The cashier didn’t ask anything

          Why feel bad about this kind of things? You got refused, then smile and just try another shop. There is really nothing to "feel bad" about. Don't be shackled in the trap of "being a good person". Nobody cares, and nobody remembers you got such an embarrassing situation. I got refused by many shops and asked to leave by lots of managers, but now I am enjoying my weekend with a case of used gift cards.

      What is the "feel bad" you are describing?

      I feel pretty damn good when I look at all my free $18.70 gift cards 😆

      Personally it sounds like a them problem 🤷‍♂️

      You can enter 1111 as the pin, then it goes through. Do it one by one and tell them you just want 5 receipts, DON'T split the payment. If you split the payment, the manager will come immediately, blame you, ask you to leave right now and warn you do not come again. Then you will feel worse.

      P.S. The reason: If you checkout 5 $250 cards and tell the staff you want to split into $250, then $250, …… even the manager whose math is under the K-12 level and had a hard time understanding "what benefit you can get from doing this" will easily notice this unusual activity. Don't ask me how did I know this.
