    WM Note #1:

    • I think Coles only sells $50 and $100 denominations of Myer gift cards. I have never seen any other denominations (including the $200 denomination) of Myer gift cards sold at Coles.

    • The redemption of Myer gift cards will void any cashback you could earn from Cashrewards or Shopback.

    • If anyone is wondering whether Myer gift cards can be used to purchase gift cards at Myer, the answer is highly unlikely.

      • +14

        I would be extremely surprised if that worked.

        I haven’t tried it myself, but I haven’t ever bothered to even try it, because:

        • Myer gift cards are issued by Myer, whereas gift cards redeemable at Coles (including Coles Group & Myer gift cards) are issued by Coles Group.

        • Myer gift cards have different identification numbers1 when compared with gift cards issued by Coles Group. I don’t exactly remember the identification of Myer gift cards and I don’t have an empty one on hand at the moment, but I think they usually are 6273 4100 or 6273 4160. If we look at gift cards redeemable at Coles…:

        Type Identification Number
        Coles Group & Myer 6273 3500, 6273 3538
        Coles 6273 4010, 6273 4012
        Coles Groceries (aka Coles Groceries & Returns) 6273 4000, 6273 4005
        Coles flybuys2 6273 4070
        Coles Group 6277 9400
        • I accidentally tried to redeem a Target gift card (which is issued by Coles Group) at Coles a couple of weeks ago and I got error messages on the EFTPOS terminal (as expected). Target gift cards have identification numbers of 6273 4530.

        1. The identification number is the first eight digits of the gift card number printed on the back of the gift card. 

        2. AFAIK, you can only obtain this gift card if you redeem Flybuys points for a physical Coles gift card through the Flybuys Rewards Store.

          This guy/girl knows Gift cards!

          I think the question may have been if you take(steal) a $200 card from Woolies, will you be able to buy/activate it at Coles?

          I'd assume the answer is no. Because if Coles doesn't sell them, I'd see no reason to have them in their system.

          • +1

            @Steempy: Oh true. I didn't think about it that way… Now you say that, their question made more sense (except for the fact that shoplifting gift cards is a bad idea).

            My guess is that you'd get a "product does not exist" error if you scanned a $200 Myer gift card at Coles, because I see no reason for Coles to have a gift card in their system that they do not currently stock (and I haven’t seen a $200 Myer gift card at Coles in the last few years).

        • +1

          When using a Myer gift card you also need to tell the cashier as they need to press a different button before swiping the card.

          • @JIMB0: Doesn't the bonus get added automatically when purchased at Coles during the offer period JIMB0? How do you check if its been added immediately?

        • Hi, I just bought Myer giftcard with Coles egiftcard, and it worked! So $94 to get $115 Myer giftcard

          • @polarbear1234: How long did it take for the bonus credit to be applied to gift card?

            • +1

              @Voucherd: Pretty much straight away? I check the balance once I get home, which is 15 minutes away, and it's already added

  • +6

    Ozbargainers probably stocking up for future Lego purchases, right?

    • Only thing to buy from Myer anymore

  • Can you use more than one gift card at Myer checkout?

  • +2

    Can Myer gift cards be used for Chanel or Dior purchases?

  • great

  • how long are the gift cards valid for

  • +1

    The only thing I would get from Myer would be RM William boots (Difficult to find at 15% discount and probably harder to get given recent price increases).

    • how about frequent run cashrewards or shopback ?

    • +2

      Didn't even know Myer sold RM Williams …

      • They only started as a concession store late last year I think; and not every Myer will have them, in Perth I've only seen them in the CBD store.

  • -3

    Can I have Myer products refunded back in cash or back on a debit card if I purchase products with gift card

    • +3

      That's a true ozb trying to make 15% profit ..!!
      To answer - don't think so, they will see the receipt and if it's totally paid via GC they usually will issue a store credit or a voucher.
      That's what they did to me at Kmart last month..

  • +2

    Too bad, Myer used to stock Apple products, but not anymore.

    • Yup I got a few Apple products from Myer before they stopped selling.

  • +1

    ColesMyer?

    • +1

      Hasn't existed since 2006 when Myer was sold to private equity.

  • Cashrewards is not valid right when redeeming Myer gift cards right?

  • Can you use coles gift cards to pay for these?

    • Cant use a gift card to buy a gift card

      • Thanks

    • Yes, you can. I just bought myer giftcard with coles egiftcard on self checkout. Cashier won't let me.

      • +1

        It sounds like you got lucky.

        The self checkouts at the Coles supermarkets in my area have been programmed so that if you are purchasing a gift card and then select Gift Card on the payment screen, you'll get an error message saying gift cards cannot be used to purchase gift cards and a staff member needs to clear the error.

  • +3

    For those wondering, it turns out to be about 13% off.

  • Does anyone know does this count towards your weekly flybuys bonus points spend? The spend $x for next four weeks?

    • +3

      It does not.

  • -1

    There is nothing to buy at myers. What are u buying?

  • +1

    Better off waiting for SB/CR to have 20% cashback unless one wants to purchase Dior and/or Chanel.

    • And Hermes

    • Does the cashback work on Dyson? I just did the GCs today to get my Wife the new airwrap model, haven't seen any deals in here for a long time so presumed Dyson may be excluded for most cashback

      • +3

        I believe so.

        Cashrewards and Shopback only list three brands between them as exclusions:

        • CHANEL
        • Dior
        • Hermes Beauty

        I cannot see any other terms on either cashback website that would specifically exclude Dyson (unless you voided another term, such as the redemption of gift cards).

        Boosted cashback deals at Cashrewards and Shopback for MYER crop up from time to time, but the cashback rate for products categorised as "Entertainment / Electronics" (which would include Dyson Airwraps) can vary. Here's a look at the cashback rates applicable to Dyson Airwraps since April 2022…

        Date Cashback Site Applicable Cashback Rate
        10 Apr 2022 Shopback 12%
        14 May 2022 Cashrewards 12%
        04 Jun 2022 Cashrewards 15%
        11 Jun 2022 Shopback 5%
        19 Jun 2022 Cashrewards 10%
        02 Jul 2022 Shopback 11%
        03 Jul 2022 Cashrewards 15%
        09 Jul 2022 Cashrewards 10%

        Keep in mind that cashback for MYER is calculated on the GST exclusive amount. If we use this as an example…:

        • If you purchase it through a cashback site offering a cashback rate of 12% (as an example), you could earn $98 cashback (which is an effective rate of ~10.9%).

        • However, if you opt to purchase MYER gift cards through this gift card deal, the effective discount is ~13%, so the equivalent savings is closer to $117.

        Additionally, if you go down the bonus value gift card route through this deal, you only need to wait for the extra credit to be loaded onto the MYER gift card (which should be loaded within a day or two); however, with cashback, you'll need to wait up to 90 days for cashback to be paid out (assuming cashback tracked correctly). Having said that, if you use bonus value gift cards to purchase the Dyson Airwrap, you will lose out on any insurance, chargeback or other perks you may get if you purchased the Dyson Airwrap through a credit card.

        • +1

          Wow amazing response thank you! I'll keep that in mind, cashback is more inclusive than I've thought. Probably because I'm usually buying tech that's excluded often.
          I purchased the gift cards at 8:30am and used them with bonus credit at 11am. The receipt from Coles said the bonus funds were added immediately which was useful :)

    Can i buy this card then go to myers and use this card to buy a coles myer gift card?

    • +1
      • aha sorry i missed that comment, my eyes must be reading through comment fast.

    • I used to do this with all my discounted myer giftcards I'd buy from Woolies/Coles, and just consolidate them onto $500 ColesMyer gift cards at an actual Myer store. However the last couple of times I've asked to do this, they've said they've been instructed by head office not to do this any more.

  • Yeah funny, some of the items that I want jumped up 15% as the sale went ahead. :-)

    • +3

      You have 3 years to purchase.

  • +1

    Check your CommBank rewards, Coles $5 cashback with $100 spend.

    • Excludes GC purchases

      • +1

        They can’t tell

  • -1

    Could the Myer voucher be used to purchase a telstra recharge (e.g.a big one $300)

    • Since when do Myer sell phone recharges?

      • -1

        That's what I was wondering, do they sell them.
