Coles TCN Gift Card Purchase Limits - How to Circumvent?

This 5 card per person limit is incredibly annoying. I need large quantities, asap. Is there anything I can say to them, or any way around this? Thanks guys

    Nope. You can go to another store or try coming back 15 mins later and hope that they don’t remember you.

    Is there anything I can say to them.

    No. Their business, their rules. And making a scene would assure that they’d remember you.

        because it's clearly stated in their policy.

        Is there anything I can say to them

        What exactly, would you say to them, knowing full well their policy doesn’t allow it?

          You have to pay your tax with giftcards

    • Coles staff are like magpies when it comes to remembering faces.

    Ask someone else there to help you. Pay them $10 for their help. Pray they dont run away with your money or gift cards

    Bring your whole family to purchase the gift cards.

    Contact your local Coles, talk to the manager, ask nicely, tell them Chinese new year on the way, I need lots of gift cards or else I be at WW :)

      call them and tell them you have a tax debt to settle and they accept TCN cards!

  • Have you considered directly via Corporate?

      I got 120x $100 today (12k worth) but it took like 8 hours of driving around. $1200 worth of savings, but there's got to be a more efficient way of doing this. Bringing family members along doesn't help much, I have to pay them and that offsets the savings.

      • I'm sure someone would do it for a lot less than $1200 a day.

        • you would be surprised, not only are they busy but they are incredibly lazy so I have to pay them a decent hourly wage. But you're right, I think ill find a friend to help.

  • Just go another store for another 5 cards.

    He spends $4k a day to resell the products. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/723957 I would assume he wants to purchase $100k worth.

    • wants them quick so hes some kind of dropshipper locally'
      since he has a mini business going on he needs to hire people to go around buying gift cards

      • He's a reseller it would appear

    Just wanna check you're not sending large value gift cards to a Nigerian Prince so he can send you your inheritance money.

    PM me, I'm the real Nigerian prince and I have your non scam inheritance money.

      The possibilities are endless if you use them as eyebrows too.

      • I'm counting 434 possibilities if you count using them as eyebrows + non-matching eyebrows + monobrows and moustaches but I think I've miscalculated.

    • 7 actually, that is 6 unique moustaches but 2 sets.

  • Come with your family members, each can get 5.

    I mean people like you are the reasons these polices exist lol, if you had your way then pretty much everyone else at those stores would be screwed over because you go in and purchase the whole inventory. I'm glad Coles have the 5 card policy for this reason.

  • wdym just find a store that doesn't care
    some stores treat you like a different person if you set foot outside the door and back inside.
    every store does it differently
    it's hilarious

    • I'm from one of the smallest capital cities in Australia. It's not central Sydney where tens of thousands of customers are served daily. These staff probably only see like 200 customer per day. I have been recognised on multiple occasions. I've also asked managers and they said no matter what we can never go over the limt.
