      I've purchased a grands worth on two previous occasions and kept some cards for months without spending and didn't get hacked, but it seems like pushing it to try that again considering how many people are reporting losing money. So, this time won't be holding on to them for any longer than a few minutes.

  • tryonthis on 17/10/2022 - 12:49

    How long does it take for the gift card to be activated? Is it roughly 4 hours still? I plan on using them on the same day to minimise my chances of the cards being hacked!

    • WookieMonster on 17/10/2022 - 13:00

      During upfront discount deals (such as this one), activation is usually delayed by a minimum of 4 hours, although sometimes it would be closer to 4.5 hours. Having said that, during the last Vanilla Visa gift card (in VIC/TAS only), there was no delays to activation…

      Outside of any upfront discount deals, activation is pretty much as soon as the transaction is finalised.

    Has anyone found a way to pay a mortgage with the cards?

  • SydBoy on 17/10/2022 - 16:47

    i visited 3 coles in western sydney ….. all $100 and $250 visa gift card gone in coles :D

    i noticed there are various different type of visa card in coles including vanilla card so how do we make sure the one we buy is the right one for the scheme ?

    • Shikha966 on 17/10/2022 - 16:53
      +3

      The one that's hidden usually is the right one for the scheme. These are prepaid. MasterCards, not visa.

      • SydBoy on 17/10/2022 - 20:09

        Thanks, My apology to mix up Visa with mastercard but i now realised the reason i did that was because there were only visa cards on shelfs and none were mastercard … ! that is why i was confused.

    • WookieMonster on 17/10/2022 - 16:56
      +6

      The prepaid gift cards in this deal have very distinctive colourful packaging. The deep purple of the $100 denomination and the bright yellow of the $250 denomination stands out on a gift card shelf.

      The packaging of the Vanilla Visa gift cards are predominately silver with different colours for the box on the front, so they should be very easy to distinguish. If you see a gift card that operates on the Visa network, that is not the gift card on sale through this deal.

      Additionally, when you (or a staff member) scan a prepaid gift card, keep an eye out for the amount owed. You should be able to see on the checkout screen that a 10% discount has been applied to the regular cost price.

      • SydBoy on 17/10/2022 - 20:09

        thanks

    • eddieboy2 on 17/10/2022 - 17:20

      Its "A Gift" clearly printed on the outside front cover.

    • Bdawg on 18/10/2022 - 09:29

      The giftcard rack should have an advertisement with a picture of the correct card. The card will also ring up at the discounted price when you scan it.

  • eddieboy2 on 17/10/2022 - 17:19

    Yes, this deal is listed in S.A. in next week's Coles catalogue, online now.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/10/2022 - 17:34

      It starts Wednesday?

      I got 3-4 Coles around me, some are open at midnight I believe.

      I only want 3 cards, so hopefully I can score.

      • capslock janitor on 19/10/2022 - 15:09

        why such huge ato debt?

        • SydBoy on 19/10/2022 - 15:23

          well, i have one off investment capital gain so i have to pay high tax (debt) more then what was deducted from my salary so i have to pay huge amount to ATO now… getting this card would help getting some discount on that debt nothing else… !

      Lots! You can use them at woolworths, coles, petrol stations, gas/electric/water bills just to name a few places these cards come in handy. You can also use them to buy gift cards on shopback

      • ben5000 on 18/10/2022 - 23:03

        • attalisie on 19/10/2022 - 07:09

          Yes! But you're better off paying for those gift cards with this colesastercard for more savings!

        i wonder if any/all store giftcards can be bought w it

  • rustproofhydra on 18/10/2022 - 16:41

    Can it be used on samsung online stores? Obviously If its a mobile purchase there will be a multiple cards used? Has anyone tested and tried. I am thinking to purchase a fold 4- so $250 x 8 aprox cards for the payment of $2K.
    Appreciate any insight who has used this in the past

    Ps- I understand the risk of hacking recently which has increased significantly but I am planning to use it as soon as its active with in 4 hours :-)

    They just had the deal on the 6pm news. No mention of the hackers risk though.
    There will not be many cards available for the "professionals".
    Bonanza for the hackers.
    Potential big loss for the "unsophisticated investors" that would probably give up and take the loss if hacked.

  • Alekhine on 18/10/2022 - 20:05

    Anyone see the news for this promotion / news should have stated that the cards can be hacked

    My two local coles both had removed their $250 cards as of 7pm last night. I was told they will get them out for this morning. This is because they are wanting to stop people hiding them all over the store the day before the sale.

    • Yola on 19/10/2022 - 07:56

      Too late by then.

  • BargainBenno on 19/10/2022 - 07:01

      • AssociatedKamppinator @ Coles on 19/10/2022 - 10:50

          Asked multiple stores, Welland, Pt Adelaide nothing at service desk, nothing on the shelves either.
          All hidden before today.

          Only store that I know actually does their job well in regards to this is CHURCHILL (they been doing it for a long time). Works out so much better for general public

            @USER DC: I got the run around at my local also but dont care enough to push the issue word is that stores were allocated a lot of stock though so very surprised to see so few having any likely poor management of the promotion

  • 90percent on 19/10/2022 - 07:20

    I've yet to open the packaging but I'm wondering if anyone knows:
    1. Can I pay towards my tax return before the NOA is issued? I seem to have found a page in my portal that allows me to, but just wanted to double check if anyone has done it before
    2. What do I enter as the cardholder and CCV on the ATO portal? Seems like a necessary field

      Just use your name. You can use 10 cards per day. 5 at MyGov and 5 at Easypay.

        Thankyou for this tip Yola. I was not aware of the EasyPay site. I found my first 4 cards were accepted via MyGov, the 5th card errored, so I then used EasyPay no probs.

        • USER DC on 19/10/2022 - 11:11

          yup i had same issue 4 payments to Tax account were all goood.

          But Hecs payments, 5th card not okay

    • 90percent on 19/10/2022 - 08:58

      Now that I've started the process:
      1. Yes
      2. I was wondering why there was so much concern over security as there is a CCV number on the card, so I tried entering the wrong CCV and expiry dates (separately) to see what would happen. Turns out you can enter anything as the CCV, but at least it declines an incorrect expiry.

      And thanks to everyone that replied too.

      • Bambini88 on 19/10/2022 - 09:02

        You’re saying CCV doesn’t matter? The three digit code at the back? You can put anything in that field? O.o

        • 90percent on 19/10/2022 - 09:05

          I received an ATO receipt when I entered the wrong CCV if that mean anything. I also tested using the wrong expiry to see if it always gives a receipt even if the wrong details are entered.

        • 90percent on 19/10/2022 - 09:12

          Does the website on the card redirect to mybalancenow for you as well?

          • yolow on 19/10/2022 - 09:15

            @90percent: Yup. Entered in the website as printed on the card instead of googling it.

      • USER DC on 19/10/2022 - 11:10

        the transaction would probably decline, and the payment wont be taken out of your prepaid mastercard

    two of my $250 cards got declined and i got refunded for a total of $500 in cash. then paid another 2 $250 card by card. double the saving LOL
