    I just went to Perth City Coles the staff told me that someone went to the store and hide all the $250 cards.

    • WesthamAreMassive on 19/10/2022 - 12:26

      When they go to purchase them should not allow them to buy them and say these have been cancelled

    • 3sky on 20/10/2022 - 00:15

      From previous experience, the Perth City store in Raine Square is not part of the the promo as it's a "Coles Central" store and seem to have major hassles with customers that buy them and find out there's no discount. If that's still the case I think they're doing the customer a service, tbh

      • RichardF89 on 20/10/2022 - 00:36

        there are 10% discount this time. I checked the catalogue, it shows the 10% discount for the gift card

        • 3sky on 20/10/2022 - 01:03

          I see. If they are promoting it at the store in a catalogue, then I agree they should honour it

    All sold out at my local on SA, I'm not gonna bother driving around.

    It looks like they were listed on the shelf, I asked a lady and said all gone.

    I earn more per hour than it would take me to visit 2 Coles.

    7% saving, it's easier for me to go to work for an hour than buy freakin 5 of these cards.

    • shap08 on 19/10/2022 - 12:39

        during overtime = double and a half!

      • [Deactivated] on 19/10/2022 - 12:57

        I'd need to buy 5 to earn what I do hourly.

        I went to 2 Coles and literally nothing, and Coles here is in one of Adelaide's wealthiest area.

        I assume some POV person has driven around at 6am and taken them all.

        I looked at the counters, considering they got ads for this everywhere they literally have no stock it's BS.

        Why market something so much, unless you have hundreds available!

        $18 x 4 = $72

        I make a bit more than that, I work in tech.

        Still got a stack of gift cards on my desk from this, woolies promos, etc.

        Its tax-free money, so why not.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/10/2022 - 13:11

          I normally forget about these cards, not worth the outlay.

          You get more on return investment through shares or property.

          But sure, I spose you save either way.

            @[Deactivated]: Depends how quickly you turn them over, eg the 7% return on these can be made almost instantly.

            Also I'm not putting a dollar in shares or property currently, more falls to come in both in the short term.

          • Bdawg on 19/10/2022 - 15:35

    Thanks for the heads up OP.

    Managed to buy enough to pay off the council tax bill in full.

    Recently signed up to a credit card which requires 6k spend in the first 120 days so this definitely helped reach that target!

    • Owgasm on 19/10/2022 - 17:28

      Do these cards incur the usual CC surcharge with rates as well?

      That’s how it works..

    • cheap not nasty on 19/10/2022 - 12:55

      I was using it up until 9.30am this morning. Looks like we've overloaded the system, as it comes up with "system error" after you enter card details in. Stopped working just as I tried to verify my last card. FYI I couldn't use it in Firefox, page won't load. Had to resort to using the Evil Overlord site (lol) Google worked no problem on there until 9.30am

      • SydBoy on 21/10/2022 - 03:34

        i have the same system error … so what did you do to correct it ?

        i trier multiple browser and it goes to mybalancenow.com ? is that what happens to you as well ?

          Maybe, maybe not. Some do, some don't. You'll have to visit frequently to find out which of course means using more petrol.

    There seems to be significantly more stock of the $250 cards this time around.

    Unlike previous promos, the 2 Coles stores near me actually had stock of the $250 cards when I went in at 9.30am. And it wasn't just a few cards - they had lots of boxes sitting behind the service counter (each box contains 100 x $250 cards). Better yet, the service desk assistant at one of the stores was happy to sell me as many cards as I wanted :)

    • bird380 on 19/10/2022 - 13:50

      I noticed a lot of stores are keeping the $250 cards behind the counter with limited payment options (I wanted to split payment across two credit cards - no go. Not allowed to split transaction either)

        but said i could go to service desk/manned counter, i didnt bother that time

        tho i wonder if a tiny amount of cash during split payment would work !?

        • AssociatedR n b @ Coles on 19/10/2022 - 17:45

    Bought 15 of these. 1 gift card got declined at the checkout and therefore was not activated. Payment already went through and the manager said she couldn’t do anything and referred me to the phone number on the back.

    I had to email them a copy of my receipt and drivers licence so they could manually activate it. Still waiting for a response.

    • JIMB0 on 19/10/2022 - 16:02

      This happened to me with the vanilla cards. Turns out they did actually activate even though it said declined.

      • capslock janitor on 19/10/2022 - 16:56

        How declined if payment went thru?

        • ryda on 19/10/2022 - 18:30

          Mine definitely not activated. The other 4 I used to pay my tax bill went through. The one that said declined on my receipt did not work

            @ryda: Please check you receipt and compare all the last 3 digits of the card again the approved and decline details.

            I encountered the declined card, my scenario was, I got the staff serve, not the self serv, so the staff double scan same card, so of course the second scan would be declined but the Coles will still charge you.

            I went back to explain to them and show them 4 card details on the receipt with one of the 2 times and the last card details was not one the receipt which mean the last card has never been scanned.

            Hope this help everyone here encountered the same issue.

            • Yola on 20/10/2022 - 03:07

              @fishandchips: This could get very complicated and hard to fix. I purchase the cards one at a time or 2 at most and watch them carefully.

          • JIMB0 on 20/10/2022 - 06:49

            @ryda: Check the balance online. The amount of cards you can use in a day to pay tax is limited.

  • ryda on 19/10/2022 - 15:26
