      Here we see example another idiot starting racism by noticing a person's race just cause they're doing something not to their standards.
      People say they hate everyone, but they don't hate equally cause they racist!

        I agree that race should not be mentioned in such a story. It's irrelevant

  • legelas on 19/10/2022 - 15:47

    does anyone know how to check the balance? colesmastercardbalance.com.au website doesnt work for my cards. got directed to my balancenow.com

    • Bdawg on 19/10/2022 - 16:05

      Yes, via the site you were redirected to (why would they do this!?).

      • legelas on 19/10/2022 - 16:06

        that website doesnt work for all of my card

        • Bdawg on 19/10/2022 - 16:14

          It wasn't working in firefox for me so I used chrome.

          • legelas on 21/10/2022 - 09:34

            @Bdawg: i think there is something wrong with the website, it works most of the time but not all the time.

  • Eugklng on 19/10/2022 - 15:49

    If anyone who works with these gift cards are even reading here. I think its time to put in a lock/unlock mechanism on these cards where it is locked by default upon activation and if someone wants to spend it online will have to unlock it first on the gift card website with the PIN provided and after a period of time it will revert back to the lock state again.

    It is a hassle but at least its more secured.

    • Bdawg on 19/10/2022 - 16:05

      You would think they would come up with something quicksmart, they must have lost a lot of $$$.

    • Dealor on 19/10/2022 - 16:06

      Or just simply put the card inside a nice cover cardboard like Woollies with their Prepaid Visa. Simple and professional

      • Eugklng on 19/10/2022 - 16:09

        The vulnerability here is not physical in nature. It’s online brute force attacks

      • Yola on 19/10/2022 - 16:11

        The cover is very secure. These new cards are being hacked remotely.

    • King Tightarse on 19/10/2022 - 16:27
      +2

      100% agree. Needs user ability to deactivate via self nominated password until needed

    • sunnysteve on 19/10/2022 - 21:58

      it's just something simple like putting a scratchie on the card itself like the supermarket giftcards and use the code during 2fa.

      The current issue besides theft is that without 2fa most online stores don't accept it

      • Eugklng on 19/10/2022 - 22:00
        +2

        don't need that because the CVV on the card is secured enough to prevent this brute force attack. Problem is these hackers will simply spend it on websites that don't require CVV. Google play I believe is their top destination.

        • sunnysteve on 19/10/2022 - 22:04
          +1

          not sure if that's correct since CVV is just 3 digits, imagine having a three digit numerical password for an online account! These cards all have the same starting card number and exact same expiry date, making brute force a viable option since there are so limited combinations

          • Bdawg on 20/10/2022 - 10:00
            +1

            @sunnysteve: That extra 3 digits makes it exponentially harder to crack though because they have to guess the credit card number plus the extra 3 digits all in one go. It's not guessing the credit card THEN guessing 3 digits separately…

        auspost don't accept mc debit cards? I reckon it's more a human thing. My LPO lets me split anything into how ever many payments I want.

        • Yola on 20/10/2022 - 03:10

          They say it is determined by the merchant. When I tried, they seemed to genuinely want to do it, but the system would not allow it with the bill I had.

    Just got off the phone with B-point, tried to make payment for my water bill in WA and they confirmed that a prepaid master card is not accepted. Disappointed, considering Bppoint is widely used to pay utility bills.

    • tunzafun001 on 19/10/2022 - 16:47

      Can you pay direct on the water company website?

          • King Tightarse on 19/10/2022 - 18:30

            @Neoika: Max is $500 isnt it? So do you do this and ask the operator to split the payment?
            Or perhaps a series of 5 x $232 Coles cards?

      • Orican on 20/10/2022 - 10:36

        In the self checkout cash register
        When we going to pay by coles E-gift card, do you chose the payment method of pay by CARD or giftcard? Then how can you swipe the E-gift-card to pay for it?

        • AssociatedR n b @ Coles on 20/10/2022 - 13:59

          Its a gift card, doesn’t matter physical one or electronic. Choose gift card. You need to scan e-gift like flybuys.

          • Orican on 20/10/2022 - 14:30

    So Coles Kingston Tasmania only had the $100s today at the service desk. I asked and they said they ordered the $250s but they hadn't arrived. I asked the lady if I could pay for each one separately so I'd get another 2% cashback with my HSBC debit card. The 3rd one wouldn't activate and they replaced it for me. I thought I still had to wait the 4 hours activation period though, so I haven't done anything with them yet.

    So disappointed I couldn't get the $250s :-((

    This is the only Coles near me and it's 30 mins away.

    So the question is could I pay off next 6 month worth of bills with the 7% discount, would it be worthwhile than keeping that money in the offset account for 6 month, be about $8000 of bills I reckon, rates and license or renewing in Jan.

  • smallstakes54 on 19/10/2022 - 19:06

    Bought 5 cards in one transaction. First 4 cards activation approved, and last one declined. wtf? The Monitor had a message to speak to staff for a refund. The staff went and asked the manager and told me they can't refund it, I'll need to call the card vendor for a replacement.

    Does that sound right? The retailer (coles) sold a product that's invalid/faulty, aren't they supposed to give you a replace or refund? Why does the customer get the run-around because YOUR system failed to activate?

    Anyways, found a number and called them and after 10min they told me had some technical issue and call back in 15min.

    I'm just worried after I give them the details, they will tell me to go back and speak to Coles for a refund. Anyone know the correct procedure or had any experience with failed activation after payment?

    • Neoika on 19/10/2022 - 19:10

      It is possible that the card may be hacked when unactivated. The old stock expiry date is 3/27. I think it is safer to buy new stock with expiry date 6/27.

      Don't take it as an answer. Just my thinking.

      • USER DC on 19/10/2022 - 20:00

        I only got the 3/27 one :(

    • dkinc on 19/10/2022 - 19:12

      This happened to me last time. If the receipt shows that the activation declined for that card then the store should be the one refunding you. Even if you call Coles customer care, that's what they'll tell you. If the receipt doesn't show anything about that card, you'll need to call Coles customer care and go through the gift card refund process, which takes a while unfortunately.

      • smallstakes54 on 19/10/2022 - 19:20

        @dkinc, thanks for the info. Yes my receipt has the numbers on the back of the gift card pack.
        When it happened to you before, did Coles just give you a refund in-store? Or did you have to call their customer care?
        Thanks

        • dkinc on 19/10/2022 - 19:31
          +5

          What happened to me was:
          The receipt showed that the activation failed but the store told me to call the customer care line. I called customer care, and they told me that the store should refund me. So I went back and told them that, and the staff member called their manager and they sorted it out. The key thing is that the receipt shows that that specific card didn't activate.

          • Neoika on 19/10/2022 - 19:34

            @dkinc: Good advice. Maybe ask when the store manager is on site if the current one is unhelpful.

          • FujiFruit on 19/10/2022 - 21:24

        • truetypezk on 19/10/2022 - 23:18

          You should insist on getting a refund instore. Quote ACL if they refuse, make a fuss if necessary, it is still much easier than trying to call the hotline later on.

      • smallstakes54 on 19/10/2022 - 20:03

        Ok just finished calling the vendor. They took some details, filed a claim and asked me to email a copy of the receipt, the gift card and my ID/Utility bill (for the address). After they assess the claim, they will either send me a new card or activate the one I already have.

    • maverick1 on 19/10/2022 - 19:18

      I had a similar issue last time around. It's best to go back to the store and ask them to refund.
