      So many people forget to use them, so it's actually free money for a certain percentage.

      They should never expire.

          Yeah, I forgot about a Google Play $50 card.

          I forgot about $300 David Jones, I emailed them and they told me to just head into the Service Desk. I think some businesses are good about it, others probably not.

      You could use Restaurant Choice eGift cards at 10% off to use in Subway, but that way you can also use it at other restaurants/fast food places. You just add it to your mobile wallet and pay via card as you would normal.

    If only this included Amazon… ebay giftcard terms are weird.

    • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 10:50
      +8

      is not weird just inconvenient as you can't store them as an account balance

      • delfredo on 30/12/2022 - 10:54

        Does it mean that if you use a $100 giftcard on a $90 purchase, the balance of $10 is forfeited?

        • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 10:57
          +7

          no it stays as a $10 gift card when you purchase something next time

          with amazon you can type in the voucher and add to the balance with every gift card

          with ebay you need to enter each card and whatever you don't use you can use it in the next purchase. So if you have 4x$50 ebay gift card and the purchase is $190… you need to enter the 4 gift cards one by one. next time when you buy something, it will have $10 on the gift card left

      • FIVEDOLLAR on 30/12/2022 - 11:04

        does this mean you can use them across accounts?

        • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 11:13
          +4

          my understanding is once you have applied them in one account it would be deemed as used for gift card balance purposes and you cannot use them in a different account

          so lets say you bought a $100 card and you only used $90 in account A… $10 is waiting for you to use next time in account A

          If you tried to use the same ebay gift card in another account lets say account B for that $10, it'll say it's been used

          So whatever gift cards you used or partly used would stay in the same account

        • JHoliday on 30/12/2022 - 11:13
          +5

          No, once you use a gift card on eBay the balance is tied to that account.

          • ilikedeals on 30/12/2022 - 13:13

            @JHoliday: which is pretty similar to Amazon, once you load it to an account, you can't then decide to use "left over funds" via another account

            • Demontr1 on 30/12/2022 - 13:34

              @ilikedeals: theres isn't any left over funds though. You just have one balance for all the loaded gift cards and deduct from that as you go…
              Whereas Ebay has left over funds from the gift card, anything over that you will need to add additional cards, which is a little annoying since you have to keep track of how many cards evt you have.
              Its a matter of convenience.

            • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 13:39

              @ilikedeals: not similar

              one is you can load and forget it about it

              the other is you must use as many as the purchase is for and any left over need to use next time

      • gosund on 30/12/2022 - 14:51

        The remaining will store under "gift cards, vouchers, coupons", which is only one click's effort to use as your payment

        • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 14:51

          yeah i know that?

          • gosund on 30/12/2022 - 14:53

            @Poor Ass: Then what's the inconvenience?

            • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 14:56
              +2

              @gosund: The fact that you need to store gift cards either digital or physical and add multiple gift cards for certain purchases instead of adding loading on the account as a credit like Amazon or like Uber

              If it was like an one off $500 or $1000 yeah that's good but with all these shopback and cash rewards deals going on for $30 bucks it's quite a pain

              • gosund on 30/12/2022 - 15:44

                @Poor Ass: I see what you mean. You hate to see a pile of small amount gift cards staying there instead of one balance number for use like at amazon. I don't mind that so I didn't think it's something inconvenient.

                • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 16:06

                  @gosund: Nah it's not that.. the small amounts are all good with me as it stays in the account

                  It's the fact that you can't load everything on and know what balance you have to spend and you need to apply a gift card one by one. If you store them good and know where all your cards are at before you use them all good but these gift card companies thrive on people losing their cards

                  • gosund on 30/12/2022 - 16:51

                    @Poor Ass: Now I'm confused :(

                    If you got a gift card, just add it to your account before you forget where you put them. Once I applied the codes on ebay, the gift cards will stay there with the balance shown, until the balance is all used up. That said, I've never used more than 5 cards at once so I can't tell if there's a limit on how many gift cards can be stored. Maybe that's the problem?

                    • Poor Ass on 30/12/2022 - 17:35

                      @gosund: That's the thing you have to make a purchase so you can use / store left over credit of a gift card

                      There's no area that you can load up your account with gift cards without spending

                    • Shaneeo on 30/12/2022 - 20:46

                      @gosund: @gosund how do you add ebay gift cards to your account without making a purchase?
                      This is the number one complaint that I and many others have for ebay gift cards. Have to keep track of them all in a spreadsheet or somewhere to avoid wasting any.
                      If you know of a way to add gift cards immediately to my account without purchasing anything, you will be the most popular person in the history of ozbargain

                      • gosund on 30/12/2022 - 23:21

                        @Shaneeo: Errr…… I didn't realize this is an issue until today tbh.

                        I always apply all the cards on hand when I'm on the checkout page regardless of how much I need to pay, meaning I would key in let's say $500 worth of cards into my ebay even for a $0.5 purchase. The remaining balance won't go anywhere so why not.

                        But again as I said, I've never used/applied more than 5 cards at once so I don't know whether there's a quantity limit. But judging by you guys' reaction, there must be a quantity limit for doing so, otherwise, I can't understand what's the issue here.

                        • windrc on 31/12/2022 - 00:12

                          @gosund: The issue is you can't just add a ebay gift card to your account without a purchase, whereas with amazon you can store all your gift cards to your account anytime like a e-wallet.

                          • Shaneeo on 31/12/2022 - 05:12

                            @windrc: Thanks that is helpful to know that you can actually add all the cards at the next purchase, not just enough to cover the purchase value.

                            2 issues remain however
                            1. Cannot add gift cards to account without making a purchase.
                            2. Cannot check gift card balance/s without pretending to purchase something and going to checkout/payment screen

                            • gosund on 31/12/2022 - 11:13

                              @Shaneeo: Pick whatever item on the page, go click buy it now, and that's it. All the info you need is there, with only 2 clicks. Then close the page. Ok, that's 3 clicks now.

                              We ozbargainers would do things much more complicated than that to get a deal, would't we?

    Not sure if this was a one-off or a mistake in processing but I copped a cash advance fee and interest on my CBA CC a couple of weeks ago purchasing via giftz.

    The Tx is done by ausgiftcards milsons point, evidence here:

    Not sure if @WookieMonster or @AustinBlack know why this happened but I'm certainly hesitant about buying again.

    My bank was nice enough to reverse the charges out of goodwill. But they said this kind of charge is normal for purchasing gift cards and she likened it to lottery purchases… Idk wtf to think any more!

              Black Hawk Network, trading as giftz have caused this charge by the transaction type they used.

              I don't know if it's how they do things now but a previous purchase from them had no such fees 🤷‍♂️

                I kind of new something sus was going on as I tried a prepaid visa card and it would reject it usually buying from cashrewards or shopback no issues

                perhaps what I recommend is to disable your cash advance feature on the cc before buying, that way it would reject and no proceed.

                no one should really enable their cash advance feature on their credit card any way

      We have escalated this to our payment gateway provider as we do not believe that gift cards should be treated like a lottery purchase and we are not sure why CBA have suddenly started to do this. Unfortunately we're not sure if the issue has been rectified as our ticket is doing the rounds with people being on leave. As soon as I know it's been fixed for sure I will let you know.

                    The solving puzzle + entering email code is very annoying

                    probably not your area but just want to put it out there

                      @Poor Ass: I 100% agree, one place would be awesome! I have already suggested this and will keep raising it.

                      Yeah puzzles are a tad tedious but I think it's a fraud protection thing :/

                        @AustinBlack: I don't mind the logging in or puzzle it's the code from email that's annoying

                        APP would be easy…. the My Prepaid Centre app now just out right sucks… you use once to add to wallet and never use it again

                          @Poor Ass: Yeah I agree, the app should be like the website. I will raise that as well!

                @AustinBlack: I should add, I am not sure if any other bank is. I am with Westpac and I have never been charged. I think someone below said HSBC was ok too.

                  @AustinBlack: My Westpac CC has never been charged a cash advance fee when purchasing from Giftz.com.au either.

                  It sounds like CBA has decided to include the purchase of gift cards as a cash-equivalent transaction (based off a previous comment) and they are looking at the merchant information provided to help determine whether a transaction should be considered a cash-equivalent transaction and therefore attract a cash advance fee, but that's my two cents… What do I know!

                  Whether you should count the purchase of single-load gift cards as a cash-equivalent transaction is an interesting debate, because you cannot (easily) obtain cash from gift cards, but then you are told by many gift card issuers to treat it like cash…

                    @WookieMonster: We have checked our MCC to make sure we are in the correct one and we've been told we are, it feels like this only just started to happen too which is so odd!

                      @AustinBlack: Oh, I was thinking more along the lines of the merchant name or the transaction description. Both of them contain gift cards in them (at least for me when I look at my Westpac CC), so CBA could be flagging the transactions based off that. To be fair, even if you get the transaction descriptions changed to something less obvious (e.g. GIFTZ.COM.AU MILSONS POINT), your payment gateway will probably be forever marked at CBA as one that does cash-equivalent transactions.

                      However, I find it strange that CBA apparently flag some transactions and don't flag others. Maybe there's a threshold before it gets flagged or something?

                        @WookieMonster: I am wondering if it is when people have gambling blocks on… I didn't actually know that was a thing until I read it recently!

      I just used my HSBC CC to purchase a $300 gift card and there was no cash advance fee. It appears on my statement as "GIFTCARD SVC BLACKHAWK MILSONS POIN 036".

        From memory: with CBA the charge was added +-3 days after the transaction, definitely not straight away. So there was no way to know right after the transaction.
        Just saying so you wouldn't make the conclusion now and never look back.

      We have escalated this to our payment gateway provider as we do not believe that gift cards should be treated like a lottery purchase and we are not sure why CBA have suddenly started to do this. Unfortunately we're not sure if the issue has been rectified as our ticket is doing the rounds with people being on leave. As soon as I know it's been fixed for sure I will let you know.

      Same, CBA charged cash advance fees and interest. I've both gambling and cash advance disabled on my credit card setting and I pointed that out to CBA to get the fee/interest reversed. I would personally use debit card for giftz.com.au to avoid dealing with banks.
