            @SickDmith: I found an old $30 iTunes card at the back of a cupboard recently—must’ve received it as a promo from somewhere before I was invested in the Apple ecosystem, so had never used it.

            It was old enough to have a 2-year expiry so now long past it, but being a rebel I still tried to redeem it to my Apple account balance just in case. It worked—score!

        How many Apple gift card stickers do you have, out of curiosity? I’m assuming you got at least 72 from the first Woolworths / Apple gift card deal…

          You know, I did add them all up, but I didn’t keep a record of that statistic! I think they have five different designs at any particular time, so it’s not too hard to collect a set. They seem to refresh the designs occasionally. I wish I could say that I was able to get mostly variable cards, for the environment’s sake, but alas, it was a very mixed bunch of denominations. I actually couldn’t care less for the stickers, but I suppose presentation is important since it is a “gift” card after all

    • nfenech on 31/01/2023 - 18:28

      I use them for my apple music subscription. So getting them with a discount helps.

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 31/01/2023 - 20:56

      If there's a sign in the store, what does it matter?

      Further, if the discount isn't applied, then don't proceed with payment.

      • bobcrankypants on 31/01/2023 - 20:57

        I was gonna drop by first thing in the morning, maybe before the signage, but yes, you're right, I forgot that this is a discount instead of the usual Flybuy points.

    As described, there is a limit of five $20 gift cards per transaction. Nobody complains when I run them through successively in batches of five, but they should — this is tedious!

          You must have friends in high places.

          “Why do you want so many $20 Apple Gift Cards?”

          “The $20 ones is all they have. Annoying, hey?”

          “I have an awful lot of friends, but I don’t like them to think I have too much money.”

          “To annoy the shit out of you. Sorry — I’m a sadist, you see.”

      That's what I did last time round when it was 10% off Google Play.

      In this deal's case, ozbargain pro's will be grabbing 5 at Coles then heading straight to OW to get another 5 with 5% price beat.

        Staff. She said something about 5 per person per transaction because it was on the catalogue or promotion fine print. But I said there were none and if she could check then she said a bullshit answer that one person can only buy 1

          It must be tough in the customer service business. I think I might start out optimistically with a smile on my face, the will to go that extra mile, and a heart of gold. But, soon enough, the customer would grind me down and I’d settle for the bullshit answer every time

            @djlee: I didn’t get called out. They lied flat out and I played by their rules. They said there was fine print on the flyer when there was no flyer and no fine print on the catalogue because the sale didn’t exist on the catalogue.

            Looks like you’re one of those people. Why are you on this site anyways? If you love the system so much, feel free to pay full price for everything.

              @sunnyc: let me get this straight: you think that because there's "no flyer and no fine print on the catalogue because the sale didn't exist on the catalogue", that you should get access to a sale that, by your logic, doesn't exist? that's wild.

    • Vanessa1234 on 01/02/2023 - 13:42

      My two local Coles’ have signs stating limit of 5 giftcards per customer (or is that transaction?), seems to be generic.

  • VantageXL on 01/02/2023 - 11:38

    There are at least fifty of the $20 gift cards left at Coles Bayswater (VIC).

  • cliener on 01/02/2023 - 13:40

    30 odd cards at Coles @ The Well (Camberwell, VIC). The checkout protested when I reached 5 but it got cleared by the staffer on duty.
    No signage anywhere.

  • pressdarling on 01/02/2023 - 13:42

    Probably 50 at Coles Balaclava (VIC)

      more useful info:

      • I went to a staffed checkout with 5, staff member sent me to the customer service desk after showing me the "ARE YOU FALLING FOR A SCAM" flyer and telling me a manager had to process because it was more than 5. ok sure, whatever, not everyone's good at maths.
      • the manager there processed all 5 - system took a minute to digest it all but it went through.
      • 15% off at the checkout, so $85 for 5 x $20
      • didn't try activating until I got home about 45 minutes later, they were all scanned and on my apple account balance within 3 minutes

      I can't remember (and cbf'd searching to check) but I think this might be the first 15% off since 2021. that's a few months of cheaper apple music/subscriptions/applecare, and more tangible than flybuys/everyday rewards.

      • VantageXL on 01/02/2023 - 16:51
        +3

        I think this might be the first 15% off since 2021

        App Store & iTunes gift cards were regularly 15% off up until May 2021. Apple Gift Cards were then introduced and there were four 30x points promotions (roughly equivalent to 15% off depending on who you ask) at Coles, Woolworths and Big W from August to October 2021. Since then it's just been a steady stream of 20x points offers so it's nice to see something different.

      Some say it'll reduce the Flybuys offers you would otherwise get. I don't see that as an issue as I never receive any Flybuys offers of note.

      Woolworths, on the other hand, is prolific with its offers even though I purchase copious amounts of discounted gift cards.

  • tharlow on 02/02/2023 - 18:11

    You do get a Flybuys point per dollar spent on the gift cards, so that’s slightly better than nothing. I got 6k Flybuys points from yesterday’s effort, but I am exhausted. Today’s reduced haul will be make me seriously question my sanity

      Lucky you! My local claimed it needed to be an online accessible special, as did the call centre who then hung up on me when I pointed out that no where in their guarantee did it say that.

    • WookieMonster on 04/02/2023 - 15:05
      +1

      There's two likely reasons for you being limited to five.

      • The pricebeat guarantee clearly states that Officeworks reserves the right to limit the pricebeat to "reasonable retail quantities". Considering the Coles deal is limited to 5 gift cards per customer, it would be reasonable for Officeworks to stick to that limit.

      • Officeworks limits gift card sales to a maximum of 5 per customer as well. It says this much on the Officeworks website. If you were purchasing instore, there should have been signs at the gift card shelf mentioning this limit too.

    99 gift cards, 12 Coles visits, 2.5 days, 2 hours work to save over $450 (15% gift cards, 5% cashback, 3% C/C cashback). Well worth the effort to buy an iPad Pro 11 inch 256GB, airpods, case and pen all with edu discount.

    • harshbdmmaster718 on 04/02/2023 - 19:56

      I think you didn't mention something important. You got the M2 model iPad Pro 11 right? Because that's all Apple sells at their store now.

      Because Officeworks had a recent great deal for the M1 model 11 inch for $1050. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/752376
