    Why someone would buy a $250 card for 2k points when you could go for 2x100 ones and pocket 2x2000 points? Or am I wrong?

    • Ge3ks on 13/03/2023 - 03:08

      Not sure what the points are worth, but you will being paying two lots of fees though.

      Maybe someone smart can do the math…

    • Keelix on 13/03/2023 - 11:58
      +1

      Previous deals were 10% off, $250 carries better value net of activation fee. Another reason is 5 cards limit per purchase, the higher total amount provides more free money.

  • OMGJL on 13/03/2023 - 03:16
    +21

    ok, time to run the math.

    2000 Flybuy points = $10 credit to buying stuff in Coles — can't shop almost anywhere else—- restricted buying power.
    Since I can regularly get 4% off Coles GC from RewardGateway, 2000 Flybuy point really means $9.6 worth of real money to me (might not be to you, YMMV)

    That means pay $105 to gain $109.6/ $110.

    So every $100 investment yield 4.38% or 4.76% profit.

    if you are not going to spend it straight away, you might as well don't buy this but instead put it into your saving account/mortgage offset account, for example:

    Virgin Money Boost Saver 4.55% p.a. Interest (4.85% p.a. with Lock Saver)
    Savings Maximiser 5.00% p.a. Interest on Balance up to $100,000 (Monthly Deposit, Balance & Spend Requirements) @ ING

    • Techefy on 13/03/2023 - 03:23

      Thanks, talking about the 250 card is even pointless I guess.
      Regarding putting money in the savings acct compared to this, don't forget 5% interest in them is per annum and this is sort of instance (or at most few weeks time depending on the rate you spend those cards).

      • OMGJL on 13/03/2023 - 03:24
        +1

        yes, it is p.a. which is listed in the link description. Hence I said "if you are not going to spend it straight away" so this took the time value of money away from our discussion.

        FYI $250 card will yield you 1.01% or 1.17% profit.

    • DJSmelly on 13/03/2023 - 05:55
      +3

      Don’t forget that the interest from the savings account is pre-tax which will lower the effective yield. Buying the Mastercard or mortgage offset is tax free.

    • z28 on 13/03/2023 - 09:44
      +1

      4.+% from ING is annual rate. Assuming points are used within a month, this Coles promotion is 4% a month (or 48% annually) and tax free.

      All about context.

    • formatc on 13/03/2023 - 11:21

      considering using coles group gift card buy this, it means using coles group gift card to pay council rate, or private insurance or utility bills with extra 4% benifit.

    • littlesoldier on 13/03/2023 - 11:32

      So true, basically any GiftCard purchases these days with less than 5% discount doesn’t worth it

      Better to save the money to earn interest or put in offset for home loan owners

      • OMGJL on 13/03/2023 - 11:41
        +1

        either you have use for it straight away (the longer you wait the higher risk of bin attack/physically lost the card/lost track of the card etc.),

        otherwise better put it in savings/offset.

    @richardl

    PLEASE NOTE IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE FAMILY FLYBUYS CARD THEN ONLY ANY ONE MEMBER WILL GET POINT.

    last time I had 10 cards with my and partner FLYBUYS which are connected as family members so I only got point with one FLYBUYS card not both so don't do that mistake.

    I created new FLYBUYS now without connecting it to family account to avoid similar mistake.

    • JerryB on 13/03/2023 - 10:32

      The T&Cs included in the post say this offer can be claimed up to five times per account.

      • SydBoy on 13/03/2023 - 14:12

        this is where there is ambiguity .. it says "per account" not per family membership.. ! so basically i had two account with two separate numbers but they were connected as family member online so they didn't give points to both the account but instead gave it to one flybuys only… ! and hence correct wording for terms and condition should be "per FAMILY" not "per account"… !

        anyways this time discount is not worth as most saving account give high or equal rates for time being … so no need to rush around… !

        ya but you don't lose money like what happens if cards are hacked …. so it's about risk and reward ration … so if there was 10% discount after fees then possibly people would take risk of hacking compared to putting it all in saving accounts .. !

    • Slo20 on 13/03/2023 - 21:03

      So only dumb people will buy these cards to pay for things they were already going to pay for at full price like rates / bills…. Call me dumb then.

      • SydBoy on 13/03/2023 - 22:06
        -2

        Rates don't give you discount and if you paying rate for a year in advance then yes you are dumb as you could earn interest by keeping money in savings account and pay the bill when they are due.

        Also, these cards get hacked easily so risk reward ratio isn't great to invest in this cards at times when bank saving rates are closed to 5%… !

        If discount was for 10% instead of points than may be worth running around to get few cards .. !

        • Slo20 on 14/03/2023 - 07:29

          We clearly aren’t on the same page. I never said anything about paying rates a year in advance so talking about bank saving rates is redundant. Let’s simplify it.

          Rates bill is due - option 1 pay it with normal credit card and get no discount.
          Step 2. Do your normal shop at coles and get no discount, or buy coles gift card for up to 4% discount.
          Option 2 - purchase 5x$100 prepaid Mastercard during your normal shop, use it straight away so chances of being hacked extremely low.
          Step 2: do your normal shop at coles with the 4% gift card plus $50 off your shop. $25 profit after Mastercard 5x$5 fee.

          The fact that this isn’t a flat 10% discount means there will be less idiots hiding these cards or buying more than their share so I don’t expect you will need to “run around to get a few cards”.

          • SydBoy on 14/03/2023 - 16:06

            @Slo20: lol … in that case for option 1 - you never mentioned that bills are due this week ! so let's forget about that part… !

            option 2 duable buy who buys $500 worth grocery in one day ? so not worth buying more then 1 gift card for $100 and use it .. !

            yes, i do agree this time it will be available easily as no one will buy $20,000 worth gift card that they bought last time when coles gave flat discount to $250 gift card… !

            • Slo20 on 14/03/2023 - 18:22

              @SydBoy: This will be my last reply because you seem to include your own stories.

              who buys $500 worth grocery in one day

              I never said buy $500 of groceries. I said buy $500 of prepaid Mastercards whilst doing your normal shop.

              you never mentioned that bills are due this week

              “buy these cards to pay for things they were already going to pay for at full price like rates / bills”

              Sure I didn’t say the date the bill was due but I wouldn’t already be paying for them if they weren’t due.

              • SydBoy on 14/03/2023 - 20:50
                -2

                @Slo20: same, my last reply as you seems to changing whole narrative on topic of discussion … !

                1. what is the point of $500 gift card while doing shoping? we are talking about benefits of buying … not when to buy … as everyone knows when to buy.. ! no point talking if that is what you trying to say … "when to buy" … lol :D :D

                2. again you mentioned no one buys for 1 year in advance but buy for the bills that are due now if they are not due now that means buying for future bills which again contradict argument to buy now and pay off to get instant discount as well avoid hacking possibility… ! :D

                i am sure there will be use for it for someone and buying to pay off same day does make some sense but buying to use over period of time means increase risk of hacking and not worth considering saving interest one gets in bank without hacking possibility.

          Bought Coles MC cards first time in June last year
          Reviews online were terrible for the Vanilla cards
          Not sure if the Vanilla cards can be converted easily to other cards like the Coles MC before they get hacked

          • WookieMonster on 16/03/2023 - 11:48
            +1

            @trixieb: I have purchased many Vanilla Visa gift cards myself and have not hard a single problem myself. To be fair:

            • I know how they are supposed to work (i.e. they only support signature verification for in-person purchases, not all merchants accept prepaid gift cards as a payment method), so I set my expectations accordingly.

            • I have never needed to contact support (e.g. because my card was hacked, because I was sold a gift card that was already activated).

            If you look at the Product Review page, there are some common themes:

            • Cards being hacked. (To be fair, this has been happening for a long time, because Vanilla Visa gift cards have been available in Australia for a long time.)

            • People not realising that signature verification is the only option for in-person purchases until they try to make a purchase, and then either don’t know how to use signature verification or the merchant refuses signature verification. If you are the one purchasing the gift card, it says on the back of the packaging use for purchases that do not require a PIN…

            • Cards having inactivity fees deducted from the card balance.1

            • A lot of “this card sucks” and “this card is a scam”, which isn’t really helpful in determining why someone thinks that.

            If you think about it, Vanilla Visa gift cards are mostly identical to Coles Mastercard gift cards, because the Coles Mastercard gift cards are a rebranded version of the Vanilla Visa gift card specifically created for Coles. They are both owned by InComm and are both issued by Heritage Bank. The key differences worth calling out are:

            • They operate on different card networks

            • Vanilla Visa gift cards have a higher card purchase fee

            • Vanilla Visa gift cards only support signature verification for in-person purchases, whereas Coles Mastercard gift cards can support a PIN for in-person purchases if you choose to set one.

            1. Only cards with expiry dates of before August 2023 have these fees, and it is generally illegal to sell such cards to a customer now. ↩

              • WookieMonster on 16/03/2023 - 12:00

                @trixieb: That was probably an OnlyONE Visa gift card. Some of those have PINs, some of those do not have PINs. It’s very inconsistent…

    • WookieMonster on 16/03/2023 - 11:24

        Oh cool any idea if it works to buy woolies gc with nrma?

    Can someone help me to understand this statement:
    BONUS POINTS can be awarded more than once for each Gift Card type including different denominations of the same Gift Card but can only be collected up to 5 times per Flybuys account.

    I understand 5 is the limit, can I buy 5x$100 cards in one transaction?

      Yes. Worked last time with the same promo. I prefer to split to get more fuel vouchers/free coffee

    Give me a 15% discount on these gift cards and I'll take the risk, otherwise, no thanks I'll wait for the discount gift card from Woolworths

    Wow! Something instead of the pre-diabetus sugar offers of Whittakers and OJ

    These offers only happen around once every six months and I wait for them. I buy the cards with my platinum edge amex (see referrals), use them to pay my rates because I wouldn't otherwise get any frequent flyer points for paying rates and then get 1.5 points per dollar. I don't mind being 6 months ahead on rate payments.

      I pay 3 sets of rates in Victoria and can use AMEX. Some councils do not allow but I can do it using Post Billpay.

    I've been fortunate, Reckon ive gone through 100 or more if the $250 denominations over the last few years, none hacked. 2 left in drawer… Fingers crossed.

    How are the gyozas now?

    • trixieb on 13/03/2023 - 21:08

      They don't mix well with MasterCard

    What alternatives are there for Coles eGift cards? I've been getting them with 3% discount on Macquarie Marketplace, but this morning I see that Coles cards are no longer available there.

      shopback 2%

    • SydBoy on 14/03/2023 - 16:07

      macquarie doesn't allow you to use external cards to basically you pay through your macquarie saving accounts .. not worth it.. !

      • Chris T on 14/03/2023 - 16:30

        I have found buying eGift cards in Macquarie Marketplace very straightforward. This morning I was going to transfer $97 to my Macquarie account (which arrives immediately), purchase a $100 Coles eGift card, and download it straight away. In contrast I find the Shopback app / Superswap / Prezzee process very messy.

          The point I was making is that you can't use Coles discount MasterCard to purchase discounted Coles e-gift card through Macquarie bank as they don't allow outside payment method.

          Shopback isn't messy at all , once you saved your credit card then it is even much easy to order through shopback.

        • cumova on 14/03/2023 - 17:29

          Macquarie doesn't have coles gift cards anymore. I just checked and see above. Any reason why?
          I remember they dropped off last year I think as well but came back shortly after

  • Ovapoweredqcumba on 14/03/2023 - 09:50

    Does anyone know if I can use a Coles Mastercard giftcard to purchase an Ultimate Everyone Gift Card and stack with this offer: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/762234

  • Chris T on 14/03/2023 - 11:34

    Can I use a Coles eGift card to pay for a Coles Mastercard gift card?
