      • i read someone used their cba debit card and it worked

        • Tried CBA debit card:
          error: Card type not accepted.

      • CBA worked for me - with netbank verification code

      • CBA worked for me, BOQ didn't for a second transaction.

    • I managed to get 3 times with st George and westpac

    • bankwest failed 3 times for me

  • Can someone explain how I can use these gift cards online to buy an iphone

    • buy gift card, add to your apple account, go to apple app store and buy and it just uses the credit. thats my understanding unless i am wrong but someone can confirm this too :)

      • i think you need to select “use apple account balance” or whatever it’s called when you checkout in the apple store, I got stung by not doing that part last year and had to call them

      • +2

        If you add Apple Gift Cards to your account they will not be able to be used at a physical Apple Store. I learnt the hard way.

        • +1

          Pretty sure you can order online with Apple balance (GC's added to account) then click and collect or free delivery.

        • +1

          yup have to go online and place a click and collect order. GC can be added while purchasing.

          Apple store wont be able to use your balance or e-giftcard. They only take physical giftcard

        • Yep, and if you can find the iphone you want at a discounted price from one of apples authorised resellers, you can get the physical store or someone on the phone (133-MAC) to price match (listed as 'Deal Closer' on the invoice). Then they ask for a few bits like apple ID, phone number etc. then CC details for payment. ask can you pay with gift cards and use a credit card for any remaining balance. You literally read the 15 or 16 character gift card code, and they'll confirm the amount. Rinse repeat, and that's about it.

          • @Bob Loblaw: Can they use your account balance if you order over the phone?

            • +1

              @unity1: Not sure as I paid direct with the GCs. it certainly felt like i could have paid with an account balance, but i haven't tried to do that before.

              You can always ring 133-mac and just say "purchase <device>" and it will put you through to a salesperson. Just ask, can you pay for a phone order with an apple account balance.

    • Buy gift cards - Buy iPhone with said gift cards

  • silly question but if i decide to buy a gift card say 1k and plan to buy an iphone but then somehow i get hooked onto samsung later on, can i just sell the 1k gift cards i bought ebay so I can get my money back from it?

    • +4

      I'll buy them off you at 60% of their face value. /s

    • You'd be able to sell them in the classifieds without losing anything.

      • you mean like gumtree?

      it will be difficult if it is digital unless you meet up and exchange in person.

    • +1

      It's best NOT to sell it on feeBay. Not because feeBay never waived the final value fees on gift cards, but digital gift cards have zero seller protection.

      It's useless to send an e-mail proof that you sent the information to the buyer. Even if you sent physical copies, the buyer can still claim that YOU already claimed them. If your feeBay username is like your OZB username, then I really doubt you can win the case.

      Even if you managed to sell it to a good buyer, the feeBay fees would be 11%+ so are you able to sell even at break even price? Most people could wait for the 10% off Woolies or Coles.

    • You can buy now and still sell for some profit. Apple or JB gift card usually sell easily at 10% off.

  • Wonder why CBA is having trouble

    • Too many large transactions to same Business?

      Most of us have a CBA card.

      • Used my Amex first
        All ok

        Then tried CBA M/C
        Nope

        Lastly 28 degrees
        Yep ( after i entered the code they messaged)

    • +1

      Try using your phone. I used microsoft edge on desktop and it failed. On mobile using safari (iOS) gives a prompt to enter net code and all worked fine.

      • ^ this! I don't know why i had this issue, but this was my ultimate issue. Bank blocked my debit card because i didnt receive the prompt on desktop browser (clean profile/no adblockers etc.) and i did re-try several times.

      • All mine are on mobile

        No laptop/PC as am travelling atm

        • +1

          do you have adblockers on your mobile browsers? I've seen that sometimes mess up bank verification popups.

          No laptop/PC as am travelling atm

          Probably thats why. Drop a message to your bank people to unblock your card from automatic protection 😉

  • Used Amex and got error message but checked email and the order went through. Put in another order with the same Amex card before realising the successful first order and 2nd order went through without error message/issues. Strange…

    Now waiting for the gift cards 😬

    Rinse and repeat…

  • +10

    Got 3k worth then was able to call apple online who price matched the 14 inch mac pro m2 pro (sell price $3199) costco $2999 so pretty good over all price $2550 for apple that retails at $3199. Thanks OP.

    • how fast did you get your gift card?

      • +2

        I got them within 2.5 hours of purchase same card same email.

    • Does anyone know if you can call and price match iPhones? Or is not an item that you can price match? Also on the phone can you use your Apple balance or you have to leave the gift card no added to your Apple balance

    • omg. called 3 apple stores in VIC to try to PM the iphone 14 pro max with costco, they all said no. which store did you call??

      • how much is it in costco?

    • +2

      Its $2840 at AOC which is what i got it through.

      • Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does AOC stand for?

        • Apple on Campus CMIIW

    • This is just simply not true, I've contacted Apple Online and Costco is not an authorised retailer, rather a wholesaler. If others would like to check themselves contact Apple 133 622, it is a policy that they do not price match Costco.

        -A$ 200.00

        • Hi MR E - I am after the same laptop and are you able to share your receipt? Thank you

    • Hi is the amount $2550 after using the 15% gift cards?

  • Does anyone have a gauge for the approx. cost of the iPhone 15 pro max/ultra 256gb and 512gb models?

    • My prediction would be $2.4k-$2.7k for ‘ultra’

    • +1

      Same price as previous models in US dollars. But, because the Aussie dollar is currently overvalued, probably an increase of… say… 15% on current prices by release date. Hurry up and buy more gift cards woohoo!

  • does anyone else have the same issue? I placed an order for 2*$500 but only received one egift card email. btw, this only happens to my last order

    • Did u get a tax invoice for both?

      • Yes, checked tax invoice couple times and it's $850

    • +3

      mine came in separate emails, at different times

      iTunes gc could not be used for store purchases. They were regularly 30% off anyway.

      • When were Apple Gift Cards available at 30% discount?

        • I said iTunes gc not apple.

      • Yup iTunes GC was only usable for music/movies only.

        I think it's a good move Apple decided to combine their GC. Allows deals like this and any leftover can be used to pay for movie rentals/subscriptions etc.

      • Yup and Harvey Norman occasionally ran 1/2 price for the $20 or buy one get one free for the $20.

      • iTunes gift cards were able to be used for Apple Store/hardware purchases once they merged the two gift cards. If you had old ones still around, you’d get a pretty decent discount off the hardware.

    • you do know that no one's selling itunes gc anywhere in Australia anymore right?

  • The order was placed at 12:00, and I still haven't received the gift card.

    • mine 12:30. not received yet

    • 12:12 - order placed, invoice received
      15:50 - card received (I only bought $100)

      • btw, tax invoice was put into Spam folder by Gmail, but card details arrived normally, but I guess you are checking both inbox and spam folders :)

    I have tried to purchase on my Mac and on a mobile, bank with comm bank and keeps rejecting. Even after Netbank code, have tried 5 times!
    What am I doing wrong?

    • I read somewhere above in the comments section that someone needed to call CBA to get them to unblock the transactions and to notify them that this is in fact, legitimate transaction. Maybe try that?

      Also, stop your adblocker for this page. May not be helpful but it did stopped me from buying for first few times (stuck on loading screen).

  • +4

    This deal is so much better then those in store gift card that get hidden day before and best part you can buy as many as you like love it 😍 I bought 3K Christmas is sorted for me woohoo THANKS

  • Ordered 8:52AM AWST (11:52 AEDT)
    Received now 1:54PM AWST (4:54PM AEDT)

    • It did say wait up to 4 hours

      • 5 hours and two minutes though

    I am surprised Coles Group hasn't been bankrupted by now.

    @tharlow Have you cleaned out your savings account?

    • +1

      Maybe Coles is showing them how their products are considered 15% over priced.

  • No update on the giftcards. Ordered since 12:48 PM.
    Anyone with the same issues?
    2 different orders. 500 & 1000. On different accounts.

  • Placed order at 12:00 pm just received the GC now 5:15pm

    • Similar ordered at 1pm came through at 5:40pm seems like they are roughly 5 hour delay

  • What a PITA - after trying multiple times throughout the day and always getting the "Transaction failed, please contact customer service" error (even doing the SMS auth) - I finally tried again just now and managed to do 2 separate orders for $500 each which worked (same credit card tried each time today)

    • +1

      And here I am still on the fence. Pretty much I am going to be guaranteeing a purchase at the Apple store, for 15% savings. But I don't really plan to buy anything in the near future.
      Those who are churning through them by buying then using straight away are doing it right though.

      • Yep learnt too many times not to stock up on gift cards unless I absolutely need it. You end up losing your % gains over time as you're forgoing interest at the bank!

        • Yes you should definitely have something planned/needed to buy within a short time frame. Best case is buy straight away but if you plan to buy something in a few weeks you should definitely load them into your account otherwise risk losing track of them.
          The worst case scenario is if you are not a big Apple customer and just thought it would be "a good idea". Then if you realize you are not going to use them and sell them on a marketplace you might only be able to sell at further discount or get scammed and lose the whole lot.

          I have a budget iPad and Apple TV, but not exactly a typical Apple customer upgrading every 1 or 2 years. So I don't think it's a good idea. I already have enough to pay for my Apple TV Stan movie service subscription which I loaded up from the Flybuys offer.

  • Didn’t work even tried $500 at a time.
    Talked with CBA twice and giftcards.com.AU once. All said nothing wrong on their side. Giving up is the only choice

    • The only other thing I did differently (besides doing 1 x $500 instead of 2) was to:
      - NOT tick the "Use this as shipping address" box at the bottom of the page where you're accepting conditions, etc
      - and then on the next page choosing to Ship to billing address (and it fills your name and email from the previous page)
      - then complete the rest of the order as per before

      • I used incognito mode on Google Chrome and my 3 transactions all went through without an issue. Paid using Amex.

    • Try mobile. It worked without issues on mobile for me

  • Ordered at 1pm via visa card. Got the invoices, just waiting for gift cards.

    • +1

      just got mine at 5:40pm after ordering at 1pm

      • +1

        Just got 2 $500 cards around 6pm. Waiting for a final $500 card. Orders were roughly 2mins apart so fingers crossed.
        Edit: final order received: 6:30.

        Total: $1500
        Card: visa
        Same card, email & details for both orders. So don't think the 1k limit is being enforced at all… not yet anyway. Maybe just a fomo marketing strategy? lol.

        • Yeah I think it's just limit of 1k per transaction. Best deal in a long time especially when combined with student portal.

  • Thanks OP, just bought $2500 worth! :)

  • Ordered around 1230pm, email invoice shortly after, and just got the 2x GC emails 5pm. Thanks OP! got there in the end

    I don't even use apple, why do I need it

    There are a lot of apple fan boys here.

  • What's the price of iPhone 13 in EPP?

    • you don't need anything special to order/get the price, just type in apple education and you can see/order the products…

      No discount for iphones

  • Has anybody been able to redeem Apple gift cards without having an apple device. I want to buy and add them to my apple ID balance to pay for Apple TV+, but I have previously tried to redeem a card with no luck.

    If I go to apple.com/redeem it tries to open an iTunes webpage which doesn't work on chrome on Android. I have previously tried apple "support" and they couldn't solve it before I gave up.

    • +2

      Here's some information from support that may help you redeem:

      Redeem a gift card on a Windows PC

      • Find the 16-digit code on the back of the card. For some gift cards, you might need to peel or gently scratch off the label to see the code.
      • Open iTunes.
      • From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Account.
      • Choose Redeem.
      • Sign in and follow the instructions on the screen.

      Redeem a gift card on your Android device

      • Find the 16-digit code on the back of the card. For some gift cards, you might need to peel or gently scratch off the label to see the code.
      • Open the Apple Music app.
      • Tap the menu button , then tap Account.
      • Tap Redeem Gift Card or Code.
      • Enter the 16-digit code. Then tap Redeem.

      You just need to download an Apple specific app and redeem inside, seems like Apple Music is the best choice for you on Android. Download Apple Music, login to your Apple ID and redeem. Then delete if required.

      • If only it worked like Apple says it should. The Apple Music app on android doesn't actually give the redeem gift card option. Apple support reply was 'I’m sorry, but Apple Music through the Google store and Apple Music through Apple are different. You can sign up Apple Music through Apple and redeem your Apple gift card on your computer or Apple device'.

        It appears that I need to download itunes onto a windows computer, which I don't have. And I don't have apple device so I don't think there is anyway for me to use an apple gift card.

      • Do I need an Apple account to redeem the gift card? Can I use the gift card directly in the Apple Store online?

    • buy the cheapest working iphone on ebay

  • +1

    Anyone tried ordering just then and checkout without issues? I try getting another 2 x 500 and all encountered transaction error.
    Maybe they’re closed?
