        Happy with that

        I’d prefer the deal to be limited to 5 so more people can get them and hopefully the deal comes up more regularly

          Having more frequent prepaid gift card deals is only a good thing if Coles stores can get more stock in between deals, because Coles stores (at least in my area) are generally rubbish at restocking Coles Mastercard gift cards in between deals.

          The area I am in at the moment is only having the bonus points deal on Coles Mastercard gift cards. Having visited four different stores over the last few days, all four had no Coles Mastercard gift cards at all on their gift card shelves, but I managed to find some $100s and $250s today at one store, because someone thankfully already moved some $100s and $250s to a small temporary gift card island being used to promote Mother’s Day.

      • Neoika on 19/04/2023 - 22:51

        What the limit if the same flybuys used in the NSW and VIC to buy them on the same day?

    • Dealseeker21 on 19/04/2023 - 23:28

      It's "per day", I tried to get a 6th card and the discount did not apply

      Hopefully not per 24 hours, I'll find out about 8am tomorrow when I go for my next batch of 15 cards

      Yes daily limit is enforced. I bought 4 at one coles and another 4 at another Coles and only saw discount on one card in the second round. Didn't know why as I didn't check T&C but tried again with another flybuys account and it worked. Note it combines the limit on both $100 and $250 card.

    I did the split payment using coles myer group gc at staff operated checkout, no issues.

    • dealsgrabber on 20/04/2023 - 08:31

      How come others are getting an error? What different did you do? Did you pay part by credit card first and then used the Coles Myer GC? Can you please elaborate a bit more on exactly what did you do?

    • apple0604 on 20/04/2023 - 09:03

      Interesting. I tried split payment at the service desk yesterday. Trying to pay $200 first with Coles Myer Group gc and got declined. After she tried twice I told her I would just pay the whole amount with credit card.

    • samehada on 20/04/2023 - 09:22

      • apple0604 on 20/04/2023 - 11:19

        Yes, I only had $200 Coles Myer gc and actually kept it for use at Shell Express or Officeworks. Yesterday I merely wanted to try.

  • Craze on 20/04/2023 - 08:55

    The 5th card came back with activation error this morning oddly! I only bought 4 yesterday and had no issues, so wondering if it's just a dodgy card or system thing as recall seeing others commenting similar experiences?

    • apple0604 on 20/04/2023 - 08:59

      I believe it is a system thing. Was at Coles yesterday trying to buy 5 at self checkout and stuff stopped me and sent me to service desk. Manager at the service desk said system has been very glitchy the whole morning, ie self checkout machines just froze for some reason.

      Went to coles chadstone service desk and got 2 x $250 not sure if they have anymore though.

  • illusion99 on 20/04/2023 - 09:53

    Bought 5x $250 cards. Coles charged me for 5 cards but one card failed to activate. They spent 15 mins on the phone trying to figure out what was going on. Then they tried to refund but the system doesn’t allow refunds on gift card so they had to call a manager over who spent another 15 mins trying to understand the issue and calling around to see why it was declined. And then the manager tried to issue a refund again but she ended up charging me another $231 instead of refunding. I had to leave for another appointment so now I have to go back and wait for probably another 30min while they try and figure how to refund me properly again.

    So just hope you don’t get activation errors when purchasing as it’s a nightmare just to get your money back as they will charge you regardless of if it activates or not

      Same thing happened to me tonight but got told to go back tomorrow when the day manager is on to get a refund. I think it's just a bad batch of cards and pot luck. They said cos I did it over multiple debit cards thats why it declined.
      Will go back tomorrow and buy more :)

    • Kerorooo on 22/04/2023 - 12:41

      Happened to me as well. After 10 mins of discussion the staff said they cannot refund and gave me another card (the very last one!) instead - I have no idea what if that one failed too lol

    • Dealseeker21 on 23/04/2023 - 15:05

      They can refund if they select the correct way to process it.

      I would not be leaving the store with a receipt stating not activated.

      I had 3 that wouldn't activate and after 20 mins they eventually worked out how to refund, after telling me about 20 times they can not refund gift cards, but as the product they sold me was "faulty" as in not activated, I wasn't leaving until the refund was processed.

        The self-serve checkout wouldn’t allow me to make a split payment and because the balance of my Grocery Gift Card wouldn’t cover the full cost of the Coles Gift Card I was unable to try.

  • ra3m3 on 20/04/2023 - 12:46

    Is there a limit on the number of cards you can buy?

    • WookieMonster on 20/04/2023 - 12:56
      +3

      As per the first line of the deal terms (which is in bold in OP’s description), the limit is 5 gift cards per Flybuys account per day.

      Someone tried to purchase a 6th gift card yesterday, but no discount was applied at the checkout.

      If you turn up with more than one fully registered Flybuys account to a store, it is really pot luck whether the staff at the store will let you purchase more than 5 gift cards in one visit.

      • lostgoat on 20/04/2023 - 14:27

        So meaning 5 total cards for both $100's and $250's ?
        Or 5 from each denomination ?

      • mrvaluepack on 20/04/2023 - 18:17

        • WookieMonster on 20/04/2023 - 19:20

          That does not always work…

          I was at one store during the recent Vanilla Visa deal where the customer in front of me at the standard checkout purchased 5x $250s, and they grabbed a temporary Flybuys card on the way out. I purchased my solitary $250 and left the store, but realised I forgot to grab some milk. When I went back in a few minutes later and passed through the self checkout to purchase the milk, the same customer was having an argument with the manager on duty. The manager on duty was the same person who authorised the first purchase of 5x $250s a few minutes earlier, but from what I could hear, they were refusing to authorise another purchase of 5x $250s. I have no idea what happened in the end.

          • mrvaluepack on 20/04/2023 - 19:30

            @WookieMonster: Each flybuys card needs to be activated with a valid unique phone number and email address in order for the discount to work.

        This time, due to the FB scanning and reduction in ability to use/re-use the cards it's just me doing 15 X 250's per day

          It's just those quite times your lucky to get more than 1 lot ( 5 cards ) out per store . Sometimes a checkout is far enough from the service counter or the self service to get away with it if both are manned. Busier times you can get 3 lots out .

        Usually takes a few days for word to get around the "normal people"

        The "hackers" who were buying hundreds of cards and recycling them this time are not there, hence stock being around for longer

        They "should" get restocked prior to Tuesday

    • WookieMonster on 22/04/2023 - 11:16

      Coles Mastercard gift cards are usually sent by courier to a store, and it is to up to Coles staff (usually the store manager) when those gift cards are made available for sale. From what a duty manager once told me, the store needs to order stock from head office ahead of a deal, so if a store did not order a lot of stock (or there are delays in the courier getting the gift cards to the store), you can have stock issues. Of course, that is only one explanation, because you could have staff keep stock for themselves, people stealing stock from one store so it can be purchased at another store, staff forgetting they even have any gift cards in storage, etc.

      As an aside…

      • For some other types of gift cards (and/or store locations), you may have a rep from the gift card company turn up with a bag of gift cards and restock the gift card shelves as they see fit. I saw this happen once at a suburban Coles store when a TCN rep was restocking TCN gift cards a few days after a 15% off deal. I suspect TCN would not do this for Coles stores in rural/regional areas.

      • I think Blackhawk Network usually sends their gift cards via courier to a Coles store, as I have never seen a Blackhawk Network rep restock gift cards, plus I have only seen at Coles (and Woolworths) suburban stores courier boxes with the sender listed as Blackhawk Network.

      • lostgoat on 22/04/2023 - 11:23

        I noticed around 6 mths ago some of the cards have security tags that set of the alarms.

I then pulled a catelogue off the shelf and politely showed them the relevant fine print for next time. They trust their categlogue more than their customers for some reason.

    Some $250 cards still available at both Wodonga stores

    (Quite new to FlyBuys sorry)

    I'm right in thinking these GC purchases have no other benefit to your FB account (inc gaining points or triggering offers) apart from the obvious decent cash discount, is that right?

      U still get points on what you paid for (e.g: 231 points for the $250 card after discount), but in won't trigger your X spend for Y bonus. Also, in term of future offer, there's actually a drawback, that they'd count this as ur spending habit (so ur usual X spend get Y bonus, might become $300 spending, instead of $50, in the near future)

    Has anyone tried to ring up customer service to lock cards temporarily? How easy to do that? Intend to keep 3 cards for future use.
