      Split payment is easy at coles worth self checkout. Otherwise I use post bill pay to use odd balances.

      The alternative if you have no bills to pay or no grocery to buy from coles/woolies (being a spoilt kid living with parents like I was) is to buy Amazon gift card which can be down to $1

      I think they just always run a promotion on Mastercard gift cards at this time of year.

      • 14/6/2023 - 10% off

      • 15/6/2022 - 10% off

      • 16/6/2021 - 10% off

      • 10/6/2020 - 2,000 points

      A similar pattern can be observed in March as well:

      • 15/3/2023 - 2,000 points

      • 16/3/2022 - 2,000 points

          Looking at the historical data a bit closer, I believe the next most likely date for a 10% off Mastercard gift cards promotion is 18 October 2023. The bonus points promotions on Mastercard gift cards are more common so there will almost certainly be some of those between now and then (perhaps one will be on 9 August 2023?).

          All of this is purely a guess, though. They've been doing weird things with these promotions this year so I wouldn't be at all surprised if none of my predictions materialise.

      If you want to earn points with ATO payments, I think this is the best way. 0.5% surcharge only, and no need to use third party websites if your card doesn't allow points on government spend.

        +1

        How often did the digital offer come?

        It has only happened once, so I have no idea how often InComm (the gift card scheme owner) or Coles (the company that licenses its brand for use on the prepaid gift card) want to run those kinds of deals.

        Where do I get it for next time?

        The only place I know of that sells digital Coles Mastercard gift cards is Coles Group’s online gift card portal.

        Is it easy to use in store and online?

        Sort of.

        Digital Coles Mastercard gift cards only support card-not-present transactions. In other words, they only support transactions where you only need to provide the card number, expiry date and CVC2 to initiate payment (and that is assuming the merchant asks for the CVC2). You may be asked for a cardholder name, but for prepaid gift cards, it can be literally anything (e.g. Donald Duck, Homer Simpson).

        In terms of instore purchases, digital Coles Mastercard gift cards do not support mobile wallets, so the only instore redemption method available is MOTO (mail order / telephone order). Good luck finding a merchant that (a) knows what MOTO is and (b) will willingly let you pay for something in-person via MOTO.

        In terms of online purchases, digital Coles Mastercard gift cards will only be accepted at merchants that choose to accept it as a payment method. Considering digital Coles Mastercard gift cards are not tied to a verified cardholder and do not support security features found on many debit and credit cards (e.g. 3-D Secure), some merchants will choose not to accept them out of concern the gift card has been fraudulently obtained and therefore more likely to be associated with a fraudulent transaction. You can scroll through the 23 pages of comments of the aforementioned deal to get a sense of what worked and what didn’t work…

        • truetypezk on 18/06/2023 - 17:08
          +1

          I actually had quite a bit success with MOTO. Most merchants who dont know MOTO are actually willing to let you MOTO when the transaction is a reasonable amount (>$100) because they are unaware of the fraud exposure related to MOTO and want to close a sale. You just need to guide them how to MOTO.

          Also most dentists/optometrists/ specialist/hospitals who have your personal info are pretty willing to put MOTO through on HICAPS terminals (It is under NAB Applications- manual card entry instead of using the MOTO term) They seem to be more aware of the "manual card entry" capability compared to regular retailers.

          • WookieMonster on 18/06/2023 - 22:37

            @truetypezk: I must say my experience has been pretty much the opposite. Pretty much every time I have asked about MOTO, I either get told no or staff get very suspicious of me wanting to guide them in using their EFTPOS terminal.

            The only MOTO transaction that I have managed to do in-person recently was at a hotel, but the hotel staff member insisted on seeing my physical credit card and they would key it into the EFTPOS terminal themselves. No chance of me doing anything sneaky there.

            I will also mention that when I volunteered at a cafe a few years ago (and part of the job was using the EFTPOS terminal to accept payments), one of the managers instructed me as part of training to never accept MOTO transactions. There was actually a case of a transaction dispute arising from a MOTO transaction not long before I started volunteering there, and that caused the two managers a massive headache, even though the amount being disputed was around $5…

  • Stingo on 10/06/2023 - 19:58

    Sucks if I have to provide them with an email and mobile number. I wonder if they consider old registrations that pre-date those requirements fully registered. Well I suppose I'll find out next week if there are still any cards in stock by the time I get to my usual Coles.

    BTW, it seems you can go somewhat over the loaded value of these in some circumstances. I unintentionally managed to go over paying my council rates because they charge a card fee and the way my council or rather their software package uses Paypal. Like a normal Paypal payment I was redirected to Paypal and had to confirm the payment amount which at this point didn't have the card fee included but unlike a normal payment Paypal stated it was only going to pre-auth the card and the rest of the payment was to be completed on the council's website. At the council's web site I was asked me to confirm the payment this time with the card fee added and they generated their own receipt. So it would seem that for some combination of payment processor/issuer you can exceed a pre-auth when finalising a transaction even if that takes the transaction above available funds. You would think that shouldn't be possible especially with a non-reloadable prepaid card.

    • Stingo on 15/06/2023 - 23:01

      Seems that Coles aren't enforcing the fully registered criteria at least in my case. This was a FlyBuys account that was never requested and came unsolicited to a Coles Mastercard holder. That Mastercard was closed without notice but the FlyBuys account lives on and it also linked to my card. Not sure whether I was lied to or there was a spatial or communication issue but was initially told no stock was received as of Wednesday evening but $100 cards managed to be found after I asked a manager. They were sold to me by the staff member I asked in the first places.

I could tell the self checkout assistant was extremely hesitant to let me purchase 10x $100, but she told me not to tell her supervisor what I was doing and that I could definitely not purchase any more than ten.

      • During the last 10% off Coles Mastercard gift card deal, a customer just bought 5x $250s at the self checkout next to me and wanted to purchase more. The self checkout assistant called over the store manager to authorise the second transaction, then the store manager said that the gift card purchase limit was 5 gift cards per customer and they would not authorise any more purchases for them. The customer then argued with the store manager for a couple of minutes - essentially, the customer argued the catalogue only had limits for each Flybuys account, but the store manager pointed out there were two posters at the top of the gift card shelf saying limit of 5 gift cards per customer - and the store manager eventually got fed up and asked them to leave the store.

        I feel arguing with or even trying to politely convince a team member to sell you more is never an efficient use of time. I normally bring 2 sets of 5 cards to the checkout, if they happily put it through without saying anything, I will return to the same checkout and buy another 2 sets. If they refuse to sell me the 2nd set, then just say alright that's fine and go to a different register or drive to another store. Time is literally money on Wednesdays as it is the only day most stores still have some cards on the shelf and worthy of doing drive arounds.

          Exactly, the only time I had to argue was my very first purchase in the last round.

          Self-Checkout was closed early in the morning, so went to the service counter

          Forgot to scan my Flybuys and purchased the cards at full price

          Initially the girl didn't want to refund as she wasn't allowed to, then the excuse was the system wouldn't let her

          3 staff members later, got the refund and purchased 5 at the correct discounted price

          Drawing attention to yourself to try to get more than 5, is not productive

          Go elsewhere/different store or checkout and move on

          My local Coles hides the $250s. Funny thinking I guess, running a promo and hiding stock.

            @t25: go to rich / wealth suburb of wherever you are living and let everyone know how you cracked the code :D

            @t25: Might be someone else living in your suburb who did that. This person is likely reading your comment too

        I agree it all depends upon staff on duty at that time but my experience since i started buying is that the western sydney suburb is worst … they literally have two staff standing next to me watching like i can take card in my pocket and run away and redeem it … !!

        staff should learn that each flybuy can have 5 cards and don't argue or waste time trying to stand next to customer buying this cards … ! if someone has two coles card then again don't waste time because as i shared last time same family member with two different card get discount once only if their flybuy accounts are connected … so the only way one can have discount twice is if they have two separate card not connected on flybuy account and if that is the case then staff should just let customer buy .. !!!

          You didn't know? Each saving you take home is a negative entry on their payslip. That's why they act like the AFP of gift cards.
