      What's point of doing it? It seems unnecessary, only causing issues.

      You can set you the PIN upon first purchase or it may work by just pressing enter(nothing).

    • WookieMonster on 14/06/2023 - 19:19

      What happens if you call the phone number and attempt to check the gift card’s balance using the automated phone system?

      • If it tells you your gift card’s balance, your gift card is fine, you should probably clear cookies, check the balance on another device, etc etc.

      • If it says there is an issue with your gift card, it means InComm has blocked it, and you will need to talk to a rep over the phone to have it unblocked.

    Couldn't find any $250s in VIC Western Suburbs.. There are $100s but not worth the risk.

  • andyroberts1 on 14/06/2023 - 21:26

    Does anyone know if you also earn flybuys points per $ spent on these gift cards?

    • WookieMonster on 14/06/2023 - 21:33

      You will earn standard Flybuys points (1x point per $1) when purchasing these gift cards, because:

      • Coles awards standard Flybuys points on purchases of all third-party gift cards, and

      • Coles classifies Coles Mastercard gift cards as third-party gift cards, as they are issued by Heritage Bank on behalf of InComm. (Coles Mastercard gift cards are not issued by Coles Group, even though they have the Coles brand plastered all over them.)

      • Zippy7 on 14/06/2023 - 21:38

        Yep, and it will absolutely destroy your next few bonus points offers :)

        • WookieMonster on 14/06/2023 - 21:51

          I gave up on targeted bonus points offers a couple of years ago! At least the ones with the minimum spend criteria…

        • capslock janitor on 15/06/2023 - 19:08

          does it stack with flybuys spend offers?

      • 1bargain on 14/06/2023 - 22:29

        Does it mean I can get Velocity status point if I buy these cards?

        • WookieMonster on 14/06/2023 - 22:35
          +2

          No.

          Purchases of gift cards stopped counting towards earning Velocity status back in November 2021 (if I remember correctly). The terms pretty much always said that purchases of gift cards were not supposed to count, so this was a loophole that took a while for Flybuys and/or Velocity to close.

          • nsingh21 on 15/06/2023 - 11:14

            @WookieMonster: @WookieMonster - https://card.gift/product/go-to-visa-gift-card any idea if these cards can be added to mobile wallet? ik last month (Mother's day cards worked) but just thinking to double check…does say in-store so I assume it can be but the pic doesn't have GPay or Apple Pay on it, whilst the MasterCards do.

      • Peck on 16/06/2023 - 11:04

  • nubzy on 15/06/2023 - 08:45

    Can you purchase these with cash at self checkout? And can you pay off Afterpay balance with them?

    • capslock janitor on 15/06/2023 - 19:10

      i did at self checkout but maximum is $1100 , and it also calls the attendant to authorise

      try scan you flybuys first to see if it reduces the total below, cos i scanned giftcards first

  • javawoo on 15/06/2023 - 08:54

    Sold out already do they re-fill in some time?

    • WookieMonster on 15/06/2023 - 09:21
      +1

      Maybe.

      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 for gift cards appearing to be sold out, 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.

      • ilovefullprice on 15/06/2023 - 09:44

        Can these gift cards which hasn't been paid for yet be taken out of the store without triggering the store alarm?

        • shane23 on 15/06/2023 - 17:18

          Yes

          • ilovefullprice on 15/06/2023 - 17:51

            @shane23: Thanks. Would be a good idea if stores keep them at the service desk during promos.

            • shane23 on 15/06/2023 - 22:09

              @ilovefullprice: I wouldn’t be taking anything out of the store alarms or not . It’s still stealing.

    What's the best way to get JBHIFI gift cards at a discount, without running into card security issues?

  • Luigi Savadamoni on 15/06/2023 - 12:21

    Is anyone else having issues with ATO payments today?

    I successfully used 5 x $250 cards towards my tax bill but when I tried to use another 3 cards they were declined and I got the following message: Your payment has been declined Please contact your financial institution
    Checked online and each card is active and has a $250 credit.

    Rang 07 5660 6022 and was told the cards are fine and it was the merchant (ATO) declining the transactions.

    Coincidently I bought the latest cards this morning but the Checkmybalance website shows they were activated last night..

    Frustrating because my tax payment is due today. Will try again later today but it looks like I have 8 x $250 cards that I can’t use.. Might end up seeking an extension from ATO.

    PS Plenty of $250 cards at Essendon Fields Coles when I was there about an hour ago.

      You can only use 5 cards per 12-24 hour period per portal (myGov and EasyPay)

    • Bambini88 on 15/06/2023 - 12:46

      You can only pay 5 per 12 hours per method. There are two methods, via your mygov and Government easypay.. I suggest you try Government easypay.

    • maverick1 on 15/06/2023 - 12:48
      +2

      Nothing wrong with your cards.
      You can only do 5 transactions/day/platform. There are 2 ways to make payments so you can only do max 10 transactions or pay $2500 when using these cards -
      1 via your mygov account and 2nd via https://www.governmenteasypay.gov.au/payato

        Thank you.
        I love hearing these tips/tricks - it means it is worth my effort to get the $100 cards when they don't have any $250 (a smaller discount is better than none at all).
        I only knew about government easy pay because that was on the ATO letter. Didn't know you could do another 5 via MyGov.

        • mrfuku on 17/06/2023 - 17:10

          You can actually do more than 5 on the ATO (mygov), just keep trying to put them through after the initial 5. I think I was able to put through 8 or 9 multiple times

      • kellymarie83 on 16/06/2023 - 09:16

        Do you have to have a tax bill or can you pre-load these? If so how please? I tried easypay and it asks for a payment reference number and can't find how to do it on mygov

        • maverick1 on 16/06/2023 - 09:18

          Your payment reference # can be found in myGov ato section. You can pre-load.

            @lilkid28: I think with the digital deal few weeks ago more people got exposed to the benefits of these cards etc so maybe more demand from new customers.

        • WookieMonster on 15/06/2023 - 15:40

          If you go to an Australia Post Shop or LPO, you should be able to pay for an NRMA insurance notice using multiple Mastercard/Visa cards, but that is assuming the Australia Post staff knows how to do that and are willing to do split payments and will let you use prepaid gift cards as a payment method.

    Day 2 of the promo and hardly any $250 cards left. No issues getting 50 cards a day in the past from Day 1-5, Day 6-7 normally almost out. In VIC, people are either getting rich from these or the rising cost of living makes everyone get these to save on costs.

      Each store have their own policies depending on the manager.
      Just move on to a different store.

      Some stores say 3 cards per transaction so they dont need supervisor barcode scan.

      Some stores let you buy only 5 cards, while others let you buy as many as you want.

    • magster on 16/06/2023 - 09:49

      Each store makes up their own rule, depends on how high and mighty the staff feels. I have one guy telling my husband and I only 5 cards per family. When I say he’s my friend, he changed to 5 cards per group because we came together, which is complete bs. But he will process them for us as a favour and this time only lol.

    Only planned to visit one but wife running late to work so I dropped her and then checked out the ones en route home.

    I don't mind buying the $100 ones if there will be no more stock of the $250 ones - but not sure whether to keep trying my luck until say Monday before pulling trigger on the $100 ones.

        Not disagreeing with you, but would spending driving inflation just cause everything that you mention to go even higher? So it may seem like a short term fix for a long term problem.

        it did not give you an option to choose credit/debit. I am on the phone now, tried to check my balance on the phone, said my card had an issue and transferred me to customer service and waiting…

      Update 2: They said my supermarket transactions were suspicious and the system blocked my card… Apparently it is a stupid system. Just be aware.
