      • did you sort your problem?

        • +2

          Nope. I called Coles Support and they just transferred me to Ultimate Gift Cards, which was a voice automated service. It asked me to enter the PCN number on the card, after which it stated I had a $57.50 balance on the $50 card I purchased, which is a positive sign. But I can't actually use the card online (haven't tried in store yet), it just gets declined. Nor can I check the card on MyPrepaidCentre or cardbalance.com.au.

    • Unable to process request at this time, please check back later. Myprepaid centre has blocked me.

  • +1

    Bought Ultimate Eats and confirmed the 15% bonus has been added.

  • When I tried to add second card to my account, I received this: You have been blocked.

  • +2

    Cant' check the balance: Your card activation failed. Please try again.

  • +1

    Can I use $100 cards to buy $115 JBHIiFi Gift card from their website and then use multiple of them to buy from JB HiFi online instead of heading to the store?

      • +1

        Just conatcted JB, you cannot buy JB gift cards using these gift cards online.

        • Just used a Him $100 card to buy a $115 JB card online successfully, despite not being able to check my balance via either site posted here, or via the telephone service. It took about half an hour to come through after purchase

  • Why can't check balance by telling not activated?

  • Just bought a $100 worth home gift card to test it.
    Used the pcn code instantly after to add it to my account and voila, it’s got $115 on it.
    Thanks op

  • Can someone please confirm if the Ultimate gift for Him cards recieve the extra 15%? Looking at the catalogue, it is not pictured…
    Thank you

    • Yes according to rep and members here

    • I bought 3x$100 and 1x$50 HIM cards. There is a note at the bottom of Coles receit: "Your bonus value has been applied to each of your ultimate gift cards"
      But I can't check balance and it sayd activation failed.

    • Yes, I bought 5x $100 him card. I couldn’t check the balance online neither automated phone system, so I spoke to one of the agents and can confirm all with $115 balance.

      • How did you speak to them? what's the phone number?

        • +2

          1800862126

      • I think the HIM cards are all bugged, I'm having issues with the $50 ones too

    • Grabbed a 100 Him today, can confirm it does have the 15% bonus

  • After registering my HER $50 GC to myprepaid account, i receive a "you now have been blocked"

    Tried to check $50 Everyone GC balance on suggested website Wookie mention few post up and comes up with unable to recognise card error.

    Called the 1800 24/7 voice automated service and can confirm my 1 x HER $50 & 2 x Everyone $50 has 15% applied to them all.

    Now i can't exchange them as cards are not recognised :-(

    • the websites provided by Blackhawk seem to be buggered. i get the same errors for the HIM cards and HOME cards.

      they will still work at the store though - it becomes hard to keep tabs on the balance though without the websites working.

      sometime adding the cards to Apple Pay still works

      • I don't have apple pay unless i can get it on android? :-)

        I did manage to log into myprepaid account by switching wifi off and using just sim data but now i've been blocked on both wifi + data. I've sent a ticket off hoping they can fix the issue, yet to receive a response.

        • yep should work on android pay (?) or Google pay (?) not familiar with android phones

          hopefully they get back to you on the tickets. I havent tried that yet

  • Just bought 5 HIM $100 gift cards and have already transferred 2 of them into $115 JB gift cards online so that works for anyone wondering

    • Can you then buy online if you use this method?

    • +1

      Can you please elaborate how you did that? What did you use for name on card and expiry date?

      • I just used my first name, expiry is 12/29, get card number and CVV off the physical card

    • Good to know thanks! Do it while it still doable…
      Is the Expiry still 12/29?

      • it is when you add the to apple pay

    • Wookie says only do two a day :)

  • +1

    i got this error when trying to check on https://myprepaidcentre.com.au/home - "We were unable to process your information. Please try again." Any suggestion on who to call? Thanks

  • Two local Coles I went to have put away all signage, guess I'll wait

    • I rang ultimate gift card CS just now and they confirmed should be resolved now but you can call them once you buy to check the value has been applied (this is for the $100 option).

      • They were also both sold out of $100s sadly

    • +1

      The Coles I was in this morning, their signage read "15% off Unlimited gift cards" 🤣

      • Broadway?

  • Hmmmph, getting sweet FA success trying to buy gift card on Kogan with the Everyone or Home cards :(

    • +2

      That is most likely because Kogan will not let you do that.

      • You can have a look at this thread to see my unsuccessful attempt to help someone do that.

      • @Neoika - someone who purchases from Kogan much more than me - also strongly suspects Kogan is extremely picky with what kind of payment methods you can use to purchase a Kogan gift card online.

      • +1

        Thanks muchly for that info. Absolutely naff how these cards are portrayed as 'universal' use but are in fact very limited for online and egift exchange abilities :

        • To be fair, it is not unusual for online retailers to have a third party handle their online sales of their gift cards. For example:

          Considering the available payment methods on the Kogan website for Kogan gift cards is different to the available payment methods for Kogan's goods, the strong suspicion is that the payment process for Kogan is different, even though it looks like you are purchasing on the same website. Either that, or Kogan has set up BIN checks to automatically reject Ultimate (Visa) gift cards if you are trying to purchase a gift card.

          JB Hi-Fi is unusual in that they sell gift cards and goods on the same website using the same payment processing.

          Btw, Ultimate gift cards are also more limited than you realise for instore spending too! For example, in the last few weeks, Officeworks has been progressively updating their instore checkouts to automatically block people from trying to use an Ultimate gift card to pay for a gift card sold at Officeworks (e.g. Coles Group & Myer gift cards, Apple gift cards, Officeworks Visa gift cards). This restriction is not mentioned anywhere on the Ultimate gift card website, and you have to look at the right section of the Officeworks website (or the signs at Officeworks' instore checkouts) to be aware of this policy.

          • @WookieMonster: Hi @WookieMonster, can you please clarify what you mean with Lululemon?
            As far as I can tell, the Ultimate cards can only be used for Lululemon in-store?
            Is there any way to use these online through Lululemon?

            • @camcollins: The Ultimate gift card website says that any Ultimate gift cards accepted at Lululemon are accepted on the Lululemon online store.

              I take the Ultimate gift card website as the source of truth on these matters, so if it turns out that Lululemon does not accept Ultimate gift cards on their website, Blackhawk Network (the issuer) needs to update their website.

      • Just realized the same thing after thinking I could buy Kogan gift cards using these ultimate gift cards. So does that essentially means these cards can only be spent on items less than $110?

        Anyways around this? Bought bunch of gift cards thinking I could stack them to get big items from Kogan.

        • +1

          Account credits plus Ultimate, which means you need to source giftcard from others like SB.

          • @Neoika: Yes, still with Ultimate you cannot spend more than $115 ($100 + $15 bonus value).

            Let's say I got 5 x $100 Ultimate HOME, how do I spend all of those in a big item at Kogan?

            • @wildstone: You can only buy some $50s via SB for 8% cashback, then top up the account credits balance and leave the remaining amount to be charged on an Ultimate as close to $115 as possible. Max one Ultimate use per purchase unfortunately. There is no other way as I know.

              • @Neoika: Too bad, shouldn't have bought 5 cards thinking I could use them all in one go woth Kogan.

  • -1

    if I buy the home gift card, I can spend this gift card just for purchase in home category at JB hi-fi or for everything at JB hi-fi ?

    • Everything.

  • Bought 4 $50 cards, all have $57.50 on them.

    Now trying to buy JB gift card. You can buy a $57 JB card, but I've only been able to buy 1, the second got rejected. It has been debited $57 so I dont know whether to try again on a different PC, or drive 30 minutes to the store and try to buy a card there??

    • max 2 gift cards in a 24 hour period/per day

      add the card to apple pay and you can get away with buying the JB gift card - though it will be odd to buy a $57.5 gift card. dont let them know its an ultimate gift card cos its against jb policy to use them to buy JB gift cards….dunno why

  • +1

    Just bought more than 20 cards with vanilla visa gift cards from different shops…

  • If the For Him cards don't have the JB logo on it, is it usable for JB hi-fi?

    Bought 2 x HIM $100 cards, was able to check balance through this site but only says $100 for both :(

    • +1

      I hope you realise that your link is to TCN, which is not offering any bonus value on any of their gift cards through this deal.

      The only type of gift cards that is included this promotion are Ultimate gift cards, which is a range of gift cards issued by their direct competitor (Blackhawk Network).

      In other words, you have purchased the wrong gift cards.

      • +1

        RIP thanks. I saw everyone referring to HIM/HER and these were the only GC at my Coles. I didn't see the Ultimate ones.

        • sorry for your loss

    • You made my day :). Sorry for your loss :(

      • +2

        Haha you're welcome. Glad to be of entertainment amongst all the frustrations/stress today :')

    • +1

      I just bought 3 of the TCN cards for cash and went to use them at JB.
      Realized they might be the wrong card (which they were).
      Basically, I could've just gone to JB with my cash and paid that way.

  • Cant buy $100 ultimate giftcard home. Coles Rundle Mall said those are not eligible for bonus. Only the pictured ones are eligible.

    • +2

      I was told the same this morning at a different store. Tried and $100 Home worked out to be ok as confirmed by many others.
      Very annoyed by the false information given by Coles staff though.

    • +1

      Just purchased 10 and verified 1, have $115 in it

  • Called the ultimate gift cards support - the guy I was talking to had absolutely no idea about the ultimate gift card 15% bonus has an issue, trying to palm me off to Coles. When pressed, he said he can have it escalated, but till require 5 business days for any resolution.

    Have 1x $30 teens gift card that shows activation fail and 2x $50 Everyone, that only shows $50 of value each. No bonus value whatsoever… :(

    What a nightmare of a promotion… not sure if it's worth it again… to get these cards in future…

    • same for my 3 teens $30 gift card. Not able to check balance & not able to use anywhere

      • Hey @theFunGuy - try this one https://exchangeyourcard.com.au/ if you're intending to swap for a gift card - should be able to see the balance in there… you don't have to click through to swap, but you should be able to see the balance of it in there. That's how I checked mine, though… 15% bonus is not in there still.

        • Appreciate it! it works

  • +1

    Surprised how much stock there was

    • Where?

      • +1

        Broadway. Had heaps of the $50 and $100 denominations for various. I bought 5x Home since it has JB and TGG on it. The only one which was probably lacking is the everyone card (forgot the official name) which only had $50's but had the most acceptances on the front.

        I noted most cards had the Apple/Samsung/Google reference in top left but a few didn't… not sure if that matters

  • +2

    Hey guys - for the ones that are receiving the error message 'Your card activation failed. Please try again.' You can try going on here to check your balance https://exchangeyourcard.com.au you don't have to redeem your card, but that's another way you can try to see your card balance. Hopefully, it will ease your pain a little bit.

    I was able to check the balance of one of my cards in it ($30 Teen Card), the other 2x $50 everyone cards, I was able to check the balance on the https://myprepaidcentre.com.au site. Still don't have 15% bonus values on ALL of them, but I gave up, it's not worth the time and frustration. Life is short. :) Just ended up swapping my card to the full $130 value I spent at Coles and went elsewhere and spent it. Never again on this kind of offer for me in future. For the ones that had 15% bonus values added/resolved - congrats, it's your lucky day. :)
    Have a great night <3

    Went to the Marion Officeworks store, manager says they can only take whatever the card value is written and not the total overall balance.

    This is outrageous and some other bloke coped it too. Going to lodge a complaint to OW first and then to the product issuer if this is the case. Never felt so embarrassed by the the individual and totally ignored our reasoning.

    • +1

      that's awful. As soon as they check the balance on the card, it should say the overall balance. Try another OW.

      Coles Rundle Mall was telling me that Ultimate Gift Card for Home $100 is not eligible. It is eligible, i bought 5, dad bought 1. all of them has $115 each.

  • after adding the cards on their website, they have blocked my Wi-Fi IP.

    Accessable via mobile data. Such a hassle, anxiety through the roof. Awful service just to even check the balance.

    • +1

      same issue here, would be great if a rep could confirm why this is happening and if there is any workarounds

  • +2

    myprepaidcentre account got blocked after adding the second card. anybody have a solution, do i call ultmate gift card 1800 862 126 for this issue?

  • I bought with my Flybuys card, at the bottom of the receipt it says Your bonus value has been applied to each of your cards

    • Hey Pam! :) Yeh so was my receipt but I didn’t have the 15% bonus value on my gift cards upon checking

      • Your receipt will show $100.
        Need to check balance online.
        Bought a $100 Ultimate Him card to test and it had $115 loaded up online.
        Then, bought the other 4 of the $100 cards I had near register right after.
        All done during "peak shopping" time 😀

  • Bought 5x $50 everyone cards but didn't get 15% added value after 5 hours :(

    • Update: I got the bonus value after 2 days.

  • +1

    @ripp3r Also bought 5 x $50 Everyone cards about 2.5 hours ago and got the 15% value at $57.50 each.
    Just checked using https://www.ultimategiftcards.com.au/check-balance/
    Hope you get yours soon

    • I couldn't check the balance or add the card to my account with your link, it says that you have been blocked. I can check the balance with link, just enter the expiry date 12/29.

  • I've bought 10 giftcards (me and my wife) and find 5 of them shows "activation failed" while I try to add them into my ultimate gift card account. Has anyone encountered the same issue?

  • Bought 5 $100 him gc in the morning and 2 more in the evening.
    The 5 had the extra 15% bonus but the other 2 didn't..

    • Limit is 5.

  • I just bought 5 cards yesterday.

    If I load this into apple GC? or wallet? OR JB hifi gift credeit.

    Ccan I use them all from 5 or more cards for one transaction?

  • Bought 5x $100 For Him.

    3 x activated in myprepaidcentre. No 15% added
    2 x card activation failed.

    Anyone tested these in store and was able to confirm if the 15% was added or they even work?

    • Him cards had problem for checking balance, I had same trouble yesterday. But they usually all good. Try this website https://exchangeyourcard.com.au, you don't have to click through to swap, but you should be able to see the balance of it in there.
