      I find them useful for a few use cases.

      Purchase with amex to earn point then can use the mastercard anywhere amex is not accepted or surcharge excessive.

      Disposable cards for privacy online gives a little comfort. Knowing my primary card is not being stored.

      Fixed amount in the card is a good fixed allowance to share with family to avoid overspending

      • Craze on 22/07/2023 - 21:54
        +2

        Only useful if you know you'll be exhausting funds in a short period of time after purchasing.

        • cski on 23/07/2023 - 04:31

          Most certainly
          Buy today, use tomorrow use cases.

          And a $100 one to buy lunch each day at the take out places near work that don't take amex while keeping to a fixed budget on lunches.

        • freewhere on 23/07/2023 - 04:47

          Why?

      • c9 on 22/07/2023 - 23:24
        +2

        Only a few? I can think of too many use cases why not to buy this.

        There are already products that allow you to change cvc for your digital card every 24hr, such as Westpac.

        Fixed amount is not a good idea, if you buy something $249, you left with $1 that is too much trouble to use and keep record.

        If you buy something more than $250, most merchants dont allow split payments online, you can't use this without work around.

        Can't add to PayPal

        This is easily hackable coz their bin number is known and expiry date is mostly the same

        There are issues where merchant dont process disposable Mastercard. Eg. 3d secure

        These can't be PayPass or tap and go, some smaller restaurant use their iPad thingies that they don't support magnetic strip

        You can run into activation or other tech issues your card won't work. Not only you are not saving money, but hours with support consider yourself lucky if they can fix them in short time.

        Normal credit card comes with price protection or other form of insurances

        If you buy something and need refund later, good luck in trying to remember which one you bought from. Refund can only made to original payment form. Keeping these disposables in small home is another problem

        Def neg so novice people not trying to ozbargain it

        • TheBargainFather on 22/07/2023 - 23:34

          agree

        • OMGJL on 22/07/2023 - 23:46
          +2

          really depends on the use case. I agree with most use case you might as well use your own card.

          But, say if you just want to renew your VPN service (or whatever half dodgy subscription that can't disable automatic recharge easily), this would be the perfect card not to leak any of your own information and not care if there's automatic recharge.

          As for the remaining few $, you can buy Amazon giftcard with the exact amount and pay with the exact balance in it.

          never need to worry about refund in this scenario.

        • MiscOzB on 22/07/2023 - 23:50
          +3

          They can be added to PayPal again since a couple weeks or so back.

        • cski on 23/07/2023 - 04:26

          Banks adding cvv changes is only new innovation for them driven in part by market of these products and most banks still do not offer.

          Who said anything about buying stuff eligible for refund
          For starters buying stuff in store not really front of mind.

          Statements of stores not trusted is synonymous with either cannot trust for refund or ineligible anyway

          But most stores online with in store presence do NOT require original card for refund, they do however require photo id in its place.

          Paypal does allow, also all in store support split payments. Who cares about splitting online you've bought the card for specific need and certainly a well planned need.

          Yes the faulty activation is annoying and to debate your original assertion
          a disposable is a gift and not a tool for buyer,
          an absolutely TERRIBLE GIFT to give anyone unless you really hate them. Here's hit reverse lottery ticket you give $100 with one in a x chance of recipient calling a call centre (AS NON BUYER) trying to prove purchase.

          They are purely a tool for the buyer. Gift is an inappropriate label.

    • Peck on 23/07/2023 - 13:06

          • coxymla on 22/07/2023 - 21:48

            @littleburrito: Sorry for the noob question, but does the PRN on the PAYG installment stay the same every time?

          • frostybite on 22/07/2023 - 22:56

            @littleburrito: How do I get refund if I prepaid the tax? Or is it an automated refund?

              +1

              @frostybite: I dont recommend paying the ATO and then trying to get a refund from them. It's a little complicated as you have to submit the request and they might refund it straight to the card you used for payment.

      • joeiwu on 23/07/2023 - 09:14

        Online or through phone? Thanks

        • coxymla on 23/07/2023 - 13:24

          Online works fine. Check the surcharge and then backoff the payment so the payment + surcharge equals the face value of the GC.

    Good way to pay off ATO debt / HECS debt while earning Qantas/Velocity points I guess?

    Hoping next year I can pay off my HECS with the 10% discounted ones though…

    • USER DC on 22/07/2023 - 19:08

      No point of paying HECS with 0% of these cards.
      That is no better than Bpaying HECS direct/indirect with CC

      • rekke on 22/07/2023 - 19:17

        Doesn't other methods incur fees? What method can you use to pay the ATO with a credit card without fees?

        • USER DC on 22/07/2023 - 19:19

          Bpay is the key dude.

          pay indirectly to the ATO, and you wont inoccur any fees, just need another like >$1000 credit limit after Credit card

            @USER DC: Sorry, would you mind sharing - even if I bpay through my hsbc credit card, I don't think credit card points will be given as it'll come through as ATO?

              +2

              @ilovefood12345: Need to get another credit line - SEPERATE FROM YOUR normal CC (of more than $1000 - get approved for that too)
              Then use that new Credit line to do Bpay payments, (technically can use that anywhere, except to CC payments)

              Then lastly pay your New Credit line balance with your normal CC (and you should earn CC points for your normal CC)

              • ilovefood12345 on 22/07/2023 - 20:04

                @USER DC: Thank you! I guess it's only for people that can have another line of credit open? I'm pretty sure I'm at my max with both credit cards. Guess if i want to meet minimum cc spend i'll have to buy this and then pay ato and pay the credit card fee?

                • USER DC on 22/07/2023 - 20:05

                  @ilovefood12345: In 9 days you wont need to have Credit limit of >$1000 though.

                  You just need to search Bpay on here in top right corner to know the deal Should be the first link. - Anybody should be able to know what deal i am talking about with this clue .
                  Pro tip: Dont be an idiot, and try to max out your Credit limit on newly open credit line (or a line that you dont use normally, or dont have a good repayment history with in past)

                  IMO I would close one of normal CC or reduce their limit to open this new Credit line

                  • ilovefood12345 on 22/07/2023 - 20:09

                    @USER DC: Thanks for your tips - I really appreciate it. I'm just soon going to be running a preapproval for a mortgage so don't know if it'll get in the way either? The only other way I can think of is snip - but it now shows on my cc transaction histroy snip-ATO. So hope it still gets credited towards minimum spend?

                      Also I aint no financial broker - cannot advice on how new application would or would not apply to your lending amounts

                          @rekke: If you read yourself, and comments again, you would understand WHY it is "NOT THE SAME THING as achieve here with gift cards?"
                          $0 vs $0.5, hackers, convenience etc. just to name a few. But key difference is already listed in comments above

    These cards get hacked easily. If you are getting a 10% discount (which is really about 6/7% discount after fees for the $250 card), it makes the risk worthwhile (if you use them quickly). If there is no discount, it's just not worth the risk.

    It’s a scam.
    Coles mastercard essentially forces you to enter a contract where you lend your money to them for at least 30 days at a minimum cost, with the risk where you would spend a lot of effort getting the money available in your card purchased.

    Check the previous deals, especially this one, if you’d like to trade off your energy and time battling with the worst customer service (outsourced of course) just for saving few bucks, then think again.
