In this week's edition of Woolworths staff accidentally put up gift card deal posters early, it's prepaid gift cards!

Basically 5% of the gift card’s value returned to you in the form of Everyday Rewards points.1

Category Visa Gift Cards Prepaid Visa Gift Cards

Where can they be used?
Selected merchant categories only (see below) Anywhere that Visa is accepted

As a rule of thumb, if the card has an activation fee then you can use it anywhere that Visa is accepted. However, you will only earn 10x points on the $50 and $100 denominations of those cards (variable load cards are excluded). This means that you’ll be paying $5.95 to earn just 500-1,000 Everyday Rewards points which is not recommended.

If the card doesn’t have an activation fee then you can only use it at merchants that correspond to the theme of the gift card (scroll down to see a complete list of where these cards can be used). All denominations of these category cards are eligible for 10x points including the $25-500 and $50-500 variable load cards.

    Finally a card accepted by fortune tellers.
    I've been looking forward to this.

    • t25 on 27/07/2023 - 09:55

      I wonder if "Miscellaneous Personal Services (7299)" covers massages.

    • New Chump on 27/07/2023 - 11:49

      Buy this card at 5% off and use card to ask the fortune teller when the next 10% off deal on these cards will take place.

      Winning.

    Buying the $100 value isn't really worth, we still pay $5.95 activation fees.

  • reivaxX on 27/07/2023 - 08:56

    Can these category gift cards be added to digital wallets like Apple/Google Pay?

    • t25 on 27/07/2023 - 09:30

      I'm pretty sure no. I'm sure @WookieMonster would know better.

    • WookieMonster on 27/07/2023 - 09:32

      OnlyONE Visa category gift cards cannot be added to a mobile wallet.

      Activ Visa gift cards (including the Pets & Vets category gift card in this deal) can be added to a supported mobile wallet.

        Awesome thanks :)

  • OzBestDeal on 27/07/2023 - 09:52

    Before anyone ask…

    Can I use Everyday Rewards points to pay for gift cards in-store at Woolworths or BIG W?
    No.

    Can I use Everyday Rewards Dollars to pay for gift cards at Woolworths or BIG W?
    No.

    • Neoika on 27/07/2023 - 10:29

      People will ask for more than these.

    When I see activation fee I run

    • Neoika on 27/07/2023 - 10:59

      This kind of deal is not for everyone.

    • rodericb on 27/07/2023 - 11:24

      Welcome to the future where you have to pay to spend your own money.

      • Laziofogna on 27/07/2023 - 11:32

        They count on some people not noticing that detail, I know a few like that.

  • simon 84 on 27/07/2023 - 12:02

    Do those Prepaid Active Visa have the similar hacking issue with Coles MasterCard Gift Card? (question tone)

  • AnnieMay on 31/07/2023 - 07:49

    I used the shopback supermarket card to purchase myer cards at coles. I hope it works with these cards

    • aaron3 on 02/08/2023 - 20:27

      I successfully purchased an Activ PrePaid Gift Card partially using the ShopBack Supermarket card. Which is technically Activ inception. I wonder how that's possible.

      • Neoika on 02/08/2023 - 20:41

        EDR fixed most known bugs in a year.

  • baron33 on 31/07/2023 - 17:31

    so visa Act Green, Visa Birthday and Visa Congrats are the same? Can be used in store and online?

  • baron33 on 31/07/2023 - 17:37

    I think Visa Active Green Variable should also be eligible for 10X points?

    Because the bottom of the cataglue mentions: Fee for variable card is $7.95

    • Neoika on 31/07/2023 - 19:47

      Cards with fees are universal and same. Be careful with the cards not mentioned, unless the screen clearly shows bonus pts when purchase them.

    • jiaqi518 on 31/07/2023 - 19:51

      No they are exclusive as per banner on the right.

  • Spectre1228 on 31/07/2023 - 21:30

    Seems like Visa Congrats and Birthday variable load cards are not excluded as per T&C?

    • WookieMonster on 02/08/2023 - 21:35

      That is likely due to Woolworths and Woolworths Metro not selling them.

      I checked three Woolworths stores today and have not seen either of those Activ Visa gift cards sold in a variable load denomination.

      Obviously, it could be stocked at a Woolworths or Woolworths Metro I did not check today, but considering I have not noticed it stocked at a Woolworths or Woolworths Metro before today, I have my doubts.

  • jiaqi518 on 02/08/2023 - 10:18

    Anyone could get 10× points for 500 card please?

    • Neoika on 02/08/2023 - 10:25

      It probably has less risk to buy Women World Cup Activ VISA($1.95 fee) on Giftz via SB 3% cashback.

      • Helmutson on 02/08/2023 - 20:46

        Went this route for $1250 of vouchers to pay some school fees. Just waiting for it to track through SB

        • Neoika on 02/08/2023 - 20:50
          +1

          It took 3 hrs to track last time. The amount used to calculate cashback excludes card fee.

          Someone says Activ VISA cannot be used to pay ATO bills.

  • davidl2 on 02/08/2023 - 11:03

    has anyone tried it on eBay?

    • davidl2 on 02/08/2023 - 22:20

      no one bought some Home Improvement cards to try it out?

      I don't have anything to buy from Bunnings, just wanna know if it still works on eBay… :'-/

      • WookieMonster on 03/08/2023 - 00:08

        It could be because that was thoroughly OzBargained late last year when there was a price error on category-restricted OnlyONE Visa gift cards at Woolworths. This comment and this forum post both makes me think this loophole has been closed.

        My guess for how this loophole existed in the first place is that Blackhawk Network (the owner of the OnlyONE Visa and Activ Visa gift card schemes) accidentally whitelisted MCC 5311 (Department Stores) on OnlyONE Home Improvement & DIY gift cards. The reason I think this is:

        • When I have done test transactions on eBay, the MCC for each transaction has been 5311.

        • ShopBack’s payment provider assigns MCC 5311 for a lot of the gift cards sold on that platform (e.g. Amazon, IKEA, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys). It assigns other MCCs for some other gift cards sold through ShopBack (e.g. DoorDash, Uber Eats, ShopBack Super Swap).

        • There were multiple reports during last year’s price error deal of people using OnlyONE Visa Home Improvement & DIY gift cards on eBay and ShopBack’s gift card portal. In theory, purchases at Myer and David Jones should have worked too (as they should use MCC 5311 too), but I did not see any reports of anyone attempting purchases at Myer and/or David Jones before this loophole appeared to be closed.

        If I were you, I would not purchase a Home Improvement & DIY gift card through this deal if your only intention is to use it at eBay, and you have no backup plan.

        bought $25 tested no luck, no ebay no SB any more

  • ujwols on 02/08/2023 - 20:01

    Anyone able to use home card on shopback to buy amazon gift card? It used to work before not sure if it still does ?

    • Neoika on 02/08/2023 - 20:05

      Not worth the risk. The deal was gone. I think no universal card is on sale this time. Upvote revoked.

      Women World Cup Activ VISA($1.95 fee) on Giftz comes up with at least a little profit if Shopback works for you.
