          It was over several days. I am unable to make any payments to ATO now, so who knows.

          Edit: it’s working fine, must have mistyped a number.

          You can split between ATO and Government Easy Pay to do it quickly.

          • lancesta on 18/08/2023 - 05:58

            @CommuterPolluter: I still cannot get over how much the Government Easy Pay name sounds like a scam. When I read it I hear it in my head coming in the voice of a phone scammer

    Don't want to fear monger but just putting people on their guard…

    And @WookieMonster had this to say: "Put it this way: there is a reason I will happily continue buying physical Coles Mastercard gift cards, but I will not purchase another digital Coles Mastercard gift card for the foreseeable future…"

      What a nightmare. Your average customer won't know about any of these details, nor should they need to. There's every chance this deal will be worse than the last Amazon gift card cock-up if the system has a track record of sending the same Mastercards to multiple people. People have to ask themselves, is it really worth an $18 saving in every $250?

      Yes. I just used it yesterday. But it was a physical one. I added it to payment.

      What I would like to know if giftcards.com.au accept Activ visa gc?

      • wangasm on 16/08/2023 - 00:46

        They don't appear to accept all Prepaid Visa/MC cards, at least the ones I've tried from the previous deal.

        • k1vnwng on 16/08/2023 - 00:59

          Thanks for the update.

    • tramperleo on 16/08/2023 - 06:53

      Seems if you never use it before, shopback could take 5-10 cards. Then they will refuse all the rest.

    They are still “on hold” my $250x3 cards purchased from last 10% off deal.

    They are really good at giving excuses and playing the waiting game.

    Warning: min waiting time for a “on hold” dispute is 30 BUSINESS days.

    My case lodged on 28 June is still UNSOLVED as of today.

    Bought these cards a few years ago on a similar deal… bought $1,250 worth for an easy $100 profit.

    But there's no way I'd try it now, based on all the comments that I've read on the most recent deals. Far too many things that can go wrong.

          • Cmaz on 16/08/2023 - 19:20

            @daanish: How much were u successful on using. I used 2250 and cannot go beyond. Just payment failed on Ato

            • daanish on 16/08/2023 - 19:34
              +2

              @Cmaz: The general rule was 5x$250 on ATO and 5x$250 on Gov EasyPay in a 12hr window. So max $2500 in 12 hours but it seems some people have been able to do 8 or 9 on ATO portal in a single session.

              Just wait 12-24hrs and your cool down period will run out so you can go again.

              Source: I paid 30k of HECS using these cards over the course of 2 weeks.

    I think the fear of Coles digital gift card is over rated. Going through the comments of previous posts (sentiment analysis), the margin of error appears in range of 1%. Its worth the risk as far as there is hope of resolution via support desk / call etc. Resolution delayed is NOT resolution denied in this case.

    • Financefiend on 16/08/2023 - 03:56
      +6

      There’s 2 layers of risk here:
      1. (Product) Coles Mastercard giftcards can be compromised. Good luck w resolution.
      2. (Seller platform) giftcards.com.au is incredibly badly run.
      a. Limited stock,
      b. Website can’t handle high traffic,
      c. Payments go through although it says “Payment failed” and you don’t get the giftcards,
      d. These pending charges are not automatically reversed. You need to call the call centre to request a refund and provide enough details (name, email, phone number, credit card number).
      e. Risk of them sending the same giftcards to different legitimate buyers (see comments on the June Coles MC deal)

      Hey, depends on state! NSW requires rego to be paid in a single transaction, so you might have to renew only for 6 months or something.
