      • i've use the same email address 5 times using the same prestige card. 4 other times with my partners email address using her own citi prestige card

    • You mean 9x10?

      • Thats correct 9 x 10 gift cards.

  • +3

    Just bought 4 to pay my rates. Came through straight away.
    Taking a while to apply the payments with Gold Coast City Council BPoint payment system though. Asking me to wait 5 minutes between each payment otherwise getting an error message. Still, saving over $67 + getting credit card points for ~20 minutes work. Not too bad.

    • Yeah, I was thinking of doing it to get my council rates paid.

      It's a minor saving tho, like $100

      Last time, I had 5x fkybuy bonus so it was closer to 10% off

  • Tried both Commbank & Citibank cards, no luck. Transactions failed.

    • I could only get it to work on edge. Doesnt seem to work on chrome/firefox

      • Thanks, tried Edge, still no go for me. :(

    • Looks like my streak has come to an end. Have toggled between:

      VPN, browser, machine, mobile data, credit card, email, phone number and all returns a failed transaction.

  • Noob question. Can these cards be added into Apple/Google Pay?

    • I purchased 9.12am today and received all cards in 2 mins. Paid by Citi CC.
      Tried to add Google Wallet but an error saying this card is not supported by Google Wallet.
      Will use them to buy SB supermarket GCs, Woolworth GCs, Prezzie and swap to all various gift cards, pay rates via PayPal / Post Billpay etc.
      Only the small petty amount (>$1.0) leftover is to purchase Amazon gift card to finish it off.

      • Ok thanks

      • SB wouldn’t accept these cards. I tried to link them. It comes up with an error message saying ‘ for security reasons, you can’t link this card to this ShopBack account’

        • Strange - I didn't have this problem.

          • @pyr0: didn't have problem until 18th perhaps shopback changed something to reject these?
            tried again hour ago with no luck after full 24 hour break just in case i applied to many in the past week

            • +1

              @mantra: You're on cooldown. Haven't figured out the exact trigger but SB will put you on cooldown (should be 7 days) when you've done too much stuff* in a given timeframe.

              I triggered one SB account during the 2000 flybuys points promo last week at Coles, inceptioning gift cards. That account already had a lot of payment cards attached so I removed some during the inceptioning. That may have been the trigger.

              My other account I didn't do that with and it is still going strong.

              • @wavesgreen: thank you, five cards attached to my account got this error at around 3 cards
                removed one and realized removing them would invalidate cashback so quickly reapplied and hope i still get cashback
                24 hours after the error it allowed me to add two more cards but adding more is getting rejected so best i wait 7 days

                thought maybe 5 card limit? hoping will work before 31st got two challenges left to complete

                • @mantra: Nobody really knows the exact trigger limit(s), it's kinda BS. This is all just theoretical trying to figure out what SB has put in place.

                  It's also super frustrating when there are back-to-back promotions going on in the marketplace increasingly at the moment and it means you get locked out of participating. SB also gets less engagement so it's a lose result for them as well.

  • I am traveling at the moment so dont have my rates account number with me. Is there anyway to find it out ?
    (for Brisbane).

    Damm it I have run out of things to prepay. Maybe will have to stock up on gift cards then.

    • Can you log in to your Council and find it by entering your address?

      • Thanks for the suggestion. I had never setup an online account will do that.
        But I found out they actually work on weekends via the call centre so called them up and found out the info :-)

        I guess means now I purchase some more cards later.

  • Where is best to use the little leftovers of the card like a dollar or less?

    • +2

      Buy Amazon GC on Amazon

  • Still works, just bought $2.5k GC to pay health insurance before premium increases

    • Gah - my health insurer only allows 4 online payments per day :(

  • Does anyone know if using prepaid debit cards (like Zip Pay) as payment method work for this?

    • +2

      I always got the Transaction failed message when I tried to use the Zip Single Use Debit

    • +1

      ZIP, STEP PAY WON'T WORK BUT MONEYME WORKS

  • Thanks a lot BargainsGrabber. Have successfully purchased a few sets.

    Most success was using mobile data through the Edge browser on my phone

  • Thank you OP. Health fund premium sorted for next year. The transaction went smoothly with Chrome, cards received within 2 mins after the invoice.

  • Do we have a list of retailers, energy providers that do not accept this card? Or is there any general rule other than testing them?

    • +1

      If you can pay using auspost billpay you can use these cards.

      But yes just trial and error

      • I used Auspost billpay twice then third failed but it worked the next day. May need to do it gradually.

  • What's wrong, I'm trying to purchase 6x via combank, boq, and westpac all failed with the same name, email address like yesterday, any idea? I used incognito on my phone but it doesn't work

  • Amex, Nab creditcard Failed.
    Only Citi Mastercard successful.

  • Bought 10 just now, it randomly worked for me. Bought 8 then 2.

    Tried 2 again and it failed.

    So here's my theory lol

    You can't buy more than 10 per 24 hours, this also confirmed by the support person. But it took maybe more than 24 hours for me, maybe 26 hours, I don't know.

    You need to call CommBank and tell that this is not a fraud transaction, you are buying these gc for groceries. They'll lift the ban. Might as well take some time to reflect on your card.

    Enjoy.. 😂

    I wasn't going to pay a bill, needed to buy lenses and speakers.

    • Theory fail

      Can reject even for people who never bought before or even buying 1

      It's some random bs

      • true, i use mobile internet from my husband to purchase for the first purchase, it didn't go through. yesterday went smoothly under my name. today nothing works

    • I purchased 5 x 10 on the first day. 6th failed but worked the next day plus one more. On the third day purchased 5 x 10 again. Today just one but not tried anymore. All on AMEX. My theory would be you can buy 5 x 10 per day.

  • Just split my rego quarterly so I can pay full amount with VicRoads and tried to pay with sniip but they "the biller doesn't accept this payment method" ☹️

    • Why dont u just pay on Vicroads website?

      • Do they allow online split payment at all?

        • +1

          Nah it says they don't accept split payment, but splitting the bill in quarterly payments means it's now less than $250.

          • @captbollocks: You will need to pay the card payment fee anyway. If you dont have HCC/PCC there is an extra charge fot quarterly bill too. Just do it on the website if you are willing to bear that surcharge.

        • No, the only way to split pay for Vicroads is to pop into one of their service centre, join the dauting queue and annoy the guy behind the window. Hate it but I still do that every year:)

      • Cool - it works if I forgo bPay. Just needed to pay a $1.20 card transaction fee per quarterly payment but I still come out on top!

        Thanks!

        • forgo bPay??

  • +1

    Glad I waited for the rush to go through.
    I bought 1st batch earlier - came through after 2 mins, now onto 2nd batch.

  • +1

    I bought 5K by 5 batches. All of them came within 5 minutes after purchase.

    • which card did you use?

  • bought about 10 - 15 cards each day. Worked fine with AMEX every time.

    just tried to order some more and it's saying "Transaction failed, please contact customer service."

    Unlike the Amazon saga, it didnt take my money this time.

    Looks like the run has come to the end for me ;(

    • Just tried Amex and also an hour ago and got the same, Amex customer support says there's no issues on their end so more than likely a giftcards thing. Bummer

      • Definitely giftcards issue. Just purchased my third lot of 10 for the day with AMEX. It's so weird how it works for some people and not others.

  • +2

    Thanks. Was able to buy 40 of these in a day on my Macquarie Account before they locked it for suspected scam and had to call up.

    Had no luck buying any on Up Bank or ING; Transaction failed.

  • Decided to try my luck, (only tried once)

    Didn't work

    "Transaction failed, please contact customer service."

    Attempted using HSBC.

    • Try to get 4 cards or below. That is below $1000.

      • i tried to get 4cards with combank still failed

        "Transaction failed, please contact customer service."

  • When does it end?

    • +1

      OzBargain deal states midnight/11:59pm August 21.

      Coles.com.au states "Offer available from 16/8/23 9am to 23/07/23, While stocks last."

      Giftcards.com.au T&C states "Offer available from 16/8/23 9am. Limited Time Only."

      • +1

        Last time it ended early because they ran out of "stock"

        • I wonder how much stock they have..

          • @AkuroPlays: Billions worth

          • @AkuroPlays: Every promotional campaign will have target sales figure, or a variable target based on some other metric, ie number of individual purchasers, site hits, August numbers vs May numbers, etc.

      • Damm, I literally have a new Westpac CC on the way and I need to hit 4k spend!

        Ohwell

        • +1

          Check the westpac app. You should be able to use a digital version right away. Last time I had a westpac card I had met the minimum spend before I actually received the card.

          • @endolphin: I have no email or details from Westpac? They called me, and emailed me saying I'm approved 3-4 days ago.

            I may call Monday, and ask for details and maybe I can buy 2.5k worth Monday! I got my rego, council rates due plus last time they were handy for wine! Lol

    • It will probably end when the beancounter is confident of showing a decent top-line growth both QOQ and YOY.

  • can i use Coles Group and Myer gift cards to pay for it?

    • +1

      No

  • +2

    Paid council, water, gas, every single thing.
    This deal is so addictive.
    What is the risk of keeping these cards for few months without using them?

    Imagine a life where this deal lasted for years.

    • What is the risk of keeping these cards for few months without using them?

      Not insignificant.

    • +2

      The risk of keeping these cards is you might come back and see it have $0 because someone as has used it.

    • +3

      based on recent history, you may see this deal once every quarter followed by sale of physical cards at Coles (which usually doesn't have great availability).
      Who knows for how long will Coles take loss on this. But based on past data, I usually buy to pay bills upto 2-3 months in advance as this deal or instore usually happens every qtr.

      • In-store is better, my flybuys always has 5x or 10x bonus pts and it stacked.

        At least people can abuse the system to get more, but if history is anything to go by, they'll probably close that loophole the next time because unfortunately people abuse things and then they notice and they close it.

        So I got true 10% off, that's why I'm not really jumping at tho…even tho still solid.

        • i thought flybuys doesn't work for gift cards?

          • +1

            @neezy: You do get the standard flybuys points when purchasing these in-store when 10% off.

            • +1

              @Yola: It worked for me, and I got bonus 5x! I can screenshot my flybuys account LOL

              Maybe they changed it?

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: I would like to view it as you mentioned several times. I doubt it.

                • +2

                  @Neoika: I got standard flybuys on the recent 2000pts promo in-store. I had 5x points offer activated as well but that was only applied to the groceries I bought in the same transaction as the gift card.

                • @Neoika: How do I show last year? Seems I can only go back 4-5 months.

              • @[Deactivated]: Never worked for me. Don't think they changed it. It's strange you got it.

    • i think it's been removed. just goes to Coles Facebook page.

      • +2

        @neezy link goes to the post advertising this deal (not removed) - make sure you go to the mobile link in web broswer (otherwise app will just redirect to coles FB page)
