    Bought 10 $250 last time. I checked them at the time of delivery and all 8 ok but 2 had zero balance due to those cards already being used for purchases. I called up and it took 2 weeks to get new cards sent. It seems they send the same card to more than 1 person potentially. Buyers beware.
    Also with it not being a physical card you can’t use it for face to face shopping unlike the physical ones from coles.

    So when do we expect you see the Coles store offer like this?

    • What was the process?

      What number did you call or how long did you have to wait?

  • +2

    yeah, scared for lots of problems, but 7.5% still attractive

  • +1

    They don't deliver. This deal shouldn't be allowed, atleast not on the front page.

  • Should I buy at 11.00am or wait until noon when the first rush is over?

  • -5

    If many people got bad experience can we ban to advertise this in ozb? Gotta protect this community

  • This is going to be really interesting

  • I got three of these last time and I was lucky, I had no issues and I used them as soon as I received them, but sounds like too many have issues with these and many are not getting refunds, even after months of reporting. I might sit this one out. I was going to get some to pay my tax bill, but it just isn't worth the stress. I'll wait for the last day to pay it and just earn interest on my money in the meantime

  • No, thank you.

  • +1

    Where can we pay off HECS debt with these?

    • +1

      ATO

      • From memory there was some limits on how many you could do

    • +1

      and government easy pay. 0.2% fee I think and you can use 5 per on each every 12 hours I think.

  • Time to grab a popcorn 🍿

    • Can I have the rest of the box?

  • Great

  • Bought some cards last time. One was compromised and still in dispute… Better to get the physical card in store if they run again.

    • +1

      Physical ones aren’t any safer from being compromised.

  • HERE WE GO LOL

  • Got my popcorn ready

  • payment went through

  • I know for my insurance that it accepts Bpay any chance of using these cards to pay?

    • No bpay but if ya insurance is $250 or under you might have a chance paying as credit card

  • +1

    Actually went through

  • +5

    "Transaction failed, please contact customer service."

    • +1

      I had it first time then okay with 2nd time

      • Same and got 2 pending transactions

        Edit: Gave them a call and was told that they would refund the first one in a few days and the GCs would take up to 4 hours to arrive in inbox/spam folder

        • Same happened to me. Calling them to ask about first pending charge

  • +2

    Ordered 10, no payment issue with Suncorp.
    received Tax Invoice 3 mins later.
    Now wait for the cards and see.

  • Just placed one and done no more

    The more the more worries

  • Went through for me, bought 9

    • why not 10

      • 1 i got with step pay,rest on account

  • Ordered 1 with my current Suncorp churn card to finish hitting my minimum spend and the transaction went through. If the deal is still live later tonight I'll go back with my AmEx and get a few more. I trust AmEx customer support way more to un-do any shenanigans.

    • Does Amex card work with you?

      • I bought more cards but didn't end up using my AmEx. Used a different Visa instead as it was a better point in the statement cycle.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Got 4 cards without any issues. Waiting for the email cofirmation and mastercards.

  • x10 Paid with no issue. Last time promo was translation failed

  • -1

    Placed order for 4, payed with Macquarie, money taken, but stuck circling on “confirming payment” for the last few minutes….. oh god.

    UPDATE: Still spinning but have now received tax invoice email. Not sure if I should close the tab or what.

    • mine was on the same boat luckily went though at the end

  • Just received Tax Invoice email from [email protected] - last time my tax invoice ended up in the Spam folder on my Gmail so if you haven't received yours make sure to check there and add the email address to your whitelist.

  • +1

    Thanks OP! Looks good - payment went through.

  • I got this the last time around, and it was a royal pain to use up. I didn't have any of the banking or site based issues, but it was incredibly difficult to find a merchant that would accept it. It can't be used in stores. It couldn't be added to Google Wallet. With Paypal, it still kept getting rejected at various stores. Also, it was difficult to find transactions online that allowed you to part pay using this card and the difference using another card. For me, it's not worth the hassle again.

    • I used it for all my bills, worked well

  • This deal went through no problems.

    Last Amazon Deal, had to call up and get a refund.

  • +1

    Thanks, my missus and I both bought 10 each.

  • +2

    Payment gone through but card hasn't been received ~18 minutes later. Usually has always come within 3 minutes or so after tax invoice is received but not this time.

    • -2

      No the digital cards never arrive in 3 minutes.
      It always takes up to 4 hours, or even longer if everyone is ordering at the same hour, like now.

      • +1

        I'm sorry if your experience is different to that of mine. It has arrived within 3 minutes several times for me. Even when not on sale.

    • +1

      First wave take time
      last time took 3 hours to received the cards

      • Good to know - thank you!

    • +1

      Update: received ~45 minutes later.

  • +2

    Payment failed, same as last time. No money taken tho.

  • Fool me once…

    No issues with OP… not going to trust this site again until it gets its act together.

  • Just placed an order for a single card.

    Claims a "confirmation email has been sent" (yet to hit my inbox) and Amex push notification of a charge (by Coles) for $231.30 came through. If it goes into the ether and a gift card is never received, chargeback via Amex should be reasonably easy.

    Edit: Tax invoice came through about 10 mins after the transaction. No gift card yet.

    • Order placed 9:15ish, invoice arrived 10 or so minutes after, gift card arrived 11:45ish.

      • Used it to grab https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/792844 that I'd been eyeing over. Once stacked with the effective 7.5% discount + $20 credit on groceries (4000 points for first use of Marketplace), $136 is not a bad price to pay for that dock!

  • paid and received tax invoice, but no card received, bad experience and a real pain

    • +1

      sounds like ebay feedback text…

    • +1

      How long have you waited?

      • +1

        paid 9:01, now still not received 9:31

        • +1

          You need to be patient, that is only 30 mins so far. It is pretty common for them to take a few hrs. As long as you have received the invoice it is pretty much a done deal.

          • @truetypezk: Customer support said up to 4 hours

    • +1

      Card delivery will take time,did a transaction at 9am,just received the card at 9:35am

      • I bought at 9:14am but still no gift card 🤔

        • Depends on person to person i reckon,i have received 8 of 23 cards ive bought,theyre being sent at random intervals

  • Tried 4 different cards, Coles MC, St George, Macquarie, Amex no dice.

    • +1

      Citi usually OK

      • My Citi cc doesn't work

    • Try paying via phone. None of my cards worked on desktop but once I did on mobile it did work.

    • Bank of Melbourne (same company as St George) was fine for me

    • Looks like the issue is with Coles' end and not the bank's end

  • +1

    9am paid and ordered 10x.

    So far received 6 gc. They dont come in one go, its like 1 gc / minute

    • interesting to hear they are starting to come through - keep us posted.
      I'm curious to know if the peeps who had problems last time around were buying when the system was flat out busy/overloaded, and whether there is any of that this time around.
      I'd rather wait an hour or two for the initial rush to be done.

      • All 10x received - between 9.20-9.40am

  • +1

    Cards coming now

  • Can you use these cards on amazon?

    • +1

      Yes, add them as a new payment method

    • Just be careful a few people have had their accounts locked due to unauthorized activity that the cards trigger.

  • Bought 2 ($500) using Nab Visa Debit (SMS OTP required). Payment successful and received Tax Invoice. GC yet to receive.

    • +1

      Received GC and used straight away.

  • T&Cs state one order per customer. What is this based on? Email address or phone number?

    Did one order but may do.koremif it goes through without issue.

    • Based on email. My missus and I both bought it with my CC but different email and it worked.

    • +2

      I think last time the deal was on, this wasn't enforced. People were just buying over and over. And you will be able to tell if it works since the checkout will have the discount applied

  • +1

    Wow! Transaction worked for me, on only the third try! As long as I receive the cards, I'm happy. Thanks OP! This time the gamble paid off.

    • Cards are coming through now, 3.5 hours later. Received 2/3.

  • Is this still blocked on Prezzee?

    • I also would like to know this

    • +2

      Blocked on Prezzee. Need to use paypal. Used to be blocked on paypal temporarily but now ok.

      • can you do partial payments that way?

  • +1

    Transaction failed, please contact customer service.
    Used different banks still the same.

  • +3

    Order 10 at 9:01, received 8 at 9:18-9:21

  • +2

    Nice
    Free money

  • Would these work on eBay?

    • You can simply buy ebay gift card from shopback with 2.5% cash back on top

  • -2

    Purchase fee sounds like a scam.

    • +3

      As much of a scam as purchase fee to buy movie tickets online.

      • -1

        Yeah what's with that, doing them a favour and they charge you extra.

  • -2

    Such an inferior product and yet they have the gall to even charge a fee for it. With the discount maybe some might still want to buy it, but when it is at full price I wonder who would even bother with this trash? Why pay $250 for $243 in value?

    • +3

      Barring issues with the processing of payments/delivery, in principle I will happily take a 7.5% discount on my tax debt, health insurance, house rates, HECS debt, groceries and other fixed costs that I have no choice but to pay full price normally.
