        How do you know if the funds are ready? I've got 9 saying it's failed but available balance $250 is still there. This is nerve racking.

        • huhuu77 on 18/08/2023 - 06:46

          I don't know, I just tried $150 payment and proceed, then $100. That is almost 24 hours since I received it.

    • B-Man02 on 17/08/2023 - 07:45

      is post billpay different to bpay?
      I cant seem to find how to pay my rates with bpay.
      billpay seems to be Australia post but wont accept my bpay biller code so I don't know if im doing something wrong or they are 2 different systems and I cant pay my rates from billpay?

        They are different.

      • Yola on 18/08/2023 - 06:54

        Post Billpay uses CC.

  • Craze on 16/08/2023 - 23:32

    I decided to buy two (in separate transactions) and both went through fine, phew!

  • spizades on 16/08/2023 - 23:36

    killer deal - paid my rates, strata, water bill, gas and electric and saved almost 200 bones. Didnt work on chrome so tried on edge and came through smoothly. GC came 2 min after the invoice. Big up

    • rokufan on 18/08/2023 - 00:14

      Haha. Didn't work on Edge for me but worked with Chrome.

  • Owgasm on 16/08/2023 - 23:41

    Comments looking a bit better. I’ll give it another day or so and see where we are at…

  • dingding26 on 16/08/2023 - 23:48

    How does coles make money from this? At least buying physical cards at the stores, theres a chance people also go shopping.

    • truetypezk on 17/08/2023 - 09:15
      +2

      Coles probably just make a flat $/card for licensing their brand name to be used on the card.
      Heritage bank probably imposes a fixed service charge structure for the financial backbone administration.
      Incomm is probably counting on you forgetting/not able to spend the entire balance on the card. Or even better you have thrown away the physical card or have deleted the original emails when the merchant sends you a refund a few months later:)
      Given the number of people and novices who buy the cards, I am sure all of them are making a very healthy profit.

    • n0mad on 17/08/2023 - 09:46

      answer is probably in you post, by not shopping coles/heritage bank earn interest on the money sitting unsued. With high interest rates probably enough margin to cover the cost of quick users

      • truetypezk on 18/08/2023 - 10:18

        Yeah I am no expert but perhaps Incomm/HB can use the money in the trust account for some kind of approved low-risk investment as well.

        • n0mad on 18/08/2023 - 13:05

          probably home lending

    As of now cards I'm email can not be read.

    Vccardelivery domain 500 error

    Maybe someone is trying to hack the servers causing an overloaded database server.

  • Rad19874812 on 17/08/2023 - 00:54

    Was skeptical at first seeing the negative comments regarding previous amazon deal. Decided to buy 2 and used it to buy GC on shopback and also pay my Medibank private premium which worked well. Ended up using a different account to buy 3 more to load up on my medibank and more GC for groceries.

  • edmobile8 on 17/08/2023 - 01:05

    getting Vccardelivery domain 500 error now..

  • Turd on 17/08/2023 - 01:35

    Fixed now

  • abacus on 17/08/2023 - 02:32

    Tried 20 times, big waste of time. Chrome, Firefox, 4 different cards.

  • TEER3X on 17/08/2023 - 06:32

    Bought last night as someone else suggested incognito chrome, commbank card.

    Bought 10, delivered within 5 minutes, used them all for a bill

  • Repstar on 17/08/2023 - 07:02

    What’s a good way to spend a few remaining $$$ on the card?

    • Repstar on 17/08/2023 - 07:47

      Amazon gift cards worked fine FYI to use left over balance.

      • BargainsGrabber on 17/08/2023 - 08:01
        +1

        To add to this, it has to be a minimum of $1 balance if you’re purchasing the Amazon gift cards :)

        • Repstar on 17/08/2023 - 08:08

          @BargainsGrabber yep! HELP! Got 33c left on one card

          • Bdawg on 17/08/2023 - 09:34

            @Repstar: Maybe ATO prepay tax or HECS/HELP. Don't know if they have a min.

      • asc on 17/08/2023 - 16:42

        90c left over.

          Optus accepts credit/debit card payments down to $0.01. Handy if you or a family member happen to have an account.

  • Koopedup on 17/08/2023 - 07:45

    So this can only be used in Coles? And can we use it instore at the self checkouts?

    • BargainsGrabber on 17/08/2023 - 08:00
      +2

      Nope, it can only be used online as these are e-Mastercard and there’s no physical black strip that you’re able to swipe at the eftpos if using in store

  • B-Man02 on 17/08/2023 - 07:46

    how are people paying their bills with them? i cant seem to work out how to use them on bpay

    • Yola on 17/08/2023 - 08:04

      You do not use them on bpay. You use them like a credit card but up to the maximum. If there is a surcharge you need to deduct it.

  • Neil2016 on 17/08/2023 - 08:31

    Bought $4000 in total. I think my battle is over! Topped up my Amazon balance, private health insurance and council rates!

        this is debit card not credit card. And my council rates is no surcharge

        • Poor Ass on 17/08/2023 - 12:23

          Then that means there's no surcharge for your rates

  • Bdawg on 17/08/2023 - 09:47

    Do you think I could pay $40k to my builder or might heritage bank block it after a few $k?

    • 10101010101 on 17/08/2023 - 09:56

      That would be ballsy. But then again building in the current economic climate takes balls. Hope you don't end up in a Porter Davis situation or one of the other 1000 builders that have collapsed and run off with prepayments

      • Bdawg on 17/08/2023 - 10:10

        I was waiting for Tas to reintroduce builder insurance but build price almost doubled and I got sick of eating fees on a vacant block and it turns out the government has decided to provide an equivalent guarantee until it is reintroduced. Not a great situation but… Risk reward!

        • shap08 on 17/08/2023 - 13:43

          how does the contract work with build prices increasing or have they settled out?

          • Bdawg on 17/08/2023 - 13:55
            +1

            @shap08: The contract is fixed price. So the last house I built they ate a massive haircut, this time they pumped up prices because of increased cost and also I assume for some buffer in case prices spiral again.

            I got a quote about mid 2022 years ago that was 125% of what it was 2021. So I held off and now it's gone up almost another 100%. So I signed, sick of paying for vacant block and watching prices endlessly rising. I don't expect build prices will come down or stop going up any time soon.

            • shap08 on 17/08/2023 - 13:57

              @Bdawg: Thanks for the explanation.

    • Turd on 17/08/2023 - 10:08

      You have to ask your builder if they can split payment, if they allow it, 100% it will work.

      • nightelves on 17/08/2023 - 10:09

        Were you able to buy giftcards this morning?

          • nightelves on 17/08/2023 - 10:14

            @Bdawg: I might be blocked like a few others on here.

            • joeiwu on 17/08/2023 - 10:47

              @nightelves: Any idea how long the block lasts for?

              • nightelves on 17/08/2023 - 10:48

                @joeiwu: I think it's linked to the otp from the card. The part where it verifies the amount before proceeding. If the card is tied to the same phone number than it won't work. That's my theory.

                • joeiwu on 17/08/2023 - 10:49

                  @nightelves: Interesting theory. I assume the block is only around 24hours or is it longer?

                  • nightelves on 17/08/2023 - 10:50

                    @joeiwu: I'm hoping so. I haven't got another card with a different phone number tied to it that I can test.

  • Crowing on 17/08/2023 - 10:50

    Managed to get $3k worth yesterday in 3 different transactions. Tried again just now with same details and Citi CC but getting transaction error. Same with Nab CC. How odd…

    • nightelves on 17/08/2023 - 10:51

      I suspect if the otp number is linked to the same number than it won't work.

    • joeiwu on 17/08/2023 - 10:53

      I suspect yesterday they didn't have the restrictions, but today they put the restrictions back up due? I was surprised people (including me) could buy multiple orders yesterday. This certainly isn't the expected behaviour as I had bought these in the past and I generally can only get 10 max a day in 1 order.

    • Bigboy97 on 17/08/2023 - 14:18

      Just did my 4th one then, 10 cards for the first 3 then 7 cards for the 4th.

  • nickskewl on 17/08/2023 - 12:14

    Tried using gmail, hotmail with 3 different card combinations but fails in the end saying, Transaction failed, Contact Customer Care. The only thing consistent in filling form is name, and address. (Mobile using 2 separate as well)

    • highwind on 17/08/2023 - 12:28

      From my experiences, name, email address, physical address and mobile, all do not affect whether the transaction goes through or not (I've used the same details for multiple successful purchases). I did change the credit card used each time, though not sure that matters either since there are reports of many many sets being bought by the same person.
      I currently use Chrome on PC, Incognito and disable my ad-blocker to purchase (again, not sure if that even matters)

      • Yola on 17/08/2023 - 12:32

        Yes, it's so random. I purchased 5x10 yesterday. Different everything. On the 6th repeated details of the 1st - failed. Repeated again this morning worked. My husband purchased several using the same info.

      • Bdawg on 17/08/2023 - 12:39

        I bought 30x10 today. Same details, used one cc twice in a row and another for the last one. No problems.

      Did you account for any % transaction fee? If not this would tip you over the $100 for example 1% fee would make it $101 which would be declined for insufficient balance.

      • beaniemeanie on 17/08/2023 - 12:48

        Yes, there's a 1% transaction fee, the payment amount I put $99, so the total payment amount is $99.99 which is within $100. I tried several times and the transactions were all failed..

However, on the first day, yes that happened but I knew it was unsuccessful because i got the failure notification on the website but my CC was still charged. Wasn't expecting an email as it had failed. Had to call them. They saw the charge and said it will be refunded in 2-4 days.
