                @mmcs: VicRoads is a funny one. Some people can't bring themselves to pay the $2.60 quarterly admin fee even though they are already saving heaps more than that by paying with a gift card.

                • fuzor on 14/09/2023 - 15:53

                  @capslock: The issue is when the annual is already due, it would be too late for you to switch over now.

      You can split pay rego @ vic roads office, max 3 cards + cash
      can't do this in post office or online
      so the best way is to change it to half-yearly and pay it in 4 cards (2 cards X 2 transactions).
      admin fee will be something like $5 in total

          So I found that after I completed all the steps in "Getting Started" and tried again the next day, it worked.

          But by now all the $250 would have gone…

    Are those safer than digital or worse?

    • Bdawg on 15/09/2023 - 09:16

      I'd say worse because in the past people have sliced open the packs to get the details then sealed them up and put back on the shelf. Apparently they made it harder to do with different packaging though. I've never had a problem though.

  • lilfatbum on 14/09/2023 - 21:38

    @WookieMonster I tried to purchase something worth $40 with this card from woolies yesterday and press enter when asked for PIN however card would not work. It worked at petrol station before going to woolies. Had sufficient funds and also worked at coffee shop today. So wondering what can be the issue for woolies.

    • WookieMonster on 15/09/2023 - 10:43

      What was the error message you saw on the EFTPOS terminal at Woolworths (or the error code printed on the receipt)?

      • webjockey on 15/09/2023 - 11:00

        Sorry I can’t remember it but I tried 3 times. No luck

        • WookieMonster on 15/09/2023 - 17:26
          +2

          Without knowing what the error message was, it would be tricky to know why your card was rejected in the first place.

          I have seen recent commentary that some redemption attempts at Woolworths will trigger a Card Over Limit error, but I have no idea what would cause that.

          Your transactions could have also been rejected, because Woolworths was unable to contact the gift card issuer, or Woolworths was refusing to process the gift card, or some other weird unexplainable error…

            @WookieMonster: I tried to use them at Woolworths Metro store today to buy The Perfect Eftpos gift card but got the "Items Not Allowed" message. Then tried to use the Cokes Mastercard gift card and got the same as well. Looks like wollies have blocked these cards to purchase another gift card.

            • WookieMonster on 15/09/2023 - 21:29

              @dealsgrabber: I heard a few weeks ago that Woolworths blocked the Coles Mastercard gift card from being used to pay for a Perfect eftpos gift card. However, I think you should still be fine purchasing closed-loop gift cards (other than gift cards issued by Woolworths Group) at Woolworths using Coles Mastercard gift cards and Vanilla Visa gift cards:

              • I had no issues using Coles Mastercard gift cards to purchase a Super Adventure gift card last weekend.

              • Someone reported that they used Vanilla Visa gift cards to purchase Ultimate Home gift cards a few hours ago.

              • dealsgrabber on 16/09/2023 - 06:37
                +1

                @WookieMonster: I think I now know what may have happened. The lady at the counter might have acted smart and purposely selected gift card as the payment option. When I asked for payment to be split into multiple cards to which I told Visa card, she would have acted smart and selected gift card as she probably understood I was using prepaid gift cards. I think she was just being oversmart!

              • R n b on 19/09/2023 - 16:06

                @WookieMonster: I just used coles gift MasterCard to buy ultimate gift card. But bloody hard to use in front of staff as they are keep saying that “not allow to use gift-cards to buy gift card”. I just bought $3500 ultimate gift cards (obviously different rewards cards and different Woolworths) but only managed to use $1400 coles gift MasterCard and rests from credit cards. The conclusion is Woolworth banned coles gift MasterCard to buy Woolworth giftcard plus prepaid visa and eftpos cards but not for third party gift card “yet”.

  • Legend279 on 15/09/2023 - 10:48

    I would like to try and use these cards to then buy Apple gift cards (6%) discount and subsequently buy a new phone… my math brings this to a 13.6% discount but hoping someone else has tried this!

    The following fees are applicable to your Card:
    Monthly Maintenance Fee (commences 7th month from date of purchase) $2.50
    Foreign Exchange Margin (on converted amount) 2.5%

    By the looks of it, there's a monthly maintenance fee if you keep the card for too long.

  • TEER3X on 17/09/2023 - 15:56

    Getting insufficient balance error, looks like there's a pending $1 charge. So hard to bloody use these cards. I guess I'll wait and try again later.

  • mrdng on 19/09/2023 - 11:46

    I believe there is a limit on how many cards can be used at a single merchant a day/or a time period. But I just can't find a way to confirm it.

    I've tried to use the cards to pay my council rates, I was able to use up to 5 cards before "transaction was declined" error. But then the next day I could use the same cards which were declined the day before, but can't go above 5 cards.

    Today I tried to swap the cards by buying store credit of an online electronic store, I could only use 4 cards before the similar declined message was displayed. I'll try again after 24 hours and see. My theory was someone else could have used 1 card before me at the same store. If that's the case, potentially ozbargainers will probably need to "fight" for the 5 slots per day at a popular store in the upcoming days! This is ridiculously funny!

    @WookieMonster, is this something expected? Do you know the approx limit per day/period of time of these cards? Thanks alot!

    • wangasm on 19/09/2023 - 13:09

      These type of limits are commonly enforced per customer by the merchant or their payment processor for security/fraud reasons. There are many places that do this, all with differing limits. To name a few well known ones: ATO, JB Hifi, Sniip and Shopback

      • mrdng on 19/09/2023 - 14:34

        I'm pretty sure declined status is from the card issuer, not from the merchant side. (I'm a software developer familiar working with a few different payment gateways)

        I've got to try with other online merchants who automatically requested 3D Secure, which apparently failed for this prepaid card. In a flexible payment implementation, they should continue the payment without authentication for Prepaid Card. But they of course can argue that they "follow" the best-practices.

        If merchants enforce Strong Customer Authentication for online transactions, these type of prepaid cards will not work at all.

        I guess we need to be ready to hop through all these hassles to save ourselves a few bucks :D

        • wangasm on 19/09/2023 - 14:57

          Many merchants use "Declined" as a generic error message. The ATO portal also says "Declined" if you use too many cards, where it's actually them blocking the card, not the issuer. And yes this card will usually fail where 3DS is required.

          • mrdng on 19/09/2023 - 15:03

            @wangasm: yeah, that's true. Merchants can just use "Declined" as a blanket message for all failed payments. Maybe it's time to turn on my VPN and give it another try

      No. They just make up the rules. These deals bring out the worst power trips, especially in older long-term female employees. Speaking as an older female. One I have encountered in 2 stores in the past week is you can only buy 5 cards even though my husband and I were purchasing separately. The assistant said because they were going to the some place. Duh.

The death glare we got while buying them💀
