    I just checked my local Coles today and saw that some of the celebration gift cards only have other retailers such as H&M and JD, but do not show officeworks. Looks like these are the older 2021 versions.

    Does anyone know if we can still use these older cards at officeworks?

    • +4

      Yes.

      I have redeemed Celebration gift cards with and without the Officeworks logo on it at Officeworks in the past and they all worked fine.

      Officeworks was added to the Celebration gift card in September 2022, which explains the reason that it does not appear on cards manufactured in 2021.

        Thanks so much for confirming, you really are the god of gift cards :D

    • there is also a QR code on the back you can scan to check where it can be used, for additional peace of mind!

  • Not sure if the older version of the card (those are having the Deliveroo logo) can redeemable from Officeworks?

  • What is the maximum gift card you can use at Officeworks?

    • +4

      It's in WookieMonsters FAQ, listed as, the ozbargain record is 20, I pmsl when I read that, that is f'en hilarious.

      See here and click the 20 to see the original post.

    • +5

      I've just used 27 cards in 1 transaction today, no idea if there's a limit.

  • Does the Officeworks receipt show it was purchased with gift cards?

    • +4

      If you pay for an item using a Celebration gift card, the Officeworks receipt will show you used a Visa card. The receipt will show the last four digits of the Visa card, amongst some other details.

      If you add a Celebration gift card to a supported mobile wallet and then pay using that card on your mobile wallet, the receipt should also show that the type of Visa card you used was VISA PREPAID.

  • Thinking about purchasing this to use to purchase an Apple Pencil gen 2 from OW. Anyone got any good deals on the pencil that I could potentially PB at OW?

  • +1

    Dropped by 3 coles this morning, tonnes of stock in all shelves. Don’t need to fight. Officeworks logo isn’t present on the cards I purchased.

    • -1

      I noticed the same thing (lack of OW logo), got suspicious and called the local OW and the manager said they are no longer accepting them.

  • I'm thinking of getting the AirPods Pro 2 with this or should I wait for Black Friday deals next month?

    • why not both?

      I bought a bunch and I'm hoping for a ~10% discount on Apple products at or around the black friday sales

  • Purchased this morning, tried to use at OW online but getting a payment error at checkout. I also can't see an option to exchange for an OW gift card. This card doesn't have Officeworks listed on the front either, but I can definitely see it as one of the merchants online when checking the balance.

    • I believe it’s only in store

    • +1

      Have you contacted Officeworks to see why you are getting a payment error at checkout on the Officeworks website? That should help indicate where the problem may be, as it is currently not clear whether the problem is caused by the customer, Officeworks or Blackhawk Network.

    • +1

      Not sure what the issue ended up being but OW was able to process the transaction over the phone with the same details I punched into the online payment form.

      • May I ask did you provide the PCN and then the 4 Digits pin or the card number details?

        • +1

          Card number details.

          The PCN is the proxy card number, which is the unique identifier Blackhawk Network assigns to your gift card. The PCN cannot be used to process payments at participating retailers, as a PCN is not used to process payments on the Visa network.

    • -1

      It’s good to know OW is still listed as a merchant online, as I was told by OW that they are no longer accepting the new celebration card.

      • Another ow staff making shit up

        They like doing that

  • +3

    Apple Ipad Air 5th Gen 64gb for $689

    OW price beat Digidirect price brings it down to $849
    $800 worth of gift cards purchased for $680 at Coles + Commbank Reward $40 cashback after spending $200 at Coles = $640

    Paid the remainder $49 cash.

    Not bad

    • Good job. I tried to price match a Macbook M1, and the lady in front of me an Apple Watch. Both rejected due to Officework dodgy SKU policy.

      • I asked them to price beat digi direct for apple watch s9. It was a lot of trouble but at last they agreed.

    • did you add gift cards to phone to pay at officeworks?

      • No need just use the physical card

  • Anyone know if I can use this to buy Apple Gift Card in OfficeWork? Thanks

    • No, unfortunately.

      • That's sad, but thank you for the reply!

      • Are you sure ? I did in the past and purchased the Visa cards without. A issue

        • Visa card might be classed differently to gift cards, although the gift cards work like credit cards. They have signs (at least at officeworks i went to) on the terminals that state gift cards cannot be purchased with gift cards.

        • errr how long ago was that?

  • I'm planning to get the GCs for later use but don't feel safe keeping the cards worried it might be corrupted or some sort, is that possible I save it into Apple wallet so I can sleep better?

  • Can these cards be easily hacked like the mastercard gift cards or can I use them a couple months later without worrying?

  • -1

    I also noticed that the OW logo is now missing from the gift card.
    I called the local OW directly, and the manager said they were no longer accepting them.
    The celebrations card website does mention that the availability of particular merchants does vary.
    Has anyone also found this to be case?

    • +2

      I used 7x$200 gift vouchers today that did not have officeworks on the card but they were still accepted

      • That's good to know. I purchased 19 gift cards today, some with the Officeworks logo and some without.

        • How can you buy 19 but they limit to 5?

          • +2

            @SR9: Easy, several different stores, same store different staff, same young staff that don't care and having a partner/friend to help buy.

    • Officeworks worked for me. Went in and bought some stuff using the Giftcard. Easy to use.

      • Did the giftcard you used have the Officeworks logo on it?

  • Those who purchased these Gift Cards, can you confirm if we get 15% off the face value of the cards, or we get 15% extra credit?
    Just looking to purchase something from OW and calculating how much worth of cards I should purchase. Thanks.

  • -2

    Almost made the mistake of buying the card without officework’s name on it. The card works only for those stores printed on it just so that everyone is aware.

    • Has something changed since yesterday?

      • +1

        No, mine did not have the Officeworks logo on it and it worked successfully.

        • +1

          Likewise - No Officeworks logo and worked without issues.

    • But yesterday someone used the gift cards without the Officeworks logo & was accepted.

      • If you add the GC to Apple, Samsung or Google Wallet, it clearly shows Officeworks on it when you open the Wallet. So simply head to any OW store and pay using the multiple GCs one by one.

      • Oh I see. I went to check FAQ on exchangecelebration.com.au regarding merchants that are accepted. I’m more confused now.

    • +2

      Just used 6 cards of $100 each at OW instore without any issues

      • That’s good to know. Is OW printed on you cards?

    • +1

      I used cards with and without officeworks logo yesterday without a problem.

  • -1

    Can you get Apple gift cards at Officeworks with this?

  • +3

    Used the Celebration gift cards (without having Officeworks logo on it) in Officeworks store successfully.

  • Does anyone know if there is a fee for purchasing these gift cards? Like with the pre-paid visa cards?

  • +10

    Just wanted to thank everyone for their questions and responses befoee i purchased gift cards, and especially @WookieMonster for great FAQ. 👍

    I managed to order and pay for macbook pro with 15 x gift cards, thanks to some patient and frienly staff.

    Saved over $750 off retail. 😁

  • Can I use this card on the officeworks website?

    Also, does the card have an expiry date? I'm hoping to keep them to get my kids' school list for the next few years.

    • +1

      Can I use this card on the officeworks website?

      In theory, yes. You can only redeem a maximum of one per transaction on the Officeworks website, because Officeworks' website cannot handle split payments.

      In practice, your order may be cancelled for honestly unknown reasons.

      Also, does the card have an expiry date?

      Any remaining balance on a Celebration gift card will expire three years from the gift card's date of issue.

      However, the expiry date you use for card-not-present transactions (e.g. online transactions) and for adding the Celebration gift card to a mobile wallet is 12/29.

  • Local coles store around north western sydney don't have any of these cards left. Anyone know any stores still having these cards around 2148 postcode?

  • Did anyone manage to buy an iphone from OW recently? Shows cannot buy online from the website.

    • Yes - I managed to order and pay in store earlier this week to be picked up the next day (not all colours were available for order though). This is in VIC.

      • May I ask which store? And did you order an iPhone Pro 15?

        • Yes - Ringwood

    • I'm wanting an iPhone 15 pro too but the website says all stores and online are out. I called and was told the entire company is out of stock for them.

  • At the time of this comment there is no stock in St Leonards or Crows Nest. Few $100 cards left in Neutral Bay, and lots of $100 (at least 15 I think) left in Chatswood Chase.

    Officework Chatswood happily accepted my 13 cards.

  • Heaps of cards at my two local Coles. And my Officeworks checkout guy was super helpful and scratched the PIN codes for me with his key ring. Said he did it all the time.

  • Heaps of stock left at Braybrook VIC.

  • Clearly shows Officeworks logo in Apple wallet despite not being on the original card.

  • Has anyone seen stock in Brissie?

    • +1

      Still quite a few left in Rochedale after I bought a stack today. None at Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, or Browns Plains. Was also heaps at Everton Park when I dropped in this afternoon.

    • Fair few on the shelves at Coles (Local) Cooparoo this evening.

    Purchased an ipad 9th gen 64GB at OW. OW price is $447, PB with Costco's $439.99 by 5%.

    Eventually paid $439.99 x 0.95 x 0.85 = $355

    Paid by cards with no OW logo which were issued in 2021

    • @hohoisme Bargain. That's great OW can PB Costco. Did you have to show your Costco membership?

      • No the girl did not ask me to and was very happy to PB when I showed her the Costco webpage on my phone.

        If they do, just tell them that the policy has changed that membership is no longer required for PB.

      • I was able to PB with Costco at OW in-store and was not asked to show Costco membership.

  • Just wondering how much GST is printed on the receipt for the iconic? I assume its 10% of the price we paid for the cards at coles (not the value of the gift card). I'll be doing a TRS refund so just curious.

    • GST is just what's on Iconic's invoice.

      GST doesn't change regardless of what payment method you use.

  • If these are used for online payment is the expiry date still 12/2029?

  • Long shot: Anyone able to find any cards today? I went to my local coles yesterday and they said they ran out :(

    • Couldn't find any at 5 Coles in western Sydney… sad

      • Been none around me in South East Melbourne for days now.

        Ultimate Gift Cards going 10% off tomorrow in Coles, better than nothing!

        • All good found 2x$200 cards!

  • Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to purchase the iPhone 15 Pro Max using this gift card? While the Officeworks website indicates 'In-store pickup', 'Out of stock in store' it seems I have to make the purchase online, and I'm unable to find an option to split the order using the gift card. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • +1

      Call up the store and ask if the stock is in their warehouse or out the back on a pallet. They should be able to bring it in for you to purchase in store.

  • Can you purchase Apple gift cards instore with these Celebration Gift Card ?
