Whilst it is certainly no Amazon promotion like last year, I reckon it's just as good!

For Black Friday this year, ALDI will be running a limited-time 10% off the $25 Pocket Money Prepaid Gift Card.

This card usually incurs a $3.95 activation fee, which is being waived this time round, so it'll only cost you $22.50, for $25 worth of money!!

10% discount applied to load value of card and $3.95 card fee is waived when purchased between 22 November 2023 and 26 November 2023. Limit of 4 cards per customer. Please refer to individual cards for usage terms and conditions or visit www.microgifts.com/terms-of-use.

Enjoy!

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2023

    4 cards per customer ruins it a bit but glad to see that they waived the activation fee!

    • HamBoi69 on 10/11/2023 - 20:50

      Don't you have several ALDI's near you?

        Petrol plus time spent driving around eats into the 10% saving.

      Last time there was no system limit (on amazon cards) at least for starting of the promo, who knows if the tech team actually did …. job this time ?? (personally sold more than 5 last time in same transaction)

      Ill squeeze this one here:
      Probably everybody knows … except me …

      It is a CARDLESS gift card. CARD LESS. No card.
      Your money (min $22.50) goes into a digital App.

      No plastic.

      Please correct me if wrong.

      I learned about this "feature" (cardLESS) minutes away from embarking in a lengthy gift card purchase expedition.

      My problem: fund$ were planned for a very elderly shopper. She only recently mastered the Tap&Pay technology … Not a chance for an App.

  • ilovefullprice on 10/11/2023 - 20:55

    Can these cards be loaded into Apple/Google Pay.

    • HamBoi69 on 10/11/2023 - 20:55

      Yes. I believe so. I think they are Apple/Google Pay exclusive's.

  • easternculture on 10/11/2023 - 21:04

    Nice . Time to pull out the costumes. Go to an aldi that has 4 registers and go to each register.

              @shane23: If the limit is 4 per customer, that's 20 trips minimum to hit 2k.

              Unless you got a few people with you, a store who doesn't care about the limit, or are in the most opportune Aldi zone ever, that's some solid legwork.

        No you can't. Discounted Coles MC come in $100 and $250 denominations and you can't do split payment (Plus they've probably blocked these cards)

        • Nelumbo on 10/11/2023 - 22:28

          I have been able to split my payment when buying Coles Mastercard gift cards. I use the cashier checkouts, and they’ve allowed me to do it.

          • wangasm on 10/11/2023 - 22:29

            @Nelumbo: Sorry was referring to online.
            Also remains if Coles has blocked this card for gift card payment like they have others.

      • Fatfat on 26/11/2023 - 16:26

        You can't. And one thing is when you try to use this card to buy other card( such as coles master card) , their system may block you card. You have to waste your time to call them to unblock…. I have one bad experience before. So now I never try…

  • MiscOzB on 10/11/2023 - 22:31

    Hopefully can pay with Visa Activ cards (bought $1k worth in the recent deal stacked with HSBC 2% cashback). This is a good deal to use HSBC on too, 4 cards for under $100 each time, 11.5% saving after taking off 0.5% for surcharge.

    • Neoika on 10/11/2023 - 23:15

      I think no surcharge on HSBC now as it reroutes via eftpos.

      • SydOzber on 11/11/2023 - 00:16

        do we need to set that in apple pay ?

      • wangasm on 11/11/2023 - 03:26

        HSBC don't pay the cashback if it's routed to Eftpos

        • souths123 on 22/11/2023 - 08:30

          it does. I have done Aldi shops where there is no surcharge now, and I still get the 2% cashback

  • GimmeCashback on 10/11/2023 - 22:32

    So how do these things work?

    https://www.microgifts.com/pocket_money/

    These can be used basically anywhere that accepts a normal Mastercard credit card?

    • WookieMonster on 10/11/2023 - 23:26
      +6

      Not quite.

      The Mastercard in this deal is a prepaid gift card, which means it is only accepted instore or online at merchants who choose to accept prepaid Mastercard gift cards. For example:

      • If an online merchant requires a Mastercard to support 3-D Secure1, this prepaid gift card will be rejected, because prepaid gift cards are unable to support this feature. However, a Mastercard debit/credit card supporting 3-D Secure would be fine at that online merchant.

      • If an online merchant blocks all prepaid cards as a payment method, this prepaid gift card will be rejected. For example, Cashrewards’ gift card portal does this.

      1. You see this sometimes with online merchants when they get the card issuer to have the customer enter a one-time password to verify the customer is also the registered cardholder. ↩

    Can these be used to pay the ATO?

    • SydOzber on 11/11/2023 - 00:20

      keen to know as well but $25 each time and 10 cards limit per day is going to take forever as I have a huge bill

      • laolabi on 23/11/2023 - 15:23

        This card doesn't like the coles MC. It is a digital cash which you need to top on a digital card in their app, and the card that you use to pay is fixed. So the amount can be stacked.

    • EmployeeUSER DC @ ALDI on 11/11/2023 - 00:25
      +1

      If this is eftpos card then you can go to Auspost to pay with eftpos/Savings there.

      But Aupost people made very very aware of these sort of transactions (they get very suspicous, and good luck paying in multiples of $25 to pay a 500 or so plus bill, + annoying people behind you and the staff)

      • WookieMonster on 11/11/2023 - 00:37
        +1

        No, the gift card in this deal is a prepaid Mastercard gift card, as you can see on the MicroGifts website (which is also linked in OP’s description) and the packaging. There is also no physical gift card in the Pocket Money packaging.

        Additionally, if you want to pay an ATO debt at Australia Post, you need to have a payment slip with a barcode on it. The ATO does not provide a payment slip for some types of ATO debt (e.g. HELP debts).

        • MrBillions on 22/11/2023 - 18:07

          Love that idea

        • laolabi on 23/11/2023 - 15:37

          You don't need to worry about split payments, because this $25 card gives you a QR code. You need to scan the QR code to top up the digital card in their app, which provide a digital mastercard. Add the card to your google/apple wallet and you can use it on any eftpos. No limitations for top-up.

    • maverick1 on 22/11/2023 - 15:32

      yes! I just paid today.
