      What's dumber is people who actually pay them. If you are giving $100 as a gift, nothing beats the coldness of a freshly minted $100 note.

        The young ones don't know what cash is, too used to mindless tapping on their phones. Social meltdown when the banks online systems go down. Also using cash = having to do mental math to work out how much change you are meant to get.

          I had to call the number on the credit card to get it unblocked. The first transaction on a new card should go through but subsequent ones get blocked. Call and they will unblock it

        • SydOzber on 26/12/2023 - 06:16

          Last I used was on 16 Dec and it worked. I have about 100 x $250 cards to use and the I get the transaction declined message both on ATO portal as well as government easy pay.

        • SydOzber on 28/12/2023 - 18:08

          Can you please sign the petition and email Heritage. It worked last time and I am certain it will this time if we get atleast 50 signatures and emails sent out.

      • SydOzber on 26/12/2023 - 06:17

        Did it work recently and were they physical $250 cards or digital $250 master cards purchased from giftcards.com.au ?

        • Riz123 on 26/12/2023 - 06:17

          The physical 250 gift cards and yes they worked in last 2 weeks.

          • SydOzber on 26/12/2023 - 06:21

            @Riz123: The last I tried was on 16 Dec and it worked but doesn’t seem to be working now. Did it work for you in the last 48-72 hours ?

            • Riz123 on 26/12/2023 - 06:22

                @Riz123: Ahh mine is first transaction on a new card. Could you pls share the number as mine are digital cards and I have about 100 of them to use. So it’s going to be a pain if I have to call them every time to unblock

                • bbqwer on 26/12/2023 - 11:06

                  @SydOzber: Mine still not working after calling coles mastercard, mine is digital one.

                  I also try bought another 1 card yesterday, purposely to try for ATO , it did not work as well.

                  At this stage, I believe ATO blocked this type of cards.

                    @bbqwer: I believe it’s Heritage bank who blocked digital cards to be used at ATO. They did this previously with physical cards

    • tbone74 on 22/12/2023 - 11:56

      Make sure not to use any of the prepaid cards to overpay your likely tax bill. If you end up with any refund due to overpaying you won't receive your refund. You will need to contact ATO and provide them the card details you used to pay so they can reverse/refund the transaction(s).

      And after they do that you might find the reversal gets applied to different prepaid cards anyway. So make sure you keep the cards/details of all cards used until your refund is received.

      Also note the interest you normally receive if you've overpaid doesn't apply to payments using credit cards.

      • amorphous2111 on 22/12/2023 - 22:02

        Did you manage to talk to the ATO and give them the card details? I am in the same boat but every time I called they just advised that mine is on the top of the pile to be processed (money goes bacl to the gift cards and the rest, actually tax refund, goes to my bank account) but it has been 4 months. Just sitting there like that.

        Would be nice to get that money back on time for topping up the utility accounts.

        • tbone74 on 23/12/2023 - 01:40

          Yes it took ages for it to get resolved for me also.

          I had to lodge a formal complaint to get it resolved in the end.

          • amorphous2111 on 23/12/2023 - 09:39

            @tbone74: Thanks, look like a formal complaint is the way to go. Cheers.

  • bloomer on 22/12/2023 - 11:16

    It's a long time since I've bought these on a points-back-per-card basis. Do you need to do each one as a separate transaction, or would buying e.g. 3 cards in one transaction yield 3x2000 points?

    • io on 22/12/2023 - 11:22

      3 cards in a single transaction will give 6k points.

    They don’t do discounted cards as ppl are already spending for all events like Haloween, Black Friday, Christmas and Boxing Day etc. and ppl usually spend a lot till the end of January. I expect that good deals will come after the spending season is over. They do make a lot of money from unused gift cards and it is also a way to get customers through the door and make them spend on other things. Also store specific cards do increase brand loyalty hence we see this large industry of gift cards.

  • Peck on 22/12/2023 - 11:46

    I assume that we get 2100 points, including 100 standard points, on a $100 MCGC. Who is going to do the maths?

      • ace888 on 22/12/2023 - 11:59

        Wouldn't that be 2105 for $100 card (due to $5 fee)?

          • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 22/12/2023 - 12:19

            @noelhoi: The 9.11% assumes value in the $5 activation.

            • noelhoi on 22/12/2023 - 12:22

              @JohnHowardsEyebrows: Ok sorry, 3rd time’s the charm.
              2105pts will be rewarded, worth $10.525.
              (10.525-5)/(105+10.525)
              = 4.78% effectively

              Funny coz the old 10% $250 works to be 7.48%

              • wildstone on 22/12/2023 - 12:55
                +2

                @noelhoi: You pay $105.
                You receive $10.525 of equivalent amount back.
                The actual monetary value is $100.

                You would effectively had paid $105 - $10.525 = $94.475, for something that has a value of $100.

                Therefore, paying $94.475 for something that is $100, means you get a 5.525% of discount.

                • noelhoi on 22/12/2023 - 13:03
                  +1

                  @wildstone: Yeah this has been discussed many times, you can argue that way but the way I see it it’s not a direct Cashback or Discount in cash, you need to spend that in Coles group stores again, hence the (105+10.525) part.

                  • wildstone on 22/12/2023 - 13:08

                    @noelhoi: Yes depends how you see it. If you are going to spend cash in Coles anyway, then my calculation is correct.

                    If you are going to spend $10.525 cold hard cash in Coles anyway but not anywhere else, buying this $100 card will mean that you are receiving a 5.525% discount of a $100 cash value.

    • FOX on 22/12/2023 - 15:24

      Jesus, seeing all the guys trying to do the correct maths……assuming you get 2105 points per $100 MCGC, which is worth $10*(2105/2000) = $10.525 Flybuys dollars, and also assume this $10.525 is equivalent to real cash (real professional would argue its real cash value is less than its face value and this is actually correct since one would be able to obtain discounted Coles gift card elsewhere , but let’s just say they’re equivalent):

      $100 MCGC:
      1-105/(100+10.525) = 4.99887%

      $250 MCGC:
      1-257/(250+10.525) = 1.35304%

    Is there anyway we can redeem flybuy points by simply scanning the Flybuys barcode, just like Everyday Rewards in Woolworths?

    Needing to swipe a Flybuys card is troublesome and that card is not always with you.

      • Craze on 28/12/2023 - 13:14

        Most discounted gift cards are loss leaders to entice people to shop in store and buy other things.

        But I wonder for this round of offer if availability is affected partially due to public holidays so low stock across most stores.
