    Anyone know if these work at ATO?

    • WookieMonster on 22/04/2024 - 17:20

      You cannot use these gift cards to make payments online at the ATO, because these gift cards do not support online transactions.

      You can only use this gift card in-person at merchants that choose to accept physical prepaid eftpos gift cards as a payment method.

        We can pay to ato from auspost. Can we pay using this GC?

        • WookieMonster on 22/04/2024 - 18:49

          No idea. I was never given a payment slip for my ATO debts in the past, so I was never able to test this out.

          The Auspost EFTPOS machine not accept this type card.

              @dbui8743: No since middle of last year. (If my memory is not wrong.)

              I used be use the prepaid EFTPOS card to pay my Amex at auspost.

              Edit: but what I used was from Blackhawk, this one is from TCN, not sure would be same or not.

                  @trotsky: I don't think Auspost blacklist any cards on their sides. Some card issuers choose to impost various restriction on using these cards at Auspost from time to time.

                    @truetypezk: An Auspost staff once told me they blocked all Gift card. When I swiped it was declined.
                    Can't remember which gift card I was using though.

                    • truetypezk on 30/04/2024 - 10:34

                      @sneijder: That's just BS. Some cards block Auspost as a merchant but Auspost does not block cards like Coles/Woolies do based on BINs. Make sure you are not doing it as a cash-out but as a purchase.

    • trotsky on 22/04/2024 - 20:50

      It depends on where you bought the Apple GC. If you're suggesting you bought an Apple GC from Coles using a Coles Mastercard GC, you would be the only person that has managed to do that in the last few years

      • shane23 on 22/04/2024 - 21:01

        I have not tested this myself yet, but I am 99.9% sure you cannot purchase the TCN eftpos gift cards in this deal at Woolworths using Coles/Vanilla Mastercard gift cards or Vanilla Visa gift cards.

        Some gift cards sold at Woolworths have more restrictions on the payment cards that you can use to pay for them. In other words, Woolworths does not apply the same restrictions on payment methods across all the gift cards sold in their stores. Some examples:

        • Someone told me today they tried to purchase a TCN eftpos gift card using a ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift card, but got the Items Not Allowed error. (This indicates Woolworths has increased restrictions on the payment cards you can use to purchase a TCN eftpos gift card.)

        • @dealsgrabber said back in September 2023 they tried to purchase a Perfect eftpos gift cards using a Coles Mastercard gift card and Vanilla Visa gift card, but got the Items Not Allowed error.

        • When I purchased an Activ Visa gift card last month, I tried to use a Vanilla Visa gift card as a payment method, but got the Items Not Allowed error.

        • On the other hand, if you purchase an Apple gift card, you can use a Vanilla Visa gift card to pay for it, because Woolworths is not as strict on the payment cards you can use to pay for Apple gift cards (or Ultimate gift cards, TCN HIM/HER/HOME/etc gift cards, Uber gift cards, etc).

        There is no harm in trying though. The worst that would probably happen is that a staff member will give you a lecture on how you cannot use gift cards to purchase gift cards.

          I can't answer for the TCN gift cards, but just yesterday I used Coles Mastercard's bought on discount to buy some Airbnb cards at Woolworths (sadly couldn't wait for a proper discount on them). I used a self service checkout and the only painful thing was the staff authorisation kicking in after 1 card is scanned.

          • Dark Zeus on 23/04/2024 - 13:05

            @quick-dry: To be honest, I purchased one TCN HIM gc from Woolworths (w/ 20x bonus points) with using my physical Coles Mastercard GC 3 weeks ago. No issue.

          verified today as same:

          SB SM card - Items Not Allowed
          Vanilla / Coles Mastercard - Items Not Allowed

          a staff member will give you a lecture on how you cannot use gift cards to purchase gift cards - Yes :)

    wow, when did the purchase fee come in for these cards?….right, they now have straight eftpos cards? Wonder if these are as easy to hack and drain as some of the others?

    • WookieMonster on 23/04/2024 - 09:33

      wow, when did the purchase fee come in for these cards?….right, they now have straight eftpos cards?

      Woolworths started selling TCN eftpos gift cards last month. They replaced Perfect eftpos gift cards (which Woolworths had been selling for a number of years to that point). Woolworths is also still selling Westfield eftpos gift cards. Open-loop eftpos gift cards being sold at Woolworths is nothing new.

      Wonder if these are as easy to hack and drain as some of the others?

      No.

      These gift cards can only be redeemed through card-present transactions, which means you need to present (i.e. swipe) the physical gift card on the EFTPOS terminal to redeem it. “Hacking and draining” a prepaid gift card would usually involve obtaining (or guessing) the card details and using it for a card-not-present transaction (e.g. online transaction, MOTO transaction), which is a type of transaction not supported on these gift cards.

      Having said that, there was a mysterious case I helped one OzBargainer with where they bought one of the old Perfect eftpos gift cards handled by Indue from Woolworths, loaded $500 onto it, and then there was a random charge for $490 at a jeweller a few weeks later in a different city (and the jeweller’s EFTPOS records showed the card used was physically swiped). The OzBargainer insisted they never lost their gift card or had someone access it without them knowing, which meant to me the issue was either:

      • An issue with Blackhawk Network in their back-end meant the charge was allocated to the wrong gift card, or

      • Someone stole the gift card from Woolworths, duplicated the information on the gift card’s magstripe, noted the PIN (because the PIN was only concealed by a weak security sticker) and then returned the gift card to Woolworths for someone else to buy.

    • shane23 on 23/04/2024 - 12:05

      I have been buying eftpos cards for 20+ years and they have always had a purchase fee. Unless you brought them from woolworths metro where they waived the purchase fee and you got a free coffee. Is that what you mean?

  • trixieb on 23/04/2024 - 12:28

    @WookieMonster Reading above, we can't use Coles MasterCard gift card or ShopBack's Supermarket card to buy this TCN gift card.

    Can this TCN card be used to buy Ultimate Everyone or Uber in Coles or Woolworths?

    This TCN card has to be swiped so cannot be used online or added to PayPal. May not suit me

    • VantageXL on 24/04/2024 - 00:04

      Yes, split payments are possible at self-checkouts.

    • Poor Ass on 26/04/2024 - 13:18

      yes but if you split too many times HSBC will blocked your card

      which has occurred

      • msmaster on 26/04/2024 - 13:39

        Wow! Didn't know that. How many transactions is too many?

        • Poor Ass on 26/04/2024 - 14:44

          well mine was a bit extreme I did like 9x $99 transactions and then on the 10th one it got blocked which I paid with another card

          you kind of stand there looking silly while the staff standing there is like wtf this guy doing so long

          • aaron3 on 26/04/2024 - 17:07

            @Poor Ass: You can use a different format of the HSBC card to get around this. E.g. tap card, tap Google Pay on phone, tap Google Pay on watch. Phone and watch use a different virtual card number to each other on Google Pay. Not sure about Apple.

    I don't have this offer on my Rewards app and cannot boost it. Does it require boosting before buying the gift cards?

    • WookieMonster on 24/04/2024 - 10:08
      +2

      No.

      This is a deal taken from the weekly catalogue, and is open to any Everyday Rewards members. If you look at the terms and conditions of this offer, there is no mention of boosting or activation required. (If this was a requirement, the terms and conditions would have said so.)

      I have never seen a deal for gift cards at Woolworths (or BIG W) where you had to activate a booster on your Everyday Rewards account beforehand. There was a booster for Apple gift cards as part of the last catalogue cycle, but the terms and conditions of the booster made it very clear you did not actually need to boost it before making a purchase.

      How it works: You do not need to boost this offer. To collect 20x points on Apple Gift Cards, purchase any Qualifying Gift Cards in-store and scan your Everyday Rewards Card before completing your transaction.

    • New Chump on 28/04/2024 - 15:50

      Not the clearest terms I have seen, but looks like a limit of 2 per day for the variable load cards:

      “For Eftpos $20-$500 and Eftpos Merindah-Gunya Variable $20-$500 cards where you choose the amount to load, a limit of 2 cards per day per Rewards Member in a single transaction.”

      • pluto on 28/04/2024 - 15:54
        +1

        Yes that was the case. I told them terms are not clear. They manually added points for 3rd card.

        • truetypezk on 28/04/2024 - 17:37

          I fail to understand which part of that terms isn't clear. I thought it is crystal clear that you can get max 2 cards/day and it has to be done in a single transaction, which seems not enforced though.

    • Dark Zeus on 28/04/2024 - 15:58
      +1

      That's unfortunately - For the 3rd card that you didn't get the EDR points, you can try and call EDR call centre and explain the situation.
