        It is probably wise to play it safe, but I did all 4 in one go transaction and got the full 20K EDR / 10K QFF

          Staffed-checkout or self-check?

            @rokufan: Shouldn't really matter, I did 2 then 1 both at assisted checkout and points credited instantly. Points show up on the checkout screen, and obviously in app as well.

      Just did this morning.

      I tend to use the prepaid cards immediately to avoid issues down the track.

      Make advance payments to various bills, use a spreadsheet to track credits are correctly applied in future bills.

      Yes but they incur a credit card surcharge so just do the math to use up the full $500 in one transaction

    Majura park Canberra ACT has 4 vanilla visa and 1 birthday gift card. Variable 20-500 version.
    I only bought 2 visa, effectively 2 vanilla visa and 1 birthday gift card left.
    Staff said only a couple of cards were sold in the morning I would assume there are some hiding in the frozen area.
    Happy hunting :p

    @WookieMonster Do you know if these can be added to PayPal? What about adding to Google Wallet? Thanks in advance.

      I just linked the one I purchased this morning to PayPal and had no issues.

      I tried adding the one I purchased this morning to Google Wallet, but I got the following message:

      This card can’t be set up for contactless payments. Your bank doesn’t support paying contactless on your device with your card. Try adding another card or see which cards can be set up to pay contactless.

      • r8 on 04/12/2024 - 11:26

        I got the same error message with google wallet contactless payment. Also note that the Samsung pay doesnt support Vanilla visa for contactess payments.

      • bravemeow on 04/12/2024 - 23:16

        Hi @WookieMonster kindly ask when people would use PayPal?

        I just sign up PayPal and link one prepaid card successfully.

          You can use PayPal at online merchants that choose to accept them.

          PayPal is particularly useful if you want to purchase an item from an online merchant that will otherwise reject your Vanilla Visa gift card if you try to use it directly on the website instead.

          For example, if you want to buy a discounted Woolworths gift card from a Woolworths Group partner portal using your Vanilla Visa gift card, directly entering the gift card into the debit/credit card section will not work, because Woolworths will not process payments from prepaid Visa gift cards. However, if you check out using PayPal and choose your linked Vanilla Visa gift card as the payment source, Woolworths Group will process your order.

    Some payment gateways charge $1 pre-auth (could be other amounts as well), that temporarily lowers the card balance by a dollar and may causes the actual transaction to fail. Workaround is to pay a dollar less (or whatever the pre-auth amount is) than the available balance. Use the remaining balance to pay utilities or at supermarkets.

    • Warmachine99 on 04/12/2024 - 17:35

      Yea great advice, took me a while to figure this out the first time

  • shjames on 04/12/2024 - 11:13

    thanks for sharing and calculation.

  • jimwh on 04/12/2024 - 11:38

    can this card used in shopback?

    • Warmachine99 on 04/12/2024 - 17:35

      Yes it can. So stack the discounts.

  • BuyNow on 04/12/2024 - 11:50

    Can this still be used at coles to buy apple gift cards?

    • Warmachine99 on 04/12/2024 - 17:36

    • webtherapist on 04/12/2024 - 12:12

      used to work, not sure about now, u just add it as a new main payment but using too many will flag them to lock your account temporarily

      Yep. I used one to buy a category choice gift card last month and worked perfectly fine.

    • Phirewall on 08/12/2024 - 14:06

    I had no issues this morning with plenty of stock in store and could purchase via self service check out no issues with a special card.

    • cloudy on 04/12/2024 - 14:19

      Did you split payment to pay using special card? Or you happened to have over $500 on the special card?

      • henrus on 04/12/2024 - 14:33

        Got a variable so could load just under by subtracting the card fee (but a whole dollar value) means I know have 5c on the special.

      • foxes28 on 04/12/2024 - 16:38

        If it helps, I bought 2 cards this morning in different transaction. Each was paid with split payment (Special GC from AMEX/Yello deals + normal CC)

        • cloudy on 04/12/2024 - 21:39

          I didn’t know you can split payments, very helpful thank you!

      What's a special card?

      • henrus on 04/12/2024 - 14:40
        +3

        Special is a gift card that has a woolies branded version, it loads into Apple Pay and used like a normal Mastercard so unlike wish gift card it can be used to purchase other gift cards. Many banks also have 10% Cashback (for example Amex recently had $20 cashback on $200 spend and CBA $10 on a $100 spend).

    • browser on 05/12/2024 - 10:17

          For future reference, you shouldn't use Google to find the balance check website for a gift card as there's a higher chance of you entering your details into a scam website. Always refer to what is printed on the gift card itself or listed in the offer terms and conditions.

      Yes, I just paid, and it works! The ATO is happy now. You'll need to enter $498.01 plus a $1.99 service fee (0.4%) auto-applied, making it a total payment of $500 per card.

      • Save 50 Cent on 04/12/2024 - 16:38

  • leiiv on 04/12/2024 - 17:35

    Did anyone try to buy more than two today? Is the limit enforced by the system?

    • Warmachine99 on 04/12/2024 - 17:39

      I think it's limited by the system on the number of points per day you can receive

    • Tommyaka on 06/12/2024 - 18:42

      You can buy as many as you want mate, but you're only going to get points for 2 of them per day.

    Has anyone tried buying 2 of the regular $500 and 2 of the Birthday $500 in one day? Does it still give you points for both transactions like it did last time?

            • Chatgpttrue on 05/12/2024 - 18:43

              @homersyd: Did you do this in one transaction or two separate transactions?

              If you did the latter, did you scan your Everyday Rewards card again before making the payment?

              FYI I did this today in 4 separate transactions (because the lady at self check out insisted that it needed to be done separately) and received the correct bonus points.

              • homersyd on 06/12/2024 - 09:41

                @Chatgpttrue: I did this in 2 separate transactions and yes I did tried to scan the rewards card again

            • yoyo6 on 05/12/2024 - 20:41

              @homersyd: that's disappointing but we'll be lucky to find any left at this stage

                Bought a Woolworths Gift Card through Special but couldn't go earlier until evening, wasn't planned to wait that long in between, but it shouldn't matter, still within the same day.

  • eecchhoo on 04/12/2024 - 17:42

    At the self checkout, if I am getting 2x500, is there any limit how many split payments we can do?

    • test8888 on 04/12/2024 - 20:26
      +4

      no limit, but suggest to pay one card each time due to too many approvals for 2x cards then staff may notice you :)

      • eecchhoo on 05/12/2024 - 09:27
        +1

        Ok but do they normally need require staff assistance for each card activation? So we need to fully paid each one first?
        If that’s the case we can’t put 2 cards into one staff assistance. Does it sounds right?

        • test8888 on 05/12/2024 - 22:37

          from my exp, one card would need 2x times staff login. when comes 2x cards since amount over 1k, extra approval triggered.
          then after 1st split pay, I selected to pay in full the login screen popped up again. so about 6-7 times to bother staff. (if payment failed, another checking)

          assistant looked at my other 2x cards said "can u go counter to pay"…

          • eecchhoo on 06/12/2024 - 13:05
            +1

            @test8888: lol 😝
            Ok tested this morning for each card need 2 assistance, first after entering the amount to load to card and second when confirm to pay and then we can choose split payments options.
            I didn’t combined 2 cards, but I suspect if we want to combine 2 cards into a single transaction, it requires 2 staff sighting assistance and 1 assistance for payment.
            But all good today got 2 cards.

    Bought 4 cards tonight… came home and used first card immediately without issues. 2nd card opened - 9th-12th digit had been scratched off. 3 digit CVV had been scratched off. Opened 3rd and 4th card - same issue. This is bad! Seek refund/replacement from Woolies or Vanilla/Heritage & People's Choice?

    • 1d0ntkn0w on 04/12/2024 - 22:58

      That sucks… Which woolies did you buy them from? Also was they any noticeable tampering on the packaging?

        So you cant use it. And they have time to check if cards have been activated and then use it before you can.

        Woolies and coles should just keep these at the service counter.

        • lilkid28 on 05/12/2024 - 11:23

          Yes they should keep at service counter.

  • foxes28 on 05/12/2024 - 08:42

    Hey @WookieMonster - this card doesn't seem to have the option to set PIN unlike Vanilla Mastercard. Do you know if it will work at places where they ask for PIN? E.g. last time I tried using Vanilla MC at Aldi, it asked for PIN and when I just pressed enter, it declined the transaction (I hadn't set up the PIN at that point).

    • Uncle Roger on 05/12/2024 - 08:54

      No, you can't set a pin, will decline if you enter pin. You need to just press the green button if it asks for a pin… Good luck

  • mmd on 05/12/2024 - 10:58

      Doesn't matter if you try to use it ASAP.

      I guess I'll be cutting these cards on the spot to see if the cards are still good. Then pay for it.

    • bravemeow on 05/12/2024 - 11:34

        It's not an issue unless someone has compromised the cards, seen the card numbers and scratched some numbers off.
