    • Thanks, that seems to have worked for me too

    • I’m loving the little easter eggs. This is a great little riddle game. Great value for $50 haha

    • THANK YOU!

    • This initially worked, now it says “status changed from AC to II”

      • Yep mines gone inactive again… We are heading to the GC this weekend so they better have all these issues solved by then.

      • Too bad, you should have used it up as soon as it became active.

        • Not possible when so many places require a phone call to book/close early..

      • +1

        Mine is in this status (AC to II), with a 'Contact is to resolve' message.

        I am hoping they just fix it up, otherwise actually calling them up is going to be stuck of a call queue for a long time.

    “ Hi Mark,

    Due to a technical issue with the card supplier, both the purchase and use of LOVE GC Cards are temporarily paused.

    Please know that we're working closely with them to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

    Restoring the program is our top priority and we sincerely apologise for the disruption you've experienced.

    We'll provide further updates as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

      got the same SMS today, was planning to use it tomorrow. What a crap program!

    • Gee you really get what you paid for in this promo, better get sorted. Revoking my vote now

  • Seems to be working now - can purchase a card finally.

  • They use EML Payments, which explains why the program is so crap.

  • Love GC… More like Hate GC now.
    Stupid thing still won't work

  • Bought it 24 hours ago and still waiting for the gift card…

    • Finally received the giftcard after 48 hours.

  • No double dipping with the Dreamworld voucher offer for this green Love GC gift card. Got my Dreamworld voucher but was waiting for this gift card for almost 2 days. Rep on phone confirmed only one gift card or Dreamworld voucher per person. Funds will be refunded in around 5 days. Need different phone number and email addresses.

We experienced some issues with our online system but please be assured we are working to process the information you need as quickly as possible and anticipate you will have everything required to activate your Card shortly.

  • just got SMS, but i bought one under kid's account that does not allow Google Wallet, any ideas?

    • +2

      Use your phone login to the app. add the card to your google wallet.

  • No authentication is working still

  • same hopeless
    no verification still

  • Went to card dispute, about 2 hours later all vouchers come via SMS!

  • Still can't get verification code here…

    • my partner got a second text message from them and can no get the verification code. Had to email back a couple times

  • Still no verification code. Wouldn't recommend

  • Finally got the verification working by emailing them twice through the help email option, they did it manually

  • It’s working now! Just got the verification code.

  • Can you have two cards in same Apple wallet for partners?

    • +1

      should not be a problem

  • +5

    this card is useless, finally got it and still can't use it. getting an error code payway capture do not honour, 05 at one of the listed venue

    • +1

      Well that is frustrating…

    • finally was able to use it. a bit frustrating as apple pay still would not work, but putting in the card number finally worked today. They must have fixed something. Glad I was finally able to use it and not in a time crunch.

  • +1

    Had no issues using it at crowne
    Edit: nevermind, just got declined?

    • +2

      Your comment is very interesting, how can it worked first and got declined later?

      • Turns out they had a temporary stand that was external to the hotel, had no issues using it at the restauraunt inside.

  • +1

    This should be interesting - brought the cards 4 hours ago and everything has been relatively seamless so far. Will be using it at dreamworld so let’s see if I get declined too.

    • Try it for in-park purchases and let us know! Cheers!

      • +2

        Got declined - tried to buy an ice cream at dreamworld and didn’t work.

        • +1

          Got the confirmation that you can’t use it for on park purchases - only for the dreamworld pass.

          • +2

            @RalphEddie: What confirmation? This directly contradicts the advice I got via Direct Message from them.

            • +1

              @JordanM: They changed the T&C and said Dreamworld don’t want it to be used for anything other than the passes. This is different to the village parks.

            • +1

              @JordanM: I have followed this up directly with the park, Love GC Mastercard's cannot be used with them at all anymore
              .

              • @JordanM: I have tested and apparently Dreamworld has a very large assortment of POSes with multiple names and MCCs, even if they want to make it work it would be extremely difficult. You even get machines programmed with Whitewater world entry in Dreamworld.

              • @JordanM: Btw if you don't want your card, I know that @windows7 would like to buy some. Maybe you can DM him.

  • +1

    I'd be interested to hear which businesses people have been successful at using this at, other than the theme park entry tickets.

    • +4

      Ended up using this at Timezone successfully. Equated to $50 for $200 worth of credits.

  • +1

    Didn't work at the bars in the the star gc casino.

  • +5

    Anyone manage to use the card at the The Star for Harvest buffet?

    Got the card in my apple wallet after jumping through all the hoops and have made a Harvest booking for Thurs using the ref in reservation. Can report back

    • +2

      I am going to use the gift card at Harvest Buffet next week. Please share your experience if it works! Thanks!

      • +3

        Confirming all ok. Paid for the 2 adults portion via GC card and kids via other cc

    • How did you go?

      • +2

        Yes it worked! 👍

        • +1

          Was it $50 in total for 2 people after all the discounts using the Love GC?

          • +2

            @Hellcrusher3304: Correct. It was $139 for 2 adults 2 children, so really only $89 after the freebie $50

            • @chriskq: When we went there the cashier tried to charge us under love gc offer before we told them the kids eat free is cheaper lol.

          • @Hellcrusher3304: If you have kids, remember to compare the love gc offer and the kid-eats-free offer to see which one works out to be better for you. For 2A 2C, the kid-eats-free works out to be $10 cheaper than the love gc offer.

            • @truetypezk: I am somewhat confused. Isn't this just a prepaid credit card?

              Is this considered an offer? So it does not stack with any other offers like kids eat free or entertainment book?

              • +1

                @Summoner: Yes and yes and no.
                It is both a payment method and comes with the 2 adults for $99 offer. You can choose not to use it though.

                • @truetypezk: Thank you for the clarification. I did not know they had special offer for lovegc giftcard.

                  If anyone else is wondering, the details of the offer is below.

                  Harvest Buffet

                  Harvest Buffet 2 for $99

                  Enjoy dinner Monday-Thursday or a weekend lunch for just $99 for 2 people.

                  HOW TO BOOK

                  Book online, reference LoveGC deal and use LoveGC card to pay in person.​

                  Lunch Saturday - Sunday, Dinner Monday - Thursday. Valid until 30 June 2025. $99 for 2 limited to food and beverage included in the Harvest Buffet menu and excludes acloholic beverages (availablel for purchase separately.) 

                  • @Summoner: If you have entertainment book the buy one get one free offer is definitely better. Just pay with the Love GC card, you dont even need to tell them about it. But if you have kids you wont be able to combine any two offers.

  • +1

    Tried to use it at both Wet N Wild and Movie World in-park shops, declined both times. Ended up going to Timezone and loading up $200 credit.

  • +2

    Just used it this weekend up at Surfers for Seaworld. I enjoyed my time, but dang they know how to charge lol.

  • Curious if anyone has had any luck making purchases that didn't include the specific deal advertised?

    "Your LOVE GC Card can be redeemed on the deals offered by the following participating businesses, and cannot be redeemed on any other service or offering at that business" https://experiencegoldcoast.com/love-gc-deals/participating-…

    • +2

      They added that term a bit later down the road and nobody really cared in my experience. However the cards dont work at quite a number of places they are supposed to work. I have posted an ad in the classified section selling my extra cards and listed some places I have tried.

      • What retailers did you use your gift cards at?

        • +1

          So far:

          Some of the confirmed working places include Timezone ($50 for $200), dreamworld passes, the harvest buffet at the star, Jet Ski Safari, paradise resorts online activities/kids club bookings.

          Confirmed duds: bars at the Star, in store spendings at the Paradise Resorts (you can show the card for a 15% dining discount though), GC Jetboat and parasail, Go Ballooning

        • +2

          To be fair the tour operators did say they are trying to resolve the issue with new POS terminals as Love GC cant uniquely identify their square terminals. So at least all operators relying on square terminals are likely to fail at the moment.

          As for the Paradise Resort, probably just a plain IT failure as the cards worked for online activities/kid club booking but not anywhere inside the resort tapped on mobile wallet.

        • +4

          Just an update for the benefit of the community:

          Confirmed working places:
          Timezone ($50 for $200), Dreamworld online passes, the harvest buffet at the star, Jet Ski Safari, Paradise Resorts online activities/kids club bookings, restaurants (I tried chapter&verse and Citrique) at JW Marriott. GC Jetboat and parasail (they have already obtained a new POS), village roadshow's special online booking portal.

          Confirmed duds:
          Various bars at the Star, in store spendings at the Paradise Resorts (you can show the card for a 15% dining discount though), Go Ballooning, Anywhere in the Skypoint, Anywhere in Dreamworld/Whitewater world, front desk at the JW Marriott for room/parking/incidental charges.

          Now the cards are OOS I think the Ozb members should be able to use the classified to get rid of their cards pretty easily if they didn't work at your intended place. Will be easier and more beneficial to the community than pursuing a refund from Love GC as well.

          • @truetypezk: When did you purchase a DW pass online? It looks like they have now blocked the cards from being used at DW whatsoever.

            • @JordanM: I am talking about the $100 love dreamworld pass, not other passes.
              None of the add on passes (like express n etc) works.
              Effectively dreamworld is not even on the list =D

              • @truetypezk: Can't even be used for that anymore, the $100 LoveGC mastercard cannot be used at DW whatsoever now.

                https://www.dreamworld.com.au/love-gc-offers/ has been updated

                • @JordanM: I see, that would be a shame. I got mine at the beginning of the deal and it worked fine on the portal.

                  I would say DW is still really quiet even with the deal on so I dont really see why they would want to pull it. There was hardly any lines at the big kids attractions last week, but the family rides were quite busy (still reasonable though)

                • @JordanM: Btw you can also use the $100 Love Dreamworld pass to obtain the 10% annual pass holder discounts and buy other passholder special items. They may not scan properly sometimes but the staffs can manually apply it. Maybe it was not actually programmed as an annual pass in the system but I never got rejected when using it for passholder discounts.

                  • @truetypezk: That would be a staff training issue, definitely not supposed to be able to get passholder 10% discount with the LoveGC pass.

                    • @JordanM: Actually I am not sure, it scans up perfectly fine at Skypoint for the 10% dining discount and souvenir shop. It didn't work that much inside dreamworld, but the staff manually applied the discount every time without talking too much.

  • Keen to purchase one from someone if you’re selling today.
    FYI they work for food at paradise gc but you need to tell them to take the 15% off and you can only order on one specific register.

  • End up $500 LGC at Harvest buffet and Escape room at Gold Coast after few unsuccessful taped somewhere. Not worth at all!!!

  • Anyone successfully spent it at the STAR at GC for the buffet? Above states not working at their bar (unsure if that includes their buffet as I’ve never been)

    • It works at the harvest buffet.

      • Thanks!🙏

      • Successfully redeemed at Harvest Buffet - highly recommended.
