    After getting scammed for $400 and spending hours on apple support to reclaim the lost credit, I would highly not recommend anyone doing this deal.

    • GaelicAU on 11/04/2025 - 09:50

      I'm thinking same. Seems to be a fair bit of risk with purchasing physical cards currently - and potential time invested trying to recoup issues involved.

    • ryanhunt on 11/04/2025 - 09:54

      100% agree. Until there's some material changes to these cards and/or the way they're sold (i.e. kept behind a counter) I believe this is not a deal, and not worth the pain/risk.

      • bdl on 11/04/2025 - 10:05

        Even being kept behind the counter didn't help with the Coles deal last week - the store I go to opens and checks them as you buy them and one of the five $200 failed on activation and looked like it had been tampered with, even though they kept them behind the counter.

        The staff mentioned that they had suspicions that other staff members were tampering with them because they still had this issue after moving them from the public retail area to behind the counter.

        • muckingfuppet on 11/04/2025 - 10:43
          +2

          My one had no signs of tampering, which is the craziest part. Until I got to the activation code and the font looked off.

      Sorry you got scammed, but I disagree.

      I said this on the other post while it was on going, adding it here as so many from those posts commented with issues:

      My advice to anyone reading this prior to your purchase is to:
      1. Always buy them at a counter in front of staff
      2. Make sure politely advise them of the situation
      3. Ask to open them prior to actually paying for the cards (the cards are worthless until the payment goes through and card activated)
      4. Double check the serial number on the inside matches the outside (again, prior to payment!)
      5. Serial numbers match? Cool, scan ER card and make payment.

      Optional, but in my opinion worth it:
      6. Add to Apple account immediately.

      • muckingfuppet on 11/04/2025 - 10:42
        +5

        The serial number inside matched the outside. It was just the activation code that had been modified.

        So that method doesn't work.

        I added to apple account immediately, and 2/5 of my cards didn't work.

    • dollarandcents on 11/04/2025 - 10:38

      I got scammed out of 350$ on a variable load gift card from the Coles promotion last week. Coles washed their hands off and hand balled me over to Apple, still waiting on resolution. Were you able to get the credit back to your account? If they can't / don't what are my options ?

      • Seven8Nine on 11/04/2025 - 18:02

        I had this issue with coles last year, same day I spoke to the person who was flogging me off to the Apple, I requested for the supervisor and told him that I want to buy more and he must process the sale and I will open the card in front of him.

        I bought $100 and $200 card, upon opening there was a $50 and $ 100 card inside.
        He immediately acted on it, requested other cards to be removed and issued me refund of all purchases.

      You’re not wrong but for what it’s worth, I’ve studied this scam extensively and I’ve yet to see an example of a tampered Apple gift card that couldn’t have been identified by opening it up and checking it. This guide I made shows you how to do this for both versions of physical Apple gift cards.

      This is the only reason why I still feel comfortable buying these gift cards and recommending the offers on them.

      spending hours on apple support to reclaim the lost credit

      Whilst Apple support can help, contacting Woolworths Gift Cards customer care seems to be the most reliable method based on all the accounts I’ve seen. After you send them proof of your purchase and the tampering they should refund you in full.

      • muckingfuppet on 11/04/2025 - 12:06
        +3

        This is a good guide, but incomplete.

        The gift card I had, included all the numbers/letters. Even the apple store staff couldn't spot it until we looked extremely carefully and the Q's dash was not as obvious as the stock card, and the kerning was slightly off.

        Happy to send some photos to show you in dm's :)

        I do agree, that peeling the activation code back is the only failsafe, and only if you're confident at spotting those differences. It feels like a fair bit of hassle for the equivalent of 10% discount.

        • AssociatedVantageXL @ FreePoints on 11/04/2025 - 12:09

    After spend weeks waiting for the available iphone unit to get delivered as I missed the preorder, I would highly not recommend anyone doing this deal if you missed the preorder.

  • GaelicAU on 11/04/2025 - 09:52

    I guess with this type of promo where Woolies are offering points vs direct discount, we are unlikely to see a straight 10% off for Apple giftcards in the future.

    seems like a lot of people don't realise the new security measure. all mine worked.

    you have to give them to woolies employee, they rip open the package then scan. you know if it has been tampered with.
    now its harder to get scammed now since it isn't an exposed barcode like before. i got $2000 worth last time, zero issues. i will get another 2k worth and update you.

    • Azro on 11/04/2025 - 11:10

      I think some people reported the new design cards been tampered as well.

    • ujwols on 11/04/2025 - 12:52

      u just got lucky mate, I got the new version only to find 14 digit , 2 digit were missing

      • dollarandcents on 13/04/2025 - 13:55

        Yea same, I also got scammed with the version 2 cards. One had 3 digits missing and the other had 2 missing.

  • pokeutopia on 11/04/2025 - 14:14

    Is this deal still available in store?

  • OzYY on 11/04/2025 - 15:24
    +2

    I saw a man trying to open a pack before purchasing it in front of the cashier, and a staff member yelled at him for checking the card. He looked very embarrassed.

    It was clear that the staff had received no proper training. This issue is unlikely to be resolved unless there is a way to confirm that the card has not been tampered with before payment.

  • jeongjoon on 11/04/2025 - 17:28

    So as I understood not to be scammed. Calling the staff before the purchase and asking them to check the number is matched before purchase the giftcard. And redeem the code right away there right? What if they check the number and they are matched but code is somehow tampered, so I can't redeem it in front of staff. Will they resolve the issue there like refund the money or they transfer me to the apple service?

    • liz1234 on 12/04/2025 - 17:20

      I wouldn’t recommend purchasing them. I followed the methods above and still ended up getting scammed.

      My giftcards looked fine until I went to scratch it and the last two to three digits were unreadable. Everything else looked fine prior to scratching.

      I am still dealing with both Woolworths and Apple at the moment.

  • AsukaST on 14/04/2025 - 11:29

    Reading from all comments above , how do scammers manage to replace the physical gift card inside without actually opening it?
    Or do they print those fake cards with fake packaging by themself and put them on the rack?

    • Azro on 24/04/2025 - 17:11

      I wrote a thread about it here where I assume that the printing facility is involved in this. New design cards being also tampered is another prove to that.

  • Zippy7 on 14/04/2025 - 20:26

    Sad. I wonder if the variable load ones would be more secure given there is no specific initial value?

    • liz1234 on 15/04/2025 - 20:09

      I purchased the variable gift cards during the last promotion. All four gift cards had issues with them as well.

  • Linh-MIB on 16/04/2025 - 08:39

    I wanted to share a frustrating experience I had with variable gift cards. Twice, I purchased cards with odd amounts (like $115 or $112), and they were invalid. It turns out you should always round to the nearest ten. Even Apple didn't recognize this as a problem. Save yourself the trouble and buy in increments of $10.

    • dunc on 16/04/2025 - 09:24

      I just bought 1 with $275.40 and it worked no issues when using directly on the apple AOC website.

      Not sure how scammers work? But the cards were not hanging on the shelf, with the rest of the giftcards, it was under the counter in the service desk.

      • Linh-MIB on 16/04/2025 - 09:41

        Thanks for sharing. Perhaps they've resolved the issue with the newer cards or I just had bad luck last time.

  • Kirby102 on 16/04/2025 - 11:12

    Just checked at Liverpool Woolworths (NSW), doesn’t seem like they restocked, but there was a random pile (of about 10) on the bottom of the shelf with mixed denominations ($20-$200, and also the variable ones).

    I took one to buy ($500) and before they scanned it at the register to activate it, they opened it up to check if they have been tampered/damaged - which was a nice touch.

    The one I wanted to buy had the code damaged (missing characters) in the middle of the code. Tried another, again - same issue.

    Opened all of them there and it turns out all of them had been damaged like this. One of them you can already tell since the seal glue residue is showing behind the seal, not aligned properly.

    Anyway, so that was my experience. The main takeaway here is that if you are intending to buy and use for yourself - open it before buying.

    Just bought $700 (3 x $200, 1 x $100) worth at Newcastle. Opened prior to purchase with cashier who was fine with that.
    All looked ok and added without issue to my Apple account.

    Would like to share my wws experience of purchasing GC today.

    TLDR GC serial damage still happens - even for v2 cards. Redeem it when you are still in store in case needs help.

    After I purchased and made payment, cashier redirected me to store manager and explained me into details about what’s happening and recommend me to redeem onsite in case any further problems. Also shows me an example of broken GC they got from this morning. I redeemed mine without issue. But really surprised with all these protections (v2 card looks super safe to me from design perspective) this still happens.

    W wws for customer service. L 💩 people doing this.

    Here is my experience from buying gift cards today.

    This was my first time buying them, and I purchased three $500 and one $50 gift card. They were v2 cards, I inspected the packaging, and they all looked fine. As soon as I paid, I opened them to take a look at the codes (I highly recommend doing this before you pay if possible), and two of the $500 cards had the first two digits scratched out. They weren't able to help me onsite, I was just given a phone number to call. I ended up being quite lucky in the end, because I could kind of make out the letters that were scratched out. I was trying different combinations and after like 20 minutes, I did manage to redeem both gift cards. So yeah, I don't think I will ever try to buy them again.

    As other people are saying, open the cards before you pay for them and check the code!

    • stibbzy on 16/04/2025 - 16:10
      +1

      100% I wouldn’t purchase them prior to opening and inspecting. The cashier today was more than happy for me to do that.

  • HowBoutThat on 16/04/2025 - 17:05
    +3

    Definitely 100% open the packet and pull the card out to check the pin number before you pay for it and before you leave the counter. I bought 4 today and one of them had the cover already peeled off and last 2 digits scratched. The packaging was perfect - I don't know how they do it. Luckily I got onto Apple support and they sorted it out within 10 mins.

  • Binggggo on 17/04/2025 - 06:34

    I wonder what the point of people scratching out letters is if they’re still valid (as per the person above who could still just work out what the code was, and successfully registered it)? Is it just to be annoying?

    • heeatseggs on 22/04/2025 - 17:07

      I'm guessing it is so the buyer can't read them and has to contact Apple for support. In the meantime, the scammer redeems the activated code.

  • Gupp on 17/04/2025 - 20:55

    Just a warning for others from my personal experience. Having bought a bunch of the older gift cards that had tampering issues and never having any problems. All my trouble starts with the new tamper proof ones. Tonight’s batch (multiple in a row from 1 shop so not a 1 off card) have an issue with the glue where it dries hard and when you peel back the security guard it actually rips off part of the code. I’ve just spend I kid you not the past 3 hours with apple support going around in circles taking pictures like a clown. For them to now tell me it’s being escalated and will take up to 10 days for a resolution.

    If this happens to you make sure you don’t throw away the outer case or receipt that prints from the terminal because if any of that is missing your screwed.

  • Toolousy on 21/04/2025 - 15:31

    Same here today. Two V2 cards both with several code digits missing when we peeled off the grey covers. Apple support wanted 4 photos and 10 working days to decide. Never again.

    • liz1234 on 25/04/2025 - 21:39

      Would suggest reaching out directly to the Woolies team immediately. Apple took forever to respond to me and the Woolies team offered to me to go in store and get a refund.

  • Classical on 21/04/2025 - 17:28

    Doncaster Woolworths kept them behind the counter and had no issue redeeming it.

  • financialminimalism on 21/04/2025 - 21:51

    Just purchased 2x $300 from Spotswood VIC Woolies.
    Woolies team there were great. I explained I was concerned of the scams and they allowed me to open both cards and inspect the codes before purchasing.
    Thankfully too, as one of the two cards I picked up was a scam - all the numbers were missing.
    I swapped over with another card and then loaded them onto my account with the team member before leaving.
    Thanks for your guides on how to spot it.
