      • Bargain2020 on 25/07/2025 - 11:10

        Wondering what happens if you haven’t got sufficient funds on your Restaurant Choice GC. Does it then default to another card in your profile? Will it use the funds on your GC first. And then balance on another payment method.

        • Davelovesdealz on 25/07/2025 - 11:14

          This would be the answer to all our problems if it worked!! Like everyday pay used to work in woolies,,,,

          sorry never tried this but this is interesting!
          But I reckon the payment would fail as the linked card doesn’t have sufficient funds.
          I don’t think it’s that smart to split the payment and use another card.

    • petestrash on 28/07/2025 - 10:42

      It seems like a lot, but have you actually considered what it costs to run any sort of store in Australia?

      The price you pay for any item also has to offset the fixed costs like, rent, fitout, loan payments, repairs, public liability insurance, Workers Compensation insurance, marketing, wages (including all the other wages related costs like superannuation, sick leave, long service leave, paid holidays, paid maternity leave, etc), security services, software, accounting, legal cost, council fees, Electricity, Gas, Water, Sewerage, refuse disposal, grease trap cleaning, Cleaning, tax, depreciation, licences, permits, equipment leases, kitchen utensils, customer service equipment, IT equipment, Internet, etc, etc.

      This is well before you look at the cost of ingredients and packaging materials, etc that varies between products sold.

      In your case, most decent cafes would not use tip top for their Rasin toast, and would likely pay more for their bread than you could at a supermarket, and delivery is not free.

      But the ingredient costs for this product makes up only a tiny portion of the cost for providing you with a couple of slices of toast.

      In a cafe overall, fixed costs normally run around 40%, and variable costs 30%, leaving around a 30% gross margin before tax.

      So yes, you were ripped off. The cafe made around $1.80 on average before tax from your $6 toast.

      If you want to save money make it yourself and sit at home where you are already paying your own fixed and variable costs, your time to buy the bread and butter, costs in getting to the shops to buy the bread and butter (or delivery), cost of bread and butter, cost of the plate and utensils, cost of the toaster, fridge, Kitchen, Chair and table to sit at, electricity, rent/mortgage, council rates, home insurance, internet for your "Free" cafe style WIFI, etc.

      Yep, that toast only cost you a few cents.

      • SydBoy on 28/07/2025 - 18:13

        You said "including all the other wages related costs like superannuation, sick leave, long service leave, paid holidays, paid maternity leave, etc" are correct for Woolworths opening cafe not for an Asian or middle eastern or Australian doing cash in hand business with their staff (mostly migrant).. !

        So while every business has overhead not just cafe owner, to claim that's the reason is outrageous.

        Second and importantly sure as an owner they can charge $20 for raisin toast or charge cost plus margin is their choice but the cafe who used to charge $3 before COVID now demanding $6 is asking 100% increase is nothing but impact their own business and keeping customers away.

        Nevertheless, if I can't afford I don't buy.

              • YesPleaseThankYou on 26/07/2025 - 13:11

                @bcYield: Amazing stuff here.

                If someone has submitted false information at the time of registering the card, then if there's an issue or dispute requiring you to submit identification that matches the false information, where are you going to find ID that matches the initially submitted fake ID?

                Who do you think issues these cards? They are part of the Australian banking system. You rightly might be asked for ID in resolving any dispute, particularly a tricky one.

                • bcYield on 26/07/2025 - 13:35

                  @YesPleaseThankYou: I know I been through it before. Google banned me from adding too many GCs to the wallet before. I refused to send my ID. Ended up deleting that payment profile and creating a new one. Never had any issues after.

      Most don't. In my experience McDonalds will allow you to pay part of your order with card and then the rest with cash, they wouldn't let me use two cards. I don't know if that was the particular McDonalds I was at or all of them.

      if you go to a pub or a club for a meal ask them….they might use the gift card first and then the rest might have to be cash….from the few times I have done it….just have to take into account any possible fee to use the card…i.e. might have 0.6% or 1% on top for using it

        Apparently ribs and burgers etc (big corporate fast food places) are happy to do split payments at quiet times with no surcharge. The holy grail is an app I can load any amount of credit to and spend at my leisure. I found one that allows round numbers of dollars to be added but nothing that allows me to add exactly 5.78…..

        • igorekh on 25/07/2025 - 11:20

          Subway giftcard let's you but that is ending soon. Just did it a few days back

    • littlesoldier on 25/07/2025 - 11:22

      saw from other comments that Grill'd allows split payments (haven't tried myself)
      A local cafe near me does allow split payment as they just manually key in the amount in the Eftpos machine
      then use the calculator to get the remaining balance

      But I will normally try not to use more than 2 payments per transactions as its quite time consuming for a busy restaurant / cafe
      Besides, I try to keep giftcards to have at least $10 balance and finish it all in one go

      • zooter on 25/07/2025 - 14:35

        i have some good luck in using topping up a subcard (needs to be above $10) and then using it later in subway…there should be more places like this where you can topup using this card and then use it later

        The restaurant near my house allows split payment as I know them and I get rid of small balances like that…the Maccas near my place did not allow split payment, they said, they can only do that on a per item basis

    • arcticmonkey on 25/07/2025 - 14:35
      +1

      Another problem with this is the damn card fees. That makes it harder to use any remaining balance even if it was allowed.

      I keep leaving money on the table with the restaurant choice card which eats into any savings

    • unity1 on 25/07/2025 - 15:25

      Makes it hard to use every last cent because so many places charge the card fee and there's no way to tell which ones do and don't.

      For KFC, this recent conversation in another Restaurant Choice gift card deal suggests:

      In-Store or via app? Directly using the card Apple Pay Google Pay Samsung Pay
      In-Store Yes Yes Yes Yes
      App No Yes No No
      • souths123 on 25/07/2025 - 12:03

        sounds like they, RC or payment platforms, are slowly squeezing this sort of payment type out for certain payments etc…foodhub is another example where it is invalid now

        • WookieMonster on 25/07/2025 - 12:09
          +3

          I was editing the comment to indicate reasons I think most of the payment options via the app are failing, but I cannot publish that edit anymore.

          If you were wondering what I think:

          Directly using the card Apple Pay Google Pay Samsung Pay
          No1 Yes No2 No3

          1. It appears that the KFC app rejects any Visa cards that do not support 3-D Secure, due to security/fraud concerns. The Restaurant Choice gift cards in this deal operate on the Visa network and are unable to support 3-D Secure. ↩

          2. It appears that Restaurant Choice gift cards on Google Pay do not support online transactions, due to the inability to verify the card information on Google Pay. (7-Eleven digital gift cards have the same issue, so I wonder whether this is a restriction set by Blackhawk Network - the gift card product owner for both these gift cards.) ↩

          3. The KFC website does not list Samsung Pay as an accepted payment method for their app (or website). It is very unusual to see Samsung Pay support online payments. ↩

Not sure. Black Friday sale, I got $500 then as I hadn't used them all that much before that so was a bit wary. ….went towards a combined birthday lunch in Sydney for my two adult kids and their partners.10% is the best you will get these days….better than nothing.

      It depends on the type of gift card you have.

      • If you have a digital gift card, you can only use https://www.cardbalance.com.au (or call the relevant support phone number). If you get an error message immediately after submitting the card details on the card balance website, refresh the page. It should trigger the puzzle you may need to complete in order to pass the bot check. Also, make sure any VPNs are turned off when using this website.

      • If you have a physical gift card, you can use https://www.myprepaidcentre.com.au (and use the PCN), https://www.cardbalance.com.au/ or call the relevant support phone number.

    Just a thought. I wonder whether Restaurant Choice has a responsibility to the consumer to enable the ability to consolidate balances on GC’s owned by the same person.
    They must realise they have outstanding balances on thousands of GC’s.

    • capslock on 25/07/2025 - 11:31

      That is their business model. The unused balances is their profit which is how they can offer these 10% discounts.

    • littlesoldier on 25/07/2025 - 11:33

      Just tested it for my upcoming stay at ibis through online payment and it worked!

        Stonks, was it charged now or pay at hotel?

        • Ryannnnnn on 26/07/2025 - 12:38

          It was charged immediately when making the online booking. No need to pay again at hotel

            @Ryannnnnn: Definitely works online too then, sweet. Wasn’t sure because the online payments are a completely different payment gateway and show differently on statements

            Difficult part is using $250 at a time then though… If it was 1,000 limit like last time would be better.

            p.s cash rewards has 6% cashback and it’s technically not a gift card so would be 100% eligible. From memory gift cards still are eligible but depends which cashback site

              Phone the hotel or customer service and make a phone payment - easy if it's one of the large brands hotels.

                @YesPleaseThankYou: I usually use Accor plus red hot deals, difficult to process over the phone. Depends if you get a staff member who knows how to do it or not

                  I've never had such a difficulty.

                  It's pretty basic stuff.

              @Dyl: Yeah I wasn’t sure about the online payment thing either, but it just went through with no issues at all.

              I actually stacked it with shopback’s 2.5%, but the cashback is showing $0 on the statement. Not sure why… Maybe an Ibis booking is ineligible. I’m pretty sure these visa/mastercard prepaid gift cards are treated as credit cards. It worked before when I used it at another online merchant.
