    Please note the following:

    • Binge/Kayo is currently in the process of being offboarded from the Ultimate gift card scheme (and this started on Tuesday). Ultimate Him gift cards can continue to be exchanged for Binge/Kayo gift cards until a FAQ is posted on the Ultimate gift card website saying Binge/Kayo is no longer a partner. I have no idea when this will happen, so if you want Binge/Kayo, exchange ASAP.

    • The Body Shop was added to the Ultimate Students gift card on Monday. Any Ultimate Students gift cards will now work at The Body Shop (even if they do not have The Body Shop logo on the physical packaging).

  • happydude on 21/08/2025 - 00:24

    Does anything stop this TimeZone deal from stacking?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/920515

    • Ratch on 21/08/2025 - 00:39

      no, go crazy!

      • happydude on 23/08/2025 - 18:41

        Promo doesn't seem to allow gift cards through the app.

        That was a waste.

        • PKDMO on 25/08/2025 - 12:34

          you have to go to a venue to use gift cards

    • kslcom on 21/08/2025 - 00:30

      thanks OP

  • Link-Xia on 21/08/2025 - 04:11

    Any quantity limit of Ultimate Gift Card?

  • n4rut0 on 21/08/2025 - 08:19

    Can you stack the ultimate gift cards multiple times to use in store? Never used them before

    • WookieMonster on 21/08/2025 - 09:21

      It depends on the participating retailer you have in mind, because it depends on:

      • Whether the participating retailer accepts Ultimate gift cards in-store (and not all do), and

      • Whether the participating retailer can accept multiple Visa cards in one transaction (as the Ultimate gift cards pictured in this deal run on the Visa network).

      For example:

      • JB Hi-Fi appears to have no redemption limit for EFTPOS payment cards coded into their checkouts for one transaction. The OzBargain record is 99.

      • The Good Guys appears to have no redemption limit for EFTPOS payment cards coded into their checkouts for one transaction. The OzBargain record is 100.

      • Officeworks appears to have no redemption limit for EFTPOS payment cards coded into their checkouts for one transaction. The OzBargain record is 50.

      • 99 Bikes appears to have no redemption limit for EFTPOS payment cards coded into their checkouts for one transaction. The OzBargain record is 53.

      • IKEA appears to have no redemption limit for EFTPOS payment cards coded into their checkouts for one transaction. However, if you are a self checkout, you will need to ask a staff member for assistance to do this (because the staff member needs to have the checkout in an assist mode before you can redeem a specific amount from a Visa card). The OzBargain record is 24.

      (All the information I have provided so far is taken from the FAQ linked at the bottom of the deal description.)

      • HOYTS will not accept Ultimate gift cards in-store at their cinemas (or on their website), as HOYTS is an exchange-only partner. That means if you want to use your Ultimate gift card at HOYTS, you need to go the Ultimate gift card website and exchange the full or partial gift card balance for a digital HOYTS gift card.
  • Kennnnnnnne on 21/08/2025 - 08:27

    Perfect timing, just about to but ikea

  • Koookies on 21/08/2025 - 08:36

    Is it better to convert to Qantas Points or EDR dollars, and by how much?

    • Pelicannn on 21/08/2025 - 09:51
      +2

      Depends if you’re using the Qantas points for flying or not. To me, 1000 Qantas points is worth far more than $10 at Woolworths.

  • bboink on 21/08/2025 - 08:36

    Can anyone confirm that the Student cards are limited to $50? Looking to grab some things from Ikea but with the 10 limit per person that'll only have me at $500

    Also, is there a limit on how many gift cards can be used at payment online?

    • Hvrd on 21/08/2025 - 09:19

      The catalogue doesn’t say 10 card limit for the ultimate card

      • bboink on 21/08/2025 - 09:21

        Awesome. Thanks!
        But the max per card is $50? Anyone know whether there's a max usage online at ikea? Or can we keep going til we run out of cards

        • WookieMonster on 21/08/2025 - 09:46
          +1

          the max per card is $50?

          The largest fixed denomination for Ultimate Students gift cards sold at multiple retailers (including BIG W) is $50.

          I am not sure whether BIG W sells a variable-load Ultimate Students gift card (where you can load up to $500), but that point is irrelevant, because the BIG W catalogue does not show a picture of it (and the catalogue is very clear only the pictured denominations are part of this deal).

          Anyone know whether there's a max usage online at ikea?

          This FAQ from the FAQ wiki page linked at the bottom of the deal description has an answer for your question.

          • skido on 21/08/2025 - 10:27

            @WookieMonster: confirming there are variable load ultimate students in BIGW but they are not part of the sale (doesn’t discount at checkout)

      • WookieMonster on 21/08/2025 - 09:38
        +2

        BIG W's checkouts will not let you purchase more than ten gift cards in one transaction.

        Whether you can purchase ten gift cards in one transaction (or more than ten gift cards across multiple transactions) will be at the discretion of staff members at the store. You never know, you may have a staff member think something fraudulent is going on if you are trying to purchase ten gift cards in one go and stop you…

    • pandaman on 21/08/2025 - 11:13

      Do you know if they're fine to be used online for Ikea? Like multiple for one purchase?

    • Hvrd on 21/08/2025 - 18:05

      In catalogue they say only $30 student offer not $50

      • snuke on 21/08/2025 - 18:30
        +2

        In store they have a page on display at the Gift Card area saying that is an error, and the $30 card doesn't exist (for Big W), it was supposed to be the $50 card.

        • Hvrd on 22/08/2025 - 08:07

          my big w the page said in error that the promo only applies to the $30 haha

          • Kennnnnnnne on 22/08/2025 - 17:57

            @Hvrd: I purchased $50 student card x 10 today with 10% off.

            • snuke on 22/08/2025 - 19:31

  • mick123 on 21/08/2025 - 20:25

    I may be spending about 2k on luxury escapes soon.

    From my understanding:

    Using 10% off HIM cards.
    I get $100 cards- I get 10 cards + wife gets 10 cards.
    Then exchange to Luxury escapes

    Or.

    Using 20x EDR points
    I get 8 X 250 or 4*500 (whatever is available) , and no need to do value exchange.

    Saving is same either way ($200 either saves up front or saved on Woolies shop).

    Can someone pls tell me my info is right. Lol

    • WookieMonster on 22/08/2025 - 09:43

      Using 10% off HIM cards.
      I get $100 cards- I get 10 cards + wife gets 10 cards.
      Then exchange to Luxury escapes

      Yep, that would work. Just make sure you purchase the Ultimate Him gift cards, not the TCN HIM gift cards.

      A word of warning though: stock will likely be difficult to find, because you will be up against people who want the Ultimate Him gift cards to use at popular retailers (e.g. JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, EB Games).

      Using 20x EDR points
      I get 8 X 250 or 4*500 (whatever is available) , and no need to do value exchange.

      Sounds about right, but just make sure you purchase ten or less gift cards on each Everyday Rewards account.

      I may be spending about 2k on luxury escapes soon.

      I am assuming you will be making two transactions on the Luxury Escapes website?

      Section 1.2h of the Luxury Escapes gift card terms says The maximum redemption value for Gift Cards not purchased directly through the Website is limited to $1,500 per order.

      (In this context, Website refers to the Luxury Escapes website.)

      I'm wondering the same thing. With Woolworths the points are near instantaneous.

      My first purchase of gift cards through Big W and although my EDR card was scanned and the transaction shows in my EDR app, the points earn shows as zero.

      I know it says up to 7 business days, but wondering whats the typical timeframe I should expect the points to be available.

      • MyMumThinksImCool on 31/08/2025 - 12:09

        7 days been and gone. Messaged them and, as you said, they pointed out it’s 7 business days (why?!). O well.

  • maxdba on 23/08/2025 - 18:26

    Bought multiple $30 Ultimate Student Gift Cards from BigW yesterday. I tried to exchange them for IKEA e-gift cards for online shopping through exchangeyourcard.com.au, but the only available options are $20, $50, $100, and $200. There is no option to redeem the full $30 value on each card, meaning $10 is left unused on each after exchanging. This is really frustrating and quite unreasonable. I couldn’t find any discussions about this issue online. Is there any possible solution besides physically redeeming the cards in an IKEA store?

    • Kennnnnnnne on 24/08/2025 - 17:00

      I just realised the same issue, the only way I can think of is if you pick up in store, use $20 ikea gift card then use $10 as credit card.

      • maxdba on 25/08/2025 - 16:16

        In-store shopping at IKEA can be tough for anyone buying a lot of heavy furniture, since you need to find everything yourself, move it to the checkout, and then arrange home delivery. I heard it might be possible to exchange Ultimate gift cards for IKEA gift card at an IKEA store, which could be a workaround. Has anyone actually done this before? Would appreciate any experiences. Thanks!

    • Aaronnnnn on 27/08/2025 - 19:34

      I also bought an Apple gift card but haven’t received points yet. Does BigW usually take this long to process? Woolworths gift cards arrive instantly.

      • 7bobas on 28/08/2025 - 14:59

        I just chatted with EDR, I should have got 500 points and messaged them and they credited me 3000 points, not complaining. Give them a message as they may give extra points (like in my case) as a "gesture of goodwill".

      • Aaronnnnn on 03/09/2025 - 15:23

        I just spoke with the Rewards customer service, and they quickly added the points to my account manually. Their service attitude was also excellent.

  • MVantastic on 27/08/2025 - 11:55

    I'm planning on buying the new iPhone. I wonder is it worth buying the apple gift cards now or are there normally better deals than potentially getting 10% off?

    Word of caution for anyone who is looking to or has purchased the One4All Ultimate Him Gift cards:

    I purchased a number of them on the weekend and tried to use them yesterday; they were all zeroed out and said that they had been redeemed.
    Yesterday was the first time I opened them. I checked that all of them appeared tamper free before I purchased them; the barcode was covered and it didn't look like they'd been opened at all.

    The gift cards themselves have card details similar to a debit card (card number on the front, which was covered, & CVV/pin on the back which was covered by the scratch thing).

    Every single one of the gift cards I purchased says that the balance was used on the same day I purchased them even though I only opened them myself last night.

    I am now just waiting for the company to get back to me but waiting 1-2 business days and being out $$$ is quite distressing.

    So I'd recommend using them asap or checking the balance of your cards.

      yeah same, I don't usually check/just assume it gets done but for some reason also decided to have a look today and nada. Followed their process to 'chat with Mandy' to submit receipt details…. probably nothing will be actioned until next week at the earliest.

      • Dejy on 09/09/2025 - 19:08

        I did the Chat with Mandy thing a few days ago and nothing happened, had to reach a person via the chat and then it got fixed.

  • kerfuffle on 19/09/2025 - 08:59

    Guess no one who didn't contact Everyday Rewards didn't get their bonus points for buying Apple gift cards from Big W? Still waiting for my points for purchasing a $30 gift card from Big W QV.
