      Split payment, but personally under $0.50 left I just chuck it.

      Macca's $0.50 ice cream, Bakers Delight $1 bread rolls I often use for the cards with smaller amounts.

    I reckon there will be 20% off discounted restaurant gift cards for the upcoming black friday sale. Might not be the same gift card OP has referenced but definitely like the Best Restaurants gift card etc

    • sicarz on 07/11/2025 - 11:11

      Isn't the choice one here more versatile? Less restrictions? I've only just found these cards a few months ago - neat way to just casually save 10% off usual food stuff

    • pygym on 07/11/2025 - 11:12

      Likely for best restaurant card, but you can only use it at selected restaurants (and normally fancy ones). This card can be used at any restaurants and fast food. Goodfood can be used for restaurants only, and not fast food. Full details here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/gift_card_deals_retailer_f…

      • A female dog on 07/11/2025 - 11:38

        Yep, good point - Best Restaurants is usually for the fancier restaurants - have used it at 6head a couple times to save a few quid.

        • vawiyoci on 07/11/2025 - 13:12

          Does this one not work for the fancier restaurants? Or do fine dining establishments have yet another different MCC?

          • brisdaz on 07/11/2025 - 13:13

            @vawiyoci: I believe it does work for fancier restaurants; it's just Best Restaurants are restricted to fancier restaurants. There is nothing to do with this card.

            • vawiyoci on 07/11/2025 - 13:14

              @brisdaz: Ah right that makes sense. Oh well already expired anyway.

            +3

            @vawiyoci: The gift cards work differently.

            • Best Restaurants gift cards only work at specific restaurants that have specifically agreed to accept them, and you need to present the barcode and provide a PIN to redeem the gift card. These effectively function more like Coles Group & Myer gift cards or Everyday WISH gift cards.

            • The gift card in this deal is a prepaid Visa gift card that only works at selected MCCs. There is no specific MCC for fine dining establishments, so I would expect those to be assigned MCC 5812.

            • vawiyoci on 07/11/2025 - 13:28
              +1

              @WookieMonster: Cheers that's very informative. Haven't kept up with gift cards so interesting to find out that it works that widely now. Was still stuck on the mindset that you had to buy GC specific to one chain group etc.

      • MiscOzB on 07/11/2025 - 12:05
        +2

        This card can be used at any restaurants and fast food

        Note however that Restaurant Choice is rejected with many apps/online use, e.g. it's not accepted when I try to use for Macca's/Hungry Jack's/KFC apps. TCN Restaurant is accepted through those apps though, plus being much simpler to check balances with the TCN app rather than having to enter card details on RC site, so I much prefer TCN.

        • desktopzero on 07/11/2025 - 12:08

          Works fine via Apple Pay on Macca's/HJ/KFC apps. Sounds like an Android user issue.

          • MiscOzB on 07/11/2025 - 12:10

            @desktopzero: Ah perhaps, yeah even with Google Pay they're rejected/can't be selected as payment method.

            • Craze on 07/11/2025 - 17:54

              @MiscOzB: Yep it's annoying Restaurant choice isn't accepted on Google pay for a few food apps!

      • jleang on 07/11/2025 - 12:08

        Does it work for online orders as well?

        Ie either directly with the fast food

        Or

        With one of the delivery partners like doordash

        • pygym on 07/11/2025 - 12:21

          Yes they work on online orders/payment in restaurants, or through delivery apps, eg. menulog/ubereats/doordash. It even works at food trucks, bubble tea shops, and cafe.

    • SmiTTy on 07/11/2025 - 11:18

      Basically any restaurant where you can tap

    • hamza23 on 07/11/2025 - 11:18
      +2

      Yes, assuming their merchant code is correct, @WookieMonster added the table into the description now.

    • WookieMonster on 07/11/2025 - 11:33
      +3

      Most, but not all.

      It depends on two factors:

      1. Whether the restaurant uses a Merchant Category Code that is permitted on the gift card. The table I added to the bottom of the deal description is the official permitted list from the gift card product website, but OP and a few other OzBargainers have also reported this gift card to work at merchants assigned as Bakeries (MCC 5462). Additionally, Blackhawk Network - the gift card product owner - also blocks a small number of merchants that use one of the permitted MCCs (e.g. ShopBack).

      2. Whether the merchant chooses to accept prepaid Visa gift cards. This is usually only an issue if you are paying online, as I tend to find prepaid Visa gift cards are usually rejected for online transactions for security reasons.

      I go into this in more detail in this FAQ if you are interested in learning more.

      • zooter on 07/11/2025 - 14:55

        @WookieMonster - your FAQ says the following about TCN Good Food - "There have been conflicting reports as to whether this gift card works at merchants using MCCs 5812 and 5813 that are not listed on the Good Food website"

        where is this report from? GCDB says that this should work at MCCs uisng 5812 & 5813 @ https://gcdb.com.au/gc/tcn-good-food/

        • WookieMonster on 07/11/2025 - 15:06
          +1

          It was something I wrote in mid-2024 after seeing a number of earlier reports about the physical TCN Good Food gift card not working at some merchants where it should work. This comment has links to some of those examples. That quote is only against the physical eftpos version, because the digital Mastercard version has (AFAIK) always worked at merchants using MCC 5812 and 5813 not listed on the Good Food website.

          Having thought about it a bit, I will remove that quote from the table, because:

          • There have been a number of physical TCN Good Food gift card deals since mid-2024 and I do not recall seeing any more complaints about the physical version.

          • I have since run into issues where a restaurant will not accept a physical prepaid eftpos gift card - even open-loop ones, such as TCN eftpos gift cards or Westfield eftpos gift cards - but will accept a physical Restaurant Choice (Visa) gift card. (That could explain some of the previous complaints.)

          • Both VantageXL - the person who runs GCDB - and tonester - the other Power User I had a debate with in mid-2024 on this topic - are interpreting the gift card terms differently to me.

  • bigmac38 on 07/11/2025 - 11:18

    Can this card be linked to EatClub app?

    • hamza23 on 07/11/2025 - 11:19

      MCC

      EatClub | 5812 | Eating Places, Restaurants | 26 October 2023 | This MCC was reported on purchases through the EatClub Pay card |

      Should be good.

      Edit: Recent confirmation. Updated wiki date.

  • dwarves on 07/11/2025 - 11:35

    Just bought 4x $300 cards. The first one added to my Apple wallet easily enough. The others won't add. Instead, after inputting all details, there is a pop-up saying that Apple wallet doesn't support this sort of card. Weird. Hopefully only a temporary glitch but if it isn't, using these cards will be very annoying.

    • pygym on 07/11/2025 - 11:39

      you got blocked on your device. dont add any blackhawk gift card for the next 2 weeks or so, then try again. alternatively you can add it on other devices.

      • dwarves on 07/11/2025 - 11:39

        Really??? Any idea why that might happen?

        • pygym on 07/11/2025 - 11:42
          +1

          Kinda random, but normally because adding and erasing cards too frequently. I had a card that couldnt be added to my phone for 6 months. Dont get tempted to add before 2 weeks, because it resets the "timer" again. This is just a theory by some of us who had a similar issue. I contacted both apple and blackhawk in the past, and none of them knew what to do.

          • mauza on 07/11/2025 - 13:39

            @pygym: No need to wait 2 weeks, happened to me and they said 24h is enough, tried myself and it worked. Apparently it has to do with Apple itself not Blackhawk when you try to add multiple cards in a sort period of time.

            • pygym on 07/11/2025 - 14:45

              @mauza: maybe theyve fixed it. this was back in 2023. couldnt register one card for 6 months, and other black hawk issued cards for a good 3 weeks. now i just avoid registering and deleting a card on the same day, and never had issue since.

    • cynix on 07/11/2025 - 11:40
      +2

      This is Blackhawk’s (poor) attempt at preventing fraud/hacking. You can only add 1 card to your Apple Pay per 24 hours (maybe shorter but I didn’t want to try too quickly and risk triggering the block again and waiting another X hours).

      • dwarves on 07/11/2025 - 11:42

        oh GFTO

        that is RIDICULOUS

        must be a new thing - I have added multiple cards at once previously

        • cynix on 07/11/2025 - 11:47

          Yeah this started a couple of months ago, around mid/late Sep I think.

          • dwarves on 07/11/2025 - 11:57

            @cynix: Thanks for your replies - very helpful! cheers

        • WookieMonster on 07/11/2025 - 11:48

          The cherry on top is that this affects multiple different types of gift cards owned by Blackhawk Network. For example:

          • I have run into this issue with Category Choice Groceries gift cards for the last few months.

          • Other people have recently run into this issue with 7-Eleven digital gift cards.

          • ATangk on 07/11/2025 - 12:56
            +1

            @WookieMonster: Yay I got linked. Yeah it seems that they have a 24 hour cooldown on all cards across the Blackhawk Network. Tested just now.

            i.e. You cannot add a 7-Eleven card (likely for 24 hours) after adding this restaurant gift card.

            • zooter on 07/11/2025 - 15:39

              @ATangk: incorrect, I added 2 cards that I bought one after other - but on Google Pay…so maybe it is an Apple thing blocking?

              I have had issues adding cards in the past and it usually adds successfully after a few days though without reaching out to BH

    • ATangk on 07/11/2025 - 12:58

      Wait 24 hours between adding cards. A bit annoying. On the bright side I noticed apple wallet lets you add/keeps the original physical card information so you can easily check balance without searching for the original gift card link. Can also update balance on the description line should you need to if its an older card or some transactions were made on a physical card, etc.
