      App? Try desktop or web, last time there were similar issues in the app.

    • Big-Deal on 26/12/2025 - 02:21

      No just bought $100. Also 5, 25, 50 and 75 available

    So, 10% discount on officeworks products ordered on uber eats app :)

  • woolly on 26/12/2025 - 06:10

    I wonder if the department store category 5732 would work at eb games. Tough to definitively work this out so I’ll pass . .

    • JustinW on 01/01/2026 - 01:15

      highly chance they use 5945

  • ranma241 on 26/12/2025 - 06:53

    if I buy a $200 Apple gift card I get an extra $20?

    • itsmehuey on 26/12/2025 - 15:22

      No, you get $200 Apple GC and $20 promo credit added to the Amazon account you purchased from.

  • dwarves on 26/12/2025 - 06:59

    Largest denomination for Uber cards is $50…sigh

    • VladImpaler on 26/12/2025 - 07:05

      If you're using the app switch to a browser and others will show

      • dwarves on 26/12/2025 - 07:33

        Thanks but this did not work

        • eastmeetswests on 26/12/2025 - 09:42

          On web browser was able to choose 5 and 25 denominations

    • simonnreynolds on 26/12/2025 - 10:04

      Same

    • sintro on 28/12/2025 - 17:01

      The app is showing up to $500 uber gift cards.

  • ilovefullprice on 26/12/2025 - 09:08

    Is it possible to partially pay past Uber/Eats purchases with GCs (or only full past amounts are allowed to be paid with GCs)?

    • ValueInvesting on 26/12/2025 - 13:04
      +1

      No it didn't work for me. Required the full balance of the purchase to be paid in uber cash

  • bargain-hunter on 26/12/2025 - 09:22

    Can we use the category choice groceries to buy the Coles Mastercard gift cards from Coles today??

    • LRS on 26/12/2025 - 09:36

      I just tried in VIC. Declined for me :(

      • bargain-hunter on 26/12/2025 - 09:42

        Damn! Thanks for your help!!

      • Ezio on 26/12/2025 - 09:57
        +1

        Apparently it gets declined if you buy more than 2x $100 at once, were you trying to get more?

        • LRS on 26/12/2025 - 10:04

          Yes I tried to purchase $400

          • Big-Deal on 26/12/2025 - 11:56

            @LRS: Max category choice denomination here is $100 though?

            • LRS on 26/12/2025 - 12:31

              @Big-Deal: Scored the $500 one, 4x
              Had saved in my cart last time.

            • Ezio on 26/12/2025 - 20:21

              @Big-Deal: Up to $500 available on desktop.

              • Big-Deal on 29/12/2025 - 02:04

                @Ezio: I only see $100 max in desktop. Had you also saved from earlier or how to get it?

        • test8888 on 26/12/2025 - 14:39

          wonder if $200 per tx will still be accepted?

            @test8888: Yes, I did 2 * $210 transactions this morning. Make sure you do it at different terminals

        • LRS on 26/12/2025 - 14:57

          Thanks for the info. Purchased one and it was successful.

  • tajid on 26/12/2025 - 09:42

    What's the max per use for the Groceries card?

  • sb81 on 26/12/2025 - 10:51

    Any idea how long it takes for the promo credit to show up? previous promo's i get an email letting me know the credit is ready within a few mins.

    • itsmehuey on 26/12/2025 - 11:16

      States within 24 hours. Usually arrives in 5-10 mins most of the time. I am still waiting for mine but only ordered 2 mins ago.

      • sb81 on 26/12/2025 - 11:28

        ah okay, thanks. it's been over an hour, but i will wait and see.

        • itsmehuey on 26/12/2025 - 11:29
          +1

          If anything I’d suggest taking a screenshot of the promo from Amazon as proof of the promo and also have your purchase confirmation email that you can share with Amazon CS in the event you don’t receive it within 24 hours :) they should be able to sort it out.

          • sb81 on 26/12/2025 - 11:38

            @itsmehuey: good idea. thanks!

            • itsmehuey on 26/12/2025 - 15:22

              @sb81: No worries. I might have to do the same as I haven’t received mine yet either. Will check again tomorrow morning.

              • SoManyBargains on 28/12/2025 - 22:38

                @itsmehuey: I didn’t get my promo credit and when I contacted customer support they asked for screenshot of promo to prove that there in fact such a promo going on. Once I provided they applied a gift card and advised that they are escalating this to be fixed.

    For those who have Australian Unity membership, don't forget there's 10% off Supermarket (only).

  • rhazz on 26/12/2025 - 17:17

    Does anyone know if the $20 Amazon promotional credit can be used to buy gift cards?

    Thinking to buy the &200 apple gift card and then use the $20 to buy another Apple gift card

    • daanish on 26/12/2025 - 18:45

      Pretty sure you can't use any sort of credit to purchase gift cards.

    • Ezio on 26/12/2025 - 19:35

      I've used promo credit to buy groceries gc a few times, worked fine.

    • Big-Deal on 29/12/2025 - 02:10

      Yeah promo credit acts like a coupon on these gift cards reducing the total

  • pollambo on 26/12/2025 - 19:38

    any expiry on amazon credit?

  • lbreav on 27/12/2025 - 08:55

    Any body else encountered a problem with Uber not being able to change payment method to GC (or indeed at all) when the original payment was Paypal?

  • itsmehuey on 27/12/2025 - 09:00

    Anyone received their promo credit yet for $200 Apple GC purchase? Still waiting and it’s almost been 24 hours.

    • itsmehuey on 27/12/2025 - 11:54
      +2

      Had to contact Amazon CS. They issued a $20 GC instead of applying the promo credit. So no limit to what it can be used to purchase (except GCs obviously)

      • Jad on 30/12/2025 - 12:21

        Had to follow up with Amazon CS also to get the promo credit applied.

  • GoodDealVC on 27/12/2025 - 22:05

    Only $5 giftcard for Uber?

  • dealsgrabber on 27/12/2025 - 22:11
    +1

    Anyone having an issue with seeing larger denominations of the Category Choice gift cards, I just found out that you don't need to switch to desktop or desktop mode. Just change the orientation on the app from portrait to landscape and you will see all the denominations.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 27/12/2025 - 22:16

      Didn't work for me, only the Department one wasn't showing other denominations. What a strange issue.

      Edit: Department is also only $5 on web/desktop.

      • trixieb on 27/12/2025 - 22:30

        @dealsgrabber Can you see the option for adding a custom amount? It used to be available a while ago.

  • toobzy on 28/12/2025 - 15:39

    Anyone else get error when adding Category Choice card to wallet? Saids card cannot be added, please contact card issuer? samsung phone

  • sintro on 28/12/2025 - 17:02

    Can I use Amazon gift cards in my account to pay for uber gc?

    Edit: just checked, no gift card balance cannot be used.

    • itsmehuey on 29/12/2025 - 06:30

      Used to be able to, but they changed it a while back to no longer allow it.

      • JustinW on 31/12/2025 - 05:12

        used to be a big loophole when you can still purchase Active gift card w/o activation fees, also The Grocery Gift Card from card.gift.
