Just means you choose the value you want the card to be rather than fixed 100 or 250

This offer has expired, but there is an EFTPOS card offer next week at Woolworths.

Would That be the same deal? or are there limitations?

Would That be the same deal? or are there limitations?

Eftpos and credit cards are not the same. It's an eftpos deal next week. Specifically it's the luxury card. Usual limitations of 2 variable cards per day will likely apply.

Does Coles have variable load cards? I know Woolies does though they were mysteriously not available during the rewards promotion. Good luck to those who got them. The Coles $250 promo is good though I’d be interested in DP about larger load options as the $250 are great but a reasonable time investment & I have a FT job too.

I have been buying 10 x $250 per day with my Amex.

No issues at all.

I managed to get about 40 before I kept getting declined as they tried to block more than 10 per customer.....

Mr Katie's latest tax bill has arrived, so hopefully can use some tips here to grab a few points as we pay it off.

I pay ATO (and any investment related payments such as strata levies) via YakPay. Best use of card is Mastercard with a 0.85(?) fee. All others are progressively more.

Thanks!
If I could find them, I think I'd set off some kind of alerts with the number of $500 gift cards we'd need for this bill. Shouldn't complain about capital gains too much, I guess.

I passed on using a credit card to pay our Los Angeles county tax which runs at 1% of value because their processing fee was 2.2%.

OFX now won't accept amex cards - this is very disappointing. I was on a discounted rate with them

Anyone have experience with other players especially if they include payroll? I find pay.com.au as way too expensive

Hi,
Does anyone know if WBC Altitude Qantas Black credit card can be pre-loaded & still receive Qantas points?
i.e. I only have a $15k card limit but have to pay $100k bill, can I transfer $100k to the card and pay the bill in one go ($100k) and still get the Qantas points?
I have contacted WBC but they quite vague with their responses.
Thanks.

Can you part pay 7 times?

That's the backup plan but the payee had a bit of a squeal with so many payments coming through (on a previous transaction).

I recently put a St George card into credit of $150K and paid a bill immediately with no issue
They are parent company of Westpac so cant see why not
Try and maybe split in half and only need to do 2 bills then

As @georgie23 suggests, do a smaller tester first so if it doesn't work there's little lost.
