Coles gift card offers

I am a little concerned I may have been a bit flippant in my gift voucher purchases today. I visited three stores to get 15 cards and need a further three, to purchase an iPad at JB-Hi Fi.

I vaguely recall someone saying that you can only redeem a certain number at a time. I also vaguely recall someone else saying (s)he just buys JB Hi-Fi gift cards with the third party ones to get around that problem.

Can anyone confirm the former of these vague recollections? Because the T&Cs of JB Hi-Fi don't allow for the latter, so i may be slightly screwed here...! If I am, does anyone have any work arounds to suggest?

I will be purchasing the iPad in store, not online.

Just go when it’s quiet and advise you will be paying by multiple gift cards

There's no limit (subject to staff indulgence) as to how many gift cards you can use in store at JB HiFi. I've found that if you are up front about it, they usually are very accomodating. I've used 50+ in a transaction without issue - except for the time taken for all involved.

PHEW! Thanks for letting me get a good night's sleep!

PS If there's anyone from Ballarat looking for $50 cards, there may or may not be a stash behind each the coughake mushroom boxes in the Sebas Coles 🙊.
 
I haven't received the 2000 flybuys bonus for the second batch of gift cert MCs I purchased during the promo that just ended. Normally I get around to buying only 1 batch of 5 during the promo, as most Coles stores in this area aren't exactly close. But this time I visited two different stores on two separate days, and I purchased a batch of 5 cards each day. Has the rule changed so that you can only receive the 2000 bonus points for each card once per week instead of once per day? I did receive the regular Flybuys for the spend.

The Ts & Cs of the purple and yellow Mastercards was limit of 5 per flybuys account. They vary with each promotion so you have to really check them!

Apologies. I am used to the OzBargain crowd who pillory anything other than 10% off Coles Mastercards.

I'm one of those, $6 saving per $250 is not worth the effort :(

The online cards that have the ongoing $7 fee waived, that offers seems to go to January so I think the 10% off offers may be gone for good :(

I should have got them with the 2000 Flybuys points per card :(

I have to pay council rates and I wouldn't get full CC points for that, so these are perfect, $6 discount on rates per card and full AMEX points

So you can pay council rates with these or any gift cards?
Your need a few cards obviously, you pay online or at post office?
