Coles gift card offers

[exceladdict]

Turns out Mrs excel has access to an ambassador card portal; but unfortunately Coles e-gift cards aren't delivered until the next business day and there's a $500/month limit.

Is the racq and or Suncorp portal an ambassador one too? Any limits you're aware of?

Suncorp is now 4%. No Amex.

Limits are $400 per day, $400 per week (making the daily limit seem redundant), $1,200 per month and $14,400 per year.

Valid for 48 months, but can not be used online.

RACQ I haven’t used recently, so can’t comment. Was $500 per week at 4% IIRC.

RACQ seems to cap it at $500 per week - delivered instantly though. RACQ is done through loyalty corp.

Commencing Wednesday Jan 8, get 1000 bonus flybuys when you buy a $50 or more Coles MasterCard, ultimate for him, ultimate kids, ultimate teens or ultimate student gift card.

Once per account.

For those interested in this offer, I note a new term has been inserted which appears to imply the offer doesn’t begin until 6pm.

See red text below from electronic version of catalogue:

Well spotted. Curious restriction if it is implemented. Can't see the point except to start arguments.

It may refer to online items in the catalogue, which would not apply to gift mastercards. But like so many terms these days it's unclear.

These terms not in the hard copy of the catalogue. And in any case I don't believe you can purchase gift cards online from Coles.

That you can't buy them online, makes the inclusion of the new term all the more puzzling.

I use only 1 VISA for DEFT. No issues. If you make micro payments there are no fees.

How small is a micro payment?

 

[Dr Ralph]

How small is a micro payment?

Varies with different card providers. AMEX $0.15. VISA and MasterCard around $0.34.

So how do you pay a DEFT bill of $900+?

I'm assuming for $900 bill, $900/$0.15 = 6000 times...?

 

[Dr Ralph]

Slowly!

Set up the recurring payment via DEFT. I have 100 micro payments being taken out daily.

PS. $900...I wish mine was that low!

Is that because of daily limit of 100 transactions?

Surely the accounts person at the Strata hates this.

When I look at DEFT, I can see weekly, monthly, etc., but not daily.

Do you set up a number of weekly payments to the same DEFT ref number or am I missing something?

I can do daily.

I did that with Telstra many moons ago before fee free Paypal and my Telstra paper bill was many, many pages long as a result.

Indeed. Had multiple calls about this over the years. I've told them whilst they persist in using DEFT who charge excessive charges that I will continue.

So do you use a $100 VISA1 to make approximately 294 transactions over 3 days?

Same here, weekly but not daily.
