Coles gift card offers

[andye]

Sorry if you hid 5x$250 behind some other giftcards yesterday at warringah mall. I found them

4 stores done in 40 minutes. Well-stocked except one. 17x$250 3x$100. Didn't push for >5 cards anywhere

They must be so close together.

No $250 cards... But plenty of $100s.

The last at the check out asked if I was 'using these to pay the Ato or something like that'.

Why indeed I am!

 

[andye]

Struck out in Dee Why. That's my 6 locals-off to work

10 X $250 down..... had to get them from box...50 in store.
Also they are really slow via self serve too activate.
Second 5 individual to get fuel discount aswell

All cleaned out near my place. Apparently people came and took them yesterday without activating. Plan to return for activation today.

None at all at my local Coles St Leonard's in Sydney.

Plenty of anecdotes on Ozbargain about customer shenannigans like hiding cards, buying more than 5 etc, and more than a few about poorly stocked stores.

You mean Crows Nest? I was there last night and had a quick look and there were none apart from a few $50 ones

 

[TripleB]

Just dropped by a second store .... Sadly only $50s were there.
I'll try the first store again tonight.

The new one in Willoughby Road. Not sure whether it is technically in CN or StL.

Does anyone know How often do these shelves get restocked? Seems very hard to find anything but the $50.

Very slow start. But some success. No problems so far.

CN

Picked up 5 of the $250s, should have tried for 10!

You should. It's not advertised in the catalogue provided in store, so it's very unlikely staff know about the promo or limits.

I think restocking is unlikely. Seems to me there's a reason for this promo.

That would be theft right?

The check-out lady who assisted me knew all about them; mentioned the 10% discount as soon as I handed her the cards.

I've sent +1 on a mission.

ATO bill has been paid

Morally yes, but they don't have a value unless activated (I think this is stated on the card?), so hopefully not. I plan to start hoarding these, and others, for future promos. If you can't beat 'em.....
