Coles gift card offers

[Captain Halliday]

In the US for 3 weeks. You're on your own until then

Odds are good for a deal then!

I assume it’s targeted but I received an offer on one account for 1000 points on a $100 Visa card or 2000 points on a $200 Visa card to a maximum of 10,000 points if purchased at Kmart. Don’t often get Kmart promos especially relating to gift cards. I’m going to assume that these cards have an activation fee on them making them poor value.

I participated in this Kmart promo but I haven't received the bonus points. Looks like I may have been duped.

Yep neither have I. I also maxed out the limit of ultimate cards across two accounts on this weeks promo but both accounts have been paid out incorrect amount of points and on top of that some of my normal product promos haven’t earned points where I typically receive them the day after. Seems like I might need to dedicate time to chasing this all up!

This is kind of related to this thread: just got a flybuys email awarding up to 2000 bonus points when redeeming flybuys points for $100 gift cards, for example:


Appears to be the same exchange rate as flybuys dollars (1 point = 0.5 cents) so could be a nice way to get a 10% points cashback (or $10) on some redemptions.

From 5-11 Oct. 1000 points for $50 or $100 Ultimate gift cards. Limit of 5 per FB account.

Interestingly, the ultimate card website says these can be used online. I wonder if they now use visa or MC as the backbone?

I'm a bit concerned by the fraud reports on ozb. Just don't have the energy to follow up a card if it gets hacked at the moment!

I thought this was about a different type of card

Confirmed. I’ve only just had one from the last round replaced.

Major hassle IMHO

Still using a few remaining cards from last time and have had no issues. Bought close to 200 of them as a reference. Seems the chances of this happening is low, although of course it’s a hassle if it does.

Are purchase of these cards classed as eligible spend for the purpose of earning velocity status credits ?

Theo?

Last time they did not count for Velocity credits.

 

[kpc]

As usual the main issue is finding these cards in store....because of the hacking concern, if I do buy any, they will be all spent the same day they are bought!

Theo was a typo for the .

They used to be included in eligible purchases for velocity status credits .

From Wednesday October 19, note the conditions (especially the 4 hour activation period):

Timing. Just came here to report a hack on one of my Coles MC cards bought in the last round.

$98 charged to a $100 card by some thai massage joint at Merrylands. Only discovered this last week but the hack occurred in late August. I've reported it, but the response doesn't fill me with optimism.
