What's the rationale, do you think, behind only offering such offers in selected states?

Stock management? Otherwise not sure.

Given NSW has the 2000 points Flybuys offer currently for these cards there's not much stock around as it is and I highly doubt that there will be any restocking before this new offer starts in 3 days time.

At least purples are best value currently, whereas yellows will be next week
I've seen a fair few yellows around my visits which I've left on shelves

0 yellows for me in the 3 stores I checked earlier today.

Note - 5 GCs per FB account per day - it will be a bunfight!

Stock gone in all my local stores, managed my last haul today of 15 x $250's with stock I had hidden away

Managed about $15,000 but was hoping to get $26,000

Here is the other Coles gift card promotion for the 26th. No state exclusions for this one.

Picked up some Gold Coles Mastercards this morning at North Sydney Coles. They are not on display - just ask for them at the service desk.

I woke too late to do my usual trawl but copious yellows in the one I went to

I purchased 10 x $250 today over our 2 Flybuys accounts. For the first 5, it rejected 1 which involved getting a supervisor to refund and scan a new card. Supervisor suggested and processed the second 5 cards as 3 and then 2 but it rejected one again in the batch of 2. Consistent issue apparently which he was going to report to Store Manager. He did say you could purchase using the SCO, might try that tomorrow purchasing one at a time.

I noticed it could take up to 24 hours after activation before using the card - has that been the general experience amongst the Affers here?

Normally instant activation.

I used within an hour

Anyone had issues processing multiple cards for ATO payment? I got to card #6 and payment was declined - card is ‘approved’ according to Coles receipt. Security measure from ATO?. Correct card number etc used.

 

[SydneySwan]

Multiple cards OK but never do more than 5 or it triggers some alert at the ATO. I usually do 4 per day max and never have an issue.

Thanks Sydney Swan

I processed 10 yesterday and 10 the day before with no issues. Just wishing I had got my hands on more of them!
