Gift Cards at Supermarkets

is it not the idea that you just grab 20x (or whatever) and just use the self checkout and do 5 cards at a time?

I did do 5 at self check out, I went back to get more, then another staff stopped me and said I can not buy more.

Makes me feel like a criminal and/or stealing items.

THIS IS NOT BABY FORMULA WE ARE NOT SELLING TO CHINA!! freken hell, TRUMP ALL THE WAY!

 

[deva22]

fair enough. I tend to go when it's busy, the staff tend to care less

I was stopped once by supervisor. I did print out flybuys promotion including the terms and conditions, and show it to her. I specfic point out 10cards + mulitple redeem. no more issue after that, buy as many as I can.

Always bring the print out, not all coles staff aware of this promotions. they dont do this everyday, one customer show up and bought plenty, might cause alarm to them.

idiot policy. terms and conditions stated 10 cards, and can be redeem multiple times.


Typical jealous coles staff!

FlyBuys is different to Coles, Coles can limit you.. blah blah blah.. bs.

They dont care if there is a promo or not. I spoke to this store manager and she was like no 5 per person a day.

You can not reason with these people.
She was saying Im scamming them or I am being scammed.

wtf?

I even said I will speak to head office and ask them to clarify and she no 5 per person per day.
for sakes!

Perhaps you go early morning and then later in the day? I can't imagine many employees pulling 16 hour days...

Im sure the manager and that staffer would have told everyone to keep look out for people buying more than 5 cards at a time.

But it is silly to have to do that. >.< ARGH These people are the reason for paper work / red tape etc..

Bought 30 cards today at Coles. 5 in each transaction. No problems except the staff didn't seem to understand what I was doing.

Lucky!

None of them do!!! Some people do not understand the value of things when promos or bargains are to be hand.

At least they let you do it!

The less people that know the better, it is just part of the game.

Some times talking to a brick wall is better than talking to these people or trying to tell them to let you do something.

oh well. im gona go back every day and buy 5.

I haven't been near this thread for weeks due to travel. Can someone point me back to where the thread starts talking about buying the cards you are referring to so I can work out what it's all about :?:

spacebar

Basic maths for me

$100 CMGC = $105 incl activation fee. = 315 AMEX MR using Plat Edge + 1000 flybuys bonus points (only if you were targeted for the offer)

x how many you want

That would depend on which card(s) you are referring to.

There have been 2 main offers over the past couple of weeks:

1) The $100 Coles Prepaid MasterCard (which is a targeted offer)

2) The $88 Woolworths Perfect Gift card (now expired).

But there is also a 1 off VISA 1/David Jones/Country Road offer currently running at Coles, which is open to all.

 

[straitman]

Thanks everyone.

I have had enough issues with flybuys just getting a working account let alone getting targeted for offers. At least that part is now sorted so I think I'll just look forward and react when something appears.

Flybuys bonus points posted very quick now , only about 2 days after transactions.
