Gift Cards at Supermarkets

[Mr_Orange]

I ordered on Monday afternoon and don't even have my tax invoice yet, let alone the eGC. I have called and emailed but that doesn't seem to have sped anything up.

My local Caltex Service Station only take the 5% off plastic Woolies gift cards so I buy them on RACWA site and use Amex Platinum Edge to get 3 points per dollar. I add on the 4 cents saving by scanning the Woolies rewards card. These mailed cards take about 4 days to arrive.

This has always been the case where the attached shop is a Star Mart. If it is an actual Woolies shop, hen eGCs work fine and you also earn points when scanning the WWR card.

The fuel price is actually less at the plain Caltex rather than the Woolies Caltex. The 98 fuel is around $1.40 on a Monday less 11 cents plus the CC points. I am happy with that.

You'll need to be more specific. Eftpos gc means nothing to me.

EFTPOS cards like the perfect gift card do not work for online payments of any kind.

You need to use a MasterCard, Visa or American express for ATO payments

You cannot do it directly with EFTPOS cards like the perfect gift card

You used to be able to do it via the Post Office. But they officially do not allow it now, though I believe occasionally it may slip through at some branches.

Only1 Visa Gift cards work fine.. $100 at a time. Pay $99.85 as the amount and there is a 15c surcharge using up the full $100.

Always.

Confirmed. Unless you can load them onto another card and then use that card forget the VISA 1 cards for ATO.

Costco is no longer accepting eftpos/visa giftcards now too due to fraud..

Tried to use my Visa1 cards to pay SYDNEY Water bill online. Didn’t work.

Looks like the reach of the block is expanding beyond ATO. Hope they still work with Deft next time I get my Strata notice.

 

[jbman]

Anyone spoken to visa1 about the number of rejections that are starting to happen?

I use Paypal with my AMEX to pay for my Sydney Water bill.
