Gift Cards at Supermarkets

Try live chat, they are sometimes ok.

Given that one can no longer use egc to buy GCs at WOW, what do you spend $12k of egc on?

A tonne of porridge!

 

[asterix]

Where did you purchase them?

But I can't see how it makes any difference now. You can't use those eWISH card to buy gift cards in store anymore, so you'll still get 3 points per dollar when you do actually spend inside the store on other items. So nothing has actually changed.

When did that change? I only bought a few Only1V cards a week or two ago using egift cards.

I think we have enough reports to confirm that there is an error with BP and Woolworths at least. Hopefully Amex fix it fast.

Since then

I have Target and Coles on the 23rd that posted 3ppd. Kmart on the 24th only 1ppd.

 

[aspro2]

I was just on live chat (excessively friendly weird slangy interaction). Anyway, it was "referred" to an investigation team. I pointed out that previous giftcard purchases had credited 3ppd, and the chat lady said "I'm totally on the same page with you". Uhuh.

This is not over yet. Try again.

I was successful on Sunday.

Around 10 days ago. Extensive discussion here:

Woolworths gift card thread

It's basically all over, but a few stores may not yet have been patched with the software update.

Thanks for raising this in the other thread. I've just noticed an anomaly with Coles Express... I specifically buy fuel there because of flybuys and 3ppd on the edge.
18/8 Purchase $69.34 Pts: 207
19/8 Purchase 2.50 Pts: 6
25/8 Purchase $86.22 Pts: 86
These are three different Coles Express outlets and all named Coles Express.

Also, BWS is crediting at 3ppd yesterday so no issue there.

That's good to hear that it might be a system error

I can't handle. Any more bad news

Neither, but it is worth raising it with amex, they may discount it as a once off "bug" but if they have multiple complaints they wont be able to ignore it.

I've just been thinking, if it is the closing of the loophole, it might be good to buy heaps now, request for the bonus as a Good gesture will.

But if the More people complain about it, it's not as if the situation can get worse.

But the fact that some Coles places and others are getting 1ppd is encouraging that its pointing towards a glitch
