Gift Cards at Supermarkets

[Tonyrancid]

Does Anyone know if Accor giftcards are activated imediatley (DJs cards seem to take a few days for me).

Secondly, Can I purchase Accor girftcards from Woolies with an egiftcard, effectively taking 7.5% off the hotel rate?

Thanks

Can someone just confirm that these BIGW eGift cards can work at any Woolies Group store?

Certainly work at Woolies, just used a Big W e card 5 mins ago.

No idea about accor cards, but I too discovered on the weekend that DJ's cards don't immediately activate.

Does anyone else have any input about other gift cards?
IME experience DJs takes a few days, and myer is instant.

Are there any similar offers for GCs that work at Coles Group which is where I do most of my shopping???

Ent book no longer offer CG&M cards, neither do automotive associations (RACV/RACQ/NRMA/etc)
I do have access to them via AGL rewards though, and apparently so do ambassador card members.

 

[casanovawa]

And what sort of offers does AGL offer, 5% off or those sorts of things???

I don't suppose buying them with an Amex card would get the 3 points/$ although maybe buying a a visa or something in store at Coles (if they sell them) would earn the 3 points/$ and then that could be used to buy the CG&M GCs???

Re: the accor card, the small print on the back said that it couldn't be used for accor advantage rates, so I never bothered...

Good to know that about Myer cards, instantly activated

What makes it an Accor advantage rate? I normally search without logging in first and then log in when booking. But currently looking at a hotel where the normal website rate is the same as when logged in; does that mean it's not an advantage rate. Or does it become an advantage rate as soon as I add my Accor number?

It will say advantage rate iirc, which of course is the sub card that gives 10% off! I wonder if the ibis business card rate is OK?

yep 5% off, but the portal only takes visa/MC. Also there's a postage fee ($2-$5) which means value is lost on smaller purchases.
Personally though I've never bothered, as I routinely buy my CG&M cards for approximately 20% off via various amex statement credit offers (myer, liquorland, target)

It's handy when I am making spontaneous purchases at myer and there's a woolies/big w nearby. Bit disappointed that DJ's doesn't work the same way.

Great news, thanks. Immediately bought a $500 bigw card

Same, and it's actually just a WISH card with BigW branding so valid across all the Woolies owned stores.

This offer is available for everyone.

how does one actually know exactly how long it takes to have a myer or DJ activated? The only want to find out is to actually to try and use it right? there is no other way to check it?
