Just back from MYER Brookvale NSW store, they had quite a few (approx 100) on display. I bought 7, I suspect they wil run out well before the week-end is over

For those as uneducated as me: (from wikipedia):

Tautology may refer to:

• Tautology (rhetoric), a self-reinforcing pretense of significant truth
• Tautology (grammar), the use of redundant words
• Tautology (logic), a universal truth in formal logic

I can confirm that you will get the $30 credit if you buy a gift card at First Choice.

You can buy Coles Group cards to maximise the number of places you use it at. And it is valid for 2 years.

You can ask them to load up credit to a specific amount then the. 'Load' transaction is split into how many individual payments you want. I.e. Just did the Mobile Wallet offer across 6 cards asked for $250 value and charged 6 x $30 with DC for the last $70. That way, you don't end up with too many $150 GCs and leave some supply for the next guy.

Woah! Surely not!

 

[albyd]

Used to be possible to use it at Australia Post to pay ATO bills via self serve terminal but got shut down. I think the lack of 'breakage' meant Westfield wasn't making any money out of it (apart from the issue fee).

I've just found out today that $500 is the max you can load onto a Coles group gift card.

 

[albyd]

Good to know. Beats holding heaps of $150 GCs unless you're planning to hide them away as presents and leaves some for he next guy.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but whereabouts in store are the Coles Myer Group gift cards usually located? I haven't been into a Myer store for years, and always found it a PITA trying to find anything!

As the Myer offer is valid in store as well as online, I could not go past 23.33% off $150 Coles Myer Gift Cards. Cards purchased and emails received.

So did you purchase them in store or online?

If online for the Coles Myer group cards - do you have a link?

If in-store, are they the same as the ones you can pick up at any Coles store?

I think what is confounding me is this text:

Qualifying Purchases include accommodation, food and beverages and other incidentals during your stay which are paid at the hotel front desk at the time of check-out.

Extract from T&Cs:

Book directly with Langham Hotels' refers to booking a room via any direct 'Langham Hotels booking channel' online at langhamhotels.com, via phone or directly on premise with the participating properties.

Couldn't find gift card online. Am I missing something??

Is there a manual link for the Myer offer?

Oh card guru....

Just bought an XS card as a tester. Got email from AMEX instantly. All looks good.

Thanks DrRalph, can these XS Gift cards be used to load a Coles RMC?

There are no Westfield centres in Tas (or the NT where I will be next week) so while it is a good deal, it is not quite as good for me as others.

They are just an eftpos card so you should just be able to use them like a preloaded visa etc.

I am not familiar with these single use eftpos cards so please bear with me - when someone successfully uses a Westfield XS gift card to load a Coles RMC could they please post to confirm it works. (Or PM me )
