Woolworths gift card thread

[RAM]

Nearly as sad as when the flight centre bonus offers stopped - funded several years of 5 of us doing rtn Europe that way using 5% off egcs, even tag efforts with getting FBs at Coles buying C MCs with 2000 pt/$100 bonus then buying 10% bonus added onto FC gcs at W using them...

Ah, the good old days....

DJ has stopped taking EFTPOS gift cards to make a payment to your DJ AMEX since July 2018.

Unfortunately not for me as I've never had that card.

That's interesting to. Know

I on the other hand dont always agree on using giftcard other than for groceries, due to the loss of benefit associated with credit card.

For example, if you buy item at JB with a credit card, you will most likely get extended insurance with the credit card provider, and if you services like flight centre, you can chargeback if the services are not provided.

But ultimate people need to weight up the 5% discount against the loss of chargeback / credit card insurance in deciding what is the best method.

Step 1 - Buy Coles egcs at $95 per 100 face value using VFF point earning cc
Step 2 - Use eGCs to buy C prepaid MCs on 2,000 pt FB offer - no account limit just max per transaction of 10 cards - also earn normal FB points on them - pay $5.95 fee per $100 cMC
Step 3 - Use cMCs at W to buy FC GCs on offer of buy $100 get $10 FC eGC bonus, $5.95 fee per $100 FC gc. - earn WRpoints on face value purchases
Step 4 - redeem FC gcs (& eGCs) by doing price match for 5x rtn Europe airfares
Step 5 (really done prior to step 1 though) - confirm purchase chain (steps 1 - 4) satisfies VFF cc travel insurance requirements - note down name, date, time of CCA spoken with at travel insurance CC company.

So many points, ah the good old days, sniff sniff.

Wonder if the stores will impose a max cards per person, even though catalogue just says 10/transaction

Not 100% what you are referring to but the Coles catalogue offer I see only gives bonus Flybuys once per account (I have seen a "10 cards per transaction" red herring in previous T&Cs and was caught out on this)

Edit: next post explains that you are likely referring to the other supermarket

Note that the Visa Only 1 cards with the Happy Birthday branding are not included in the offer. These:



The offer only applies to the cards with the branding pictured in the catalogue:

Are you assuming that only as pictured or already tried purchasing?

Store I visited this morning only had the cards with birthday branding in stock. I tried one and it scanned at $105.95.

Self checkout operator said "it's only the ones with the champagne glasses". I showed him the catalogue and he confirmed only the ones pictured.

I guess it's possible it was a store specific IT issue, but I doubt it.

 

[daft009]

Uhoh means more of a fight to buy lol.
I've only seen the birthday and green at my store
