Woolworths gift card thread

I feel quite despondent when I see all the V1s in WOW ...... they were once so difficult to acquire.

Has anyone found any good alternatives yet? (PM me if it's more appropriate.)

Thx.

I imagine the manufacturers are despondent too-maybe time for an offer

Due for a Chinese new year bonus soon I hope

Good News: Chinese new year gift card back! No activation fee!

Bad News: No bonus points on offer!

Starts Wednesday January 30. $88 special livery EFTPOS cards (the perfect gift card style) for $88. Given you can't even use a WISH card for 5% discount anymore not sure I see much point in this. Maybe if you need to spend a large amount now for a credit card sign on this could work?

While it’s an “enhancement” for sure, I think I can make it work for some payments.

It’ll be less lucrative than usual, but still 50% better than the alternative payment method.

Paying the ATO this way was closed some time ago.

Payg at post office..... Still running!

Nice thought, PLANT! Is there a limit to how big the stack of cards you roll in with? I wonder if you can pay part of your PAYG off at a time to bypass any daily limits?

FYI everyone; here's the ATO link; Other payment options

Got kicked out of post office one day doing that..

I agree it won't make any friends with the people behind you in the queue or the person behind the counter. Probably best to do it in instalments and choose a quiet time of the day (if such a time exists).

I think you should qualify this by saying it may be possible at some post offices. Many post offices will reject the payment though.

I have a theory that this may depend on the time of day or night you visit them. I plan to test it in the next week with a stack of Only1s (and if successful then with these cards as well)

 

[wohoo]

Pretty sure post office dragons are trained to deny you the pleasure of spending those cards. Even the machine want you to have a human to validate signature from what I read. Good luck to all.

The PO staff have been trained to reject prepaid cards for bill payments. It’s like they have the fear of god drilled into them. I once paid for a product rather than a bill and the lady got a big shock and was visibly concerned so much so tried to stop it before it went through (it went through) and then talked to a supervisor before I could go.

Does anyone know if BigW have stopped stocking V1s?

My only local store has been out of them for months.

 

[albyd]

I saw some on the weekend at the one I regularly visit Big W - Eastgardens NSW. They used to be hard to find but not anymore since the WOW eGC method was shut down. Have you figured out an alternative use for them?

BTW @Dr Ralph, with the CNY EFTPOS cards, is there a limit per customer? Apologies if I missed it in your post.

Not really. I did have an idea that I wanted to try (99% sure it won't work).

None stated in offer.
