As a reminder, Vanilla Visa gift cards currently do not work with PayPal, DEFT or Sniip but they do still seem to work for ATO payments.

What is the subject to purchase fees $50 = $5.95 $100 = $5.95 variable $7.95
Does that mean you are buying a card say $107.95 so cost is $7.95 for 1,000 points.

The value is in the variable load cards. $500 nets you 2500 qantas points, plus points you earn on your credit card when purchasing them at woolworths

I am hoping if its 10 x $ 500 for 5000 points?

A friend just bought 2x $500. Hasn’t been able to pay ATO yet…will try again later. Balance states $500 on each….

Works now for ATO after initial delay

10 x everyday reward points = 5 x qantas points.

For example today I bought 2 x $500 cards. Total cost was $15.90 which netted me 6250 qantas points: 5000 from everyday rewards and 1250 from using my qantas amex to pay for them.

Have there been recent cases of fraud with these cards ?

Always. Nothing has changed. Use immediately or suffer the wait of trying to get your money back. Make no mistake, your card will be hacked, it's just a matter of how long this takes.

Can i ask, as i use woolies gift cards for my shopping am i better off buying them through the qantas marketplace as they offer 3x points per dollar on them and usually i dont get any. I dont know how ive missed that deal

Depends on whether you get a cash discount elsewhere.
I buy mine via Entertainment Book and get 4% at Woolies, 5% at BWS/Dan's
NRMA and other portals have similar offers
This exceeds the 3x points in value for me

 

[blacksultan]

Is there anyway to set up ‘ verified by visa ‘ for these cards ?

 

[blacksultan]

Also is there a delay with award of points ?

WW EDR offers are usually instant with very rapid transfer to QFF in 2000 EDR point batches
You should see the points awarded on the till screen when you purchase

I scanned my rewards card at least 3-4 times because of issues With activation and paying . Looks like no luck though with points .

Can you do a retrospective claim?

I was checking to see if anyone had info on same

 

[sstrzelka]

They're usually very helpful in the Rewards chat, even when the points were correctly calculated. I'm almost sure they will credit you the points if you have the receipt

Just give them a call and they will work it out for you. If they won't, you tried!
