Woolworths gift card thread

The other catch is you need to account for any surcharge if close to the full balance

I would boycott a shop which has a surcharge on eftpos cards.

These are an EFTPOS card. Use in the same way you use any EFTPOS card, although you must swipe and use a PIN.

Can I also strongly suggest that you don't spend $100's buying something you don't understand. Do your research first. Buying these cards isn't for everyone. Saving money/earning points doesn't just happen by accident. It takes work.

Thanks for the tip and the reprimand… I do the work, in more than one country, actually. I moved to Oz from somewhere else, so I’m not up on every detail of Australian FF points/miles collection, and how to use eftpos cards is one of my blind spots - I still often use overseas-based credit cards and FF programs when they are more lucrative. I did a search on this website for instructions, but couldn’t turn up anything so basic, hence the question. Then I did some more google searches, and found the answers.

Thanks, this is a useful tip. Our vet certainly has an eftpos surcharge, and so does our GP.

Don't worry, Ralphy isn't known round here for pulling his punches. We all get the same treatment

Oh, I know the type… posting a lot, mostly very useful info, but 0 tolerance for newbies’ somewhat basic questions. I used to be a member of a much larger FF bulletin board up north (FT) and I’ve encountered my share there. C’est la vie…

I was able to get some today. Regional Vic.

I spoke too soon. No more variable ones at Drouin and Warragul. The staff just shrugged when I asked if they were getting any more soon.

At least Coles have still got lots of iTunes cards.

For the first time ever I saw bare rows in Newcastle today.

Went to my usual reliable store tonight (low socio-economic regional town in NSW) and there was nil stock.

Never been let down by this particular store before

Well, I had a whinge on the store yesterday, on them being tight. Today, they are sold out! What's going on? (Windsor NSW)
