$100 and $200 denominations are available. It says you can buy up to 10. Whether that is 10 of each denomination, or 10 altogether, seems to be vague.

BIG W eGift Card is valid for 12 months from the issue date.

Since I missed out on the Entertainment Book ones, I was glad to grab these.

Hurry! Limited time offer. Must end on 1 Feb 2015 or until sold out

      They only sell Myer gcs. Not Coles Myer Group gcs. As far as I know they have never stocked the Coles Myer Group gcs. WW group don't want to send customers to Coles supermarkets. Their stores sell Masters gcs but not Bunnings gcs for the same reason. However they do sell Myer gcs, as well as David Jones, JB Hifi, Good Guys, Country Road etc… These stores are not direct competitors to a core business of WW.

      From experience & comments in previous threads Myer will not allow you to purchase Coles Myer Group gcs with a Myer gc. This is also listed in their t&cs:

      http://retail.myergiftcards.com.au/CMS/Page/giftcardterms

      "1.2 c. Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase Gift Cards or other tender;"

      Sorry no way to convert a Big W gc to a Coles Myer Group gc.

        Thank u for the detailed explanation, mate.

        Hey I was wondering if you buy those gift cards from Woolworths do you have to go to a human checkout person to do it? or can you go to the automated checkouts and get it done that way?

        Assuming you are using these eGift Cards from groupon.

        • spacecowboy on 04/02/2015 - 22:05

          You can use them at self-checkout and staffed checkouts.

          @spacecowboy: Cheers

    Deal was dead and has returned with a new expiration date. AND it is now available AGAIN to anyone who previously purchased. So, Groupon considers it a new deal. Hence, it's a new deal and doesn't deserve duplicate status.

  • jdf on 28/01/2015 - 12:21

    Has this deal expired, can't seem to find it?

    • unity1 on 28/01/2015 - 17:09

      Me neither. Still have a few from the previous deal fortunately.

      • jdf on 28/01/2015 - 20:23

        Thanks unity1 for checking.

        • unity1 on 28/01/2015 - 20:27

          Hopefully it will be back in a few days. Keep an eye out on Ozbargain.

    CHOICE just published an article on foreign transaction fees incurred buying from .com.au retailers http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/computers-and-onl…

      Very interesting article. Most interesting was that banks owned by the big 4 here don't charge those fees in New Zealand.

      Thanks again mattgal for the good information on this issue!

      I think Choice must have read comments in this deal ;-)

      It was put by one OzBargainer that this was a scam, but that is incorrect. As I commented several times, this is a failure to disclose at time of purchase. It is hidden away in t&c (pointed out by mattgal), which we agreed to, to be able to purchase.

      It is an issue that could be referred to the ACCC by those adversely affected - like mattgal. BUT, the ACCC would likely take no action as Groupon already has a refund process (if you know about it!) & is changing it's banking system to stop overseas charges.

      "The retailer's role
      If the site has an Australian page and charges in Australian dollars, it would be reasonable to think you're dealing with a local payment system."

      "Lack of disclosure
      While retailers aren't the ones charging the fee, they don't always clearly disclose where their bank is located. Of the sites we looked at with offshore banks, any such reference was usually buried either in the terms and conditions or FAQs. We found the clause hard to find when intentionally looking for it, but some consumers are not even aware the fee exists in order to look for any warning about where the bank is located. Ideally this information would be made clear at least at the point of purchase."

      "Regulatory blind spot
      the international transaction fee is charged by the banks independently of the retailer. This makes it a hazy area in terms of regulation.

      Financial service regulator ASIC told us that it's not unlawful for banks to charge the fee provided it's been disclosed in the terms and conditions."

      "Presumably, processing payments offshore saves the retailer money.

      "This allows us to pass on these savings to our Australian customers through cheaper product prices," he said.

      However, Johnson also said that any customer charged a fee could contact Vision Direct for a refund on the fee. Groupon and the Sydney Aquarium have a similar policy"

      "ACCC weighs in
      As for whether online retailers which appear to be based in Australia are breaching Australian Consumer Law by having offshore payment systems, an ACCC spokesperson told us that "the conduct could be misleading or deceptive and there would be an obligation for appropriate disclosure on the part of the business".

      It's an issue that the ACCC has looked at following complaints from consumers. "There are various types of services in which this issue has been raised. The matters have been resolved through administrative resolution rather than litigation or undertakings,""

      Finally, "Groupon Australia has a foreign bank but it's in the final stages of arranging a local payment gateway"

    is someone able to help with how to use the coupon. I went to Woolies the other day and the lady scanned the code on the group on certificate which I had printed out, but she said I needed to put in a pin number? Ant help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • muffy28 on 24/02/2015 - 08:37

    Thank you. No I had not read the explanation properly. Just went back through emails and found the actual gift cards.
