Ordered at about 11am, paid "$100" via paypal, received the ecards at 12.34pm, bank now showing $125 authorisation. I've emailed them advising that I did NOT authorise them to deduct a further $25 (how they can do this using paypal without my approval is a mystery - worth knowing about) and that they should contact me with an explanation.

If the code wasn't valid then they will have no choice but to cancel the cards, I'm not keeping them. Coles is generally overpriced so I have no intention of paying full price for their cards.

As advised above CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
- iRMonkey on 07/01/2016 - 14:55
  
  Call their customer service line, they'll process the refund for $25 on the spot.
  - Homr on 07/01/2016 - 15:02
    
    previous comments says that they will look into it and contact you later. They don't give refunds straight away.
    - SevenSmurfs on 07/01/2016 - 15:04
      
      Yep I was told they will refund it within 1-3 business days

    Thanks but it appears that it depends on who you speak to and whether you want to hang around on the phone while they try to find a resolution. Can't be bothered wasting my time, Coles just isn't worth the hassle.

    I did call but they said need to get back to me instead of on the spot. Still waiting for the call

  Just call them and they will refund you $25.

I received mine as well, should have ordered more while it was still unknown to Target.

My order went through with a confirmation email however no gift card email yet. So I called the help line and the operator explained that the online store generally stocks 1,000 cards in each denomination and they have run out of stock today thanks to us Ozbargainers.

They will restock tomorrow and mail out to those who got a confirmation email by COB tomorrow.

Hi there,

Regarding order -xxxxxxxxx

Unfortunately it looks like the discount you applied did not register correctly with our system and you were charged the full amount for your order.

We apologise for the error and we are organising for the $25 to be credited back to the account your order was created with.

This can take about 3-5 working days depending on your financial institution.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on 1300 753 567 or simply reply to this email.
- Homr on 07/01/2016 - 15:57
  
  I haven't received that email yet :(
  - andw on 07/01/2016 - 16:22
    
    Me either.
    Was an email sent to prompt this or did it just come?
- [Deactivated] on 07/01/2016 - 16:26
  
  Same reply received about an hour ago here so it appears they will be honouring the code for early comers.
rukia89 on 07/01/2016 - 16:39

Placed my order at 10.40am, code worked but was charged $125 when I check Paypal.
Loddged a Paypal dispute and received a reply from Target:

"We have recently received a paypal case open against your online order in relation to a system error with a promotional code.

As a result we are happy to honour a $25 refund back into your paypal account.

Please note however that we do need you to please close the Paypal case in order for us to apply this refund as the dispute places a hold on the funds

If you can please confirm by Friday 8.1.16 that you have closed this we can proceed to action the refund, otherwise we will need to cancel this order due to the dispute."

However I have not received the gift cards yet - hopefully soon?
iRMonkey on 07/01/2016 - 16:42

I've just received a refund through Paypal for $25. Assume the eGift card will be processed when they have more available!
Homr on 07/01/2016 - 16:42

Got the email from old mate Gabrielle at Target advising that they will refund me back the $25

But I still haven't received the gift cards though. Hopefully they come through tomorrow

Got mine! Delayed like a few people, but Target pulled through! Just wanted to double check - If I spend $70 in Coles and use the $100 voucher do I get change back?

  Remaining balance stays on the card until you spend it all.
- Neoika on 07/01/2016 - 21:30
  
  Same as Wish eGift Card,you haven't used it before?
  
  Coles one is more handy as you can scan the barcode instead of manual input.
cj3 on 07/01/2016 - 21:28

Does the barcode work at check-out if you scan it from your phone?

  Confirmed it scanned successfully from Stocard App.

Kudos to Target for honouring this deal, maybe is DSE honoured more pricing errors and looked after their customer base they would be in a better position now.

moo on 08/01/2016 - 01:28

What's the best approach for using the giftcard at Coles to buy another type of giftcard? Self check out?
- jkcat on 08/01/2016 - 09:29
  
  Not really. When you pay the machine will summon a staff to manually go through each gift card item. Then they'll probably stand by the side and watch you pay, unless you pick a really busy hour.
  - Neoika on 08/01/2016 - 09:36
    
    Staff only need to approve the transaction and then walk away.Unlike Woolies system,no further action like swiping the cards needed.
    - jkcat on 08/01/2016 - 09:48
      
      If they don't walk away chances are they'd tell you off when you pull out your coles gift card. Happened to me twice.

I thought I'd just have to suck it up and accept that I didn't get the discount, but without even contacting Target I just received this email:

- argonide on 12/01/2016 - 19:34
  
  You can check the balance here. The card number to check the balance ignores the first 13 numbers and starts with 6.
  
  If using the self serve, select eGift Card and scan the barcode or enter the entire card number on the screen including the first 13 numbers. You will then need to enter the PIN on the EFTPOS machine. If the balance on the card is less then your total, it will ask you to try again and only checkout the balance on the card.
  
  At a regular checkout, it's listed as a Digital Gift Card but the method is then the same.
- SydneySwan on 12/01/2016 - 22:06
  
  I scanned mine at the Coles self-serve checkout and it worked fine - just had to enter the pin manually.

This was posted 8 years 10 months 14 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
