Hi everyone,
Has anyone noticed a fee on their credit card after buying a gift card?
Apparently they are charged as a cash advance and incur fees!
Let me know if you have. I'm looking for someone to chat to TV about it.

I know gambling sites treat your credit card as a cash advance (and not a regular purchase).
lotterywest does it too!
Sportsbet did it too…
would buying scratchies incur a fee too do you think? I only experienced it with lotto tickets.

Don't you just make it up?
Sadly not, we need to find real life examples
You must be new there.
PayPal do this (without notice to the buyer or seller) if the seller tells them they sell gift cards or PayPal add gift card sales to their profile. If your the seller you can edit it in your account to remove the category from your profile to avoid your buyers credit card company billing then for a cash advance.
Has this happened to you personally? Or do you know someone who it has happened to? That would be really interesting!

I've bought a Bunnings gift card before and didn't notice a fee. Might need to keep an eye out on future. What store did you get charged at?
I think they're looking for someone who has experienced this (based on their comments).. although the wording in the OP suggests they themselves experienced it.
Ah Ok, thanks for clarifying :)
What store?
I haven't seen this with Woolies or cinemas.
