$5.95 purchase fee applies on the VISA, so this offer in effect gives you $4.05 free. Enjoy :)
Edit 20/6: Thanks to durd0008 - May exclude WA as it's not listed in the WA catalogue.

Okay, you said "each flybuys" in your original comment so that's why I thought you'd bought multiple cards on the one account. It sounds like you're on the right track for the points on the Visa 1 promotion. I doubt you'll get triple points on the visa 1 cards but I could be wrong.
"Points awarded after savings, discounts and vouchers (excludes all gift cards, iTunes cards and smoking/tobacco product purchases)."
That's the small print from my current triple points offer. Visa 1 cards count as a gift card.
[@pointscrazy]@Neoika:
You both are right. I just quickly checked my history and realized GC purchased were excluded from Triple Points. Thank you for pointing out. Anyways, we still get points from purchasing GC, that's much better than WW Reward.
Yes - did 2 and got 4000 points (2000 from cattle dog and 2000 from targeted email)
Not always. It's better value if for example you're using a Plat Edge card, thereby making 3 points per dollar on $105 instead of $55, but the underlying bargain in this deal - $4.05 for free - doesn't change, and is in fact half as good in percentage terms.
Blatchy's Blues have Coles gift cards at a discount @ 5%
With a cc fee of like 1 or more %'s
Or pay by direct deposit. No fee.
no points though!
I think it's only 4% or so now. On AGL rewards, it's still 5%. If you are on AGL that is.
Reduced to 4.5% now, if done via bank deposit. Stocking up as my free Blatchy's Blues membership ends in 1 month.
Is there a limit on how many you can buy ?
1 per flybuy household
Sigh, and I only just paid for the 12 month subscription at $48 via the PlayStation Store. FML.
It doesn't say anywhere in the terms and conditions the value of the Visa card or the PSN card that needs to be purchased to get the 2000 flybuy points.
Good point.
I suppose seeing the ad shows a 50card, that must be the one needed.
Some confirmation would be good.deal updated:
2,000 Bonus Flybuys (Worth $10) on Any Only 1 VISA Gift Card or Sony PlayStation Store Gift Card @ Coles
Can anyone in WA confirm? Would like to get a PS card for the hubby :)
It was available at my local Coles (Garden City, WA) with signage up on gift card stands outside the service counter.
Also got an email through FlyBuys and activated that offer to be safe.
awh i didnt get an email :(
If you get the email and also the catalog offer, does it mean you can buy 2 gift cards?
I'm not sure, but I would err on the side of caution and say the offer is still one per Flybuys household as usual.
I would call up and check if I were you
No, only one per flybuys household
buy 1 gift card and qualify for both offers. that's how it works usually.
@citygal: give them a call and confirm. Work's too busy to do that right now (of course not busy enough to be on ozbargain!).
not afaik - it's the same offer, so you should on receive 2000pts, but considering you activated the flybuys direct email afterwards, you could argue for another 2000pts, depending upon terms and conditions
I have called.
Flybuys CS says you should be entitled for another 2000 pts because the first one is store wide and the second one requires you to activate it. Just spoke to them. So I personally will buy another one on Monday.
If you'd like to confirm, then pls call them on 131116 and share here :)
@tajid: woops, i didnt get an email but it was in my coles mastercard app. How long does it take for the bonus points to enter your account?
Signage also seen at Coles Southlands Boulevarde, Willetton and Coles Kardinya in WA.
For those who would like to buy the ONLY 1 Visa card, better have a look at the product review here.
thanks, I was about to get this today but I decide not get it after reading the review.
Thanks…will hold onto my receipt…the benefit of being with Coles is you can prove it.
I've used a few of these and had no issues, but usually get them from Woolies.
Just remember the following tips.
Using card at an EFTPOS terminal you swipe (not insert), select Credit, press Enter when it asks for PIN (as there's no PIN), then sign the receipt (or draw a picture).
Using card online, the card name is GIFT CARDHOLDER.
Using it for ongoing direct debit, you may get a ~$1 hold placed on the card.
Some direct debit facilities don't like these cards. I had trouble using it in the My Maccas app recently.I had trouble checking the balances at one point, but you can check the balance via phone for 1$ fee (i know, how dare they)
But if you got a full card, or you keep track of your spending, you don't need the balance checking thing.
And I always keep the receipt lol.
I didn't use it for retail purchase, however, I use it to purchase woolworths egiftcard via cashrewards and topup my iinet account.
Simple, easy, no problem at all.
You just did it now?
yes, I did. $47.15 egiftcard. $2.85 iinet topup, perfect
Your card will be activated approximately 24 hours after purchase. Attempts to log in and check funds balance before this time may result in the card becoming invalid.
@Turd: I got my card last night, it's less than 24hrs after purchase and no problem at all to use it this morning.
I just received a targeted offer that is exactly the same as this offer in my email asking me to activate the offer on the Flybuy website. Does it mean I can get 2 gift cards (1 from catalog and 1 from targeted email)? T&C says 1 per household but it's from different source so I'm confused.
Edit: Email says $30 or more for Visa gift card tho. Catalog says any value. So can I buy 2 cards?
Either 2 cards ? Or buy 1 and get 4000 points ?
I just received the email AFTER buying the gift card
Tricky
haha same question..
From previous offers it is only applied once.
They only sell 50 or 100 value cards anyways so saying more then 30 is same as any value.
Coles CS says you should be entitled for another 2000 pts because the first one is store wide and the second one requires you to activate it. Just spoke to them. So I personally will buy another one on Monday.
If you'd like to confirm, then pls call them on 131116 and share here :)
i've never tried buying a 2nd card, but buying just one card never receives bonus points twice afaik
Termins and conditions:
It doesnt say "To qualify for this offer you must activate this offer and present your flybuys card at the time of purchase."
It says " To qualify for this offer you must present your flybuys card at the time of purchase."
Thus it is not targeted, and "activating" it doesnt mean anything really except to make you feel like you have done something.
mate there 2 offers here. First one doesn't require activation, second one does… You are only emphasising on the difference between the 2 offers!
I have. It was sitting in my offers and doesn't mean anything unless activated.
While the one that TA shares is a storewide offer that you don't need to activate, you just need to scan your flybuys.
@tajid: Oh So your offer says - "To qualify for this offer you must activate this offer and present your flybuys card at the time of purchase."
?
@Turd: No but you would never be qualified for any of these targeted offers if you do not activate it and the CS emphasised that given you are targeted you should be entitled to get another one if you activate it. AGAIN TARGETED!
Also ignore the fact that there's a storewide offer right now. If you have a targeted flybuys offer, do you or do you not need to activate it to actually get the bonus points? And there will be no mention of oh you need to activate this offer first….
@tajid: Previous offers of similar type I bought two cards, one before activating it, and one after activating an offer and only got one set of points.
Just from my experience.
Just because it says activated can mean nothing, read the t&cs (small print).
It's not targeted it's a side wide thing.The offer is the same. If it was a targeted offer in the t&c's it would say "activate offer".
The CSR doesnt really know anything. or reads t&c's.
Thank you for sharing your previous experience. There are times that these offers are not tracking like my Android pay 4,000 points didn't track. I had to actually call. So that could be the case.
Would love to know if anyone's flybuys account does not have this offer though.
I understand that CSR sometimes doesn't know and I'd just think given they've confirmed then if I don't get the extra 2,000 pts I can say CS confirmed, look at the record.
@tajid: No point worth trying purchase another card risking no 2000 bonus pts in same account. I would just pick up a new card and process this way if you want another lot of 2000 pts. but good on you if you want to challenge it.
never good experience dealing with flybuys customer service. IMAO
I can confirm you will get extra 2000 points (total 4000 points) if you receive an email that has the similar offer as the catelog.
Basically I bought one visa gift card with the catalog offer and got 2000 points. Then I received a targeted email about the same offer. I activated the email offer after I bought the first gift card. Then I bought the 2nd card 2 days ago and another 2000 points just came through today. So I received 4000 points in total.
Not sure if it'll work the same if you activate the email offer before you buy the 1st first gift card though.
When they ran a similar promo on the Coles Gift MasterCards, they had a 2000 point catalogue offer and I got a 2000 point targeted offer. I activated first, then bought 1 card and only got 2000 points. I think the wisdom from that thread was to buy one, then activate, then buy another. Upthread there's a discussion about the visa cards being a bit dicey to use, but if I can convert my first one to a Woolies eGiftCard in time for my targeted offer then I'll buy another and see if it works.
I think the wisdom from that thread was to buy one, then activate, then buy another.
Got targeted "When you spend $30 or more on Only 1 Visa or Playstation Store Gift Cards." Would that be stackable to the storewide offer?
no
For what it's worth I actually got 8k points from two giftcard purchase just because I argued that both offers even though they look the same are totally different.
how did you argue that they're totally different?
I said one is a nation wide offer and one is targeted and involves a certain spend amount
afaik the one requiring activation is actually sent to all flybuys members
so even though one can't buy a gift card <$30, you argued that any vs $30+ is different, when effectively it isn't?
So a $50 PSN card @ Coles is literally $40 after 2000 flybuy points redeemed for $10 groceries
However what is the lowest value PSN card you can buy for getting the 2k points?
$30 :)
Thanks!
Not sure if I can use Coles Egift Card to purchase Only 1 visa card?
I wasn't allowed to but I have purchased other gift cards with coles e-gift card previously.
i have previously iirc
THanks, wasn't allowed means the staff there didn't allow you to do it or the system did?
The system did and then the staff came and stopped me. I'm not sure if it's just this one or they;ve upgraded their system as I've done it before buying other giftcards with Coles egift card in the past.
Thanks!
Yes I did.
Anyone has tried to transfer the visa 1 to Coles reloadable card before?
Will not work
oh wow this card is issued by indue, same shit company who issued Coles reloadable card
Just used mine to pay Internode. Waited the full 24+ hours, then had no issue.
For those who are still unsure of buying the Only1 Visa gift card, I just bought the gift card today, used it to pay at a cafe and the $15 for $20 Caltex Star Cash Card at Groupon. Smooth and easy transactions.
Activation happened within 2 hours. Balance easily checked via https://www.only1giftcard.com.au
Would pick up a couple more of the Visa gift cards tomorrow:)Bonus 2000 points only applies once per household.
Do you need to activate the offer???
Edit: never mind should have looked at the second page of the commentscan u buy the giftcard with flybuys dollar? because the checkout lady offfered me to use the 10 dollar
Depends on the operator, you arent supposed to allowed to do it.
Yes,you can use $10 instant off and get bonus 2000 pts,but not flybuys EFTPOS payment.
i bought the $50 visa card on 23 June 2017 and swiped my flybuys card but the 2,000 points have not arrived yet :(
@pointscrazy:
Sorry my bad, i bought one per flybuy as i had two flybuy accounts. Fortunately, i got triple points for big purchased, so i added more 300 bonus points for each flybuy.
[@tveye] No i went from Coles World Square Sydney, Burwood and Greenarce. You might wanna ask the staffs or walk around the store as they display the giftcard everywhere in store.
