Do any of them take AMEX?
do you think worth a punt to get $50 vanilla card? can't see anything mention $100 on smaller print. I sure take a $50 card as it is 4.05/50 than a 4.05/100. buy two $50 get double profit percentage.
Read the bold font in the middle of the pic. Applies to $100 card only.

thanks TA! this will feed my Google Music very well!
$2.50 charge applies to the card each month after 6 months
Thanks for heads-up. Seeing your comment I googled and found this.
So, if anyone here buys this, just be sure to use it up quick.
(Note: my search was a quick one - did not check to see if they have different terms for the cards here, as opposed to US.)
This term was on the back of the pack - was surprised - will catch people out I am sure. I try and use mine in the first couple of months anyway but worth noting…
excludes coles express but i've only seen the vanilla visa at coles express so far…
Thanks to commenter above, a warning the vanilla gift card may have fees each month, after 6 months if not used up. So I checked the Only One Visa Card, since I have one.
It does not look like the Only One Visa has such a term, according to this - in case anyone has any, and is wondering.
How long can I use the Visa Gift Card?
Your Visa Gift Card expires on the date printed on the front of the card or when the remaining value reaches $0. When your Visa Gift Card expires, the card account will be closed and any unused balance will be forfeited. When the balance reaches zero, or it expires, the Visa Gift Card should be destroyed by cutting it diagonally in half.No mention of such a fee, unless I missed out anything.
I still have unused ANZ Coles Voucher last time. So purchase this deal with the giftcard to get the ~$4 bucks in real savings amount? Is that the worth the trouble? Any better way?
Probably not worth the trouble. If you in Sydney, totally a no, tried number of coles none of them even have any value vanilla visa cards. If it is a $50 card, yes maybe worth effort as it is better % return. but not $100 as you only get 4% flybuy money. Not even talk about challenges on meeting stubborn operators about giftcards issues. also based on comment above $2.50 fee after 6 months. So sure will give it a miss
i use them to pay the ato. some like the hn ones are a pain to check balances as you cant seem to do it as it asks for a 4 digit passcode and i dont feel very comfortable calling up every time giving them my card number as i dont trust the operator may use it/. do you need to activate the offer in fly buys account first?
I use them to pay charities
VANILLA Out of stock West Ryde, and Epping :( I am writing to Coles/Flybuys. There is a limit of one card per customer and so it is difficult to see how they could sell out by noon on the first day if they had started with reasonable stock.
Most Coles do not have stock.I think it is a clear-out sale.
I went to 2 Coles and couldn't find any Vanilla card.
Was at Coles Tooronga on Tuesday (before the promotion start date). About 6 there. This morning at 8am, after buying two, 1 left.
According to Choice, “This is called bait advertising because it uses a low price (Or Good Deal) to get customers into the store. Businesses should have reasonable stocks of items that are advertised. If they are only available for a limited time, this should be made clear. “
No Vanilla Card in Adelaide
I was hoping that there would be some available in Adelaide :(
Just wondering if you have called and ask around? :)
Not all of them. But I went to 5 in the eastern/northeastern suburbs (Newton, Firle, corner of Muller Rd, Gilles Plane and city) and there were none. Although the ad banner was there, the staff appeared clueless about the card. I then thought the banner is there because of the Google Play cards that they had in stock.
Other branches may have it tho.
These Vanilla cards are chock a block full at Coles Express but they're exluded. This is going to be like the last Visaa/EFTPOS offer where the complaints came in and the stores finally ordered in stock but only after the promo had ended.
I went to Coles near Central Market today and there were a few Vanilla GC there… just in case you are still looking for them :)
@birdnw: oh..thank you! Will go there tomorrow, hopefully they still have it. Sorry if my first comment above kept you on hold.
Sneakily Coles, and Flybuys do not have email addresses on their 'Contact Us'. Only phone numbers and mailing addresses. I have written to both. They have lost credibility with me for sure.
You can send a message to Flybuys after you click NO to the question"Was this answer helpful?"
I received a phone call today from Coles West Ryde (Obviously letter received at HQ) and lady said that if I drive there they can sell me a Vanilla Card! $4.05 profit less petrol money……nah not worth it. And so she said that next time I am there to ask for her and she will give me some coles coupons. WTF - Coupons!!?? Maybe triple points for my next shop !!
Does Coles software allow for an Only 1 Visa card to be used as payment for a Vanilla Visa card?
i see why not
Virtually every Cole's I've been to in vic has heaps of them.
I have two fb cards so can buy two.However if the one per household is not enforced (unlikely) I am going to go on a mad shopping spree
Which store did you go to?
went to mentone,
doncaster westfield
southland
and box hillthey had a decent amount yesterday
(and no, I only bought 1)
Yeah, wondering which stores? I went to a couple at Rowville & Narre Warren. Nada.
i had to ask the store manager to look for them. i seen them hidden on the top metal shelf of the gift card rack. just lift the metal lid if not locked and have a look in there or ask them to look in there. they seem to have limited stock and hadn't even put them out. i paid for one and grabbed 4 for later on at carindale about 10 left hidden. ref POS had to pay for in full amount no splits allowed via android pay using self serve check out, disappointed i couldnt use the many $40 coles gift cards i got for the amex promo to pay for it. tip maybe just grab them from coles express and walk out and pay for them at coles lol.?
No trace of Vanilla Visa gift card at Coles Willetton, WA. Counter staffs don't have a clue on the card or promo. Gave some lame reasons and a confused look to avoid searching for them. Hope that Woolies would run the same promo as I have better experience with staff at Woolies.
Managed to purchase one. I checked to see if bonus had applied. Not yet they usually take a few days.
But on the statement it said points earned 2.
Any idea why I got two points?
plenty of stock at Coles Wellington St, Launceston TAS
Any in WA?
does anyone know if you need to activate this offer online first? only 1 off my seperate address accounts had the offer online but i had already purchaed instore before clicking on activate offer on flybuys website, hope i still get the points?
from previous deal, u can get 4000 points in total.
That's all for anyone. Do not need to activate. I bought 4 cards & got 8K flybuy points already.
All on the same FB account or do you have 4 accounts?
4 account, difference name.
