    If I have registered and my girlfriend has the same card numbers but the card has her name on it, if she uses her card instead of mine will the credit work? I know the card numbers are the same but wasnt sure whether the system recognises a different name and doesn't accept it.

    • Coops1 on 06/11/2017 - 13:42

      Looks like you have a CBA Amex supplementary card? I believe the supp uses the same number as the main card. If that’s correct you will only be able to register and get 1x offer. Same for any of the Amex offers as well eg shopsmall etc. If you have NAB as an example, the Amex card numbers are different. Hope that helps.

    Guys how does this Amex cashback work? Is it one use per card? Is there an Amex surcharge for purchases?

    • lovepub on 06/11/2017 - 13:06

      One use per card. No surcharge at Harvey

      • Viospeed on 06/11/2017 - 13:52

        So would u be eligible to use the cashback offer for a different item at a different retailer?

        • Friendly Troll on 06/11/2017 - 20:16

          The terms state this offer is only available for purchases at Harvey Norman.

          You must first save this offer on your American Express card by visiting the American Express offer webpage. You will enter your name, card detail and email address.

          If your purchase is successful, you will get an email immediately saying that the offer was redeemed. The $100 credit will appear in your credit card account.

    Xbox One X launches tomorrow 649 @ HN or 549 with Amex, or 449 with two cards? Assuming they have stock in store tomorrow as you can't split pay online..

      You can only use 2 cards when price exceeds $800, i.e. 2 x $400

      • ozlegacy on 06/11/2017 - 15:30

        Thanks for pointing that out didn't appreciate you had to have two lots of 400

  • D2Rflex on 06/11/2017 - 13:26

    Can anyone find any holes in this plan.

    3 X amex cards to buy 400+ on a prepaid visa on each card in store (pending them accepting Amex for gift cards)

    Use the visas at eb games (plus trading in an old console for the S) and use the remaining prepaid balance on some bills.

    • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 13:32

      No issues with that plan. The Prepaid Visa cards work at any place that accepts Visa card.

        • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 14:05

          No. They were $25, $300 and $500 for me at the HN Sunshine (VIC) I went to.

          @danielh:

          Do you know what if the terminals require a pin if you use Apple Pay?

        • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 14:30
          +1

          @easternculture: Yeah, considered that but didn't want to annoy the nice girl who was processing seven of them for me. Would have possibly saved $5.95 but was not worth the grief and risk them deciding to not allow it because of the hassle.

          Took 20 mins alone to do it on our side.

          At the end of the day, it is a VISA card and so I could use it effectively anywhere and so having an additional $100 on these cards was not a hassle to me in the long run.

        • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 14:32

          @nightelves: No clues on this. I do not have an ANZ account but I do know that the HN Sunshine terminal accepted ApplePay. I'm assuming you were going to do some sort of borrow a friends ApplePay thing and tap it there on their behalf?

        • nightelves on 06/11/2017 - 14:37

          @danielh:

          No I'm doing it for supplementary cards and don't want to have to remember what pin each of my family member uses. It's a lot quicker also. Found out on Amex you don't need a pin. Makes paying for them a lot easier and faster as well.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 06/11/2017 - 15:01

          @easternculture:

          Can I please ask which store sell vpay in NSW?

        • lovepub on 06/11/2017 - 16:09

          @nightelves:
          Just write the pin at the back of card.
          Surely you can scramble the pin a bit which is unguessable.
          Back to front. Or mix them up with other numbers in between or front and back.

          Impossible to guess

        • nightelves on 06/11/2017 - 16:29

          @lovepub:

          Apple Pay you don't need pin. Much easier as some stores ask if this card is yours and want proof of ID

  • cintamami on 06/11/2017 - 14:33

    Hi everyone

    just a quick check, if we have another supplementary card on the same account, will that do as well? so I can use 2x $100 on the same account pretty much?

    Thank you.

    • lovepub on 06/11/2017 - 16:10

      Huh???

      You need to spend $400. Not 2*$100

      • cintamami on 06/11/2017 - 16:40

        I meant, if the item price is $1,000 and I use my card plus my wife's supplementary card.

        Will I get $200 or just $100?

        Cheers

        • ATreeFiddy on 06/11/2017 - 17:14

          Are the card numbers different? If not, as registration is by card number, you'll end up only being able to register once and get $100.

        • cintamami on 06/11/2017 - 18:06

          @ATreeFiddy:

          Yes, it is different :).

  • AnDyStYLe on 06/11/2017 - 14:55

    Just got 4x $500 VISA gift cards (physical) at HN Chadstone. Lovely girl at checkout very helpful. Shame she wasn't able to get the $1000 VISA gift cards to work so had to settle for $500. 4x $5.95 activation fee instead of 2x, oh well not complaining. AMEX emails came straight through after!

    Funnily enough, during that time the cashiers had a few phone calls querying physical gift cards, and had someone behind me wanting to grab the VPay gift card.

    Better get in quick and early else HN may start rejecting people when they cotton on. Can't see why they would, only that you may find they'll give you more of a hard time as they'll get sick of these transactions.

    Also, Nunawading and Knox only do VPay, no physical cards.

    YMMV good luck!!!

    • hanofee on 06/11/2017 - 14:59

      Do you have to ask to the cashier to get it? Was in Knox like an hour ago, but couldn't see any VPay paperpack (nor Visa cards) on the shelf

      • AnDyStYLe on 06/11/2017 - 15:15

        I'm not sure about that as I called. Guess you'll have to ask the cashier.

  • digitalane on 06/11/2017 - 15:05

    Did 3 separate orders online for $400 gift cards (2 x $200)

    1 went through fine, and received vouchers. Other 2 were declined.

    But got all 3 Amex credit emails so will see what happens.

    • SydOzber on 06/11/2017 - 15:08

      will get credit only for one.

      you can still redeem on the other 2 cards.

      • digitalane on 06/11/2017 - 15:24

        Last year I got the credits even though they refunded the orders!

        • SydOzber on 06/11/2017 - 15:29

    Looks like no store in WA has any visa gift cards. One even said they were being scammed too many times. This they stopped selling them.

    • No on 06/11/2017 - 15:45

        No go on any other gift cards.

    • yht on 06/11/2017 - 16:55

      Some sales just generalised it. Stores are franchised right ? So it is up to the individual store whether to sell or hide them during promotion. Not sure what do they referring to with scammed.

      • t25 on 06/11/2017 - 18:06

        That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Selling prepaid visa gift cards is no more risky than any other product sold by HN and paid for with credit card.

        • SBOB on 06/11/2017 - 18:27

          It's more likely less to do with scams, and more to do with the minuscule profit margin on pre paid visa cards

          A lot of credit card fraud involves buying giftcards. Some cashiers get really sus when buying multiple giftcards on credit.

        • t25 on 06/11/2017 - 19:18

          @SBOB: Business must be good when you choose to make nothing over minuscule margins.

          @t25:

          when this cashback promo is on, they would be making a loss on these kind of low profit items

          Im sure their plan is that 'on average' people will buy stuff thats profitable and hopefully drive some business..
          I couldnt care less about Gerry's profits, but its pretty easy to see why during these times they try and hide or reduce the sales on these pre-paid visa cards

        • t25 on 06/11/2017 - 22:04

          @SBOB: I definitely see where you are coming from. I also see it as foot traffic is always a good thing. Keeps your shop in the shopper's mind and who knows maybe a potential sale.

  • Mparadox on 06/11/2017 - 15:51

    I've posted once in reply to a comment above, but would rather have a more general response

    How is buying the visa gift card through this not considered a cash advance?

    It seems that this has been an issue in the past

    I'm happy to pay more but would rather not damage my credit score

    • danielh on 07/11/2017 - 07:18

      I guess it is similar to paying for a gift card like the Coles Myer ones.

    • Richfield on 07/11/2017 - 07:42

      Not sure what your credit score has to do with this. Likely because you can’t use the card to withdraw cash.

    • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 17:39

      That is a great deal! Was this at a particular HN or was it across the board?

      • drongodave on 07/11/2017 - 05:20

        I believe it was across the board. They only had the cheap installation offer for 5 days which finished yesterday. If you're interested it may be worth checking to see whether they can extend it.

    • danielh on 06/11/2017 - 17:43
      +1

      That is assuming your wife got that card because you told the bank to provide an extra set of Amex/Visa cards for her but you pay the bills.

      FYI. Only NAB and Amex itself give out supplementary cards which have unique numbers. The other two banks which have Amex (CBA and Westpac) do not so if you gave your wife a supplementary card via those two banks then you are out of luck as it would have the same card number.

      I think there might be a Domayne register issue with HN QV anyway so even if you were allowed, you would also have to check what POS terminal they did it on and hope that it was a HN one.

  • Gelato on 06/11/2017 - 18:08

    • zzyss on 07/11/2017 - 09:05

      Sure, have split payments before (and in theory part payment using a gift card should be bog standard). But depends on the store as to how friendly they are about it.
