      Franchises. They get hit with the card fees but may not benefit from the sale if the gift card/s are spent at other locations.

      I wasn't too happy the last time I took up an AMEX/HN offer. It was the $300 get back $100 one? I didn't even try to buy a gift card. Ordered an item online but I think it was a seconds. It was only after the plumber had installed when we both realised it. I Googled for complaints on this item from people who also bought at HN and it appears HN were knowingly selling a dodgy item for months.

      ts AMEX thats forking out the $100 isn't?

      No, it would be a $ split between Amex and Harveys… who knows the %s , but it makes no sense for Amex to essentially give free advertising and kick backs to Harveys.

      The majority would be Harvey $, hoping to come out ahead on the average spend/profits.

    Does anyone know can you buy the HN GC and after the promotion use the GC to buy the Visa Prepaid? Possible?

    • Purple on 08/11/2017 - 09:56

      No. HN will not allow you. I tried to do it in the previous promotion, HN said NOT ALLOW.

  • makmak on 07/11/2017 - 22:14

    I've got 2 Amex cards enrolled in the offer. If I split a single item $1000 purchase between the 2 cards will I get the $100 credited to both cards or just 1? Am I better off trying to buy a HN gift card with 1 card and paying the remaining amount of purchase with my other Amex? Thanks.

      Is this physical prepaid visa gift cards? What about Vpay?

        they both are loaded on the same ePay machine

        • lilkid28 on 08/11/2017 - 10:25

          Ah, combined with your comment yesterday, that means it's really nationwide that they have blocked all ePay machines? I was thinking of driving 25kms out to a HN to get more transactions done.

    As a HN employee speaking from experience with this offer, we don't necessarily care too much about the T&C's of this offer but we do warn people that there a potential limitations when purchasing certain products (eg. Apple and Gift Cards etc.), purely up to the customer at the point. There is a fair amount of respectful fairplay appreciated with the purchasing though. Once had my manager decline a disgustingly rude customer who tried to price match us with "thin air" (said JB HI FI had a price that they actually didn't). After a whole debacle in which the customer got a quote from JB for a price, we accepted the price match, only to be told he will be paying on five seperate AMEX cards. At that point my manager refused his business. So lesson learned, either play it coy or don't be a dick about it!

    • FBOD on 08/11/2017 - 13:53

      Thanks for your info. Could you please let us know why HN no longer sell Prepaid Visa Card and vpay card using Amex card after the Amex offer started?

    Garden city Mt gravatt has refused any &all sort of gift card if using Amex to buy.
    But asked the lady at cashier of I buy a $2000 item and she checked with manager that they will accept multiple Amex split payment as long as you buy there and no refunds or change of mind.

    They want their business and money so will accept multiple Amex I guess

      Well done. Don't think they can flat out refuse any refunds though (like for faulty goods), that would be against ACL I'm pretty sure.

        They're allowed to refuse change of mind (unless they have a published policy otherwise).
        "No refunds" could get them in hot water though.

    I went to Chadstone and Moorabbin today hoping to get some visa gift cards but no luck. I was told they don't carry them. Amex was not even mentioned. I have registered my 7 cards luckily. Do you think if we wait a couple of weeks they may start selling them again?

  • sylvester328 on 08/11/2017 - 14:00

    With HN's great effort to stop people from buying GC using AmEx at the cashier, one conclusion I think I can draw: once you get the transactions through then no matter you are getting all sort of excluded items, such as GC, Apple gear, etc, cashback is guaranteed and they can't do anything about it. Otherwise, they can just relax, happily sell you the stuff and then deny all cashbacks for those items.

    Just an FYI for anyone wondering, the credit did not work for me when I put an order through on the Harvey Norman Business & Education portal via Cashrewards - didn't receive the "You've just used your Offer" email and didn't want to risk waiting too long, so emailed to cancel the order shortly after. The transaction came through as "Harvey Norman Business and Education" on my card, so it must be processed and recognised separately from the normal online store.

        Correct. Showed as a pre auth first. Then a refund. Then the transaction. Then the credit! That will teach Harvey to be stupid about not selling GCs via Amex!

    Just gave a pre-order of iPhone X today using AMEX split over 4 cards paying in full. Wonder if screen insurance will be a problem? But all emails received successfully and hopefully no problems. Not sure when they will have stock but don’t mind waiting especially when there’s a potential saving of this amount. Lady was first refusing to split with 4 cards, but when I asked why she couldn’t give a valid reason and then did the split payments anyway. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

I purchased them on Monday and Received the credit today (although I note that on some of the accounts, it looks like I got it on Wednesday but I know from snapshots I took that it really was not there on that day. I assume it was 'there' but in the background being processed from a system perspective.

    • nalumi5 on 10/11/2017 - 14:47

      Is HN Sunshine still selling Prepaid Visa Gift Card or it’s been stopped nationwide as others mentioned?

      • danielh on 10/11/2017 - 16:50

        I think it would have stopped by now. I mentioned in my original post near the top of Page 1 that you needed to get in pretty quick to be able to score these deals (as well as select slightly more regional HN centers) and I think that as per what usually happens, Head Office shuts down the Prepaid VISA option for a while but I think you might still get lucky with the odd HN Gift Card at other stores.

        • danielh on 10/11/2017 - 20:20
          +4

          The reason why I ask is because sometimes the HN/Domayne furniture stores swap around POS terminals and so some people get Domayne receipts which are not valid.
          As you got normal HN ones I would just make sure you kept a copy of your CC receipt and just scan and send a copy to Amex. Will be looked into within two business days.
