          @rogsamsy:why these shop staff so hate people top up opal or myki?

          wasn't part of their shop product they available whoever come in should get normal customer service not amex discriminated attitude

        • kerfuffle on 03/12/2017 - 21:40

          @leehungfei: Usually because they try use multiple cards in the same transaction. The woman at Woolworths Town Hall hated me when I tried to do $160 Opal top ups as that was two transactions and took up more time. So now I either do $120 or go to Coles when they have the flybuys bonus points offers

        • shortgum on 04/12/2017 - 19:33

          @kerfuffle: There really nothing wrong with multiple amex cards top up.they just don't like you take advantage

          How do you top up Opal at woolies? Theres heap of place to top up in the Sydney city. Coles rarely have offers for opal top up

          +1

          @leehungfei: As someone who works in retail, I can tell you firsthand that using multiple cards in the one transaction is a time consuming process and can often lead to errors. So from your perspective, it may not be wrong, but from a sales assistant's perspective, it is time consuming, especially during busy times (which is why during the Vogue offer, I tried to encourage everyone to go when it's quiet).

          I top up at Woolies by going to the Opal counter at Town Hall? Why would I top up elsewhere in the city (and get slugged a surcharge) when I can get three points per dollar on my AMEX for topping up my Opal card at Woolies or Coles? Plus Coles keep slinging me flybuys bonus offers e.g. spend $50 and get 1000 points so I top up my Opal card at Wynyard (assuming I haven't reached the maximum Opal card limit of $250).

        • cynix on 05/12/2017 - 11:22

          @kerfuffle: Don't retail staff get paid by the hour? If I were them, I'd be happy to do something slowly (e.g. multi-card transactions) so I get paid for doing less work…

        • kerfuffle on 05/12/2017 - 11:31

          @cynix: Sure. But when you have a ton of work to do, especially at this time of year, the last thing you would want to be doing at work is to work slowly.

        • cynix on 05/12/2017 - 14:22
          +1

          @kerfuffle: I see. It seems inefficient to require customer-facing staff to do a ton of non-customer-related work though.

        • kerfuffle on 05/12/2017 - 14:55

          @cynix: I think some stores do have staff that are spefically for unpacking and filling, but other stores will have the sales assistants doing the unpacking and filling themselves while also serving customers.

        • auri on 09/12/2017 - 12:41

          @tveye:

          Went to Devonshire St today, Indian looking guy was great, knew straight away about Amex and the $10 cash back, but he said only one card allowed, and one transaction.
          Later on, changed to an Asian looking guy, and before I took out anything or said anything, he said Opal not working! BS, I think!

        • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2017 - 13:30

          @auri: it was an indian guy when i went there. so maybe they do have a faulty machine.

          @kerfuffle: Does Coles at Wynyard do Opal recharge? Coles where I go to in Top Ryde doesn't do it though Woolies does it in the same mall.

        • kerfuffle on 09/12/2017 - 22:57

          @virhlpool: They sure do! Skip the queues at the Opal machines on concourse level, head up the escalators to Coles and score FlyBuys points and hopefully those three points per dollar for supermarket spend on your AMEX!

          Yeah, Coles doing Opal are rare compared to Woolies doing Opal.

          +1

          @kerfuffle: Mine is Amex Essential though, so points may be different/ lower. But, Flybuys make sense.

          I generally use eGift card of Woolies for Opal recharge, thereby save 5% which is probably a better saving if Coles doesn't have 1000 Flybuys points for $50 spend on for me.

        I can't seem to find a list of eligible locations (if one even exists). Even if my phone has location turned on, the deals show city locations.

          I checked that Edmondson Park 7-Eleven that was listed on the Opal retailers list and just tried my luck. Didn't bother trying to see if it was listed as a participating retailer in the AMEX app

          I'm at home in south-west Sydney and just checked to see if local ones were showing up on the AMEX app and they are.

        • kerfuffle on 03/12/2017 - 18:22

          Well you're welcome to enter to see if you win but I'm pretty sure the terms and conditions state that you have to pay with eftpos cheque or eftpos savings. Eftpos stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale.

    Just wondering how many split transactions 7-11 allow? I want to get a 7-11 gift card using 5 cards to buy a $60 gift card . My local 7-11 said they can only split over 2 cards per transaction . I was wondering if he just said that cause he didn’t want to deal with more cards . Anyone else tried something similar ?

    • MathNerd on 04/12/2017 - 17:16

      I've only tried a 2-card split myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if they can do larger splits, it's a matter of how much effort the person wants to put in. Remember how much they're getting paid for this….

        I split a $60 transaction over three cards. I asked the cashier to put $15 on four cards, she said "yep sure". But the system would only allow three. So I ended up $15 on two cards and $30 on another. Annoying that I have to go back now to use the last credit.

    I was also advised that they cannot do multiple payments for large value gift cards, so I was limited to $15 gift cards.

        • maverick1 on 11/12/2017 - 11:16

          Would you know if one could pay for the prepaid visa card using the 711 card?
          I am thinking of buying a $100, 711 card split over 6 cards..and then use it to buy $100 prepaid visa - which would help avoid buying 2X50 cards, assuming if I were to use 3 cards ea for $50 card.
          But as 711 doesn't allow more than 2 or 3 split payments - I also wanted to check if the 711 card could be topped up?..i.e. for ex store 1 - make 2 transactions for $15 ea and then repeat the process at store 2 or comeback to store 1 at a later time..
          If you have the offer on multiple cards then finding a way to buy $100 visa GC would be more cost effective instead of buying 2X50 cards…
          I don't shop from 711 at all, so don't see any use of 711 GC and their fuel seems to be expensive (outlets around my place)..cheers

    Topped up Opal at Newslink Central Station Country Terminal, can split payment up to three times. Amex email came instantly. 7-11 North Ryde can split payment two times but Opal top up $10.00 or $20.00.

    • Purple on 06/12/2017 - 13:54

      Inside the Terminal or outside the Terminal? Are you using one card for split payment or 3 cards? I went there last week to top up at Newslink Central Outside Terminal (after the exist gate), the lady who saved me will not let me split payment.

        I get these "on the spot made up" or "I'm the manager and hate my job and I want to make everyone's life miserable" rules all the time with other places too eg woolworths, Harvey Norman, Australia post

        I could sit there and argue my valid point. But it won't get me what I want so I simply laugh at them and walk out and visit another store

          so I simply laugh at them and walk out and visit another store

          Lol so what's their reaction when you laugh? Do they get even more agitated?

          @montorola:
          In all my experience I don't think one of them has ever cared

    there is way to get round dealt with attitudes from 7-11 staff. just buy gift card $15 from one store with one amex then visit another store or go next day top up the card $15 with another amex. no parties feel piss this way

      Can you top up a 711 gift card?

      • PissLUR on 11/12/2017 - 14:17

        yes

        • JIMB0 on 11/12/2017 - 14:48

          Will they let you buy a visa giftcard with it?
