Very sad to see the fees going up from $5.95 to $6.95
as well as the bonus dropping from 2000 to 1000 points
seems everything is getting devalued these days
no mention of limits, so im going to take a guess and say there is no limits
Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to buy anyway
Ill admit this deal isnt going to be popular with everyone, but i know people who will stock up on it
1000 points = 5$
so it is actually even worse
2000 points is $10
So you pay $6.95 to make $5?
Amex to visa = Not really worth but maybe
eGift cards to visa (where still accepted) = $96.60 for $100
For months i have not seen or experienced or heard any place that has accepted egift to buy only 1 visa cards,
happy to be proven wrong
Local store does, 5606
@Samsungnote10: Just a warning; takes legitimately 1-2 minutes per a card in processing times. Also staff do have to confirm the purchase, but it's more a prompt telling them to confirm the cards have activated correctly after transaction is finished. The prompt is BEFORE you even select a payment method, so isn't really an issue at all.
@[Deactivated]: Staff came over to tell me to take cards to staff-assisted checkout because of the 2 min delay messing with their operation. So, he happily cancelled before payment and took the cards to the counter.
Also, 2-min delay gives the unsuspecting ones plenty of time to think and at one time onE of them went and consulted with 3 different staff. So, I had to explain everything 3 times. Took me over 1 hour to come out with 10 cards! Could have enjoyed a nice afternoon at the beach!
Never again!
@[Deactivated]: Lol, I had similar except the staff were all apologising, including the manager… Was even offered a free drink while they tried to sort it (this was before I/they knew ~2 minutes a card is normal. I did 5 cards).
Pay with the edge and get 300 points, which costs $1.95
Good for gifts
The limit is usually max ten cards per account
Saving of -$1.95.

It’s almost as if they don’t want us to take advantage of / ozbargain them anymore.
You are paying more to get less.
It's a deal because you partially rebated the fee through points. Some people may want an anonymous card or privacy reasons or a gift.
or to get AMEX qualifying spend and points where you can only pay with VISA. Although usually these deals are worth $10 and reimburse the fee totally.
Save on the packaging and plastic, and use $100 cash instead.
For those that say no deal, the people that are buying this are essentially buying points at a decent price. Its actuallt a decent deal but not a screaming bargain
The problem might be the activation fee. Many cards instore still display $5.95 fee. It is possible no points will be given from these $5.95 fee cards. It happened when the EFTPOS cards' fee increased.
Definitely. I would bet anything the 5.95 ones are excluded
Buying 800 points for $6.95 is reasonable but not fantastic
Sorry it’s 740 points
Where did you get those figures from?
I just bought a card and the purchase fee was $5.95, i think there is a misprint on the advertising. All cards on the rack had $5.95 purchase fee.
So you got 1k pts for one card purchase?
Yeah 1k points for one card purchase.
Can you confirm you received the points, please. As hellohello123 said above, and has been mentioned before on other threads, that the cards with $5.95 fee would not get the bonus points.
Town hall isn’t accepting eGC for prepaid visas. Any woolies in Sydney still accept eGC for visas?
I got some wierd number.
I bought 6, for $635.70, and I got 6360.00 pts.
I get the 6 x 1000, but I don't know where the rest 360pts come from.
With eGC?
Nope, paid by card
I think it could be the Christmas Bonus:
3X POINTS every time you spend $50 or more in one shop*
5X POINTS every time you spend $100 or more in one shop*
** 10X POINTS every time you spend $150 or more in one shop* **
Still need to wait & confirm
The system just set at 10 times points for $105.95 amount spent.
10*105.95=1060
1000 points = $10
$10-$6.95 fee = $3.05
Better off buying $100 gift voucher with 5% off?
