I have multiple VISA/Mastercard gift cards from when I used to buy prepaid gift cards with discounted Coles/WISH eGift cards with remaining balances ranging from $0.03 to $1.20 and am wondering how people deal with using these "leftover" cards?
Uses for Leftover VISA/MC Gift Cards

Min $5 for Woolies eGC, but OP did not keep the balance of an unused card over $4.75.
Don't think this is true. If I'm not sure if my balance I'll sometimes put through 1c purchase. The machine then tells you the eGC balance
I mean the min denomination of a Wish eGC for purchase is $5. A "leftover" card needs to have a balance of $4.75(or other depending on the discount) for this purpose.
Just post it to me and i will finish them for you
Agree. Just post it out and see where it got spent first:)

to charity. e.g. Myer, JB HiFiI like this idea - thanks!
Great idea - was wondering what to do with the $1.42 i had left on an old gift card
split payment, enter amount left on card……. card used up.
Last time I had a few of these I added the credit to my Amazon account - they used to accept credit from prepaid visa and it never expires in your Amazon account.
Split payment at Coles. Use the card only machine as they are much quicker when splitting payment than a cash/card machine. I wouldn't do it at Woolworths as when the card has no pin it makes you sign and the attendant must come and check the signature.
Otherwise use them to pay your bills online.
OP, you can still apply this hack as it help you cover over the 5% loss, eg. use the "3 cents as 5 cents".
U can still goto somewhere like woolies and split payment and use up the cents
On a separate note if you're buying wish giftcards from woolworths site (even thru CR) you don't need to buy in denominations of 50 or 100. Eg If your giftcard is $107.50 you can buy that amount (this is how I used up/recycled my discounter gift cards)
