                  @toobzy: Yes it's better to buy the $100 card and get a 5% discount after paying the fee. I do not understand why they have this fee all the other physical GC do not. I would purchase a lot more of these other than for this and the limit of one per account.

                • aoiro on 07/01/2020 - 15:01

                  @toobzy: If you're getting the $5 fee back in the equivalent amount in points, it's misleading to frame it as a 5% or 10% fee because you always get back the 5% or 10% reimbursed, so it's actually a 0% fee either way.

                  (Obviously assuming you're valuing the 1000 points as $5 cash to keep it simple.)

                  So just get the card value that you need. Personally I prefer to have the smaller value as I just use these cards to sign up for streaming subscriptions or prepaid sim cards.

      for people who want to do illicit stuff or hide what they spend their money on other half or family? Maybe? I don't see a point of shelling out $55 to get $50 and $5 in flybuy points.

        good for making new accounts with some apps that take credit, or using them to sign up to subscription websites so they cant deduct all your money. i accidentally signed up to kogan first for a year. its $100!

        • toobzy on 07/01/2020 - 00:01

          These cards won't be accepted at 90% of the sites you need a subscription for. It detects as a prepaid card.

        • Yola on 07/01/2020 - 11:12

          I only buy these when they are 2000 points for $100. And only use Coles gift cards to purchase. That results in a 9% discount, after the fee, I think. I use them for paying medical bills and allied health providers who often do not accept Amex. This way I in effect use Amex and get a discount. I also pay my gas bill at the Post Office for Tango who do not accept Amex not even through Post Billpay. Many people do not know how to use them but you just swipe, select credit and enter pin. If I could get enough I would use them to shop at Coles as usually I can only access 4% off GC at Suncorp.

              @Craze: It has been reported on here by several people that you cannot at Woolwoths. It has also reported by many that you can at Coles. In my experience the system allows it at Coles but some operators refuse. There is one store in my area that will not do it but in another they will. Sometimes they tell me it will not work but when they try it does. In the self check out it has been reported you must use a GC that covers the full amount and this I have done. The supervisor has to come to verify and she had no problem. I try to pick a young, usually a student, casual who do not know better or do not care.

    For those buying these with discounted egift cards (which should be everyone), it makes more sense to buy the $100 ones.

    • knobbs on 07/01/2020 - 00:32

      How so?

      Assuming 5% discount

      $100 GC costs $105 = $99.75 cost = 99.75% cost for the money you get

      $50 GC costs $55 = $52.25 + $5 flybuys = $47.25 = 94.5% cost for the money you get

      Unless there is a bonus for the $100 card not listed in this deal?

      Interesting. So you get 2x flybuys by having 2 products (flybuys and Coles MasterCard) and you can pay by an alternative method (velocity wallet), not the Coles Mastercard, and still get 2x points?. Nice!

      • screensaver on 08/01/2020 - 15:20

        I have Coles Contents Insurance, and the premium was the cheapest, this gives me 2 x Flybuys points. I dont have any credit cards, just Qantas Cash and Velocity Wallet which both give some points per spend, and no fees. I also have HSBC 2% cashback card

        • Coops1 on 08/01/2020 - 16:57

          Cheers, wonder if you also had the Coles credit card, you get 3x points (3 products) paying with an alternative funding source.
