      It just depends on your luck. I have to go to Coles at 6am this morning and can still buy $250 cards. Any stores has stock can be sold out within 5' after opening. You need to plan ahead.

      • johnmelb on 10/02/2021 - 13:19

        It seems lots of people are creating their luck by hiding them … anyway, not going to lower to that level.

    • Icy-Wolverine on 12/02/2021 - 00:14

      Ok, I stand corrected. Looks like there are some people able to get the $250 cards based off responses here. I'm yet to find any in Melbourne but you never know. Keep hunting those unicorns

    FYI, my son just found about a dozen $250 cards in the Marion SA Coles if anyone in local SA area needs some, we've bought all our budget will allow 😊 very happy now all utilities will be paid in advance with some change to do a very large shop 😊👍 thanks @tightarse this added about an extra $100 to my purse 😊 thank you again 😊

    • tunzafun001 on 10/02/2021 - 13:10

      Only $50's now at Marion. Technically could be more value than the others if used wisely. But $250 you can't lose.

      • cheap not nasty on 10/02/2021 - 13:31

        Sorry you missed out @tunzfun001on the $250's, if you want to go for a bit of a drive they had loads of $100 at the Parkholme store this morning. They weren't just in the purple packaging but also scattered in the pink packaging (which there were 3 pegs of). My first impression was the pinks were only for $50 but there were heaps of $100's when I looked through. A saving of $5.50 is still a saving :)

          Cheers, I rang around and got 3x $100's from the Coles down the road. They were light blue or purple packaging. More cards for first use promos is a bonus anyway. So will get at least another $60 value out of each. Promo goes for a few more days. Will try for a $250 later.
          Did manage to use my discounted e-gift cards to buy, so that's a bonus.

      Don't use it. They will just increase the minimum spend for all your future bonus points (which I think is the point of this whole promotion).

  • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2021 - 10:29

    Couldn't find any $250 ones but got a bunch of $100's. Idk if the whole ordeal was worth it but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️

  • Sven Viking on 10/02/2021 - 10:31

    Checked two Coles, one immediately after opening. One seemed to have no $250s but I found a few hidden behind the $100s. The other had only a few $50s left.

    No Coles Mastercards of any denomination at my local. Just a big empty gap where they usually are. I think the manager may have removed them all.
    Perhaps people were hiding them or generally doing dodgy things

      • affinity on 10/02/2021 - 11:27

        These cards are not listed above, so I wonder if they do give points as well. I was surprised that the TCN cards I got from Woolies counted towards a shop that got me bonus points, they were just another retail item. Hoping these GCs do get points, it will make the deal even better.

        • samehada on 10/02/2021 - 13:12

          you mean Woolies shop offer?

    • webtherapist on 10/02/2021 - 11:15

      not worth scanning it if you want to buy more of these cards than just 5, staff said no flybuys points added too and it is better to not scan flybuys :)

      • samehada on 10/02/2021 - 11:36

        the staff has no clue what he/she is talking about.

    I can tell you that Coles Knox (both of the Coles) didn't have $250 GC since yesterday (09/02/2021). I checked the freezer and some other places where I think people might be hiding the cards. I didn't find anything. My suspicion is they might have already been docked by the staff earlier that day.

    In another Coles, I saw plenty on the shelf 2 days ago but empty this morning. Again, checked the freezer, nothing came up. I even dog food area lol.

    Was fun in the end.

    • Dowhatuwant on 10/02/2021 - 11:14

      they could be hidden on any shelf behind expensive stuff that isn't on sale (i.e wont be noticed). Don't know why you'd assume freezer.

      • burningrage on 10/02/2021 - 13:26

        Coz another ppl in this forum said he found some in the freezer during his daily trip.

      exactly, those who complained are just plain noob and waiting to be spoon fed.

      I have found at least 3 shops with stock this morning but couldn't wake up earlier so I missed 2. The card is sold out within 5' after store opening. If you don't want to wake up at 5am go to the shop at 6am then just shut up and don't complain. For high demand items then of course you have to plan ahead.

      Same as any hot deal, sometimes it is luck, you can't win all the times.

  • endolphin on 10/02/2021 - 11:33

    It is worth mentioning, that the difference between the $250s and the $100s is really not that much…

    2 x $250 will cost $462.60 for $500 value
    5 x $100 will cost $472.50 for $500 value

    Less than $10 difference! So if you are sad to find $250s sold out but plenty of $100s, get a grip!

    (note that values above do not include additional discount using coles egift card).

    • affinity on 10/02/2021 - 11:34

      Take into account your only allowed 5 makes the $250's totally powerful for this promo

      Total of $66 more for 5 X $250 ( $93.50 profit ) vs 5 X $100 ( $27.50 profit ) . Only 3.4 times more :)

        How did you pass Math at school? You are comparing $1250 of gc vs $500 of gc and saying it is 3.4x more saving.

        • peter05 on 10/02/2021 - 14:53

          I think popsiee could have stopped at the percentage differences

          however they're not wrong, just simply that they presented the information in an unclear fashion.

          technically popsiee is correct IF you assume that you are limited to only 5 gift cards. Restating this condition would have made their data more valid and applicable.

          • samehada on 11/02/2021 - 01:10

            @peter05: everyone knows full well that you can get from different shop even if the limit is enforced per shop so to compare you need to compare with the same value of gc.

            So to use a lame excuse about limit to justify the wrong calculation is totally wrong.

    I went into two Coles supermarkets in Perth's north shortly after opening and none had $100 or $250 cards. Staff said $50s were all they had. False promo. They had loads of them last week.

    Just bought 5x $250 cards from Noarlunga SA. 8 left in stock. Lots of $100 and $50 there too.

    I actually broke the self checkout machine. When I crossed $1000 in scans the machine locked up and asked for a supervisor password. She entered the password, but then the machine asked if the cards are being used to falsely pay for scammers. She kept on clicking Yes, and then reentering her password. She did this about five times before I suggested clicking No. Well, the No button didn't work. I had to use a second checkout to complete the transaction.

      Good to know and noted stay under 1K at self checkouts . Normal checkouts is fine to be over .
      Woolies is stay under 1K (normal checkouts/ self checkouts ) during promos also to avoid the biz number crap .

      • Cluster on 10/02/2021 - 13:25

        I was also asked if the cards are for personal use, to which I truthfully replied yes. The supervisor later said it's to protect me. I was buying the maximum allowed so wasn't worried about the questions and extra hassle. But yes, if you want to avoid extra scrutiny keep the total under $1k.
