    Bought a $100 Mastercard Gift Card with a $250 Mastercard Gift Card. Could have done it heaps of times yesterday when they still had a bunch in stock but felt too weird about going back and forth. Oh well, my loss.

  • Cluster on 13/02/2021 - 02:17

    Coles Southgate Plaza (Reynella SA) has no cards of any type, with small signs apologizing for the lack of stock.

  • madmo on 13/02/2021 - 09:49

    Melbourne east seems to be sold out with no signs of restock :(

    • Neoika on 13/02/2021 - 09:54

      No delivery over weekend obviously. Try your luck on Mon, Tues.

      • random12 on 13/02/2021 - 13:34

        Is it really that obvious?

        I think major supermarkets would get deliveries over the weekend. It's not just a Mon - Fri delivery world.

        • Neoika on 13/02/2021 - 13:38

          I think goods and cards(not essential things) are different. I am not 100% sure, though.

    • mmcs on 13/02/2021 - 15:08

      only 1 of $100 left at Coles noble Park, yesterday. :-)

  • baskinghobo on 13/02/2021 - 13:53

    Can I pay my CC bill at Auspost using split pay with the Coles mastercard or is there a fee? My Auspost has a self checkout machine so I don't mind the extra effort.

    • Craze on 13/02/2021 - 15:15

      My statement (28 degrees/Latitude) says the account can't be paid with CC, although there's the option for postbillpay at Auspost. Might give it a go next week to see if it works.

    A silly question: are the cards activated at purchase, or do I need to activate them online?

    • Craze on 13/02/2021 - 15:38

      Activated at point of purchase so you can use immediately :)

    Only $50 cards left at Noarlunga SA. They now have a poster up advertising the discounted cards, so I'd say that's it for that store.

      Play a stupid game to get 50c on $50, when you can get 2% cashback from hsbc

        I did buy one $100 card with 2% HSBC, so effectively got 7.39% discount. The $50 cards are indeed useless.

        • Neoika on 13/02/2021 - 17:28

          Have to be patient, too many approvals if buy many.

          • Cluster on 13/02/2021 - 17:30

            @Neoika: I bought one per day just to be safe. Didn't want HSBC triggering a card freeze.

            • YesPleaseThankYou on 13/02/2021 - 18:28

              @Cluster: Why would HSBC freeze your card? Suspected fraud or abuse of cash back? Has this happened before?

              • Cluster on 13/02/2021 - 22:50

                @YesPleaseThankYou: Abuse of Paywave. If you keep buying near $100 every few minutes without using a PIN it can look like someone has stolen the card and is emptying it.

                • Neoika on 13/02/2021 - 23:47

                  @Cluster: 3 or 4 times in a short period is fine. I vaguely remember it maybe the 6th time that it'll reject the payment.

                  • YesPleaseThankYou on 14/02/2021 - 10:45

                    @Neoika: Each financial institution has its own fraud rules.

                    I don't believe that repeated transactions authorised with biometrics (eg Apple Face ID) would be blocked.

                    • Coops1 on 14/02/2021 - 17:42

                      @YesPleaseThankYou: It’s the issue of manufacturing multiple spends under $100 at the same place that gives the 2% rebate. Banks don’t like it and may cancel the card…..

                      • YesPleaseThankYou on 17/02/2021 - 21:41

                        @Coops1: Well, today I made many (not revealing how many) split transactions to take advantage of the 2% cash back.

                        No transaction was blocked and the 2% cash back was paid for all.

                        Let's see if HSBC makes the allegation that the transactions were split and tries to claw back the cash back.

                        I would suspect that clawing the cash back is not worth HSBC's time and effort.

      • Neoika on 13/02/2021 - 17:26
        +2

        But you can pay by HSBC card on top of the 50c, only 2 cards per trxn.

        • YesPleaseThankYou on 13/02/2021 - 18:29

          Unsure what you mean.

            +1

            @YesPleaseThankYou: I think they mean you can use your HSBC card to get an additional 2% back on top of the 50c discount you’d get through the promo. But in order to get the 2% rebate you need to ensure the transaction is under $100 (ie 2 cards which together work out to be $99).

            • YesPleaseThankYou on 14/02/2021 - 10:43

              @Chookt: Ah, well, it makes financial sense to get the $100 card as that costs $94.50 (under the below $100 2% cashback eligibility threshold).

              • Chookt on 14/02/2021 - 10:49

                @YesPleaseThankYou: Definitely so. But if there aren’t any $250 or $100 cards left then this is possibly the next best option.

        • JIMB0 on 13/02/2021 - 18:32

          Handy for online use.

    • affinity on 13/02/2021 - 19:18

      If you downloaded the PDF, it is likely not there; if you are viewing the catalog online, then this is detailed on the last page as shown here for Victoria.

          It’s on in Queensland. I saw it in the online catalogue for my suburb and saw instore ads in the suburban stores and the CBD.

          • Mad Max on 13/02/2021 - 22:06

            @Chookt: Thanks. Now it is only a matter of finding the cards then…
            The shop where I got the catalogue did not have any, but I did not worry too much because the deal was not on the catalogue. The printed catalogue has only 40 pages, but the online one has 48 pages…

                @Chookt: Plenty of $50 cards around, but not worth the effort. The $250s would be good. That's why they are all gone!

    Suncorp charged me $1.82 to verify the Coles Mastercard. Does anyone if this amount can be refunded when using a prepaid gift card?

    • c64 on 14/02/2021 - 10:37

      in what context?

      is the charge just pending or a transaction? charges that remain pending will go stale after a period of days and disappear

      credit refunds are be done on the card

      • baskinghobo on 14/02/2021 - 10:43

        It says it's pending. And thanks, I wasn't sure if refunds could be done on the card because it isn't reloadable.

        • YesPleaseThankYou on 14/02/2021 - 10:45
          +1

          Refunds are covered in the terms and conditions of the card.

      • vikvance on 14/02/2021 - 15:56

        in what context?

        If you add any new credit/debit card on SunCorp's gift card portal, then they will put in a random pending authorisation charge of less than $2, to verify your credit/debit card.

        You are then supposed to check the pending transactions for your card, and then enter the exact pending amount to complete the verification.

    • vikvance on 14/02/2021 - 15:51

      The verification amount will stay pending & then be automatically cancelled after a week or two.

      The only annoying thing is that you won't be able to use up that final $1.82 & throw away the card until that pending amount disappears.

  • Applause on 14/02/2021 - 15:05

    Blue $100 are in stock at Corrimal but it’s not scanning. Item not found. Maybe try later and it will work.

      If you want to complain about failing to provide enough stock to the ACCC and fair trade entity in your state, then sure; it's your uphill battle to fight.
      Otherwise no, stock was provided as advertise, just sold out before you could get there.

      • affinity on 14/02/2021 - 21:51

        It's interesting that the advert page (online only), says "Whilst stock lasts and no rainchecks" …. it doesn't say, "Not available at all stores" ….

        According to posts in this thread, some stores have re-stocked.

        Yeah I got a disgustingly bad offer too, spend $310 for 3,500 pts; guess I'll be shopping at Woollies much more in the coming weeks / months.

        It's hard enough to get value when a spend needs to be over $100, and it only happens if the points are worth it and/or there is a good higher priced item that I want (maybe from the BestBuys).

          • affinity on 16/02/2021 - 22:35

            @cwongtech: The value is already attained in the purchase, now it is all about using money I own, in the Coles MasterCard area, I will use it on things that I can't otherwise get a discount. I've got plenty of 5% off value left with Woollies eGift cards before they dropped the level of the discount, that will run out soon enough and I'll have to buy new eGift cards for Woollies at the reduced discount rate.

            Used 3x $250 for a payment to an auto repairer, with the balance going to LPG. There will be other expenses like that and both of those without extra cost for using the prepaid credit cards.

              Save the residual cards to be added to Paypal and you can pay off utility/council rates in whatever denominations you put in.

              Last resort: Add to Amazon Wallet and buy an eGift card equivalent to the residual balance, effectively letting you combine crappy $1-$10 cards into your amazon account for further purchases :D

      Who would have thought that they'd get restocked overnight. We saw it with the TCN gift cards, and we see it again with the Coles MasterCard.

      Basically these cards were sold out since Thursday and no restock.

      • Mad Max on 17/02/2021 - 22:52

        Why would Coles bother having the cards on special if then they remove them from the shelf? Wouldn't it be easier just not to have the sale at all? Same result without the effort.

        • affinity on 17/02/2021 - 22:56

          It depends… it gets you in the shop and once in the shop, you will likely spend monies. If there are no cards available, you /might/ visit another shop, rince and repeat. The taste gets sour quick if your visit is not worth anything to you, the customer, so it's a fine line.

          • Mad Max on 17/02/2021 - 23:03

            @affinity: Well I don't know others but I get really annoyed when any shop has something on special and they have hardly any stock for the whole duration of the special. Not even on the very first day. Aldi does that often.
            In those cases I will not buy anything else in the shop at that time. I know it ends up in a waste of my time, but if everyone was to do the same they would realise that the baiting is backfiring on them.
