It's been a while since the last decent deal from Reward Gateway but they've come through with another increase in the value of eGift Cards for Supercheap Auto, this week only. I note it says 'For online transactions' in the small print, but I've been able to purchase these eGift Cards and use them in store without any trouble, so give it a try and see if it works. YMMV.
I obviously mis-read that earlier. Upon a second reading of the T&Cs it means that online purchases can only accept up to one gift card per transaction. This limit does not apply in-store. When trying a test purchase of eGift Cards the most I was able to add to the basket in a single run is $2000, but it didn't seem to be splitting that up into multiple smaller cards. The only way to know for certain is to actually purchase, but I don't need that much right now. If anyone else is wanting more and can report back in the comments what they got that would be great.
(For the eagle-eyed OzBargainers: I've also found a https link that is actually secure when pointing to the AU version of the web site.)
T&Cs:
How the offer works
- Purchase an Instant eGift Card of ANY denomination in whole dollar amount up to $4999. You will be given more than one Instant eGift Card if your order exceeds that amount.
- You only pay the face value of the Instant eGift Card LESS the % saving listed below.
- The Instant eGift Card will be available from your ‘My Account > My Instant eGift Cards’ straight away.
- Shop at Supercheap Auto in-store or online, and use your Instant eGift Card to pay for your items.
Key information
- For online transactions - Only 1 Instant eGift Card can be redeemed per transaction. For instore transactions, multiple Instant eGift Cards can be used.
- We’re sorry, but we cannot provide refunds for Supercheap Instant eGift Cards.
- Please note that the Instant eGift Cards are not redeemable on tyre purchases or any services supplied by outbound partners.
A couple of points about Reward Gateway (since they usually crop up in the comments):
- It's an employee benefits program that you would have access to through your workplace. Generally it's aimed at larger companies, so if you have an employee benefits program available then check who it's with. Random people are not able to join directly.
- I personally find the best way to purchase eGift cards and keep track of cashback is through the Smart Spending app. The gift cards are stored and activated through your account, and you simply scan a barcode off your mobile phone screen. It's available from GooglePlay and the Apple App Store.
- You may see a CC surcharge for purchases. Not all eGift cards attract it and I haven't actually been charged myself. This is supposed to be plainly shown during the purchase process, but don't be surprised if you see up to 1.5% premium added on your statement - it's wise to factor it in before deciding if this is a great deal for you or not. (Please report in the comments if you can confirm that you've been charged but it wasn't shown during purchase.)
