My kids’ birthdays are this week and next - and they’re wanting roblox gift cards. I realised I missed this 10% deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/653617) - are there any other discounts that anyone knows of?
Where to find Discounted Roblox Cards?

Roblox Gift Cards are not really something you see too many discounts for. I never really noticed them at Coles until recently, and they’re definitely not in the trusty discounted gift card page.
I have three suggestions for you, but the first two are not straight-forward nor risk-free, and the third suggestion may not even be possible:
1. Use discounted Coles gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards at Coles
Basically, you use discounted Coles gift cards (which are sold through a number of discounted gift card portals) to purchase Roblox gift cards.
Assumptions:
You live near a Coles supermarket.
Your local Coles supermarket stocks Roblox gift cards.
You have access to discounted Coles gift cards.
Pros:
As you are paying less than face value for the Coles gift card, it means that you will also essentially pay less than face value for the Roblox gift cards at Coles.
If you have a Flybuys card and scan it for that transaction, you will earn 1 standard Flybuys point for every $1 you spend on Roblox gift cards. That is equivalent to 0.5% of the whole dollar amount you pay returned to you in the form of Flybuys points. (Yay?)
Cons:
The highest everyday discount on Coles gift cards is 4% off. Is the juice worth the squeeze when you will only save $4 when spending $100 on Roblox gift cards? Only you can answer that.
There is a chance that you will not be able to use Coles digital gift cards as a payment method for Roblox gift cards. This thread goes into more detail, particularly with why you may be unsuccessful doing this.
If you have a Flybuys card and scan it for that transaction, it will not earn any bonus Flybuys points from bonus points offers (e.g. spend $120 in one transaction to earn 3000 bonus points), and it will cause the minimum spend requirement for future Flybuys offers to go up. (I go into more detail about that here).
2. Use Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards at JB Hi-Fi
Basically, you purchase Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards at Coles or Woolworths (especially the ones sold with bonus Flybuys or Everyday Rewards points), and then use those gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards at JB Hi-Fi in-store.
However, this is the riskiest option, as I will outline…
Assumptions:
You live near a Coles or Woolworths supermarket.
Your local Coles or Woolworths supermarket has these gift cards in stock.
You are a Flybuys or Everyday Rewards member.
You live near a JB Hi-Fi store and are happy to go in-store.
Your local JB Hi-Fi stocks Roblox gift cards.
Staff at your local JB Hi-Fi do not stop you from doing this!
Pros:
- Ultimate gift cards and TCN gift cards frequently have bonus points deals at Coles and Woolworths.
-
Coles has one for the Ultimate gift cards, where you will earn 2050 Flybuys points (worth $10.25 in Flybuys Dollars) when purchasing a $50 Ultimate gift card. However, that deal ends at the end of the tomorrow, and there is a hard limit of 5 gift cards per Flybuys account.
-
Woolworths has separate deal for participating Ultimate gift cards starting Wednesday, where you earn 20x Everyday Rewards for every $1 you spend on the participating Ultimate gift cards. For example, if you buy a $50 Ultimate Teens gift card from Wednesday, you will get 1000 Everyday Rewards points, which is equivalent to $5 in Everyday Rewards Dollars. Obviously, the Coles deal is more attractive!
- If you have discounted Coles gift cards, you may be able to use them to purchase Ultimate gift cards to maximise your savings.
Cons:
There is a very high chance JB Hi-Fi staff will stop you from using Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards to pay for Roblox gift cards if they notice you are trying to Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards. I go into more detail about that here.
JB Hi-Fi is only a participating retailer for some (not all) Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards.
You will be saddled with a bunch of Flybuys or Everyday Rewards points that you will have to spend at participating retailers in the future.
You cannot use Ultimate gift cards or TCN gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards on the JB Hi-Fi online store. Even though you can exchange physical TCN gift cards for digital JB Hi-Fi gift cards, I’m fairly sure you cannot use JB Hi-Fi gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards.
3. Use Google/Apple gift card credit to pay for Roblox in-app purchases
I have no idea if this is even possible, but a quick Google search indicates it may be possible to pay for Roblox in-app purchases using Google or Apple credit.
If that is actually possible and your kids are using iDevices, this deal may be of interest. Again, it is dependent on whether you can find stock of Apple gift cards at your local Coles, whether you’re happy that you’ll be saddled with Flybuys points, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for a very comprehensive answer.
I just remembered another option is Use Ultimate gift cards to purchase Roblox gift cards at EB Games. Basically, follow the second option, except get the Ultimate Students gift card and spend it at EB Games.
I remember reading a recent comment that someone went to use EB Games and successfully bought Nintendo gift cards using Ultimate gift cards at EB Games. You may want to check your local EB Games if they sell Roblox cards though.
EDIT: I was a little off. It turns out that the commenter was using EB Games gift cards, not Ultimate gift cards.
However, if staff are happy for people to use EB Games gift cards to purchase Nintendo gift cards, I would be surprised if they were unhappy with you using Ultimate gift cards to pay for Roblox gift cards (assuming they sell Roblox cards).
I had a look at the App Store credit option but I think you get much less points per dollar as roblox must take into account the Apple 30% cut - for example $14.99 in Apple gets you 800 robux compared to a gift card in Coles is $25 for over 2000
In that case, the Apple option is definitely a no-go.
I spent 5 minutes googling trying to work out wtf Roblox cards were. I still have no idea…
To be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely sure what Roblox is… but Roblox cards are gift cards, and that’s all I needed to know to write my post!
If you have preteen kids, you'd know :P
Go to Coles and buy the $50 ultimate gift for student cards and get 20% back in Flybuy points, for up to 5 cards. Finishes today!
Then use that card to buy Roblox card from EB.Or buy other cards and shop at JB
For long term purchases, if on Android, we use Google Rewards app to answer surveys and get google credit. Use that to buy robux
What exactly does $10 worth of robux get you?? We know someone who has been asking for a gift card for x'mas, but really unsure as to whether or not it's a good buy? Does it give the player new skins and looks only, or do you get access to new weapons/levels?
Are the items the same as the ones that you would get from redeeming a code from a roblox toy?
As of now, you can get a 2% cashback on Cashrewards.com.au

I think you may get scammed if you buy from a seller who is advertising Discounted Roblox Cards. The best bet is to buy it at full price I think. If you even go to websites like G2A, they'll have higher prices than retail.
