I was randomly browsing Ultimate GCs at Coles and decided to scan Ultimate Student card version. To my surprise, it gave 15% discount. I bought $50 cards but the discount also worked on $30 card.

It may be linked with following deal but this card type is not mentioned in catalogue.

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/669505

I thought this deserved a deal in its own. It's pretty handsome discount for people who recently pre-ordered Xbox via EB games.

Full list of stores that accept this card is available via link below.

    For a second I thought you scanned your school ID (student card) at the coles checkout.

    This card does look pretty good.

    ARGH bugger I too thought teens were excluded from the 15% Coles deal. Thanks op for the discovery.

    Ultimate Stud GC! Now that's a bargain.

    It is apparently all Ultimate Cards. The picture is just reference. All cards are 15% off.

    • z00m on 12/12/2021 - 05:46

      Can anyone confirm it's 15% off all cards?

      • QuQ on 12/12/2021 - 11:28

        all ultimate cards yes

        im not sure about ther variable cards though there are some ultimate card that you can charge 20-500 but didnt want to risk it

        if you are unsure go to self check out scan and the discount is applied right away

        if you dont see the discount abondon the cart and walk away

        • Xantar on 13/12/2021 - 08:34

          You can also abandon at the retailer. Just said you change your mind and dont want to buy anymore

          What is this variable Ultimate GC?

            @Xantar: there were cards that had $20-500 in the top corner instead of a set price this was rare though as I only saw it at one coles

            might be really new or really old cards

            • Xantar on 13/12/2021 - 15:23

              @QuQ: Interesting to know :D

    Also works on a few others - I bought some Teens cards today and a bunch of Active cards and they scanned with the discount.
    Took my 7 year old daughter along (5 cards for me and 5 for her!) and we managed to get through three different checkouts before getting told off by the staff.

        There were so many left! And I make a point never to take the last item if stock is low. Sharing is a part of the satisfaction!!

        • raptormesh on 11/12/2021 - 22:43

          $3000 worth of cards is pretty hardcore.

      • BargainMac on 12/12/2021 - 10:51

        Yep! it's 7:50 or so for a full day ticket, off-course if in greater Sydney. Get a paper ticket and meet fellow ozbargainer once your travel done to sale it for half price.

      • wekimekigugudan on 12/12/2021 - 23:37

        1hr train

        just wondering, how much was the train fare?

And woohoo a lot of cards are there 😂 Most importantly, the staff at self-checkout was so nice. She asked the manager for me and managed to get me whatever amount i want.

    • sh4hp on 11/12/2021 - 23:17

      No

    • Xantar on 11/12/2021 - 23:41

      Why do you need to exchange Ultimate Gift Card for EB Gift card? It works like a Credit Card at EB plus a bunch more.

      • ce5himm on 12/12/2021 - 00:03

        when your online order is over $50. student only sell $30 or $50. Because you can only use 1 credit card, say your order is 79, you can not use 2 ultimate student as credit card online.
        i am not sure how many gift card you can use on eb website, but at least you can use 1 eb gift card + 1x credit card (ultimate student).

        • Xantar on 12/12/2021 - 07:17

          Do EB games have exclusive online deals like jb hifi which is the main reason people swaps.

    • ce5himm on 12/12/2021 - 00:00

      actually you can, like say steam card or other. not sure online, at least works in store.

  • BennyHe2018 on 11/12/2021 - 23:26

  • ce5himm on 12/12/2021 - 00:04

    i don't need eb cards now, but will check tomorrow see if i can get some left. even the 15% off for xbox is decent, better than 10% at shopback

  • Jimbuscus on 12/12/2021 - 03:10

    EB Games normally price match, worthwhile with their membership which allows change of mind on console games within a small window.

    Reminder you can't stack giftcards on EB website.

    • ce5himm on 12/12/2021 - 09:40

      That sucks, however by using 1 swapped giftcard and 1 ultimate as credit card. At least makes it $100.

  • strathfieldisatip on 12/12/2021 - 10:27

    Just bought some students cards for strike and holey moley. Would be nice if U can get cocktails and stuff with this card.

    Kid decided what he wants for christmas present really late this year.
    2 days ago, he said he wanted plush toys and went to EB Games yesterday afternoon and he chose a set of 5 Minecraft plush toys.
    Went home to get 8% discounted gift cards from Resimac Member Advantage and saw this deal came up on OzBargain for 15%.
    Went to Plenty Valley Coles to find 4x $50 and do self checkout with shop attendee assistance with no drama.
    They still have a few $50 cards up on the Gift Cards section, if anyone looking.
