What about those on student plans? Would applying the gc work
Condition 6: The Card must be redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase
Isn't that against Australian consumer law (3 years minimum)?
Phew, thanks for letting me know - almost played myself!
Thanks.. saved me buying some and then not being able to use them
Thank fuk for the comment section 😆
What about duo plans?
Seems it's only for standalone plans so no duo I guess:

The Card is redeemable for full price standalone Premium subscription months only and cannot be redeemed for discounted or group subscriptions (such as student discounts, trial offers, Premium for families, or offers combining Premium with other companies' products or services).
Does anyone have any experience with the pub&bar cards? Can they be used at restaurants and fast food as well?

If u look at the directory at the bottom of the page, you can check which venue you can use the card
Hello, I have used these cards a lot. I can tell you when they were first released you could. More recently, in the last 6 months you cannot unfortunately.
Worked at my bottleshop! however we recently opened the bar.
The Restaurants one tends to be good at some takeaway store ones like your local joint. But not sure about fast food.
The pub and bar are generally fine at pubs and some cafes even.
As someone mentioned checked the directory.I just put them onto my google wallet and use them when I'm getting takeaway.
Can be a pain though when you have obscure amounts left but if you ask politely to split balance it hasn't been an issue yet.I have used the ‘restaurant’ gift card at pubs, and vice versa. Never tried at fast food as I don’t eat it.
I’ve bought tonnes of these previously when >10% discount and paid with 10% discounted Coles gift cards
Nice bundle with sim card plus $25 active gc.
Can you recieve GC for 120gb offer?
Only shows for 60GB sim.
whats can an active GC be used for? my current coles plan is up for renewal
I grabbed a list of the participating retailer of the TCN Active gift card on 13 Dec and recorded it here.
The TCN website will have a more up-to-date list, but you'll need a TCN Active gift card number to see on the TCN website how you can use the gift card at participating retailers.
- Some will only let you redeem it at their physical stores.
- Some will only let you exchange it for a retailer's own digital gift card.
- The rest will let you do both.
Anyone on coles mobile that can confirm whether or not wifi calling works?
I read about optus allowing other providers on their network this feature but can't seem to find much info on it.
it is not working on my coles no.
Bugger! Was hoping for restaurant card
I have used the ‘restaurant’ gift card at pubs, and vice versa.
It should be noted that the ebay option seems to require an additional $5 to be added for the exchange? When you look at the details on TCN site, to exchange a TCN for an ebay card, ebay minimim is $30 so not sure how the $25 card works
Since when was eBay an option for the TCN Active gift card?
The TCN Active gift card is focussed on fitness brands and sports brands, and its webpage doesn’t list eBay as a participating retailer… unless I’m missing something?
The Online Card has ebay, the Gift Card has ebay…the front page shows ebay…you own list linked above has ebay bolded….I never said anything about the Active card …is it the only one offered in the deal? If that's the case it is a less attractive deal.
I am aware there are a couple of types of TCN gift cards with eBay as a participating retailer, but the only TCN digital gift card that is bundled with the Coles Mobile SIM is the TCN Active gift card.
Also, TCN doesn’t sell digital or physical gift cards in $25 denominations through their website, and retailers (e.g. Woolworths, Coles, BIG W) also don’t stock any physical gift cards in $25 denominations. I’ve also looked at some online retailers (e.g. Coles Group’s gift card website) and they also don’t sell any $25 TCN gift cards, so the $25 bonus gift card with the Coles Mobile SIM appears to be a special gift card TCN have created specifically for this deal. The fact that you previously said “so not sure how the $25 card works” strongly implied you were referring to the TCN Active gift card in the deal, because there’s no other TCN gift card sold or given away with a $25 denomination.
Sure, you can redeem a $30 eBay gift card from a $50 Online gift card (for example) and have $20 left on the Online gift card, and then TCN has allowed you to get into a situation where the balance on the Online gift card ($20) is lower than the minimum swap amount ($30), except you said “the $25 card”, which doesn’t sound like this situation.
I think you can see why I thought you were only referring to the TCN Active gift card.
@WookieMonster: I didn't realise that it was only the Active card being offered (I obviously read the listing too quickly!)…doubt I'll take up the deal …if it had been other cards then it would have been worthwhile…guess I'll just wait for a good Catch deal etc…such is life.
is the GC only available for an online order? How does it work in the store?
Which gift cards are you referring to?
If it is the Catch/Spotify/Pamper/Pub&Bar gift cards, the sale is only available at Coles supermarkets. It is not available at Coles Local, Coles Online, Coles Express or Coles Group’s dedicated gift card website.
If it is the $25 TCN Active gift card bundled with the Coles Mobile SIM, it will be emailed to you after you’ve activated the SIM card and created your Coles Mobile account.
So those who dont have coles mobile sim cannot buy coles mobile recharge 120GB?
I just bought the same $119 SIM card plan for $99 3 days ago from coles store. I haven’t open it or activated it. Anyone knows if I could return it and get a full refund or not? Thanks.
That sounds like a change of mind refund to me, and the answer to your question is no.
Although Coles has a change of mind policy, it does not apply to SIM card packs sold through Coles supermarkets for a couple of reasons:
Coles Mobile is simply a brand used by Optus to sell Optus services. Coles Group only acts as an agent for selling/promoted Coles Mobile services, so staff at a Coles store would have no way of knowing whether or not a new account has already been set up on that SIM card pack.
The SIM card is “activated” (for a lack of a better word) and has the $119 loaded onto it after you finalise payment and the Coles POS system contacts a third-party company to accept the funds and automatically “activate” the SIM card pack for you. This means there is generally no straightforward way for staff at the Coles store to request a return of these funds from the third-party.
If you were returning the SIM card pack due to a reason permitted under Australian Consumer Law (e.g. not fit for purpose), staff at the Coles store would required to assist you.
Thanks
fine print indicates you need to active it by 1/2/2022
That awkward feeling when you want that sweet Nintendo discount but don’t want omicron.
Picked up the sim today and still waiting for activation, no port too just a new number :(
I was able to port my number very very easy. And for me activation only took 20 mins.
Anyone knows how long it will take to receive the email regarding to the bonus gift card?
I got my gift card within 10 mins of the activation email.
Thanks for reply. I activated the sim around 6pm and I got the gc email around 3am next day, so almost 8hs.
The Coles mobile offer $99 for $120 runs till 01st Feb however the $25 active GC promotion is only listed in current catalogue and not in next weeks.
Just activated my $150 plan for $119 yesterday and received the TCN gift card.
Did you have any issues activating your card? I received the email but the "click here" text wasn't a link, there wasn't anything clickable in the email (unless I missed something obvious..) TIA
Same for me. Link which doesn't work. That's not even proper link.
No issues here. The "Click here" had a link and worked first time, still works just tried it. Using Gmail.
Just an update in case anyone else sees this: they automatically resent the email with a working link
Can this gift card be swapped for another card?
Does anyone know the 'specifics' of being a new customer?
I already have a Coles SIM for my daughter, but not sure if I buy and port a different number, this is a 'new' customer.What I will do is to create a brand new account with a different email address to your existing one and after that following the activation steps choose to have a new mobile number or port a mobile number that currently served by other network providers.
Thanks emilyy, will give that a shot.
Activate it on 1/2 but still bo gc email. How do we ask about the gc ?
Hi! We are on the same boat. I activated it around 3pm on 1/2/2022. I haven’t received the gc email yet.
Finally I received the gc email around 4pm on 4/2, almost 3 days waiting. Hope everyone got it soon.
Mine too, they said some delay on delivering the GC
From the chat support"
"I have just received confirmation our technical support team are still looking this. NO eta provided however you will definitely receive this, please bare with us a little bit longer :)"Activated on 1/2 around 11am. Only got the GC card email yesterday at 6:52pm so fingers crossed they're just working through the backlog.
For those on family Spotify be aware that these gift cards are unable to be applied to family plans
