        • ontoastrye on 07/02/2022 - 18:24

          new to this…
          how did you calculate it was 10% off?

          you pay $106 for the GC - so more than that value you are getting (ie. $100). Is there some redemption with the every day rewards point or something?

          Where is the 10%?

          • capslock janitor on 07/02/2022 - 18:55

            @ontoastrye: oh nah i meant my preferred threshold would be a min 10% off discount/deal

            apparently this one is more like ~4% as others have said

    FYI those Westfield gift cards are just EFTPOS gift cards. They can be used anywhere EFTPOS is accepted (don't have to be used inside a Westfield)

      I wouldn’t phrase it that way.

      Westfield EFTPOS gift cards can be used anywhere EFTPOS gift cards are accepted. If a merchant chooses to not accept EFTPOS gift cards, you’re out of luck.

      There are only two examples I can think of where using EFTPOS gift cards is restricted by the merchant.

      Woolworths

      Woolworths has set up their POS system so that you cannot use EFTPOS gift cards with card numbers starting with 502125 to purchase the following gift cards at Woolworths and Woolworths Metro:

      • The Perfect EFTPOS gift card (card numbers starting with 502125)
      • OnlyONE Visa prepaid gift cards1 (card numbers starting with 432465)
      • Woolworths Group gift cards
      • eBay gift cards2

      If you swipe an EFTPOS gift card starting with 502125 in a transaction where you are purchasing one of these gift cards, you will get an Items Not Allowed error, and staff cannot bypass this restriction.

      Having said that, Westfield EFTPOS gift cards have card numbers starting with 502119. It will be interesting to see whether Westfield EFTPOS gift cards are treated the same way as other EFTPOS gift cards, but my assumption is that Woolworths has also applied this restriction on Westfield EFTPOS gift cards.

      If anyone is wondering why this restriction exists, Woolworths Group team members can use their 5% team member discount everyday on most gift cards sold at Woolworths, so Woolworths Group is trying to prevent team members from abusing this discount by using EFTPOS or Visa gift cards they purchased at a discount to purchase more EFTPOS or Visa gift cards at a discount and trying to “profit” from the team member discount as a result.

      Considering Westfield EFTPOS gift cards are sold at Woolworths (obviously) and I’m 95% sure it is eligible for the 5% team member discount, I think Westfield EFTPOS gift cards will have this restriction too. (I will test it out later this week!)

      Australia Post

      Australia Post officially do not allow you to use EFTPOS gift cards to pay for any bills via Post Billpay at Australia Post offices (for some reason), and they have trained their staff to stop customers from doing this.

      However, Australia Post has not set up their POS system to block you from doing this, so if you’re lucky (like me recently) and can find a staff member at a post office who is happy for you to use EFTPOS gift cards to pay for a bill, you can get away with it.

      1. I’m referring to the OnlyONE Visa Green gift card that is not restricted to a specific Merchant Category Code (MCC). This probably does not include the OnlyONE Visa gift cards that can only be used at specific MCCs (e.g. the OnlyONE Visa gift cards in this deal). ↩

      2. Another OzBargainer told me last week they were unable to use an EFTPOS gift card to pay for an eBay gift card at Woolworths, which is rather surprising. ↩

      • bnmop1 on 31/01/2022 - 18:11

        Which gift cards can be discounted using the staff card?

        • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 18:20

          I don’t have access to a team member discount, but based on previous conversations with OzBargainers who have access to the team member discount, the gift cards that do not attract the discount include:

          However, I’m not aware of any other restrictions, so my assumption is that it works on other gift cards. (For example, someone commented a while ago that the 5% discount could be applied to Apple gift cards.) Then again, I cannot test this for myself!

          1. This is the newer version that comes with a PIN. Apparently the older version that came with no PIN could be discounted by 5%. ↩

      • nightelves on 31/01/2022 - 18:13

        Do they allow split payment?

        • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 18:14

          Who? Woolworths? Australia Post?

          • nightelves on 31/01/2022 - 18:21

            @WookieMonster: Australia Post. You used to be able to split payment at Australia Post and pay using Eftpos giftcards.

            • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 18:33

              @nightelves: Yep.

              Split payments are possible, although when I requested split payments Australia Post recently, the staff member wasn’t entirely sure how to do that, and they needed help from their supervisor to figure out how to do it.

            • AsukaST on 31/01/2022 - 23:37

              @nightelves: it depends on the biller when it comes to split payment.
              From my experience, AMMI and VIC Roads (rego fees) don't allow split payment at post office

              • Craze on 06/02/2022 - 12:49

                @AsukaST: Are you able to pay via credit card for Vicroads? Couldn't pay via Beemit and wanting a workaround to the payment surcharge…

        FWIW, I haven't received my 5% staff discount on gift cards for a while, so I think they've patched that.

          Damn, that’s a shame.

        • FujiFruit on 31/01/2022 - 20:55

          how about using your staff discount for stan gift card, or apple? does it work? i know they stopped for perfect eftpos gift card, and visa green too.

        For Auspost just use self service.

    • nightelves on 31/01/2022 - 18:05

      Do Westfield giftcard incur a card fee as well?

      • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 18:14

        They incur a $5.95 purchase fee, which you need to pay at the time of purchasing the card.

    • Neoika on 02/02/2022 - 20:50

      It has been known to many now. From its T & Cs, "We may, in our complete discretion, refuse to sell gift cards to any person at any time for any reason." may refer to the people who know it is an EFTPOS card that can be used outside Westfield.

      Since people buy them from a 3rd party, it can not enforce it. But one has to be quick in redeeming the whole balance if the spend is outside Westfield. Some people reported card suspension before.

  • cooni on 31/01/2022 - 17:14

    • nightelves on 31/01/2022 - 18:53

      Yes it's basically a debit card where you swipe it and select savings and pin.

      • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 18:55
        +1

        They’re gift cards that operate on the Visa network, so you need to select Credit, not Savings.

        • nightelves on 31/01/2022 - 19:13

          I'm using the Westfield giftcard now. At the back it says Select Savings and enter pin. This is the one given by redeeming credit card bonus points.

          • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 19:33

            @nightelves: They asked about the "VISA fast food card", which is another gift card that is part of this offer. They were not asking about the Westfield EFTPOS gift card.

    • WookieMonster on 31/01/2022 - 19:04
      +3

      It should be fine, as one of the permitted Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) for the Visa fast food gift card is Fast Food Restaurants (MCC 5814). However, it is reliant on the financial institutions managing card payments for Macca’s, HJ’s, KFC, etc correctly coding their EFTPOS terminals with the correct MCC.

      To be honest, if Macca’s, HJ’s, KFC, etc are not assigned MCC 5814, I honestly have no idea what they would be assigned…

      • sub102 on 02/02/2022 - 19:50

        Do you know if these can be used in the GYG app (online) or are they just ETFPOS?

        • WookieMonster on 02/02/2022 - 21:58
          +1

          It should work, as long as:

          • The financial institution handling GYG’s payments on the GYG app has designated GYG with the MCC for Fast Food Restaurants (#5814), and

          • The financial institution handling GYG’s payments on the GYG app accepts prepaid Visa cards. (Some merchants will not accept them for online/in-app transactions, as most prepaid cards lack the security features of debit/credit cards, so some merchants see them as a “more risky” payment method.)

          I cannot give you an iron-clad guarantee whether it will work, because I haven’t tried it!

          • sub102 on 02/02/2022 - 22:06
            +1

            @WookieMonster: Thanks for that! Worth the risk to get $50 and see as I can use it on maccas and so on anyway right. Also can check whether it'll trigger my weekly Woolies rewards points offer.

            By my previous GYG transactions is there a way to see what the MCC is? I tried seeing my debit card and zip transactions but don't see any such number

            • WookieMonster on 02/02/2022 - 22:14

              @sub102: If you’re gonna use it at another fast food outlet, I agree it is worth the risk. Thanks for volunteering to be the guinea pig lol.

              There is likely no way for you to check what the MCC is for specific card transactions through banking apps etc, as it is information that financial institutions usually don’t publicise to their customers, mostly because it is usually of no value to customers.

              However, some financial institutions (e.g. 86 400) appear to be using MCCs to categorise spending in their banking app, so you may be able to get a rough idea of the MCC for a particular merchant based on the way the app categorised the transaction.

              Alternatively, you could always ask your financial institution what the MCC was for a particular transaction, but tbh, that is probably too much hassle when trial-and-error would likely be a faster way of determining this.

              • sub102 on 03/02/2022 - 00:08
                +1

                @WookieMonster: I just checked the GYG transactions I did for the Revolut offer and they are classified as 'Restaurants' so it should fall under one of 5811/5812/5813/5814 (funny enough Shopback transactions were classified as restaurants too though). So to be safe its best to get the Night Out card out of them all as it covers all those MCCs plus more. Let you know how it goes

                  @sub102: I’ve tried on the GyG app and can confirm it doesn’t accept, unfortunately.

      That's right. The Visa gift cards in this deal have zero fees, but the trade-off is that you can only use them at specific categories of merchants.

  • trotsky on 31/01/2022 - 21:46

    The T&C that I'm most curious about is the 10 maximum per rewards member - is that 10x of each card, per transaction, all up? I wonder how you know when you've hit the 10 - you just don't get the bonus points I guess? It is a damn good reason not to buy the $50 denominations if you want to stock up.

    • AsukaST on 31/01/2022 - 23:39

      sounds like 10 cards in total to me.

    Be aware that these gift cards may not activate immediately. I purchaed earlier today and tried to check the balance online (https://www.westfieldgiftcards.com.au/Online/Information/Car…). I got 'invalid card'. I tried to use the card and got 'no savings account' at the EFTPOS terminal. I called Wesfield Gift Cards and they said the card can take 48 hours to activiate.

    My advice would be to check the balance before you try to spend. You can also check the balance by calling 1300 790 292 and selecting option 1 or at the Concierge Desk in any Westfield.

    • WookieMonster on 20/02/2022 - 19:06
      +1

      That’s good to know, but it is something I would not encourage.

      Section 2 of the terms and conditions makes it clear that you cannot use a Westfield EFTPOS gift card to pay bills, and Westfield reserve the right to cancel any gift cards if you do that (or for any reason).

      I haven’t heard of anyone who had a Westfield EFTPOS gift card cancelled or a transaction reversed after redeeming it at Australia Post (especially since Australia Post is more than a bill payment service), but it is something I would not feel comfortable doing, because who knows how closely Westfield monitors transactions on their EFTPOS gift cards and how trigger-happy they are.

        That's a good callout, I had no idea they had that in their T&Cs however…

        I have been picking up these Westfield GCs whenever they go on sale for years now (since ~2016) and have used them to pay bills at Australia Post and none have been cancelled nor reversed thankfully.

        Maybe one day Westfield will get their act together and do something about it but I'm here hoping that nothing will emerge haha.
