APPLEPAY

Just received an email from Apple for Mothers Day Apple Pay perks advertising Special.com.au. Save 15% (up to $20) with promo code APPLEPAY.

Looks to be once per customer.

Mod: The OP did not declare their association. The account and store is banned, but the deal has been republished (with association added by mods), as it appears to be of interest to the community.

This is part of Mother's Day deals for 2022.

    The super shopper looks good with Aldi, Woolies, Amazon and more!

    • rpb on 23/04/2022 - 02:05

      The super shopper even works with special.com.au to buy a second card at 15% off (using the first card)

      • powerinnumbers on 23/04/2022 - 10:47

        how does that help. Or is my brain not on yet

          My wife sent me a $134 card by spending $114 on our CC.
          I used $114 of that card to buy her a $134 card.
          Total cost $114 for $154 of cards!

          • powerinnumbers on 23/04/2022 - 10:54

            @rpb: ah, it only works from someone else's purchase?

            @rpb: I seem to get payment failed using Google pay trying to buy the second gift card. Maybe they caught on?

                @DoctorCalculon: Yeah we're seeing that too now. Was good last night. I cant complain though.
                I was staying quiet because we were sending it around the family during the long weekend.
                Someone must have gotten into work this morning had an "Oh crap!" moment

        Did this and worked for me as well. Thanks for the (inception) tip!

        Did this earlier today and it worked but tried to buy a third Super Shopper card with the second Super Shopper card (aiming for $174 from a $114 spend) and I'm getting a payment issue error. Maybe we've tipped them off to this loophole.

        Thanks @rpb

        I just did that across my family (5) and ended up with a total cost of $114 for $194 worth

        Each time was done using Apple Pay on web browser (mobile or pc) - It doesn't work if using the Specials app. Using the CC details won't work either. Don't know if it has to do with this:

        Apple Pay uses the Device Account Number instead of providing your credit or debit card number (Each iPhone has it's own Device Account Number and since the they see it's a different 16 digit number that acts like a card it goes through?)

        Great deal overall!

          Bought one card for my missus via PC, then used that card to buy one for myself. Had to set up Google Pay (Samsung phone) as could not enter original giftcard details as payment method. Worked a treat!

          • I Smell Pennies on 25/04/2022 - 17:45

            @GimmeCashback: Ahhh you just reminded me why I said PC HAHA, I originally used PC to make my first purchase. Glad to help, all thanks to @rpb and OP

          • DoctorCalculon on 25/04/2022 - 17:59

            @GimmeCashback:

            Had to set up Google Pay

            There is no verification code required on Android?

            For some reason, the verification codes aren't coming through if you try to add the card manually to your Apple Wallet.

          Looks like it.. Needed a "do it at your own risk" warning with that tip.

          Although I don't believe they banned everyone who used this loophole. They seem to have targeted those who were caught doing it multiple times.

      Yep I did. Got my $50 card for $42.50 :)
      I even messaged moderators to have this deal republished after I tested the legitimacy of it

      • popsiee on 22/04/2022 - 12:03

        I think more concern about the gift card working with the store being banned in tittle :)

        • [Deactivated] on 22/04/2022 - 12:10

          Store was banned because the seller didn't declare being part of the store/associated.

          Gift cards worth fine, I used it the same way doweyy did, to buy a woolworths giftcard with student edge discount

    • doweyy on 22/04/2022 - 12:02

      Definitely legit, card delivered almost instantly into my cards area and card details able to be used online.

  • Thrifty Dan on 22/04/2022 - 12:02

    Hmm not sure what happened with my order but the authorisation charge is appearing on my credit card but the order didn't seem to go through properly. Don't really want to try again just in case i get charged twice. Wish the OP wasn't banned so they could respond to me..

    • Member 0230 on 22/04/2022 - 12:19

      Maybe you can use TWAM to request an exception to the ban in this case, because it's to help resolve a potential issue (and involving already charged funds) with a published deal?

    • K-Tan on 22/04/2022 - 12:20

        Yea mine was refunded after I contacted them. I rebooked (apple pay option had disappeared) and it worked fine. So they must have fixed the issue

    Idk tbh, seems fishy bc:

    • 15% off supermarket gift cards has been the highest we’ve seen on OzB, usually around only ~5-10%
    • App was only released recently per the Apple Store, with comments started since late February this year
    • brandogs on 22/04/2022 - 12:34
      +1

      No issues for me. Added it to my Google Pay, It's basically a MasterCard. Can use it for Tap & Pay or online by entering the card number, expiry and CVV ect.

      • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 11:52

        Is the 15% discount ONLY/strictly for people with an iOS phone, using Apple Pay? For Android users, do we still get the 15% if we use the promo code "APPLEPAY" even though ours is not an Apple phone? I'm confused.

        • I Smell Pennies on 25/04/2022 - 11:54

          No, you can apply the 15% off code on any device. It’s not strictly limited to Apple phones

          • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 12:07

            @I Smell Pennies: Thanks. Does "device" include a laptop? So, to confirm, I can pay for the Special card on my laptop using any credit card, as long as I add the code "APPLEPAY", and I'll get 15% off? (Confusing, then, since the code is named "APPLEPAY".)

            • CodeXD on 25/04/2022 - 12:16

              @dlee: Yes I bought it on my laptop, used the code and got the discount.

              • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 12:21

                @CodeXD: Oh no… I'm trying to buy the Super Shopper on special.com.au now, but the code APPLEPAY doesn't work—-after I click to apply the code, nothing happens… the amount to pay doesn't change or show any discount. What's happening?

                • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 12:38

                  @dlee: Scratch that. There was some problem with my Opera browser. I used another browser and it worked.

              • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 13:05

                @CodeXD: Help! I've added the Super Shopper (Special) gift card to my Google Pay, but I can't see the full card number (only the last four digits of the virtual card number!). Sorry for the rookie question, but how do I use the card to buy a Shopback gift card if I can't see the full number?

                • wekimekigugudan on 25/04/2022 - 13:09

                  @dlee: login to your special account, go to manage/shop online for the details

                  • dlee on 25/04/2022 - 13:17

                    @wekimekigugudan: Ah… OK. I thought there was a way to see the full (virtual) card number from within GooglePay itself. Using the Special app, I can see the full (real) card number, including the CVV (which virtual cards don't have, I believe).

                    The CVV is needed for most online transactions, I think, so that means GooglePay virtual card numbers can't be used for online transactions? Anyway, thanks.

                • CodeXD on 25/04/2022 - 13:17

                  @dlee: Just to add on, select the card, and then click spend in store
