Miniso Gift Cards on ShopBack

Has anyone bought Miniso gift cards from Shopback recently?

I bought one around 3 weeks back, but it turns out it is not accepted in store. I've already tried asking a few stores (in NSW) whether I can use it for my purchase, and they all said they don't have the option to apply this gift card in their system.

I contacted Shopback 2 weeks back to tell them about it, and asked for a refund. After 2 follow ups, they still haven't given me a resolution yet even until now. Quite disappointed on how this is handled by their customer service, I was just told that it has been escalated and I need to wait while they're contacting Miniso about it. I don't feel any sense of urgency for them to resolve the case, probably because it's not their money that's been taken.

I'll be thinking twice before buying any other gift cards from Shopback now, don't know for sure whether it will happen again. Luckily it's not a big amount this time around, I wouldn't want to risk spending a lot of money on a gift card that I can't use, and very hard to get a refund on.

  • You tried contacting corporate? https://www.miniso-au.com/en-au/page/support

    • No, Shopback is contacting them. They're the one who sold me the gift card that I can't use.

  • I'm thinking either the employees are clueless and don't know how to use their POS system, or as franchisees, they don't want the hassle of getting reimbursed from head office

    • If it's just one store, that's what I would think as well. But I went to a few stores, the staff there were actually trying hard to figure out how to apply this gift card. They tried scanning the barcode a few times, punched in the codes manually, and they all didn't work apparently.

  • I had a look at their website and it states:

    Gift Cards can be used online Only.

    Maybe that’s the issue?

    • +1

      Well if that's the case, that means Shopback really need to update the terms and condition of the gift card usage in their gift card shop then, because it's specifically mentioned there that it can be used online and in-store.

      I wouldn't have bought the gift card if I had known that I can't use it in-store.

  • Hey there eqv, so sorry for the run-around here, totally understand the frustration and am happy to get this chased up and have some answers for you ASAP. Are you able to send me a DM so I can take a look at the vouchers and help out? Store reps can't initiate messages here on OzB, so it'd be great if you could reach out so I can do what I can.

    • Thanks, sent you a DM
