    Can you use points or gift card to purchase?

    • t25 on 24/07/2022 - 13:35

      Gift card might work. Points I doubt will work.

    • ATangk on 24/07/2022 - 14:22

      You can’t use flybuys dollars to buy gift cards.

    So 10% off $50 restaurant gift card ?

    • souths123 on 24/07/2022 - 12:58

      more like 10% cashback (once converted to $)

    • WookieMonster on 24/07/2022 - 13:00
      +16

      You’ll have 10.5% of the gift card’s face value returned to you in the form of Flybuys points.

      You’ll earn 1x standard Flybuys points every day for every $1 you spend when purchasing third-party gift cards1 at Coles. Considering this deal is for 1,000 bonus Flybuys points, that means you’ll get 50 standard Flybuys points and 1,000 bonus Flybuys points when you purchase a $50 The Restaurant gift card during this deal.

      1,050 Flybuys points is equivalent to $5.25 in Flybuys Dollars2, which is how I calculated the 10.5% value.

      1. Third-party gift cards (in the context of Coles) are any gift cards sold at Coles that are not issued by Coles Group. ↩

      2. The assumption is that 2,000 Flybuys points = $10, which is the conversion rate used by Coles when you convert your Flybuys points into Flybuys Dollars, redeem gift cards from the Flybuys Rewards Store, or redeem 2,000 Flybuys points for a $10 instant discount at a Coles checkout (and this is only available for Coles Financial Services customers). If you redeem your Flybuys points in other ways (e.g. convert Flybuys points into Velocity Frequent Flyer points), the value of each Flybuys point you earn may differ. ↩

        I feel like every time a gift card promo is posted, you’ve got your hands together like mr burns ready to spew info from your FAQ.

        I'm waiting - The Restaurant Gift Card was 15% off 2.5 months ago - 15% off The Active Card & The Restaurant Card Gift Cards @ Coles - OzBargain

        • FujiFruit on 24/07/2022 - 16:01

          Me too, not sure if they will do this 15% deal again

        • t25 on 24/07/2022 - 17:05

          Not that soon to be honest. They seem to come around once a year or every other year. Of course, it would be nice to have these at 15% off on a regular basis.

        Good to know standard points apply to the gift cards as well.
        Do you know if they’ll be qualified for those ‘spend XXX each week for 4 weeks’ target?
        Cheers.

          I'd say no.

          I've been trying to get gift cards to stack with such offers for a few years with no luck.

  • yolow on 24/07/2022 - 14:21

    Use this gift card at restaurants that accept eftpos around Australia. (Gift card subject to individual merchant acceptance.)

    Hmmm.. I wonder whether this gift card can be use as a normal eftpos transactions at any store/shop that accepts eftpos i.e. Officeworks, woolies, coles etc.

    Has anyone try doing this? Would be good to know if this will work at any store/shop.

    • ExPrinceHairy on 24/07/2022 - 15:14

      To quote @WookieMonster again (hope they don't mind):

      Restaurants are defined as a merchant assigned the Merchant Category Code (MCC) of 5812 (Eating Places, Restaurants) or 5813 (Bars, Cocktail Lounges, Discotheques, Nightclubs, and Taverns— Drinking Places). (Source.) This gift card may also work at merchants with an MCC of 5814 (Fast Food Restaurants). (Source.)

    • WookieMonster on 25/07/2022 - 09:28

      The gift cards in this deal are what I call category-restricted gift cards. Basically, they’re designed to only work at merchants that are assigned a particular category on their EFTPOS terminal or payment gateway. If you are wondering what on earth I am going on about, have a look at a previous comment for context.

      My guess is that you can only redeem The Restaurant gift cards at MCC 5812 and MCC 5813 (and possibly MCC 5814), because:

      • My friend actually tried to use one of these Restaurant gift cards at a cafe one time, but TCN (the card issuer) kept on declining payment, even though the gift card had sufficient balance, it had not expired nor had been blocked, and the correct PIN was being entered correctly. My friend eventually paid using a regular bank card, and when they followed up with their bank later on, the bank told them the MCC at the cafe was actually 5462 (which is used for Bakeries). TCN later told them “your gift card is active and working properly, but if the business uses an MCC that is different to the ones allowed on our gift card, that’s not our problem.”

      • I have also seen previous conjecture on OzBargain (from about a year or two ago) of at least one person trying to redeem them at Coles, Woolworths, etc and failing. However, I have been searching for that comment for about 30 minutes and I cannot find it…

      You can always give it a go and see whether a Restaurant gift card works outside the assigned MCCs (and Fast Food Restaurants), but I would not expect it to work.

  • forbetterdeals on 24/07/2022 - 21:50

    Little confused after reading T&C saying "A limit of 5 Gift Cards per Flybuys account applies".. For the max benefit, do I have to seperately purchase $50 gift cards in 5 transactions to get 5,000 points or can I just puchase 5 card in 1 transaction to get 5,000 points?

    • Yola on 24/07/2022 - 22:04
      +2

      Either.

      • fatice on 27/07/2022 - 21:45

        Can we buy anther 5 cards in a different transaction under the same flybuys account to get 5x1000 points?

        • Yola on 28/07/2022 - 10:39
          +2

          No, but you can get another Flybuys account. If you sign up online you have the option of immediately printing a temporary. Make sure you keep a record of the DOB you use as you will need it for id. check if you need to call up. Use your address to receive the plastic card as you need it to spend the points unless you sign up to Flypay and use them online.

            @Yola: I did the same thing bought another x 5 with another flybuys

  • ChipsChicky on 24/07/2022 - 23:47

    Can you use Restaurant GC at Nando's ?

    • WookieMonster on 25/07/2022 - 09:20
      +4

      You can use The Restaurant gift card if the Merchant Category Code (MCC) is either:

      • Eating Places, Restaurants (5812)
      • Bars, Cocktail Lounges, Discotheques, Nightclubs, and Taverns— Drinking Places (5813)

      It may work at merchants with the following MCC:

      • Fast Food Restaurants (5814)

      However, the caveat is that it assumes the merchant also accepts prepaid gift cards. I actually have not come across a restaurant that does not accept prepaid gift cards in-person, but YMMV.

      The problem is that you won’t know whether a particular location will actually accept The Restaurant gift card unless you actually try it there. There is a (small) chance that the franchise’s financial institution has misprogrammed the MCC on the EFTPOS terminal. I went into this in a bit more detail in a previous deal. The point is that just because The Restaurant gift card may work at one location of a restaurant chain does not mean it will definitely work at another location of a restaurant chain (particularly for a franchise restaurant chain).

  • stuarty9 on 25/07/2022 - 07:06

    Need Airbnb GC's, anything on them at the moment?

    • brisdaz on 25/07/2022 - 08:00

      One of the cashback sites sell AirBnB GC at a discount.

  • crazyboy on 25/07/2022 - 23:51

    Just in time as I needed a $50 Google Play Gift Card. Will wait till Wednesday.

  • mrdng on 26/07/2022 - 20:17

    $100 Google Play gift card will give you 1000 flybuys, same as $50. So it's better buying 2 x $50 Google Play cards, right?

    Did I read it correctly?

    • WookieMonster on 26/07/2022 - 20:25
      +2

      Yes, you read that correctly. Just keep in mind that you can only earn bonus Flybuys points on five gift cards during this deal.

      • FujiFruit on 26/07/2022 - 21:52

        Is that per day? Or for the whole promotion of the one week?

      • mrdng on 26/07/2022 - 22:55

        Thanks @WookieMonster! just about the right time for me to buy a subscription on Google Play!

    • tinx on 01/08/2022 - 15:07

      Dang it, bought $100 restaurant gc and got 1000 points. I thought it was the same with previous promo, $50 get 1000, $100 get 2000.

      Lesson learned.

    Hi Wookie! Just confirming that if I was to buy 5x $50 Teen gift cards in the same transaction, then I'd receive 5,000 bonus points?

    • WookieMonster on 27/07/2022 - 07:39

      Yep, that's right.

      (You'll also earn 250 standard Flybuys points.)

  • nicholasv on 27/07/2022 - 13:42

    How long does it take for the points to be added? 24 hours?

      The following evening after your qualifying purchase.
