    Bought quite a few today and at one store got told

    “Given you’re buying over a $1000 worth, you need to tell me what you’re buying with these” 😂

    Told her none of her business but I might use to pay for the bread and milk on the weekend.

    She then put the transaction through 😂

      Just be careful that increasing spend on flybuys will recalibrate the 10000 points for $x spend offers.

      Sometimes not worth it for a few hundred points

      • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2022 - 02:02

        I never use offers, but it said 5x.

        It's mental that Woolies always has insane offers, and Flybuys as in earn 2000-4000 pts a week but I order 1k of wine with BWS and get nothing! Lol

  • CheapBrah on 20/10/2022 - 20:17

    Managed to use the perfect eftpos cards from the woollies 10x points deal the other week to pay for these.

    When one failed to activate they also refunded me 257 instead of what I paid, and I managed to get it refunded onto my credit card rather than the prepaid eftpos card.

    • daanish on 20/10/2022 - 20:47

      Hopefully not a rewards credit card. You'll wind back your earned points doing that.

      • CheapBrah on 20/10/2022 - 20:58

        Paid for the eftpos cards with a higher points earning card plus 10x Woolworth points and have a lot to turnover, the points lost on refund is small in comparison as it's a lower earning card.

  • clover on 20/10/2022 - 21:29

    My local store hides all the 250 behing their service desk. First time too. Lucky I spotted them as they normally just put the cards on the shelves.

    My local store had a whole batch of 250 and 100 hanging in the usual place. What surprises me is that an hour later, they remained untouched apart from 1 other person taking 5 of the 250s (and then I bought them myself). Might rinse and repeat when I drop by tomorrow - it’s 3 mins walk from my house.

  • TheTaxMan on 20/10/2022 - 23:32

    Was thinking you can maximise with using HSBC on the $250 cards but break up the payment into partial payments of $100 each time. Anyone tried this? Sounds silly just typing this out!

    • leiiv on 21/10/2022 - 00:39

      I don't have the thick face to do it. But I tried using to pay myer group gift card that I bought with hiver months ago, and it works!

      Probably HSBC will block the card when you do it after twice within a minute.

      • Yola on 21/10/2022 - 08:35

      Now that they've closed the rinse and repeat loophole, there is less interest unless people want to put in liquid cash to buy these which is why it's not too bad with stock levels.

    • capslock on 21/10/2022 - 07:46

    Yeah, I rang some stores and the ladies all complained.

    I think they've asked for huge restocks.

    If you get lucky, you could go store to store. I spose it depends what you earn an hour.

    It's not free money, or a saving when you spend hours working for the saving.

    To bypass from merchants not accepting split payments online using multiple of $250 cards, does anyone know if this method will work if I was to buy something online that accepts afterpay/latitude as a whole and then use these cards to them off as lump sum?

      We can only hope

    • truetypezk on 21/10/2022 - 09:58

      By selling an absolutely huge amount, your chance of getting hacked is diluted lol. I think that is probably the only thing they have done.

      • thekensai on 21/10/2022 - 12:51

        no matter how many are sold, the total possible numbers on the card remains the same 510982012111111X ~ 510982012999999Y. cycle through these endlessly and you'll hit the jackpot sooner ir later

        • impoze on 21/10/2022 - 12:55

          the cards have to be activated first though right?

          • thekensai on 21/10/2022 - 12:58

            @impoze: yeah all u need to do is test each number repeatedly until someone puts money into it

        • TEER3X on 21/10/2022 - 13:30

          that's pretty craptastic, how to we get these into something more secure?

          • Neoika on 21/10/2022 - 13:40

            @TEER3X: Only limited places that do not require CVC/CVV. Otherwise, only one in a thousand chance after the card number is captured.

  • ssd01 on 21/10/2022 - 09:35

      If you have an Amazon account, you can add the the pre-paid Mastercard as a payment source. Then buy an electronic Amazon e-gift card for the value of your Mastercard balance (you can nominate the value you wish to purchase down to the last cent) with you as the recipient, ensuring the Coles Mastercard is used as the payment source. When you receive the Amazon e-gift card by e-mail, apply to your Amazon account and you have then effectively transferred the balance from your Coles Mastercard to credit on your Amazon account. If you don't have enough Amazon credit to fully pay for a subsequent purchase then the shortfall amount gets charged to your normal payment source e.g. your credit card

      • truetypezk on 22/10/2022 - 13:06

        Don't do that, it is a very bad idea. Amazon proactively flag accounts for security reviews/checks when you use a newly added card to buy expensive items and gift cards. If you do that with multiple $250 cards, you are basically asking for a suspension.
        After your account has been suspended, you will need to provide the card's statement with matching address to have it removed. These prepaid cards don't come with statements so you will need to jump through several hoops and waste a lot of time and require quite a bit of luck to have your account reinstated.
        In short, just don't do it. It's not worth the hassle at all.

        • bean_counter on 22/10/2022 - 16:05

          @truetypezk - Adelv is looking at using $60 - one card. So not sure why you're talking about multiple $250 cards, account suspension etc when original post and my comment are both about using unspent balances. A bit dramatic!

          If it was multiple $250 I would have warned him to expect a call from Amazon to check whether it was legit. That's all they did with me last year when I added $1,000 to my account via this method (4x$250). Then I got another call when I added another 2 cards the following day and a further 2 the day after that. So $2,000 added via 8 cards in 3 days. No suspension, no request for additional info just 2 calls to confirm that I was doing it.

          I would add though that I am a long term, regular customer on Amazon. I might have attracted more attention and possibly action if I was a new user.

          In addition to these, so far this year I've added another 7 cards to clear balances ranging from $15.14 to $75.60 all without question…. let alone suspension. Unless already being monitored for suspicious activity, I have little doubt that Adelv would be able to do what I outlined without any issues for a paltry $60 x 1 card. YMMV but if only for $60, I very much doubt it.

      Woolworths and Coles is the best, self serve check out, payment select Mix payment, select Card, enter desire leftover amount, for my case would be few cards, $0.67, $6.43, $1,87, and $0.98 and remaining pay with your credit card. Best way to spend the reminder for any prepaid credit card.

      Seems you didnt get the concept of discounted giftcard. Its a savings from the usual price of giftcard. But if you are doing more than that ie gaming the system and then complain that 18$ is stupid and more than the cost of your precious time??? Is ozbargain forcing you to save 18$?

      • Oofy Doofy on 21/10/2022 - 14:55

        It's not worth the hassle, it's as simple as that IMO. You have to keep the cards on you, not lose them, keep track of how much is spent on each card… on and on it goes. No thanks. Make it a 25% discount, after the fee, then I'll consider it.

        If you read through the thread here, people are ragging on it for other completely valid reasons, so just another several nails in the coffin.

          You cant just vote neg on feelings or whether you personally are going to take up the offer
          There has to be something actually wrong with the merchant or deal or a better deal going.
