      that’s how coles refunded me. i don’t have the other receipt.

      • So rinse and repeat is not working or only refunded for this transaction only

      • That store clearly didn't know what they are doing, they should only refund the amount you paid.

    • Dang, Wish we'd gottten more declines.

    First thing this morning, local Coles conveniently has no $100/250, but plenty of $50. Pretty obvious some staff have set aside for themselves.

    • Ldoubt it, ppl hid them
      The game is now to try find them

  • I got the only 3 x $250 cards at one Coles (had to ask at service desk). Another Coles had none but picked up 5 x $100 cards.

  • +1

    none available in most western sydney coles :( too late … !

    most probably staff putting them aside for family & friends & Kitty :D

    • -1

      Not delivered or hung up yet.

      Fresh stock expiry date 6/27.

  • someone smashed all the cards already at my local

    arrived at 7.30am, had heaps of people buzzing around that section too

  • +1

    Just tried, but can NOT use old Coles prepaid MasterCard to pay for it, can anyone confirm it please?
    If this is the case, no deal

    • Same, can’t be used as payment, still deal

      • Surprisingly, Coles eGC > Coles Gift MasterCard here.

        • can you use Coles eGF to buy the Coles Gift Mastercard?

          • @HeyHi: Yes, I have. The systems allows it but some staff may try to stop you.

      • What do you mean by old Coles prepaid MasterCard?

        What about using the ones from this deal to buy more cards of this current deal? Will that work?

    • Coles has now closed the loophole you can't use Coles prepaid MC or Vanilla card to pay for either of these 2 cards.

      • Which leaves a perfect question to answer that why eGC is still allowed.

        Coz it is meant to be allowed.

  • +3

    Card was activated at counter and no 4 hours wait.

    • +2

      Same here. No need for the delay now that they have stopped the rinse and repeat method.

      • -2

        rinse & repeat?

        • Buy 5 cards then use same cards to buy another 5 cards. Then keep doing that.
          Means you only need to have enough money to fund the initial purchase and then can keep buying more cards indefinitely.

          • +1

            @Xishnik: Did not work tried to buy $100's using $250 ones.

        • thanks 4 info friends

  • +1

    Lots at my local, I only bought 5 though due to the limit in the T&C.

    • Yeah, even the most innocent girl will stop you from buying the 6th now.

      • +1

        If they are held at the service desk, then you don't need an innocent girl to stop you.
        You wait for said innocent girl's morning shift to be over, and come back in the evening after work.

    Worst experience with coles Manor lakes
    First person to enter store and all shelves are empty

    When asking the manager that’s all that is left and was not even answering to the face

    For this they can better not advertise this sale at all

    • +1

      Not delivered or hung up yet.

      Fresh stock expiry date 6/27.

      You are too early.

      • +1

        When do you think they will hang them up?

        • +1

          Sorry, I think even Steven Cain doesn't know.

  • Can you buy apple gift cards with this?

    • -2

      not sure but you can buy apple fruits with that, 100%

  • +3

    Can someone confirm no 4 hour delay but rinse and repeat not working?

    • +1

      Yes, no more double dip but still work coles physical or E- gift card and coles myer gift card still works.

      • A couple of Coles I went to does not allow me to use egift/CM gift cards. Basically hope that the operator allows it's use.

      • Can you use coles egift card to buy theses?

  • +2

    Heaps at Coles Southern Cross

  • None at my 3 local coles

    Only room for one little row of $250s

    Hopeless

    • went to nearest coles about 9.30am, staff said all gone at 7.30…

  • +1

    Can you buy regular Coles gift cards with these? Would like to liquidate ASAP.

    • +1

      WookieMonster has reported that you can add them to Paypal and then use it to purchase from Prezzee.

      • You can’t add balance to PayPal with a debit/credit card

        • +3

          correct me if im wrong but you dont need to add balance to your paypal just add the card to your paypal and checkout via paypal wherever applicable?

  • +6

    Plenty at the Coles near me (with additional boxes stacked up at the service desk).
    Used them already. Thanks OP!

    A few ideas for those wanting to use immediately:
    - Load onto utility accounts - energy, water, mobile
    - Load onto private health account - mainly if you know there will be rate rises introduced. You can often pay ahead up to 12m in advance
    - Buy other gift cards less susceptible to being hacked

    • +1

      Rates also

    • how do you load on to utility & water account? which utility you use?

      • +1

        Their online portal should have the option of making a one off payment. If not, give them a call and pay ahead over the phone.

    • Can you share the location please

    • with PHI, if you pay in advance and then churn a month in, they refund you the extras right into your bank account rather than original cc?

  • +4

    becareful with prezzee, putting the funds onto prezzee is great but my prezzee account got deactivated for no reason and they request photo ID and transaction history proof etc to reactivate. I don't feel comfortable doing KYC with a none financial institution, lost about $70 on the account but it COULD'VE been worse if someone loaded thousands onto the account and realize they can just delete your account whenever they want which causes problems when you need to swap some funds on the spot to buy something immediately

    • I immediately print or save any cards that I purchase from Prezzee. Also, you can purchase as a guest.

      • Gets tricky when you hold on to Prezzee/Shopback Swap GC's and prefer to swap on the go

        • yeah the whole point is to swap to whatever you need it for, do you have any alternative ways to "preserve" the funds?

      • yeah your case assumes buying specific giftcards but the whole point of prezzee is being swappable

        • I have purchased Prezzee Smart cards as a guest and swapped them a year later not using my account at all.

  • reading all comment above like we got it … i spend more money in petrol finding coles with card then what discount i will get if i do eventually finds it :(

    disappointing all finished most coles i went to for some reason… !

    may be they load more tomorrow as it is shopping day ?

  • +2

    Managed to Call CS human to put the cards on HOLD, So they are less likely to be hacked

    • +1

      What's the number and where?

      Do u call back to unhold

      • The same one on Back of card, starting with 07, select option 1, and identity process, and then consult CS.

        • Long wait for you to get hold of them?

    • Good reminder thanks, will probably do that too!

      • +1

        Wish we could do that from balance portal

        • The portal is from the last century.
          Every single time the captcha loads with a glitch on Sarafi private mode, and you have to reload the whole page to fix it.

  • Managed to get $250 at my local this morning, was surprised they were at the gift card stand and not at service desk! Staff wasn't very happy when I asked about it (based on past experience was expecting to be kept at service desk instead of stand).

    • +7

      Most of the staff aren’t happy when we buying these gift cards, it makes me feel like these gift cards are part of their salary??

      • What is the reason for that? We pay their salary via purchasing?

        • +2

          You might pay their salary but they pay for your discount.

          Based on some of the behaviour it would seem that they are subsidising the 10% off promo.

  • after fee deduction, the value of $250 card is around 7% and today's home loan interest rate around 4.5%-5%, the savings is somewhere 2 - 2.5%

    • +6

      I get the point you're trying to make, but you're comparing a per annum interest rate vs immediate savings.

    • +9

      that calculation only makes sense if you buy the card and hold onto it for a year. If you are using it within 24-48 hours then its much higher than 2.5%

      • thanks thats really change the arguement completely..

  • +2

    Got 10 today at my nearest Coles! $$$ All loaded successfully.

    • Where do you load the cards? I managed to get few as well.

      • I loaded them to my Wise account as soon as I got them.

        • How do you load them into Wise account @toyboy? There is another 2.48% charge if you add money via credit card?

          • @Kittokid: Choose the debit card option. Yes you do have to pay a tiny charge for each load, $0.67 for $250 to be exact, so you load $249.33 to make it comes to $250. I think it's worth it if you are a Wise account user, and you can see the money coming in almost instantly. Hope that make sense!

    • 5 of each 100-250 denom?

      • +1

        Just the 250. Brought wife along, so managed to get 10 in total. :)

        • Wives are so useful.

          • @Yola: Wive's are the reason we need to shoot for these deals!

            • -1

              @GLO: In my family I am the one saving money and my husband loves to spend it.

  • +2

    plenty in my local Coles

  • +1

    They put this advert on ACA, me thinks they did this because a lot of us were asking how they were sold out of $100 and $250 gift cards within 2 hrs of the store opening. The only way you are guaranteed to get one of these cards is to hide them 2 days before the discount happens. Just be prepared for the staff to give you weird looks when you buy them as I am certain they are told to take them off the shelves before the sale begins.

    • People must be unlucky, there were honestly boxes available at my local Coles this morning. Appropriately, the 5/customer rule was being enforced.

      Last time this deal was on, I admit I was a little broden-esque purchasing thousands worth. Even then, I always got them off the shelf or at the service desk (in unpacked boxes that can’t have been pre hidden..). I’d be surprised if the hidden cards / cards taken home issue is a large contributor to overall sales.

    Plenty at my local Coles - got 20 within the fam :)
