    How much is that? About 20% off? Don’t shop at coles often so not familiar with flybuys

    • coxymla on 13/11/2022 - 22:56

      10% off, slightly less if you calculate it based on $ spent.

      Still, a good deal especially since you can combine it with discounted Coles-Myer GC.

        Which one's the coles-myer gc deal?

      • freewhere on 13/11/2022 - 23:26

        if you calculate it based on $ spent

          Let’s imagine you purchase $2,000 in Apple gift cards through this deal.

          You have to pay the full face value amount (i.e. $2,000), but if you scan your Flybuys card, your Flybuys account will be credited with a total of 40,000 Flybuys points.

          If you choose to convert your 40,000 Flybuys points into Flybuys Dollars, you will receive $200 in Flybuys Dollars, which is redeemable at a number of retailers.

          However, to get the full benefit of the $200 in Flybuys Dollars, you will need to redeem it.1 Therefore, the calculation some people use is:

          Percentage discount = (1 - ((amount spent) / (amount received in Apple gift cards and Flybuys Dollars))) * 100

          Plugging in the numbers in the example gives…

          (1 - (2000 / (2000 + 200))) * 100 = 9.090909%

          Conversely, some people consider the $200 in Flybuys Dollars as equivalent to cash, as they are going to spend at a business accepting Flybuys Dollars anyway, so they see instead see it as an upfront discount (which would make the percentage 10% instead).

          Personally, I stick to the line I always tell people:

          You will have 10% of the gift card’s face value returned to you in the form of Flybuys points.

          Obviously, any percentages and calculations I have done above go out the window if:

          1. Think about it this way: if you converted your 40,000 Flybuys points into $200 in Flybuys Dollars and then your Flybuys account was shut down before you had a chance to redeem the $200 in Flybuys Dollars, could you really argue you received a 10% discount on the purchase of the Apple gift cards? ↩

            @WookieMonster: Well said.. and correct me if i am wrong but you can use the $200 FLYBUY dollars to buy another $200 apple gift card.. so that surly works out to 10%… or be in 10% bonus apple Giftcard?

              @Chiraag: Just use the $200 worth of Flybuy 'cash' for your regular shopping at Coles and the real 'cash' that you would have used on shopping can go towards buying an extra gift card.

            • WookieMonster on 14/11/2022 - 12:36

              @Chiraag: If you attempt to purchase a gift card at Coles using Flybuys Dollars as a payment method, you should get an Invalid Product Mix error message on the EFTPOS terminal.

              It has happened to me a few times now, so I don't bother trying to purchase a gift card using Flybuys Dollars at Coles anymore.

        Incorrect because there's an upcoming 10% off Ultimate cards @ ALDI sale, and there will likely be 15% off TCN cards, both for use at JB (can buy Apple cards from JB too).

        • georgegates5 on 14/11/2022 - 00:23

            @georgegates5: You can because they're not JB gift cards, they can be swiped at the terminal as though they're a debit card restricted to some stores.

            • financialminimalism on 27/11/2022 - 14:07

              @Techie4066: Sure. You can also have a rebate on your credit card, or some type of cash back, or found $50 lying on the ground. All these things would make it less out of pocket. But I haven’t seen apple gift cards for less than 10% off for quite a while and don’t think we will. Would you you to point out otherwise because that would be a great bargain.

              • Techie4066 on 27/11/2022 - 14:18

                @financialminimalism: Might want to read my replies again. They've been effectively 15% off all week.

                        @financialminimalism: There's no stacking involved. Buy the appropriate Ultimate Gift card from AusPost tomorrow, then walk into JB, pick up some Apple GCs, swipe your Ultimates - boom, 15% off! Tell me how that's stacking mate?

                          @Techie4066: It's stacking because you're taking one offer and applying it to another, you just said you needed to walk into two different stores to buy something. I.e. you're buying a gift card from one retailer to buy a gift card at another retailer, it's not getting the Apple GC for 10% off directly, you're doing it by applying another offer.

      • melbourne guy on 14/11/2022 - 09:19

        There are occasional 10% off sales (rather than the 20x points offers) but other than a risky hack (e.g. the suggestion above of using TCN cards at JB to by Apple Gift Cards), it's the best you are likely going to get.

              @xmagic: Sorry how can you use Apple ID balance for Apple Pay??? You’ve outlined how you can use a gift card to buy Apple Care + unless I’m mistaken, not what the person was asking

              • xmagic on 27/11/2022 - 16:38

                @financialminimalism: You use GIFT CARDs to purchase AC+ in store. NOT Apple account balance. It has to be in the form of an Apple Gift Card redemption code.

                The Apple retail store process all payments via EasyPay (their iPhone-based POS system) and AC+ in store is no exception. That’s why you can use gift card. Once the gift card become account balance, no. However there is a way to revert balance back to the gift card. However it’s very hard to do so and requires a lot of call with iTunes team. I heard other people did it but I gave up after two calls.

      You can redeem up to 8 Apple gift cards in one online transaction (including on the Apple On Campus site you refer to).

      You can add Apple gift cards to get around this restriction for Apple’s online stores (as suggested above), but keep in mind:

      • Adding an Apple gift card’s balance to an Apple Account Associated Balance is not reversible.

      • You cannot redeem an Apple Account Associated Balance at a physical Apple Store (at least not yet in Australia).

        Yes, you can use to pay for Disney+ only if you purchased it via the Apple App Store. If you subscribed direct to Disney+ and linked your Apple device later it won’t work. It’s the same for most streaming services - at various times I’ve subbed to D+, Netflix, Stan, Binge, and Prime directly from the Apple TV and been able to use the credit applied to my Apple account. That’s why I always loved the 15-20% off iTunes cards we used to see, but they’re sadly no more. ;-(

    Stop buying these people! There is always too much demand for Apple Gift Cards and Supermarkets stopped offering 30x rewards points and I'm afraid they might drop the bonus rate to 15x if the demand continues!

    • melbourne guy on 14/11/2022 - 09:28
      +3

      I'm convinced the 30x was a one time offer when the Apple Gift Card was first introduced, because it hasn't happened again. I don't think people snapping up 20x offers is to blame here. Plus offers like this might mean the difference between someone going to Woolies or Coles for their larger grocery shops, so there will always be an incentive to offer these bonuses.

      • Sharp on 15/11/2022 - 07:37

        We had 30x offers in August, September and October 2021 but the demand was so high supermarkets dropped the rate to 20x after that. If the demand continues like this, we’ll unlikely see 30x offers ever again.

    • melbourne guy on 14/11/2022 - 15:02
      +2

      Easiest way is to buy 3 of the variable gift cards, put $500 on 2 of them and $399 on the third one. The gift cards are usually on the end of an aisle opposite the registers but there may be an additional standalone stand floating around the store too. Take them to the register (ideally use the ones attached to the service desk) and tell them how much money you want to put on each card. You want to buy the minimum amount of cards possible because there is a maximum limit of 5 for this promotion.

    be careful when you get the gift card
    I was just at coles, and bought 300$ apple gift card, after payment the 200$ got declined to active by apple
    upon checking the card was opened, someone probably took the pic of the code want try to redeem it once it got sold in store
    lucky I found out on the spot, so I went to get a new card to get it replaced, I checked at the stall 5 or more cards at the front all been opened

      Yikes!

      I gotta admit this is my nightmare. I can just imagine when you try to explain to the counter that they just think you're trying to rip them off.

      I will definitely try check for open cards.

      Thanks for sharing your experience!
      One would never imagine this would happen so it will really hurt the victims!
      Coles should do a much better job in safeguarding these

    these cards go off so fast! I went to Coles at noon and the shelves are already empty!

      depends where you are. I just went to grab some and there were plenty left.

    So…..i skipped the woolies deal for the ultimate gift cards because hearing so many ppl aren't getting their bonus points. I took the chance on this deal given that my goal is to buy an apple product. Is flybuy points generally given without having to chase up?

      Yes, generally by the end of next day.

        not in my account. It is advertised in their weekly catalogue so i assume it is for everyone with a flybuys card.

    Can report happily that yesterday morning around 7:30am I purchased several of the variable cards, was able to load them into my apple account same day with no issues.

    Have also just received the full flybuys points from the promo. I was a total idiot when I purchased them from a self serve check out as I forgot to scan my flybuys card but was able to take my card plus receipt to the service desk to get the number added.

    In the last hour the flybuys points have also appeared on my account. Very happy and good experience unlike some of the not so great stories from others.

    Can these be used with the Apple shopping event later this month?

        If you click the link to Apple in this deal it will take you to the sale event page. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/737657

        25th to 28th November. I think everything is listed out on the page, there is no real secret reveal like the days at the top might suggest.
