      Can confirm both using directly or buying food dollars in Liven is categorised under Fast Food Restaurants.

      • 90percent on 26/12/2022 - 20:44

        Is this through Google/Apple pay or did you manage to add the Restaurant Choice card directly to Liven?

        • coduge on 26/12/2022 - 22:57

          I checked Liven's MCC using some other visa card I have, though to use the Restaurant Choice card, you will likely need to use it through Google/Apple pay, as Liven tries to do an authorisation before adding a new card.

    Just bought. Here are some warnings.

    Lots of steps and lots of info required. Plainly they are selling your data.

    Far from seamless; lots of verification codes needed and they didn’t always work.

    Adding to Apple Wallet also a pain; you have to do it manually.

    Will try using it tonight at a fancy restaurant, and report back. Even assuming it does work it’s almost not worth the hassle.

      I have to agree with you, took me few minutes just to add 1 card to my Google wallet.
      So many hops to go through

    • Nick K on 12/12/2022 - 18:59

      I dont know, 5 mins for $45 discount (if you buy $300) seems worth it to me.

    • SgtBatten on 13/12/2022 - 08:14

      Holy @#%$ what a pain in the butt.

      You have to do it for all cards, can't just login an add.

      And the stupid animation that plays when you open the link is just a waste of time.

    • dwarves on 13/12/2022 - 08:46

      So, I didn’t try it at the restaurant as planned, but it worked this morning for a $100 charge at Bill’s Double Bay. On balance, worth the (substantial) hassle.

  • shawnau on 12/12/2022 - 18:05

    I keep getting the error when trying to add the card to apple wallet, did anyone get the same issue?

    • li1123k on 19/12/2022 - 12:01

      Me too, ‘contact the issuer’

      Has your issue been resolved yet?

  • Tafe on 12/12/2022 - 18:36

    Seamlessly added to Google Wallet, YMMV.

  • yht on 12/12/2022 - 19:29

    I can add to Google Wallet but need to verify card online by entering CVC code, then an error occur. Can I still use the card via Google Pay then ?

    • Ametric on 12/12/2022 - 23:17

      I have got exactly the same here, hoping it can be still used for tap payments

  • yht on 12/12/2022 - 19:51

    I am with Google Pay now and they said I have to contact the bank to assist me allowing the card to be added to Google Pay. Anyone got the same response ?

  • BargainGhost on 12/12/2022 - 19:59

    To add your card to Apple, Google or Samsung Pay wallets, use the ‘add card manually’ feature on your devices digital wallet, enter the Card Number, Expiry Date and CVV of your card, and then the name, address and telephone number used for your cards registration.
    We are actively working on resolution to the ‘Add to wallet’ feature and hope to have fixed soon.

    We apologies for the inconvenience

  • JordanM on 12/12/2022 - 20:51

    Anyone tried adding this card to Eatclub/using it with Eatclub Pay?

      Yes I have tried and it works fine

      • JordanM on 15/12/2022 - 00:28

        Can confirm I successfully used it today.

    • leiiv on 16/12/2022 - 17:31

      Yes! Works for me too. Good stacking here.

  • povertytrap on 12/12/2022 - 21:40

    Can’t add to Apple wallet automatically or manually then how can you use it as a method of payment?

  • Bargain2020 on 12/12/2022 - 21:40

    Interesting that TCN Restaurant Card and Restaurant Choice both have Richmond, Victoria contact information. Any chance they are the same “company”?

    I’m also having problems adding my Restaurant Choice to Apple Pay. I tried to add it manually, and Apply Pay said it was added to my Wallet but I can’t find it. When I tried to add it again, I got a message saying that it was already added. I’m contacting Apple to resolve.

  • Francis82 on 12/12/2022 - 21:41

    So this should work with domino's ,Coles ,woolies? Could see the selection just some posh restaurants in Perth would come ouup on mine so far

    • Pseudo on 13/12/2022 - 16:03
      +1

      I bought and used this yesterday at Domino's by tapping it at the counter through Google Pay. Not sure why you would think Coles & Woolworths would work though, I would think they are classified as Supermarkets and not the merchant types listed in the deal description.

    • danielh on 19/12/2022 - 12:18

      I also tried to use it at the Coles self serve coffee kiosk in the hope that the POS terminal was defined as one of the acceptable merchant types but it was not. Otherwise works great in most places (tap and go).

  • RIPwallet on 12/12/2022 - 22:15

    Thanks OP
    Bought one just then to try and paid for dinner without a hitch!

  • danielh on 12/12/2022 - 22:35
    +4

    FYI if you have a $250 Coles Mastercard, just put in the custom value of $294 and after the code PERFECT15, it will reduce it by $249.90. Worked for me just then.

    For $100 Coles Mastercards, you can try $117 (I did not try decimal points in the Restaurant Card custom amount field but you can try to get the extra few more cents by going for $177.64).

    I then added it to the Blackhawk "My Prepaid Centre" account I already had and then saved the card to my Apple Wallet manually onto my iPhone and then onto my Apple Watch as it just asked me and I only needed to say 'Yes'.

    Overall pretty easy to set up.

    EDIT: Also just did it for a $250 Vanilla VISA Gift Card as well.

  • Lancerx on 12/12/2022 - 22:40

    Same with good food gift card, worked at most of the cafes and restautants, even though not listed at website. I think as long as they are registered as restaurant, it should be fine, but I did have issue using it in fast foods

    • danielh on 12/12/2022 - 22:46

      Really?! This is great news as I was recently gifted these as a present and found using them very limited in Victoria. I had not tried it anywhere except for Five Guys (Southbank) and so after that rejection I didn't dare try anywhere that was not on the official list.

      • souths123 on 14/12/2022 - 22:41

        but was that a physical or digital card? It is the digital version that is more versatile

        • danielh on 17/12/2022 - 13:24

          Mine is Physical. :-(

  • RADISHYUEN on 13/12/2022 - 00:56

    I bought several cards last month with the 20%off deal but fail to add in my apple wallet… Is anyone facing that issue too? really don't know how to deal with that.. I have contacted with the customer service several times but their suggestions are useless…..

    • Mxx on 14/12/2022 - 12:36

      You can add the card to apply wallet manually, just enter the card number/CVV etc. shown on myprepaidcentre as normal.

      • povertytrap on 14/12/2022 - 13:42

        Doesn’t work for me.

      • RADISHYUEN on 15/12/2022 - 04:52

        yeah add in wallet manually is the only way to use the digital cards, but it just keep showing fail to add the card…

        • Imposter on 15/12/2022 - 16:21

          Same here, spent over 2 hours this afternoon but still unable to add the card to apple pay.

          • danielh on 17/12/2022 - 13:27

            @Imposter: Just to confirm, you:
            1. Went on your iPhone to the 'Wallet' app
            2. Clicked on that little PLUS sign on the top right to add in a new card
            3. At the screen where it is trying to use the camera to scan in a card, you select add in a car manually option on the bottom of that screen
            4. Enter in the Account Name, CC details etc then click ADD
            5. Optionally ass in Apple Watch access (if you have one)

            Which one of these steps did this fail for you?

  • davlloyd on 13/12/2022 - 07:43

    Love the concept and was ready to buy but being a Sydney Northern Beaches resident, there are very limited restaurants listed. Am I missing something with the statement ‘accepted everywhere’ but then only a set list of supported restaurants are supported on the website?

  • voteoften on 13/12/2022 - 17:45

    I bought one as a trial. I had to manually add it to my apple wallet. It appears as a blank white. Theres no information as to the card number ir anything. Id like to buy more but i dont know how to keep track of them if they are blank. I dont like having to go to a whole other web page to check
    The balance

    • povertytrap on 13/12/2022 - 21:15

      I have the same with a message below it saying it is activated. Have you tested it in a restaurant to see if it works? You can get the balance by registering it in their my prepaid centre do I don’t think that is too big a problem.

      • danielh on 13/12/2022 - 21:43

        Mine was blank as well and did not work at Laurant (bakery) when I went in to get some bread and a croissant.

        • povertytrap on 13/12/2022 - 21:57

          Would that not work at a bakery anyway?

              @danielh: Took an 85 cent hit for the team and tried to buy a cone at Maccas from the blank white card in the wallet. Glad to report that it worked. The transaction is also recorded in the wallet. Happy days.

              @danielh: Mine was blank too. I tried at a sushi store but did not work. the phone did not respond at all with the blank card. was your transaction declined or no transactions at all?

            • danielh on 15/12/2022 - 19:48

              @danielh: UPDATE. The blank one worked for me at another place. I guess it is dependent on if the POS terminal is really set up with the corresponding merchant codes.

              • povertytrap on 16/12/2022 - 19:17

                @danielh: That would still be the same for someone whose card is normal (“non blank”)

      My card turned up blank too when added to apple pay. Called them to request for a swap to a physical card which I haven’t received yet. I think it is the problem with the card rather than the phone and is not inclined to buy another one as the only way to use the e-gift card is to add it to the apple wallet. It seems that quite a number of people have the blank card problem.

      • povertytrap on 15/12/2022 - 00:29

      not sure, I bought 5 the other day (in one order….most for presents 4 x $50 + 1 x $100 for me) and another 1 today for me ($300) Wish I had bought more now when they had the 20% off last month, but I was unsure about them when I did and I got 1 $100 + 2 x $300 then (I had a big lunch coming up for my daughter's 30th and my son's 33rd birthday, so spent $500 out of the 2 x $300 then anyway)

    • danielh on 18/12/2022 - 13:45

      I have purchased 4 x $300 under the one account over multiple days. All linked to the one email. No issues for me. Used PC Firefox for all purchases.

      I will note though that the 4th one I got (this morning (12 noon) has only received the Tax Invoice but not the other email with the actual CARD details itself. It is usually almost instant.

            @Poor Ass: Considering the merchant categories it definitely may work.

            For what it’s worth I have used it successfully at Sea World Resort (Hotel) Bar and Restaurant.

          • WookieMonster on 28/12/2022 - 09:59

            @Poor Ass: YMMV.

            I tried using a card stored on a mobile wallet to pay for a hotel stay recently, but the hotel insisted that I present a physical card for two reasons:

            • They wanted to make sure the card was actually in my name, as they had a few fraudulent transactions in recent times with stolen cards, so they insisted on checking that the card being used had my name as the cardholder.

            • The EFTPOS terminal would only accept a bond payment by insert or swipe. Although my Samsung phone supports MST, the hotel staff thought I was telling porkies when I said that my Samsung phone can mimic a card being swiped…

            • Poor Ass on 28/12/2022 - 10:17

              @WookieMonster: what happened at the end?

              did they end up accepting the Restaurant Choice on wallet to pay for the stay and then you use cc for bond?

              • WookieMonster on 28/12/2022 - 10:40

                @Poor Ass: Nope, I had to pay for both the hotel stay and the bond using my credit card.
