VALENTINE

Per title. My own experience with these cards is that they're a bit of a hassle to set up, but they do work in most restaurants, so worth the hassle if you go to a lot of…restaurants.

    These were a pain in the ass to setup. I had to play with so many puzzles.

      Why not just ask to do a partial payment?

    • tajid on 08/02/2023 - 12:33

      Just ask to split pay at the restaurant if they don't mind.

      • t25 on 08/02/2023 - 13:17

        Some restaurants won’t allow split payment. Which is the ones I go to on a regular basis.

          Someone couldn’t use it as bettys burger I remember.

          • andresampras on 08/02/2023 - 13:28

            @me1stt: Does that mean the restaurant has to opt in?

            On that case shouldn't there be a comprehensive list of where you can/can't use it

            • me1stt on 08/02/2023 - 13:31

              @andresampras: There is list:

              You can use your Restaurant Choice gift card at thousands of restaurants, bars, cafes & fast-food establishments that accept EFTPOS or Visa cards around Australia.

              I’ve been using this card without any problems tho.

    • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 12:45

        yeah hotel, motels and resorts

        MCC can't tell if you are paying accommodation or food / drinks

        20% would be great

        • Bullion78 on 08/02/2023 - 15:10

          So is this direct at hotels or would it work for expedia agoda etc?

          • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 15:28

            @Bullion78: won't work on online websites because they are not actually accommodation but online service

            • YesPleaseThankYou on 08/02/2023 - 15:30

              @Poor Ass: That would depend on how the merchant has been classified and whether the merchant type is in one of the allowed categories.

              • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 15:32
                +1

                @YesPleaseThankYou: correct but I know that already

                sometimes even if they are a restaurant and their EFTPOS is not setup as a restaurant it also can get declined… especially if they are using those square payments and not traditional EFTPOS terminals issued by banks

    • Jstrrrr on 08/02/2023 - 13:24

      Can you explain what that means please? Are you able to add the balances from these cards to an Eat Club account or do you simply pay at an Eat Club discounted restaurant when you turn up? I have never used/heard of Eat Club before. Thanks.

      • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 13:43
        +1

        you enter the card like a visa / master credit card on the eat club app as payment…

        when you have locked in a deal with eat club, simply bring up the eat club virtual card on your phone wallet and pay… it will deduct the discounted amount off the restaurant choice card

        so e.g. you saw a 20% dine in off offer and your total is $15.00, when you tap your eat club card on your wallet it will show $15.00 paid but it'll only take $12 from your Restaurant Choice card

        • cloudy on 08/02/2023 - 14:04

          and when your RC card has low balance do you just remove it and add another one?

          • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 14:06

            @cloudy: yeah you can do that

            you can actually add a couple of cards in the eat club app

            it's pretty much a visa card

        • Jstrrrr on 08/02/2023 - 15:10

          Thanks for the explanation. What happens when the balance runs low, like $2.3? Would Eat Club let you use it up and pay for the rest with a normal credit card? I hate wasting small change. Just doesn't sit well with me. The other day my $50 card got down to 25c because of a cashier error and I debated ages on what to do with the balance. Imagine asking the restaurant to split a bill and put 24c on a card…..

          • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 15:30
            +1

            @Jstrrrr: if it is $2.3 and not enough the card will just decline and you probably can't pay using eat club unless you link it to another card that has enough money

            no split bills on eat club

            usually I split 20,30c at maccas or HJs…. buy an ice cream

    • Craze on 08/02/2023 - 22:05

      Good tip to use with Eatclub offers!

  • mrhorse on 08/02/2023 - 12:53

    Clarifying on whether it can be used at KFC or Meccas might earn you more votes.

    • ivyholmes on 08/02/2023 - 13:40
      +1

      You can buy multiple of $300 though, let's say you bought 4 of $300, the total will be become $1080

  • Jstrrrr on 08/02/2023 - 13:26

    Huge hassle to use. Many restaurants don't allow split bills. Some allow, but only by percentage, so you need to calculate what percentage of the bill is your balance on the card. And, if the restaurant charges a surcharge for card payment, there is no tell if that surcharge has already been added to the restaurant bill amount unless you pay attention, and if not, your carefully calculated percentage gets pushed over and your attempted payment is rejected because it exceed your balance by whatever the surcharge percentage is.

    • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 13:45

      correction

      many restaurants you go to don't allow split bills

      so just know your balance and allow for surcharge before paying… if you got small amounts, use it up at fast food joints they are happen to split it up… I got digital and physical cards that have like 10c , 20c no issues

      • aaron3 on 08/02/2023 - 23:27

        Where have you split out of interest? I am aware of Nandos, Sushihub, Subway, Grill'd and GYG

        • Poor Ass on 09/02/2023 - 08:46

          Maccas, HJs some local cafes and restaurants….

          But only if they know how to do it

          One of the subways I know swear they can't do card and card only card and cash.

          • tajid on 26/02/2023 - 12:13

            @Poor Ass: This is what they just said at my local maccas. What did you say in response? Had a couple under $1 cards I wanted to use to buy soft serve but they said had to partly pay with cash.

            • Poor Ass on 26/02/2023 - 12:22

              @tajid: My experience with maccas and hj is everynow and then the system let's you do multiple cards and sometimes only card and cash

              So for me if multiple cards work one time, you might not be able to be next time. But eventually you can. At first I thought they were just trying to get rid of me but they were telling the truth

    • Jstrrrr on 08/02/2023 - 15:14

      And when the rejection happens, you don't know if it's because the restaurant doesn't accept this card to start with or if it's because of the 1.5% surcharge or because you selected Savings instead of something else, so you try and try again and keep failing…

      • Poor Ass on 09/02/2023 - 08:49

        Usually restaurant don't accept

        You just use another card then

        I've accidentally press cheque instead of savings on the physical card and put in pin still works. If you put in the wrong pin for savings it will tell you

  • Poor Ass on 08/02/2023 - 13:54

    Annoying that this is offered the day after the Woolworths promotion ended.

    I would have preferred the digital version. The physical cards are a pain as they require swipe, which some locations don't have.

    • excusemesir on 11/02/2023 - 14:13

      I am having the same issue. Been trying to resolve it for the past hour. When I click on 'Add Card to Wallet' from the MyPrepaidCentre website, it asks me to enter my phone number. I get a link for an app which is PrePaidCentER (blackhawk is the developer).
      When I open the app, the instructions are:
      1. Visit the website where you activated the virtual card, and select the Add to Wallet button to add to your digital wallet.
      2. Open digital wallet to access and spend your card.

      Note, there are no buttons on this app at all.

      When I go back to the website and click "Add Card to Wallet", I'm back to my previous step.

      Anyone know what I'm missing?

      The customer service rep knows nothing.

      • aoliren on 11/02/2023 - 14:59

        Try get card info from website and manually enter the info into Apple pay.
        Hope it's helpful.

        • t25 on 11/02/2023 - 15:59
