              @rustproofhydra: I tried to pay for my rego in Parkwood WA post office, the person refuse to use the cards insisting they are gift cards, not credit cards. I went to another post office, pay with them with no issue at all.

          I set a pin to a card and then add the card to Paypal. The card was blocked by the issuer. I had to call the help line (waited for 30mins) to get it unblocked. I am not sure why that happened.

          • Supernanny on 06/04/2023 - 09:36

            @fatice: Mine was blocked too when I tried to link it to PayPal. When I rang he said they consider it the same as trying to use an atm/cash out/ over the counter at a financial institution. He unblocked it without fuss. He also suggested taking a photo of the front and back to help with replacement if you lose it.

            A word of caution before throwing card under the rug check the balance and make sure all cards work and have loaded balance

    • tunzafun001 on 04/04/2023 - 21:56

      Only via Paypal.

      • Its4me on 04/04/2023 - 22:11

        Ah, so I can add these cards to paypal for any purchase, can I?

        • WookieMonster on 04/04/2023 - 22:26
          +2

          Yes.

          Linking it to a PayPal account and then paying via PayPal would get around a lot of the issues you may otherwise encounter with some online merchants (e.g. Woolworths Group gift card portal, Prezzee, Card.Gift), because some online merchants do not accept cards lacking support for 3-D Secure (or in Woolworths Group’s case, they specifically do not accept Coles Mastercard gift cards).

          • z28 on 05/04/2023 - 12:26

            @WookieMonster: Can I use several cards in one purchase eg using 4 cards in PayPal for $1000 item.

            • WookieMonster on 05/04/2023 - 19:00
              +1

              @z28: No.

              PayPal will only let you use one card as a funding source for a single transaction.

              If you are paying for something online, you will struggle to find a merchant that will let you do split payments between multiple Mastercards online.

              If you are paying for something in-person, it depends on whether the merchant can do it (i.e. their checkout system can do it) and whether the merchant is happy to do it.

          • Supernanny on 06/04/2023 - 09:28
            +1

            @WookieMonster: I tried linking mine to PayPal last night and it was declined and locked my card. When I rang them this morning I was told that they consider using it on PayPal as the same as trying to use at an atm or over the counter at a financial institution which is excluded in clause 2. Anyway he re-activated it.
            You may fare better, just letting people know my experience.

            • WookieMonster on 06/04/2023 - 09:33

              @Supernanny: That's a first.

              I find it interesting that InComm does not allow that (at least in your case), because another Blackhawk Network (another prepaid gift card issuer) actively encourages users to link their prepaid Activ Visa gift cards to PayPal to get around the non-acceptance of prepaid gift cards at some online merchants… and they have the same clause telling you not use Activ Visa gift cards to pay a financial institution.

              The problem is that PayPal is not an ATM and you are not physically paying over the counter (i.e. at a human teller) at a financial institution when using PayPal, so it would be a strange interpretation of that clause in their terms. InComm will probably blacklist Sniip next if that is their new position on PayPal…

              • Supernanny on 06/04/2023 - 09:43

                @WookieMonster: fatice further up the thread had the same thing happen.
                I agree that it is a strange interpretation and I can’t see why using it on PayPal for my own added security can harm the card issuers but huh I’m just a user of their “service” trying to save a few bucks legitimately without having some low life cyber steal my money out of the blue!

            • fatice on 09/04/2023 - 09:28

              @Supernanny: What did you do to your card before linking to PayPal?

              The card that I had problem with was the one that I set a PIN prior linking to PayPal. Was that the reason for the automatic blocking?

      Yez. I do it via the Medibank app, under Me > Manage Payments > Pay Premium > Pay Specific Amount, change card number to your relevant one and put $250 in amount field. That’ll put you $250 in front of your usual DD.

  • Cluster on 05/04/2023 - 08:59

    5 cards per customer per day. Great. So that means I can keep going back every day and buying cards, or is there some sort of hard limit that eventually applies?

    Previously one could simply avoid scanning their FlyBuys card, and Coles would never know how many cards were purchased during the week. Now, that's impossible.

    • JIMB0 on 05/04/2023 - 09:02

      The number of days in the promotion period is a rather hard limit. 5 cards by 7 days is 35 cards total.

      • hamza23 on 05/04/2023 - 09:06

        Only 4 days for this promo period, due to public holidays, so maximum 20 cards. That is assuming there is still stock as well of course, which would be surprising.

    The cards are now kept behind Coles service desk and payment made directly when cards issued. That should stop tamper issues previously as cards not on display.

    Check your docket before you leave to make sure they are all approved. I just bought two to test whether it seemed worthwhile to me and when I got home one showed as declined on the docket.

    • Spend2save on 05/04/2023 - 16:02

      Same with me, spent 1/2hr in store resolving. But clear alert it didn’t process on checkout screen.

    • z28 on 05/04/2023 - 16:29

      At Raine Square today (Perth), I got 5 and paid at the womanned counter. After I paid the discounted cost of $1156.5, the certification process kicked off, four went through and one failed. The lady at the counter said I could grab another card but she couldn't be sure that I would get a discount for the replaced card (it might be counted as the 6th card for the day) so I opted for refund. Two ladies couldn't work out how much to refund so they put $257 through as refund: an extra $25.7 bonus today.

      The moral of the story: don't pay for these at the self-assisted (their word) counter, these ladies/men might be patronising but at least problems are sorted on the spot (and you might score a win)

        I’m meeting the lady who dealt with it tomorrow morning. I’ll update you with what she does to fix it. When I spoke to her on the phone earlier she talked about re-loading the declined card. I think she spent ages on the phone to the card supplier/colesmastercard number to find out what to do.

        • io on 06/04/2023 - 10:51

            @io: Same state, different store. Two cards in same transaction.
            When I went in today she had the old one ready to toss in the bin and a new one ready to put through the till while I was there watching.
            I said we should have just done a refund yesterday in hindsight. She said “they” don’t like you to do that.
            We agreed that whoever imposed that rule didn’t have to spend most of yesterday afternoon on the phone to unhelpful people finding out what the procedure is.
            TLDR my declined card got replaced with a new approved one by service desk personnel.

            • io on 06/04/2023 - 16:35

    Went to Southlands Coles yesterday. No $250's on shelves. Service desk staff advised there were issues with these cards causing havoc to their computer systems… But the $100 cards were ok. Not sure if I believed the staff member. Anyway, loads of $100's on the shelf if you want those. Good luck.

    I just used this to put $250 on Medibank Private and $250 on an advanced payment for Electricity. Not often do you get credit for services like this so thinking its worthwhile to top up and put some more on.

      Is it straightforward to do this? Do they acknowledge payment with a receipt or “you are covered up until x date” notification? I want to pay ahead before my premium increase in June. Cheers.

        yeah it was - if you log into medibank private on the website, click on payments, then can click on pay premium (then enter card details). I only added $250, however, will be buying more cards this week when I can get back to Coles (600km drive to the shops!). In my case it says "Your payments are up to date. Your policy is paid up to 18 Jun 2023"

          That’s great to see that Medibank give you a “paid up to” date. Thank you for your reply and instructions on method.
          Good luck with the round trip back to Coles but don’t forget the offer expires on Tuesday.
          Cheers.

    Has anyone used these for an international purhcase?

    If so, do you pay the ~3% Mastercard currency conversion rate?
