A huge shoutout to @fauxtographies for tipping me off about this deal.
This deal seems to be only available at Ampol Foodary and Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations. These locations usually do not have any signage regarding this deal, but you should ask the attendant whether their AmpolCash gift cards are discounted by 5%.
This should be stackable with any Ampol cashback offer for instore spending, including the current AMEX cashback offer.
For anyone unfamiliar with AmpolCash gift cards:
AmpolCash physical gift cards (i.e. the gift cards in this deal) are accepted at all service stations listed on the Ampol store locator with EFTPOS facilities, including EG Ampol.1
AmpolCash Digital gift cards are only redeemable at 62% of service stations listed on the Ampol store locator… and if anyone was wondering, EG Ampol service stations do not accept AmpolCash Digital gift cards.
Other tips in regards to AmpolCash physical gift cards:
They can be redeemed in conjunction with most fuel discount offers available at Ampol.
They cannot be used as a payment method for FuelPay via the Ampol app, nor Pay at Pump via the EG Club app.
AFAIK, they cannot be used to pay for any gift cards at Ampol or EG Ampol service stations. I have tried this at both types of service stations in the past (although not recently) and got error messages on the EFTPOS terminal every time saying that my payment method was not permitted.
Even if you set a PIN on an AmpolCash physical gift card, you do not need to enter the PIN to redeem the gift card if you paying instore. Swiping the gift card and only pressing Enter on the EFTPOS terminal when prompted for a PIN is sufficient to redeem the funds on the gift card.
The only ways you can check the balance of an AmpolCash physical gift card are to (1) check the receipt for the last purchase made using the gift card, (2) calling the AmpolCash team during operating hours or (3) emailing the AmpolCash team.
