    It's a sad day for all

    It is only sad for those hoarding loads of them for this purpose, but not using them up yet.

    • Poor Ass on 20/04/2023 - 11:22

      this statement is incorrect

      • Neoika on 20/04/2023 - 12:54

        OK, I can see you will go to Officeworks much less often.

            @Poor Ass: ref "converting gift cards to cash" care to explain how to get cash at OW?

            • xitong on 23/04/2023 - 15:19

              @coolsteps: Hello, which post can get this news, thank you.

            • abhiz on 25/04/2023 - 17:54

              @coolsteps: Can one buy eftpos gc with OW gc at OW?

  • randomusername2017 on 19/04/2023 - 20:06

    True..
    Very sad post..

    • Neoika on 19/04/2023 - 20:09

      Buying 3rd party giftcards lowers your flybuys points rebate ratio in the annual summary.

        Slow start ..only just hit 60k
        Might need to start buying GC

        Points rebate ratio? What's that? Didn't notice that in last year's summary.

    I'm surprised it lasted this long. Anyone who has a decent amount invested should be able to use them up easily given the large variety of goods you can purchase with them. Anyone can't didn't manage their risk well.

      Same here (for it lasting this long). They probably had to go through outsourced IT team to fix it is my guess.

  • dorikin on 19/04/2023 - 22:18

    Any news on the regular Coles gift cards?

    • Neoika on 19/04/2023 - 22:39

      I would say the same, including Coles Plus giftcard.

      They do not work too.

        Maybe still work at Target/Kmart, not doing sale often though.

          Tried Target and not working :(

  • jv on 20/04/2023 - 01:00

    Just use it to buy eggs then.

  • yikes914 on 20/04/2023 - 10:56

    So just to confirm, Coles Myer Group cards can't be used to buy a different gift card? I couldn't get Coles gift cards to work so that's fine but Coles Myer worked for be before when swiping through as card.

      both Coles digital, Coles physical and Coles Myer Physical would work if they had the full amount to cover the gift card purchases but now it shows invalid mix

      It was working up until and including Tuesday 18/04/2023

      Happy to be proved wrong

        makes sense, i'll test it out tonight

        Same for me. Very disappointed

        Confirmed not working.
        As a regular user of coles gift cards to buy other gift cards, like PlayStation or Nintendo, the checkout girl said “the computer says no”.

        “You can’t use your coles card to buy PlayStation cards anymore”.

        I was gutted. But I knew this day would come.

        • Poor Ass on 26/04/2023 - 08:15

          All good things come to an end

          Is sad indeed

    Yeh, bugger. Worked on Monday. Just failed 10 minutes ago.

    I have purchased literally hundreds of Coles mastercards with discounted Coles gift cards over the years.

    Sad day indeed, but it is true that it is surprising that it has lasted this long.

  • barseeker on 22/04/2023 - 12:31

    so those prezzee coles e cards wont work now?

    • Poor Ass on 22/04/2023 - 15:04

      Coles or Coles Myer

      Prezzee just a reseller

  • coolsteps on 23/04/2023 - 10:25

    can one still buy coles master cards with a eftpos gift cards?

    • Poor Ass on 23/04/2023 - 16:19

      Should do

      Only Coles or Coles Myer can't be used to be gcs
