    I smell credit card bonus points!

      How so? You would have to buy significant amount to earn meaningful points, which is a risk if you can't spend it at places you wanted to.

        He's talking about easy spending to meet minimum spending requirement for a new credit card

        • browser on 02/05/2023 - 08:20

          Ah, got you. Would have to send thousands to earn enough points to cover a $25 gift card.

          To meet spend requirements for bonus points makes sense, similar to cashback deals.

  • Zippy7 on 01/05/2023 - 22:07

    It would be nice if we could pay with a bunch of partially used Vanilla Visa and Coles MC cards that have odd/leftover amounts.
    Effectively consolidating the balances and making it more useful.
    I suppose wishful thinking.

    • easternculture on 01/05/2023 - 22:12

      Can we buy with the coles mastercards/vanilla gift cards to reduce chances of hacking.

      Potentially gift card inception as these should work at coles to rinse and repeat

      Can you just use them to pay utility bills online?

      While you cannot split payment like in the shops, you can most likely pay multiple times with different amounts.

      Even if you overpay, the extra will sit in your account as credit.

      • ATangk on 02/05/2023 - 01:51

        Yes but found out there’s also minimum $10 per transaction on some post bill pay

          I see, split payments at supermarket self-checkouts is a viable option too.

    @WookieMonster asking the king of cards, can these cards be used to pay the ATO debt at myGov? Also do we know the surcharge by any chance? TIA

    • easternculture on 01/05/2023 - 22:13

      Well i was able to pay my remaining tax debt with the coles mastercards a week ago

      They wouldnt accept itunes gift cards though lol

    • WookieMonster on 01/05/2023 - 22:21
      +17

      No.

      I tried to use an Activ Visa gift card on the ATO portal last year, but it was declined by Blackhawk Network.

      I also noticed last night that clause 1 of the Activ Visa gift card terms and conditions specifically mentions that payments to the ATO are not permitted on Activ Visa gift cards. That was not in the terms and conditions when I tried to use it on the ATO portal last year, so I wonder whether someone lodged an AFCA complaint against Heritage Bank…

          No worries! I also completely ignored your second question (sorry).

          When I tried to use the Activ Visa gift card on the ATO portal last year, the portal indicated I would pay a 0.4% surcharge, which is the same as Vanilla Visa gift cards (and is the ATO's Visa debit card surcharge).

      • askbargain on 01/05/2023 - 22:28

        Aren’t AFCA complaints public at some point?

      • sub102 on 01/05/2023 - 22:32

        Any other restrictions you know about these compared to Coles Mastercard gift cards? Asking assuming these are less hackable than them

        • WookieMonster on 01/05/2023 - 22:37

          I know that Woolworths did not accept physical Activ Visa gift cards as a payment method for some gift cards (e.g. Perfect EFTPOS gift cards, Activ Visa gift cards) in their stores last year, and I assume that is still the case. I think Activ Visa gift cards on a mobile wallet face the same restrictions at Woolworths, but I am not 100% sure on that one.

          I don’t think there are any restrictions on the usage of Activ Visa gift cards at Coles or BIG W.

          I also think that Activ Visa gift cards are facing the same spend restrictions at supermarkets as Perfect EFTPOS gift cards. I have not got around to testing this (although I may test this tomorrow if I can find more Coles Mastercard gift cards), but I say this, because:

          • OnlyONE Visa gift cards - another gift card scheme owned by Blackhawk Network - are facing the same spend restrictions at supermarkets as Perfect EFTPOS gift cards.

          • Activ Visa is Blackhawk Network’s replacement gift card scheme for OnlyONE Visa.

          • sub102 on 01/05/2023 - 23:12

            @WookieMonster: Thanks for that info, I mostly use CMC GCs online and would buy discounted Coles or Woolies GCs for shopping instore. Would it be a good idea to buy these with CMC GCs just for the purpose of reducing the hacking probability?

            • WookieMonster on 02/05/2023 - 00:17
              +2

              @sub102: Possibly. I don’t know whether the discounted gift card portals you use would accept Activ Visa gift cards, but if they do, Activ Visa gift cards are not a bad choice at the moment.

              I have no idea how widespread fraudulent transactions are for Activ Visa gift cards at the moment, but I think it is safe to say it is not as bad as OnlyONE Visa gift cards or Coles Mastercard gift cards at this stage.

    • Slippery Otter on 02/05/2023 - 13:46

        Vanilla works

        • nsingh21 on 02/05/2023 - 08:47

          @Sheng @truetypezk - noting from the King of Cards above that ATO payments do not work, are there merchants you'd be aware where Vanilla VISA is tricky to use (or doesn't work) but Activ VISA will be fine? PayPal cashouts will still be fine I assume.

          Practical use case seems to recycle Vanilla VISA into this get rid of that annoying signature verification by using on mobile wallet. Other than that, not sure what would be the benefits of recycling the card.

    besides from discount on purchasing fee… is there any point in buying this if not trying to reach credit card points or gifting?

      Probably falls under "reaching credit card points" but you can buy these with an AmEx and then use it at a store that doesn't accept AmEx in order to earn AmEx points at additional retailers.

    I think someone at Blackhawk Network has screwed up this gift card listing.

    I purchased one for the express purpose of adding it to a mobile wallet (which the product page and my order page says it is possible), but when I go to activate the gift card, I instead am greeted by a registration page telling me Visa Virtual Account - Designed for Shopping Online, which appears to be the registration page for an OnlyONE Virtual Visa gift card.

    The registration page is very different to the one I was greeted with when I purchased an Activ Visa CNY gift card earlier this year from Giftz.com.au.

    The registration page is also asking me to accept the terms and conditions of the Visa Virtual Account before I create it, except it does not actually show me the terms and conditions nor provides me a link to view them separately.

    My frustration with Blackhawk Network is only growing…

        (It worked for me too, but seriously, the registration page was really throwing me off.)

    • Astrom on 02/05/2023 - 02:08

      If there are no terms and conditions shown and you can record the entire thing showing that, then technically and you agreeing to "no terms and/or conditions" since there is nothing shown.
      Edit : I dont know if this is legally true also I'm not a lawyer

    • cooni on 02/05/2023 - 06:29

      If you can add it to a mobile wallet (Apple/Google pay), wouldn't that make the card usable pretty much everywhere that has a physical terminal or allows Apple Pay online?

      • WookieMonster on 02/05/2023 - 06:46

        The issue is that I was too chicken to fill out the registration form after I read it!

        The registration form says that it is for a Visa Virtual Account designed for online shopping, which should be for the OnlyONE Virtual Visa gift card, and FAQ #18 on the OnlyONE Visa gift cards website says that Visa Virtual Accounts cannot be added to mobile wallets.

        However, as soon as you fill out that form, you get redirected to a page where you will be given the details of your Activ Visa gift card. That can be added to a mobile wallet (and I had no problems adding mine to a mobile wallet after going past the registration page), so my concerns above are irrelevant.

        In other words, it is a case of Blackhawk Network using a registration form I had not expect them to use and had not seen them use for Activ Visa gift cards before.

    If I was to pay straight with HSBC CC then it wouldn't be eligible for min spend + would be paying Vicroads VISA surcharge.

    Would buying this gift card, and paying with the Visa on the Vicroads portal be the advantage of hitting CC min spend, if I was happy to pay the VISA surcharge? (Beemit won't accept HSBC for BPAY due to not being AUS VISA/MC)

    It's actually a good one to purchase if you have a new Amex card with initial spending requirement. You can simply buy them with Amex card to meet the spending requirement for sign up bonus points. Then use these gift cards (add them to google pay) for daily spending at many local stores due to outrageous Amex surcharge or not accepting Amex at all.

      The cardholder name should match the first and last names you provided during the registration process.

      The expiry date is given to you on the webpage after you register the eGift Card (alongside the card number, CVV, etc).
