    Can you buy with coles mastercard or that disallowed?

    • BBF on 06/05/2023 - 17:45

      Why would you think it wouldn't be allowed? It's a mastercard. Of course it can be used.

      • Sheng on 06/05/2023 - 17:45

        Coles products generally can't be exchange for one other.

      • Munners1989 on 06/05/2023 - 19:34

        Just tried to use a Coles Prepaid Mastercard for a Catch Connect Plan but got a 'international card cannot be used' error.

        • Sheng on 06/05/2023 - 21:55

          Hmm interesting.

        • Ryk on 07/05/2023 - 10:27

          They cant use a prepaid card for ID purposes. It's also possible that they can not trust the KYC processes for (some) international cards, perhaps.

          • Munners1989 on 07/05/2023 - 10:31

            @Ryk: I annoyingly had a similar issue with Myki (Victoria's public transport system card). Used the Coles Prepaid Mastercard to deposit $250 on to the Myki card, was 'pending' on Myki, then got refused. Now the Coles mastercard is showing $0 however hoping that the $250 will be refunded back onto the card.

          Just bought and it worked, $99 minus 5% staff discount, and 2500 fb points as this week is last week for 10000 points minimum spend spend $50. System asked me 2000 fb points ti redeem although I didn’t have enough points, paid by gift cards…..happy…happy…unfortunately it voided my $15 store discount which i got in my email few days ago….so basically i paid $67.55 ($119-my Coles offer $20-staff discount $4.95- redeemed 2000 points $10-will get 2500 points $12.50)

        I reckon it depend on how many towers you can access within Optus's network, they won't give you full access.

          If this is the case, do you know if Catch Connect would have fewer towers than Coles, since Catch is slightly cheaper? I am weighing between getting the two.

          • Meovel on 07/05/2023 - 09:30

    • browser on 06/05/2023 - 20:08

      Self checkout doesn’t like it if gift card (digital gift card) doesn’t cover full amount (i.e. can’t split payment involving digital gift card). Not sure if physical gift cards are any different. Can probably go through assisted checkout.

      Switched some family members from Boost to Coles, coverage is significantly worse outside of metro areas.

      Convenience. Having said that, a Woolies Mobile yearly sim essentially pays for itself if you do a decent shop there each month and get the 10% off.

  • jrvb42 on 07/05/2023 - 11:39

    Isn't this the normal price? I would advise waiting until it goes for under $100, as it often does. Failing that, check out Boost which I believe has a superior offer.
    Having said all that, I've Coles mobile and it has been a good service.

    • browser on 07/05/2023 - 12:02
      +3

      Normal price is $150, now on sale for $119, but it has been on sale on and off quite regularly since Feb.

      $99 is the 60GB plan when on sale from $120. The 120GB plan has never gone under $100.

  • Xtreme Detailing on 07/05/2023 - 13:27

    Four of my family members have switched from Boost over to Coles. Coverage wise that's both data and voice absolutely fine in Melbourne metro and much better in some areas including indoor. Call waiting, conference call, VoLTE and VoWiFi are all perfectly fine.

    • wavesgreen on 23/05/2023 - 14:26

      Sims basically cannot be refunded because they are activated* on purchase. In the event of a faulty sim (ie fails to activate) I think you have to go through the provider first and they either provision you with a new sim or a refund. I think. It's been a while since I've had to do that.
