          @RTY I just tried purchasing Activ Visa egift card using the Coles Mastercard gift card via Paypal and it keeps giving me the error "Check your account with your card issuer before trying this card again."

          Does this method still work for you or they changed it?

          • RTY on 22/08/2023 - 16:17

            @Alinnia: after applying the code, refresh the page first then continue to check out with paypal

        What's the incentive to do this? Isn't it the same kind of thing and you waste $1?

        • 1d0ntkn0w on 22/08/2023 - 15:36

          Was wondering this as well. Are the Activ visa cards more secure?

              @littleburrito: Thanks for the clarification. Not bad but depends where you do most of your in store shopping. If you buy from Woolworths, etc. Buy e-gift cards at discounted rates of up to 5% off to basically stack 7% + 5% off your supermarket or Big W shop.

              But I guess it's good for other things like restaurants, etc.

              • RTY on 22/08/2023 - 16:20

                @0 0 0: Personally I haven't tried but I think it would work if I buy discounted gc (Eg 20x points apple this week or 20x TCN tomorrow at woolworths) in store

              • eddieboy2 on 22/08/2023 - 18:44

                @0 0 0: You can't use these Gift Cards to buy Woolies Gift Cards or WISH Gift cards. Can't use for online orders at Woolies either.

    Anyone knows if we can pay Australia Post insurance with multiple cc ? I know that aami can by calling them.

    • adam on 22/08/2023 - 21:35

      They are online cards only. I tried at Auspost & they said they couldn't manually enter the CC details but needed a physical card.

      • yht on 28/08/2023 - 11:45

        Ok thanks

      • Yola on 29/08/2023 - 11:14

        This would depend on the person. I have paid over the phone by dictating the card details.

  • cazzamaphone on 22/08/2023 - 15:39

    tried to pay rates for Frankston City Council over a few days… can't seem to make last $250 payment through epathway, "declined due to policy reason". council may be on to it (though I did use their chat feature yesterday to ask how much I had outstanding as I couldn't remember how many payments I had made so my account may be flagged, will try again in a few days

    • ODESSEYQ on 22/08/2023 - 18:13

      I'd say its automatically flagged for using many different cards, probably picked up as potentially fraudulent

    Rip it's over - Glad I kept trying, I managed to snag 50 cards today after getting failed transactions in all previous days.
    Only 1 was already linked to another PayPal account so quickly spent it on Amazon credit. I'll take the 1/50 odds tbh.

  • day87end on 22/08/2023 - 17:34

      Cards not working now, are you scared?

  • Frozensage on 22/08/2023 - 18:11

    Do ppl think Paypal cares repeated cards being linked and removed?

    • truetypezk on 22/08/2023 - 18:13

      Yep, you will have your account restricted, guaranteed.

    • El-Rhi on 22/08/2023 - 18:19

      I had no issues adding and removing around 40 cards

      • truetypezk on 22/08/2023 - 22:11

        It is all very dynamic/relatively depending on your account history and usage. However your account will definitely get restricted eventually. They will ask you for a range of documents to reinstate the account, if you can provide them satisfactorily.

        • El-Rhi on 23/08/2023 - 06:05

          Thanks. What kind of documents will they ask for? I’m guessing just receipts/invoices for the cards

          • truetypezk on 23/08/2023 - 13:00

            @El-Rhi: It is really hard to say. I have been asked to provide ID, proof of address, card statements for all cards linked to the accounts, explanation of past transactions, particularly incoming payments. I would say dont go to fast with Paypal, probably just like 5 cards max/day.
            Btw I feel it might got more to do with the frequency rather than the total number of cards linked. I have added and removed more than 1k cards in my PayPal accounts but the restrictions always happen when I do to many (like 10+) on a single day.

    • eexe1 on 22/08/2023 - 18:28

      My account was restricted but it's easy to unblock it after some security checks.

    • Bigboy97 on 22/08/2023 - 18:49

      Can get your account flagged and blocked from adding cards for a brief period. Can last for a few hours up to 24 hours sometimes.

      If you get blocked form adding them best to wait and try add them again after a few hours, continually trying will increase the blocks duration.

      Got this from support ^

      Agree, but a lose for either Coles or the card operator. The free money is coming from somewhere.

      • day87end on 22/08/2023 - 19:23

        I guess not every one uses straight away . i still have some balances from previous deals.

        -if a few millions is collected by selling cards this way every quarter they can use this money to generate revenue more than 7% for sure . free cash flows .

        • Expired or left over money or lost card money belongs to them.

        • They have your transactions data they might be able to use or sell.

        This card has a very limited use nowadays getting more and more not accepted online. And this card cannot be used at POS at a brick n mortar shop/service. They are banking on people who buy and leave it or forget to use, or leave a small balance in the card

    • n0mad on 23/08/2023 - 09:29

      they make heaps, for every $1 not spent they can lend out like $10. with higher Net interest margins now they are making a killing.

        They must have a lot of people not using up their cards for them to make a profit on this after subtracting the 10% discount that the issuer, Heritage Bank, is giving away. I imagine that the up-front fee is kept by Coles.

    I bought 6 X $250 gift cards from this deal. While I have used 2 of them, the link for other 4 does seem to be working. I keep getting the error: A system error has occurred. Please Try again later.

    I have spoken to Giftcards.com.au who keep saying it is Mastercard issue and they are waiting for a response. I am getting nervous as no one seems to be taking responsibility.

    Also, I noticed that all the card links that are not working have location US instead of AU in the web address. I have tried multiple browsers, VPN, mobile interest but to no avail.

    Is someone else in the same situation?

    • Ash-Say on 09/11/2023 - 11:43

      My 3 cards are also generating the same error. I hope it's a temporary issue

        I have just been notified that the issue has been fixed and I seem to be able to access my cards again. Hopefully it works for you too.
