Either targeted or they're getting smarter with multiple cards.
I had the offer available on both my (primary) cards, but as soon as I saved to one it disappeared from available offers on the other.What if you have 2 phones and click both at the same time?
Feel free to test!
(Phone + website could work too)
That's new. Just with this offer or have you noticed other offers too? I have multiple Amex (all primary) and multiple (same) offers is one big justification for having them.
It shows up on Essentials as well for me.
Thx, I had this sitting on my Explorer but not my Platinum
Thanks OP
Platinum Edge ✅
Is the super shopper card still the best card to purchase for use "anywhere"? Can I use the super shopper card on prezzee?
It can no longer be used at supermarkets. I searched participating retailers for Prezzee, but it didn't come up
Why would you search participating retailers on Prezzee?
No, I searched the 'participating retailers' on the special website
It says "*NB: this gift cards is no longer accepted at grocery stores." on their website ….just before you click buy.
I have some super shoppers. They can be used for shops like Kmart, best & less. Petrol such as 7/11 and others work too.
Not sure about online as I am using the coles MasterCard when I can.super shopper card -> then purchase gift card ?
You'd have to test and find out.
Back in the day they could be used anywhere, they've now locked out supermarkets (and some others) but I think it's still usable anywhere they haven't blacklisted as opposed to only usable at the specific retailers they've displayed.
Tried the super shopper card on this prezzee deal and it was sadly declined. Would've been a nice stack if it worked.
Targeted
Got it on my explorer
$200 is the maximum spend to get the most out of this?
Yes, and you need to spend it in one transaction
Picked up a $200 Woolies GC
Thx OP
Just to make sure… did you get a "standard" Wollies gift card with 16 digit number & PIN that can be added to the Rewards app?
No, it is different. Need to add it to Special App which then adds it to Google Wallet/Apple Pay.
Alternatively, says you can use the 16 digit card number + 3 digit pin on the Woolies website…. same digits fail in Rewards app.
(Standard Woolies GCs are 19 + 4 digits)edit: it is a prepaid Mastercard issued by 545490 Pty Ltd, ABN 83 648 605 225 trading as Karta Co (‘Karta’) and distributed by Special
Can it be used on the Woolies gift card website to buy discounted gift cards?
Do you think if its a prepaid Mastercard, can use instore to purchase a giftcard?
Mine came through essentially as a credit card, not like a normal Woolies gift card.
yeah same … weird … why can't just issue woolies gift card that we can track easier instead of as prepaid mastercard and need to add to wallet. need to test if they could be used for other retailer eventhough it is woolies since it's just mastercard. Apps review in Plays is bad as well
@rjams23: I've had these Special issued "credit card" style WW gift cards before and I couldn't use it anywhere else. Tried it at a few supermarkets to see if it was an MCC restriction but couldn't get it to work at Coles or Aldi. Didn't try to buy gift cards at WW with it though.
Got it on Platinum Edge
Yes on plat edge
Got it on Essentials
Not got it on my explorer
Super shopper can’t be used to repay Zip any more… 🙁
That was fantastic while it lasted!
Got it on Velocity Escape.
Thanks

Platinum Velocity✅None on old affiliated card, but did get on new essentials.
Platinum Charge ✅
got it. thanks
Getting 'Card declined' after AMEX SafeKey screen, and did not receive any SafeKey code. Rang AMEX and said it's some failure somewhere between the merchant and AMEX. Oh well, will save my purchase.
Same here.
Same. Tried the app and actually received the SafeKey via SMS and email. Card still declined though
This happened to me. I reached out to customer support and they confirmed that the order didn't go through. I had an amount pending for it all morning and just now checked Amex app and saw that this amount was credited back.
A second order went through on same Amex no problems.
Anyone got this working? Same happened for me. The app said unable to use this card type for this transaction. Seems strange to have an Amex promotion and not allow Amex purchases.
The workaround way is to use AmEx in a digital wallet. Maybe you have to do it in its App or try the browser on the mobile (to open it) first. I have not purchased it this time, but it was the way in the previous deals, e.g..
Excludes transactions made through a third party establishment or payment processor.
@megadeth: PayPal is not accepted here at all.
If it accepts PayPal, you won't redeem the offer via it anyway
just attempted this with Google Pay and card was still declined. oh wells!
came here looking for this!
glad it's not just me! saved me the purchase too!
They emailed to say my order was cancelled. Anyone else had this problem? They gave a vague reason "Having reviewed your order details, unfortunately, we are unable to process it online this time. "
same issue ..wierd!! cancelled order for woolworths card but allowed purchase of the shopper card
Yeah I got that last time they ran the promo. Got approved but they cancelled the transaction not long after and sent an email telling me about the cancellation. No reason given so I forwarded that to their email asking what the problem was. Didn't get a reply but re ordered a couple days later and got the card ok.
My order never goes through with this mob. More trouble than it's worth.
I have over 50 offers showing on my amex card and most of them are crap. Not even worth the membership anymore.
Depending on which Amex card you have, you might be able to downgrade it to to a card in the same product family that doesn't have an annual fee. eg; I downgraded from the Explorer to the Essential (and kept the points), as I found the included travel credit becoming increasingly restrictive and the value was no longer there. I agree that most of the offers are crap, but at least I'm not paying an annual fee for the privilege.
As for this offer, I received it on my Essential card and saved it, but after reading the comments here and on Google Play, I don't think I'll bother trying to redeem it.
The workaround way is to use AmEx in a digital wallet. Maybe you have to do it in its App.
Has anyone ever tried using this card to purchase Amazon gift cards from Amazon directly?
purchaed Amazon gift card with previous deal it worked fine
interested in knowing this too
Just did this and it worked (The super shopper card)
Anyone knows if Supershopper card works at Costco?
I used the card through Google wallet and it worked at Costco
Yes, I did a $200 one today
I would never buy this special gift card for dine again. It’s very frustrating to use all of the credit because most of the restaurants did not accept split bills !!!
I have $2 in my previous deal, what a waste!!
Another card still $88 and just had dinner korean bbq did not accept split bills eitherAnyone know if the shopper card still works on ShopBack for gift cards on there?
Just tested, doesn't work
I have done so in the past but I guess things change.
Bought the gift card but haven’t seen an email saying “ You just used your Amex Offer”
Same. It gets billed as Karta on the cc. Hope AMEX recognises this
It did in the past.
Notice the big tech card can be used with Optus. Anyone tried using this to subscribe to Optus Sport?
Can I use the super shopper to buy gift cards in BigW?
would like to know too
Can just get a Woolies gift card directly
It is a Woolies store restricted MasterCard, not a Woolies eGC.
The same with other cards when only one merchant is featured. They are all MasterCard, not store gift card.
Bought a super shopper then bought Amazon gift card. Easy
seems like not worth it after reading comments. sounds like another dodgy party to deal with.
Tried to buy a super shopper and got this message ‘ This card type cannot be used to complete this transaction, please try another card’. =/
Can super shopper be used to buy wish gift cards?
Just bought a woolwrorths xard and got an email saying it will be reveiwed by Amex. Fingers crossed.
Please let us know what happens.
Tried using the pay via GPay method in the app and the card is still being declined. Will contact them for a please explain but it's looking more likely that I'm gonna bin this offer if there's this many hoops to jump through.
GPay worked for me on the desktop yesterday.
I contacted support and they said that my transaction was being flagged by their anti-fraud system because the email address I used to create an account had a + character. I was using the Gmail + trick to track spam and email on selling. They said to try using a regular email without + in it so I might just have to make a new account with some exta dots and try again.
So it could be on me.
Edit: Created a new account and the payment failed via desktop the first time but I've been on live chat with them and they checked it out which allowed it to process on the second attempt.
Just need to get AmEx to hold up their end of the deal now.They don't want sharp customers who will most likely spend every cent on the gift card.
@JIMB0: If there's no route to clear the whole balance before purchase, a pro won't buy it, regardless of the discount.
Cant even use the card to purchase… what a shit website

Targeted. On my Discovery, not on Essentials.
Also remember to spend your card straight away because Special might disable your account and take your money
