As part of their 40% off full price "Rogue Sale" I see the physical gift card on the page. I cannot find any T&C's for the inclusions or exclusions for the gift cards.
$500 gift card for $300
$300 gift card for $180
$100 gift card for $60
$50 gift card for $30
Sale ends tonight.
PS: This is a physical gift card, there is always a chance that they will cancel the order calling it a "price error"
Referrer and Referee both receive $25 Gift Card code that entitles $25 off an $80 purchase on full priced products (except Outlet, Surfboard & accessories, Camera & accessories, Gift cards and various Brands). Referral only for new signups.
First thought for me too. If it's not an error then they don't plan to stay around long…
That plus the fact they have been having near constant 30-40% off sales for the past few months is a bit weird. Hope they aren't going anywhere!
Theyve been having those 40% off sales for the last 5plus years i've been shopping with them.
Hasn't SurfStitch gone under once already before?
yes. im thinking they will go bankrupt and start another company where you can't use the giftcards.
Immediate thought, someone's going bankrupt
i was thinking the same, so i will pass on this deal.
What’s the best payment method to use to protect from impending insolvency
Credit card…
Better then PayPal?
Creditcard through PayPal?
@Meconium: The way they treat their customers, limit accounts and lock your money even though you’ve gone through KYC, and then when you exercise your rights under Australian law they turn around and ban you because you didn’t let them bend you over
@cheekymonkey97: Fair enough - I'm not an eBay seller but I understand sellers' complaints. I just haven't used PayPal very much, though I have used it for over 20 years, and it's provided a useful enough service. But I do agree with the outrageous amount of power such corporations have these days - PayPal as a fintech company is one thing, but banks in Australia always treated the customer terribly and still do, there's just more competition now…
PayPal don't cover gift card purchases, AFAIK
Would this be stackable with Shopback 2.8% Cashback, or Cash rewards new (4.2% new customer) existing customer 2.8% Cashback?
Any stackable promo codes to enter?
Also curious if once you recieve the card, can you use the $25 email promo and pay via the gift card for an additional $25 off?
I’d assume so, that’s what I’m hoping! Stack with a decent sale and it will work out pretty well.
Likely, but the email promo is only for full price items. It counters any promo discount on the item
Shipping $9.95 unless buy over $100 worth of gift cards after discount applied so effectively need to buy minimum $175 worth.
RIP surf stitch
Rip they used to have crazy good deals years ago
You can actually use these gift cards as money through eftpos
but still only at surfstich?
Are you sure
I've got an eftpos machine at work family business and I used Supercheap Auto gift card on our eftpos machine. SmartPay
I have a bcf card. Will try at woolworths today
These aren't supercheap auto though.
@[Deactivated]: Yeh SS is not part of super retail group.
I meant ill test the theory that SRG gift cards are eftpos.
Its only SCA, BCF and a few others
Can you please elaborate as which cards allow this ?
@jrt2020: I had $550 worth of SCA gift cards. I charged my SmartPay eftpos machine by swiping then there's a pin
Not sure if I want to risk it
While you could probably get a refund if they do go bust (likely through your payment provider) I dunno if its worth the stress or hassle.
Edit:
Seems some people are claiming they haven't received their gift cards in over a week https://i.imgur.com/62S2JpN.png
TL;DR?
This is a great deal to use down the track but after the Dick Smith thing I'm too scared if there is any track… I'm sticking to the 'If it's too good to be true' motto…
No doubt gift cards weren't meant to be included in the deal and it'll get cancelled, doubt it's as sinister as some people suggest
I hope it is a real deal, it would be a score to then use discounted cards on discounted discounts.

See comments on company posts.
Also see Google reviews.
Weird, I used to shop with these guys, never had any problems with returns or anything. Must have gone down hill lately.
I’d be surprised if this was honoured, terrible company. Bought a couple of North Face jackets during the last sale where 2 discounts stacked and they cancelled my order without reason. All sizes were in stock at the time and every time I checked the following week. I emailed them to ask why, and they replied 3 weeks later. They didn’t provide a reason and said bad luck because one of the sizes was out of stock now.
Asking for trouble
should have read the comments first.. i have just bought north face jacket :( hopefully there won't be any issues..
Too risky… no for me even though I was after a few things
Links don't work anymore. looks like they took the gift cards down.
Let's see if this deal gets honoured now.
I would…but then I’d have to buy crap from this dump of a business.
Hard pass.
Refunds are being given out now
Refund email from paypal received!
Your order has now been cancelled as requested.
No, I didn't.
I just got this as well. No communication from them, guess that cements me never shopping there again.
It was requested by management.
Every time I see these advanced buy gift cards it reminds me of dick smith and that the company offering them “going bust”. Am I just too old and cynical now?
