    • JKON on 25/09/2023 - 22:10

      Any advice on how to use the Home ultimate card at officeworks ? I tried to use it online but keep getting error message.

      • fraxinus on 25/09/2023 - 23:57

        Seems to be a known issue according to the wiki:

        Officeworks’ website will only allow the redemption of one Ultimate or Celebration gift card per online transaction, as Officeworks’ website cannot handle split payments across multiple Visa cards. Having said that, there have been a number of recent reports (as at Feb 2023) where Officeworks' website has refused to process an Ultimate or Celebration gift card as a payment method.

        There is currently no workaround available for online transactions. Although the workaround for some other participating retailers (e.g. JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys) is to convert Ultimate gift cards into merchant-specific gift cards and then redeem merchant-specific gift cards on the online store, this is not possible at Officeworks, as Officeworks has blocked Ultimate or Celebration gift cards from being used to purchase Officeworks or Coles Group & Myer gift cards.

        OW appears to be the least UGC-friendly option of the major retailers. You may have better luck in store.

        • JKON on 26/09/2023 - 06:58

          Yea, I am only trying one giftcard that cover the whole cost but still cannot go through. I will try at the store.

    Ozbargain really helped me develop patience, no joke. Been waiting for what seems like forever for these to come to 15% off. But only half of the task is done, I have to stock up and wait until Apple Education cashback is upsized again to 7%…

    • darkkito on 20/09/2023 - 00:17

      • BargainsGrabber on 20/09/2023 - 00:19

        Yes if you have converted them into Apple gift cards and loaded it onto your Apple wallet

          • GReeeeN on 20/09/2023 - 00:34

            @hashtagbargain: I also want to find out how to convert these into Apple Gift Cards, which would be perfect for the IP15 launch on Friday. I thought you cannot buy gift cards with gift cards (assuming the solution is going into a JB Store and buy equivalent amount in Apple Gift Cards)….

            • Could Be Better on 20/09/2023 - 00:47
              +6

              @GReeeeN: I did it before and it worked for me in the past, I grabbed a couple of $500 Apple variable cards (note that some stores don’t have these ones/very limited quantities) and asked for separate transactions for each one (since I had 4x $500 Ultimate Cards).

              Some staff, for some weird reason, won’t allow you to do this if they see that you’re using a gift card, but if you add these to your Apple Pay it will just look like a normal transaction. Keep in mind that there is a purchase limit but I’m not sure what that is… If the highest denomination GC you can buy is only $50 then you might need to try out your luck and visit multiple JB stores to get enough Apple GCs.

              @GReeeeN: At JB, you cannot exchange JB gift cards for JB gift cards. You can exchange JB cards for anything else though

              However, some staff aren't informed and will cause drama

        • Pat Rick on 20/09/2023 - 00:40

          Keen to find out the answer too. How / which store allows us to convert it into apple gift cards.

          As I am aware, we can't use gift cards to buy gift cards?

        • BargainsGrabber on 20/09/2023 - 00:43
          +18

          If it’s like the normal Ultimate gift cards that you can find at Colesworth, these shouldn’t be any different and you can just add them to your phone wallet and checkout in store at JB as a debit/credit card transaction.

          Please don’t mention to the staff at JB as “I am paying with gift cards for the Apple gift cards” as these aren’t considered a gift card but rather a prepaid value loaded onto them

            @BargainsGrabber: Just a quick question on the process as I haven't done this before, do you add the card to apple wallet/gpay and then instore tap to pay? does it make you put in a pin as its over 100?

            • BargainsGrabber on 20/09/2023 - 00:48
              +4

              @BloodRanger:

              In-store

              How

              If a participating retailer offers in-store redemption, an Ultimate gift card can be redeemed either by:

              Swiping the physical Ultimate gift card on the EFTPOS terminal (physical gift cards only), or
              Adding the Ultimate gift card to an eligible mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) and then using the gift card stored in the mobile wallet as the payment method in-store.
              To redeem an Ultimate gift card in-store, tell the staff member at the checkout you would like to use a card. Do not mention anything about gift cards, as a participating retailer's checkout system may not be able to redeem Ultimate gift cards if the checkout is expecting a gift card issued by the store itself. For example, if you ask a staff member at a JB Hi-Fi checkout you would like to use a gift card and you attempt to use an Ultimate gift card, the checkout will be unable to redeem the Ultimate gift card, as the checkout is expecting the staff member to scan the barcode of a JB Hi-Fi gift card.

                +1

                @BargainsGrabber: Is physical store redemption guaranteed? I've successfully added 4 cards to ApplePay, but I couldn't check out online on JB Hi-Fi using Apple Pay, wondering if there's a denomination to be adjusted at the store. How to convey that without mentioning the gift card nature?

                • BargainsGrabber on 21/09/2023 - 12:03

                  @luvyrselfish: These are to be treated as prepaid amount loaded. So if you’ve bought a $500 card and your total is $501 on the JB website, it wouldn’t work

                  There’s no limit as to how many you can redeem in store, just gotta make sure you tell them it’s a card transaction, not using gift card to pay

            @BargainsGrabber: These are eGift cards, so I doubt you can add these to your Apple Wallet as a VISA card?

              +1

              @GReeeeN: Sorry, I can’t fix the title of the deal as that’s normally how these are posted on OzBargain, but for reference:

              Ultimate gift cards are prepaid eftpos or Visa gift cards that can be redeemed at a defined list of participating retailers.

              • GReeeeN on 20/09/2023 - 00:56

                @BargainsGrabber: seems to all make sense, thanks for the explanation, although there is a level of risk involved here as well, especially if the transaction is $2000+. If these are just typical pre-paid VISA cards, what's stopping the card being used anywhere? or do only these specific stores accept this specific time of VISA, in which JB staff might be able to pickup on the "gift card" being used.

                Also to add, if you can only get these Gift cards in $500 amounts, its going to be very suss at check out asking to pay in 5 different "transactions".

                • Jay-rad on 20/09/2023 - 07:41

                  @GReeeeN: Yeah, would like to know this "Also to add, if you can only get these Gift cards in $500 amounts,"

                  Does Apple pay use the total dollar value of $2,500 for a single transaction, or do you have to swipe 5 times via NFC?

                  Anyone who's done it before elaborate?

          • Danlew on 20/09/2023 - 16:47

            @BargainsGrabber: Why would you buy Apple gift card at Apple branch for the same amount of value?

            Isn’t it better to keep Gift card to use in more variety of businesses?

        • 123nkj on 20/09/2023 - 06:44

          As these Ultimate gc are eGift card, not physical, are we even able to use it to purchase Apple gc at JB in-store?

          • Apostle0748 on 20/09/2023 - 08:13

            @123nkj: If you look at the card on the giftcards.com.au website, it says "Where is this card accepted?" then "Spend in-store or online".

              If you are after the JB plan deals then this is worth it as you will 100% has an up front cost for an IPhone JB contract deal.

                @syswong: I swapped this for a jb hifi card by swapping my ultimate him Giftcard shows on my jb balance by check on jb hifi site but does not let me use it on site?
                Does jb have something set up that you can’t use a gift cards while overseas I’m currently away and can’t get my jb hift card to work.
                And I want to purchase from there site.

      Of course, it's a giftcard which is as good as cash.

      Yup. Choose the card has JBH in there like Ultimate Home or Him for example

      Nope they ain’t tricking me again. Had $450 stuck for 2 weeks last time. What a joke of a website.

      • WhyAmICommenting on 20/09/2023 - 00:20

          I had to contact them twice for a refund and it did eventually come through. But the fact I had to waste my time to chase them up when they know damn well how bad their system is and could have easily automatically refunded people doesn’t sit well with me. Almost as if they were just going to keep your money if you didn’t chase them up.

            @Smol Cat: That's exactly it. They will keep the money if you just assumed they didn't take it since the order failed. It's utter fraud. I bet some people did lose money like this.

      I agree.

      Honestly why bother wasting your time…..website will be down, gift cards will be gone in one minute. You'll just be dissaspointed.

      It's impossible to get it. Like calling the radio for a competition.

      • KangaDrew on 26/09/2023 - 10:48

        And yet, 6 days later the website is still up, gift cards are still available and no one has been disappointed.

      • lachlantula on 20/09/2023 - 00:21

        perhaps.. does 'one order per customer' include a single order for multiple cards?

          I think so as one card can have a max of $500

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 21/09/2023 - 05:39

        It's not one. You can get 5 X $500

  • Hiphopopotamus on 20/09/2023 - 00:21

    Do any of the more popular stores not allow swapping for their own GCs? I'm particularly interested in JB Hi-Fi.

    • Nelumbo on 20/09/2023 - 00:32

      I think using one of these Ultimate gift cards to buy a JB Hi-Fi gift card is barred. But, you may be able to do it. Have a look at the FAQ page.

      • Hiphopopotamus on 20/09/2023 - 00:36

        I was referring to Ultimate GC's own exchange portal, I assume JB Hi-Fi isn't there?

        • Nelumbo on 20/09/2023 - 00:42
          +2

          Correct - JB Hi-Fi isn't listed under 'exchange' on their portal.

          • Hiphopopotamus on 20/09/2023 - 00:48

            @Nelumbo: Got it.

            It looks like you might be able to buy some in-store using your mobile wallet, I'm too lazy for that though.

            • Nelumbo on 20/09/2023 - 00:54
              +1

              @Hiphopopotamus: Yes, but buying in store is a game of chance. It depends on the cashier not realising that gift card(s) is (are) being used to purchase gift card(s).

              • Hiphopopotamus on 20/09/2023 - 01:04

                @Nelumbo: How would they know if you loaded it onto your mobile wallet?

                I'm genuinely curious, does it show up on their system during checkout?

                • Nelumbo on 20/09/2023 - 01:08
                  +1

                  @Hiphopopotamus: I am not sure. They may decide to randomly ask if you're using a gift card to pay for the gift card. Or they may ask to see the card being used as the payment method. I don't really know. I am just conveying the information I found on @WookieMonster's FAQ page.

                  I'm genuinely curious, does it show up on their system during checkout?

                  I don't think it does.

                  • Hiphopopotamus on 20/09/2023 - 01:16

                    @Nelumbo: How interesting, and weird. I mean, what would stop someone from just lying? It's not like they can forcefully check your phone.

                • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 01:32

                  @Hiphopopotamus: If they look on the receipt/machine it should just show as a Visa card.
                  So the only way they'll know is if they look at your phone (which you don't have to show) or ask you. You can just say it's a Visa card, which is technically true.

    It says Ikea, but its not on the photo of the card on the giftcards.com.au. Can anyone confirm if it is still suitable? This would be great for my reno! But would suck if the card would not be honored.

    • WookieMonster on 20/09/2023 - 00:35
      +20

      It should still be suitable.

      I would rely on the list of participating retailers on the Ultimate gift card website (not the giftcards.com.au pages), because clause 1 of the Ultimate gift card terms and conditions says:

      1. The Card can only be used for purchases of goods and services, at participating merchants in Australia (which excludes cash and cash equivalent transactions at ATMs over the counter at Financial Institutions and merchants and merchant groups who elect not to accept prepaid gift cards). You acknowledge and agree that participating merchants may change for time to time for reasons beyond our control or where required by law. For a full and updated list of participating merchants please visit our website www.ultimategiftcards.com.au.

      There is no indication anywhere that giftcards.com.au is selling a special version of the Ultimate gift cards that you cannot find anywhere else, which is what makes me think that the Ultimate gift cards you purchase through giftcards.com.au are no different to the ones sold on Giftz.com.au or Amazon.com.au.

      If you were wondering, IKEA was only added to the Ultimate gift card scheme in late July 2023, so it looks like giftcards.com.au have not got around to updating the gift card images on their website.

      If you decide to proceed with this promotion, you should be mindful of the restrictions with redeeming Ultimate gift cards at IKEA:

      • Instore: someone recently redeemed 12x $500 Ultimate gift cards in one transaction, but needed assistance from a staff member.

      • Online: you cannot redeem Ultimate gift cards on the IKEA website (according to the Ultimate gift card website).

      The Ultimate gift card website says you can go to the Ultimate gift card website and exchange an Ultimate gift card for an IKEA gift card. If you do that, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for the IKEA gift cards to be activated. In terms of redemption limits…
