    Weird. Tried to purchase several Home cards but Transaction Failed. Spoke to Customer Service and he looked into it via my email address, and said "Enter your address only on one line, not two (Address 1, Address 2). So I did that using just one line. But payment still failed. So he said he'd send my order details to tech support to investigate and maybe whitelist my address. He said when they come back there's no guarantee the gift cards will still be available.

    What an annoying website.

  • Ultimate home gift cards didn’t work at officeworks. They needed two more digits. I had to manually add the gift cards to my Apple Pay to pay with them.

    • +5

      I am assuming you were attempting a purchase in an Officeworks store?

      To use an Ultimate eGift Card at Officeworks (or any other retailer accepting it in their stores), you must add it to Apple Pay, Google Wallet or Samsung Wallet first. This is because Ultimate eGift Cards (and the physical Ultimate gift cards) are prepaid Visa gift card, so you must handle them like any other Visa card. Officeworks handles the redemption of Ultimate gift cards very differently when compared to Officeworks gift cards and Coles Group & Myer gift cards, which is why you were told you needed two more digits.

      • +1

        I def didn’t know that. Or was too busy to read all TCa. Yes I had to add them all to Apple Pay :officeworks didn even know how to solve this). Thanks hopefully others do know before spending awhile at the store to manually add them all up.

  • +1

    Thanks, arrived within 10 mins 2 x $500. I have now swapped for JB Hifi Cards, and using my $30 perks voucher for a drone.

  • Grapes are sour 😂

  • Is there a time limit for the activation of these gift cards? Can I wait until I want to make a purchase? And is there any risk of fraud if the cards are not activated?

    • If you swapp your gift card into JBHI card tbhen there is no expiry on the JBHifi cards.

      • are you certain we can swap for jb cards?

        • I swapped last year nov by adding ultimate GC to my google Pay. I only did one card of $1k for jbhi fi Gift card.
          They asked me how I was paying and I said it was by Credit card.

          Tapped and put in the 4 digit pin code and voila!.

          I dont know if things have changed since then.

    • There is also risk of the retailer removed from the card.

  • Great find! tried my NAB CC to purchase $1200 (3x$400) and give an error at payment (contact customer service). Tried my citibank CC and worked fine. Purchased at 7.00pm and giftcard email came through at 7.08pm.

  • To the seasoned ozbargainers, how many times a year do we see this particular 15% off deal? Also, is that the max discount we'll see? Has it ever been 20% or more?

  • +1

    Wow this whole experience is terrible!

    I have been trying since 09:00 this morning with multiple PCs, names, browsers (incognito or normal), phones, tablets, public IPs, credit cards and emails. Nothing works.

    I even emailed support and they wanted me to email them the first 6 digits and the last 4 digits of my credit card before they would investigate. Surely this isn't legal?

    • +1

      First 6 digit is the same with everyone else at the same bank so not giving away much. Maybe see if the last two digit or 3 digits is ok.

      • Good to know, thank you.

        I actually gave them the card type and last 4 digits, which is the same as what PayPal emails me, but they were insistent they needed first 6 and last 4 and would not log a query with the payments team without this information.

        I have never tried so hard to give someone my money and not been successful.

        • I called them yesterday they said verification code error, told me to call the bank. Called the bank and figured out no problem with my card. Called them again, asked for card digits but they still cannot fix the error. What a waste of time to give someone money

          • +1

            @daoddv: Headaches ha

            Just go to Goodguys, pay less for cash.

  • Payment details keeps hanging for me with the infinite spinny wheel, even if I reload the page, use a different browser or desktop mode.

    Anyone hit this and know how to get around it?

    • incognito?

    • +1

      Disable ublock origin.

      • that was my issue too

    • Use your phone

    • don't know if it's help but I am always using Coles credit card to buy this and Coles master gift cards, never had problems.

  • I think many people are having the same issue. Can't seem to make payment. I tried Visa, Amex and MC. Called and they're looking into it.

  • +1

    Bought another gift card, no issues. Arrived within 10 minutes. Disable ublock origin if CC screen doesn't display.

    • What card did you use?

  • Hi all.

    Are Apple gift cards only in-store at JBHIFI? I can’t see it in their website.

    If I convert these to JBHIFI gift cards, can I use JBHIFI gift cards to buy Apple gift cards?

    • +2

      Are Apple gift cards only in-store at JBHIFI? I can’t see it in their website.

      Yep.

      If I convert these to JBHIFI gift cards, can I use JBHIFI gift cards to buy Apple gift cards?

      Maybe.

      If you look at clause 12 of the JB Hi-Fi gift card terms and conditions, this is specifically permitted.

      The JB Hi-Fi instore checkouts should allow this too.

      However, you may have a staff member insist you cannot use a gift card to purchase a gift card. It can (and does) happen.

      • I see thanks! Would it be better to convert to jbhifi gc or use these directly to get Apple gift cards?

        • +3

          Direct.

          When you go to redeem an Ultimate gift card at JB Hi-Fi, all you need to do is to ask to pay by card (or Visa card). That is less likely to trigger a staff member to say “you cannot use gift cards to purchase gift cards”.

          • +1

            @WookieMonster: Thanks a lot for the tip!

            Will add these to the Apple wallet then and tap to pay by using these

        • Apple has a limit of 8 gift cards per transaction, and JB only has $200 gift cards, which means you need 11 to for the cheapest 15 Pro Max.

          • +4

            @colt75: Apple has a redemption limit of 8 Apple gift cards in one online transaction. The workaround is to add Apple gift cards to your Apple Account Associated Balance first (and I believe that limit is $4,999), then redeem that Balance in conjunction with up to 8 Apple gift cards in one online transaction. I believe these limits and workarounds also apply to over-the-phone sales at 133 MAC.

            Apple has a redemption limit of 20 Apple gift cards in one instore transaction. You cannot redeem Apple Account Associated Balances instore at Apple.

            You can find more information on the Apple website.

            • @WookieMonster: @WookieMonster ahh thats good to know.

              I called up apple today and they said 8 per transaction as directed me to this page -
              https://www.apple.com/au/shop/help/gifting#:~:text=You%20can…

              Where it says - You can use up to eight Apple Gift Cards for one transaction at apple.com and the Apple Retail Store.

              • +1

                @colt75: I asked two different staff members at an Apple Retail Store at the start of this year and again a couple of months ago, and both said the instore per-transaction redemption limit was 20. The second staff member said they actually had one customer earlier that week come in with 16 Apple gift cards, and they were able to redeem them all in one transaction.

      can I buy apple gift card from officework?

      • +2

        You can buy Apple gift cards at Officeworks, but I would be really surprised if you were allowed to use Ultimate gift cards as a payment method. I talk about this in more detail here.

        • I have tried to pay with Ultimate card online but I couldn't. I think the answer is "No" right

  • +2

    Thanks OP , now to purchase these and get the best deal on IPhone 14 pro!

  • Failed transaction when using Zip pay card.
    Try again with CBA debit card instead and transaction goes through. Got invoice immediately.
    Received gift cards after 10mins

    I added this to my Google Wallet successfully. When I view the virtual card detail, "To use your card online, verify card info" prompts to input 3-digit security code on my card.
    I put in CVC but the verification fails. Anyone has the same issue?

    • Yes

    • I believe that Visa cards have 4 digit codes therefore a 3 pin code will not work. Is there any other 4 digit code available on your Giftcard.?

      • Visa has 3 digit CVC codes. Amex has 4 digit codes. Google Wallet verification only allows 3 digit codes for Ultimate e-gift cards.

        I added this to Apple Pay with no issues. It didn't prompt me for any verification.

    • Yes I have the same issue, did you find solution? I am not sure if it can be used or have to update it first??

      • I added this to Apple Pay with no issues. It didn't prompt me for any verification.

        May be the verification prompt applies to Google Wallet only.

    • You can remove the card and add it again. I had the same issue with the physical card.

      • I bought 3x$500 and entered each card individually in google wallet, each card shows up but when tap the card and I get message saying: Verify your card info to make sure that you can use this card everywhere online. When clicking (Verify card info, it takes you to visa card detail where it asks to enter 3 digit security code, but it won't accept to update..

  • Does anyone know if Ultimate Home can buy Kogan gift card from Kogan website?

    • +1

      I doubt it.

      I suggest you read through this conversation to see why I am doubtful.

    • Yes, I bought a few times, you have to use a browser not the app.

      • So simply use the ultimate gift card as credit card at computer browser check out?

        • Yes, I did it on Google Chrome, haven't tried it on other browsers yet.

          • @jimojr: Just tried on google chrome (normal and incognito), getting
            "Sorry, there was an error processing your payment. Please try another payment method or try again"

            When were you able to purchase Kogan GC with the home credit? Not getting any luck

    Can we use these in IKEA

    • +2

      Nearly everything I am about to tell you has already appeared in the comments of this deal…


      The Ultimate gift card website will tell you which types of Ultimate gift cards include IKEA as a participating retailer.1

      The Ultimate gift card website will also tell you how IKEA accepts Ultimate gift cards they appear on. I just checked it, and it says:

      • IKEA accepts them instore. In other words, you can use one of those Ultimate gift cards like any other Visa card in an IKEA store.

      • IKEA does not accept them online.

      • You can go to the Ultimate gift card website and exchange one of those Ultimate gift cards for an IKEA digital gift card. Someone said earlier today the largest IKEA gift card denomination stocked on the exchange portal is $200, but there is nothing stopping you from exchanging one Ultimate gift card for multiple IKEA gift cards.

      To redeem one of the Ultimate gift cards in this deal instore at IKEA, you will first need to store it on a supported mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet). Once at the store, you need to redeem them from your mobile wallet like you would redeem any other Visa card at IKEA. I do not know if there is a limit to the number of Ultimate gift cards you can redeem in one instore transaction at IKEA; someone said last week they were able to redeem 12 Ultimate gift cards in one transaction, but required staff assistance to do this. I tried to figure this out myself at an IKEA self checkout last week, but I could not find the option myself. The fact that staff assistance is apparently required is hardly surprising.

      If you instead opt to exchange your Ultimate gift card for IKEA gift cards, the redemption process and limits for IKEA gift cards will apply instead. That means…

      • Instore: I do not know what the limit actually is (if there is one) for redeeming IKEA gift cards. I have used four in one instore transaction in the past, whereas someone else has redeemed a lot more than four in one instore transaction.

      • Online: I do not know what the limit actually is (if there is one) for redeeming IKEA gift cards. Someone once used 29 in one online transaction, and someone else was told the limit was 99. Someone else told me today there may only be a time limit for redemption!


      1. The table in the description will also tell you this, but you should always go back to the Ultimate gift card website and confirm yourself, as that website is the source of truth for participating retailers. You never know, IKEA could be removed from an Ultimate gift card (or the entire scheme) at any time without notice… 

  • Anyone have a work around for 'invalid card details' when adding gc to apple wallet?

    • I had the same issue. Managed to add them to wallet on Mac though.

      • Yea I can add the cards to my MacBook too but really need them to work on phone :(

        • Did you come up with a work around? I was hoping I'd be able to use them in wallet after adding them on Mac for online order but no good. Luckily have an android so I loaded on that, worked first go.

          • @Thunderous Genious: No, it seems the problem is just with my iPhone's apple wallet. I'll probably grab my work phone next week and use Google/Samsung pay instead.

    • same issue

    • Tried two iPhones and the same issue then added cards to an Android which worked perfectly.

  • Ordered at 6:02pm awst received the invoice first after 5 mins the gcs

  • I get transaction failed using different devices, different cards.

    How are people even paying?

  • i bought the wrong cards: instead of Home, I bought the Shopping ones. What can I do in this case? Get a refund? Can I swap the Shopping ones for the Home ones? :((

    • how much did you buy?

      • $2,000

        • +2

          damn, i think that is the worst card unless you into your drip and kicks

  • Did not get the card after paid money / received email for the taxinvoice, how long you guys wait for the card to arrive

    • +1

      Some people got within minutes and some had to wait 4-6 hours. So just be patient and you will receive

  • +2

    Is there any risk of these cards being hacked if you plan on keeping them for a while and don't want to convert them right away cause you don't want to be locked into a store?

    • There were situations where Coles Mastercards that you can buy were hacked, so it is possible, but a small risk.

      More context: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/724029

      • yeh that's the main reason i'm asking, those mc's were notorious.

    • I think there could be a risk, everyone’s expiry will be September 2028 so that’s one security feature gone. However that leaves the last seven digits of the card as well as the CVV to be guessed, so it’s still unlikely IMO.
