    • Hmm, yes but you remember the bargain long after you forget the labour ;)
      I remeber running around Coles stores for physical 15% giftcards a few years ago to buy the new iphone - that was a lot more effort. Compared to that this is pretty easy

  • Would I be right in thinking it would be wise to convert these cards into a retailer?
    I already have a few JB Cards, I'm thinking I should convert these too as it's (probably?) unlikely JB is going anywhere and their gift cards don't expire.

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? Slowly building money up for some big purchases.

  • +3

    Just used 2000 worth on Ikea Online purchase.

    It was painful to covert 2000 worth in 2x200 and 1x100 online gift cards as the max you can go for a single Ultimate card is 500.

    In the end though it all worked and saved 15% on my ikea purchases (Pax wardrobe for a new build).

    Thank you to the original poster!

  • Can anyone advise if I can buy a iPhone pro max using 4 * 500 aud ultimate home gift cards and remaining on personal eftpos credit card. I understand the ultimate gift cards are like eftpos cards and can be used as a eftpos while paying for your phone if added into Apple Pay but I haven’t done this before . Can someone confirm this before I pull a trigger on this massive gift card transaction?
    I am flying overseas soon so would also try TDS return .

    • +2

      Sharing my experience
      I bought 5*500 ultimate home gift card using my Amex card, got all gift card in my email within 10mins. I then added all of them to my apple wallet using card no and cvv.
      Backordered iphone 15 pro max at Good guys, no dramas, using apple pay.

      • @rakuju87 What is the expiry date on this card if you don’t mind sharing? As in a year or lesser from when you purchased ?

        • +1

          Mine was year 2028

          • -1

            @rakuju87: Tried to dummy order on the good guys store website and don’t seem to get the Apple Pay option . How did you get the option ?

            Did you walk into a store and order it using split payment ?

            • +1

              @glenf: For split payments you have to visit the store

  • I'm thinking only to activate my Ultimate Home when I'm ready to make my purchase. Does anyone know if this will protect it from being "hacked" (card number guessing) like those Coles Mastercard gift cards.

    How long do I need to activate the card after its issuance date? and what's the expiry for these Ultimate cards? Thanks

  • Hi all,

    Has anyone got the error "Invalid Card - Check the information on your card and try again" When trying to add the gift card to your apple wallet? Any help here would be great.

    Thank you!

    • +1

      Few fixes to try:
      1. Restart phone try again.
      2. Try again after some time
      3. Try on another iPhone
      4. Try on Apple Watch

      • Ill have to try another phone as still not working for me… Thanks for the tips though. Whole process is very painful.

  • Does this 15% off deal pop up very often?

    Will it happen around Christmas time?

    • +1

      My crystal ball said NO

  • If I buy Ultimate Him, do I use it directly in store just like I would a debit card (if I can add it to my wallet) ? Or do I need to buy the store's gift card first or convert it online somehow (I saw someone mention you have to convert it to uber eats if you want to use it for uber eats)

    • I added it to google wallet and paid in store like a normal credit card.

  • Would using this to buy a lenovo laptop from OW/JB be better than buying direct with sales? Can't find exact comparable deals but was just wondering in general..
    E.g. Lenovo sale
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/799539
    Vs JB

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/lenovo-legion-5i-pro-16-w…

    • JB and Officeworks have very overpriced laptops most of the time. $3300 after 'discount' from using the Ultimate gift cards is still ridiculously bad for a 3070Ti laptop.

  • +1

    Anyone else having issued purchasing the gift cards with their Amex

    Have just about given up as I continue to receive the below error.

    Payment Details
    Transaction failed, please contact customer service.

    • +2

      I've tried more than 10 times over the span of an hour with my Amex card. Kept having that SafeKey thing pop up but would still show up that error. Eventually it wouldn't even show up and go straight to the error message.

      Going to give up. Not worth the hassle.

    • I got it in 1 go with my AMEX on the first go.

    • I get the same error on my explorer but it passes on my Charge card

  • Can I get one that accepts Officeworks to buy a VISA gift card instore since it's like a credit function?

    • +2

      Probably not.

      Officeworks has a gift card policy where it says you cannot use any gift cards to pay for a gift card sold by them.

      Additionally, Officeworks started updating their instore checkout systems June 2023 to automatically block people from using Ultimate gift cards to pay for gift cards sold at Officeworks (e.g. Activ Visa, Apple, Coles Group & Myer), even if you are using an Ultimate gift card from a mobile wallet. I have run into this automatic block a few times at multiple Officeworks stores, so it looks like Officeworks has thoroughly patched this out… at least for now.

      In terms of online purchases, there have a been a couple of complaints from people on this deal post that they cannot complete an online purchase on the Officeworks website, even if they are purchasing “regular” items. It sounds like Officeworks’ fraud detection controls are flagging purchases from Ultimate gift cards for some reason. With that in mind, I would expect you to have problems trying to purchase a gift card online using an Ultimate gift card.

      In terms of over-the-phone purchases, someone told me an Ultimate gift card was not accepted when trying to purchase a gift card, but they did not elaborate what happened.

      • oh okay thanks. I read somewhere that ultimate giftcards ran off the Visa network and not technically a giftcard (even though it's called that)
        Good to know!

        • +1

          The Ultimate gift cards in this deal operate on the Visa network, but it is quite easy for Officeworks to tell that you are using an Ultimate gift card. I talk about it in more detail here.

  • Ok after trying with 3 different CC's and getting "transaction failed" I used a debit visa card and it worked, had to try twice though.

  • +2

    Worked great for me. Wasn't 100% sure how it was gonna work in-store.
    Got 5x $500 vouchers, paid using CBA credit card (mastercard). Gift cards emailed in about 20 minutes. Loaded them onto my Apple Wallet.
    Walked into JB Hi-Fi, paid for iPhone 15 Pro using the cards in $500 chunks.

    • Pulled the trigger based on your confident comment . Thanks mate

      • That's why I commented haha. I'm always a bit wary with this stuff being "too good to be true". E.g. you can't use the vouchers in store, can only use 1 voucher, can't use them for Apple products, or god knows what else. Glad my comment helped someone.

  • +1

    For anyone on the fence… I just successfully purchase $1500 Home UGC using my Coles Mastercard. Giftcards came in 10 minutes after purchase.

  • +1

    FYI - The Good Guys has a 15% off a huge range, ends tomorrow

    • Do you know if it end tonight at midnight or tomorrow closing time?

  • +1

    Tried 3 different browsers: FF, Safari and Edge.

    FF: payment details wheel is spinning
    Safari: can't get past the part where you add your details
    Edge: payment details wheel is spinning

    Also tried on my phone. Same issues.

    "Support" are a bloody joke. They kept saying it must be a device or browser issue, despite me explaining multiple times I've already eliminated that possibility. And I've bought GC's from them plenty of times before but the only time I can't is now.

    Anyone else having the same issues?

    • Just something based on my experience being the exact same as yours, FF stuck on payments, safari stuck on details… are you entering a message? It says it's 'optional' but every time I tried proceeding without entering one it doesn't work, but every time I do add a message it works fine

      • Tried it and still doesn't work. Using my Amex and have tried on Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari and incognito, nothing is working.

      • +1

        FMD this has taken waaaaay too much time out of my day. Figured it out finally! It was the VPN connection that was preventing me from getting to the Payment Details screen.

        So, you can use a VPN for the website itself, but as soon as you go to pay, it bugs out and spins indefinitely on Payment Details. I tried a new dummy order from scratch without the VPN and it took me to the next screen to enter in my card details Which is odd, since I have bought cards from them before but I don't recall ever needing to kill the VPN.

        Hopefully this helps anyone else out that's unsuccessfully trying to pay with their VPN connected.

    • For me (coincidence or not) when I turned off my adblocker I was able to enter the payment details. Otherwise I was also stuck on the loading wheel spinning.

  • Hi may I ask a question? Could these cards be used to pay bill at post office? Thanks

    • +1

      I don’t think so as the post office logo isn’t listed on the cards.

      • Thanks heaps, which type of gift cards can be used to pay bills please? Hopefully it’s not a dump question for you

        • +2

          pay bills using your credit card, not gift cards.

    • You will need to add these gift-cards into your current iphone Apple Wallet or Google wallet if using Android. Then go to JB-hifi and purchase Apple Giftcards and pay using the cards in the wallet, simple as that.

      Then add these Apple Giftcards to your Apple Account then pay for new iphone using Apple Account Balance.

      • -1

        Thanks for your reply.
        But some here in comments are saying, you won't be allowed to buy apple giftcard using ultimate giftcard (or giftcard using giftcard) ,isn't that true?

        or you mean I don't tell them I am using giftcard and tell them I will be using visa debit card and tap it? is it so?
        Even in that case, I would be just adding the giftcard as individual card in my wallet and they will be able to see i am actually using giftcard isn't it?
        Am i missing something?

        do you have any idea what is max denomination of apple card I can buy in a day using this method?

        Once I have the apple giftcard i plan to go to store and ask them to redeem it as it says available in apple store only.

        • When you check out using Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, it appears as you are using your credit/debit card so it will go through normally. JBhifi won't even know that you are using Ultimate Giftcards - essentially the Ultimate Giftcards is a virtually VISA cards.

          do you have any idea what is max denomination of apple card I can buy in a day using this method?

          depends on stock, I could only buy $50 at my local store. JB Hifi told me they sold out $100, $200 and $500.

          Also buy on batches, let's say if you get 10 of $50 then tell them I'll pay for these 10 first, then proceed paying another batch. I have been using this at different stores, no one cares.

          Once I have the apple giftcard i plan to go to store and ask them to redeem it as it says available in apple store only.

          Best to add to your Apple Account. I am not sure if you can use physically.

        • Just tell them that you are paying by cards.

      • -1

        Am I correct that you can only purchase the Apple GC instore at JB?

        • I haven't tried online.

    • Just wait for the stock at JB HiFi. Just a note, I wasn't able to pay at JB HiFi using Ultimate Home + Google Wallet, so I converted mine online to JB HiFi cards.

      • Too long…i know apple is doing it for marketing purpose so that they can show that it is very high demand and people value products when it is scare, but this drama is suppose to go for few more weeks…or giving priority to US users…..i am not that apple lover, actually buying it for someone else..
        Otherwise, at this particular point there maybe 200k-500k people trying to buy or upgrade to iphone 15 and they cannot bring that in 10 days not possible (amazon delivers from amazon us in 3-4 days these days)…
        But apple's website is saying it is available in store, I don't know why it is taking weeks for jbhifi and other stores…

      • When you say convert, did you just convert the UGC directly to JB HiFi? Can you please share how? Thanks!

        • +1

          Add $500 (or less) JB Gift Card to your cart on their website, then checkout using Ultimate Card like it's a VISA card.

      • Did it there and have been waiting for 2 weeks now…they have not been able to provide it..
        what a shame apple and jbhifi…cannot provide phone after paying for weeks…

  • Have they resolved the issue of adding multiple cards to apple wallet yet? That seems to be the biggest limiting factor for most people

    • I added 4 and used them no problem @ JB

  • I bought 4 gift cards, when adding the 4th into my apple wallet it says it’s invalid but I’ve triple checked the details are correct. Tried calling support but there’s no way to get through to an actual human

  • I am wondering when buying a TV, Fridge blah blah has anyone compared NV, JB and GG and seen who is the cheapest? Generally speaking, VS sales? Hard to know! 15% off is good tho!

  • +2

    Thanks for this, got JB to price match Amazon, then bought these cards, used Apple Pay to convert one to a JB Gift Card, then purchased the item with the JB Gift Card and the other Ultimate Gift Card. Nice.

    • What did you price match?

    • The price of the iPhone 15 pro at JB is higher than on Kogan.com. Do they price match Apple products?

      • $50 cheaper for First Kogan Members, right?

        • Thats correct. Their credit card comes with complimentary Kogan First membership

  • Tried five times and just doesn't want to play the game. Oh well

    • I was trying to pay using commonwealth cards, it did not go, I tried with BOQ and it was fine

  • Checked out in Incognito Chrome - worked all fine for me.

  • +12

    And that’s a wrap OzBargainers!

    70,000+ clicks, countless of transaction failures, hours of chatting with customer supports, many iPhone 15s have been sold because of this…

    Till the next time folks!

    • +1

      Cheers OP and @WookieMonster, appreciate both of you for your support and for posting. Planning to purchase a new laptop soon and this deal will be put to good use.

  • +1

    Hopefully they can do 10% off on Coles prepaid Mastercard starting tomorrow. About time!

    • Are you hoping, or is this happening?

      • Hoping and wishing

  • +11

    Thanks for the post OP. For people converting to JB you can do it directly on the ultimate gift card website again. No need to go through the headache of purchasing GCs via JB.

    • +1

      Thank goodness. Only took nearly two years for this feature to be brought back for JB Hi-Fi.

      My guess is that this exchange option will disappear again ahead of Black Friday.

      • My guess is they added it, because they saw how many people converted it anyway, and it was generating them too many failures in their systems.

    • Thanks for the heads up. Is it simply the case of using the UGC to pay for the JB/Apple giftcards?

      • +1

        On the UGC website you click "exchange for e-gift" and it takes you to this link.

        https://exchangeyourcard.com.au/

        You put the card number, CVV and expiry in and you will be shown the exchange options - JB will be there if applicable, and you can exchange the full amount or partial amounts.

        I am not sure about Apple.

        • How long does it take to get the cards exchanged?

          • @choofa: Instant

            • @currentfad: hmmm… I put one through a few hours ago and nothing yet, and just did another one now but nothing so far. I guess I just wait it out…

              • @choofa: When I exchanged it was already on the same page and you could print it out or whatever.

                Also got an email with the voucher instantly too.

                • @currentfad: It now says that you will be emailed the voucher within 24 hours and you can only print a receipt, which I did

    • Hi can you please explain this process

    • Thanks for sharing this, made my life easier.

  • oh NO! discount not showing on checkout anymore!

    • +1

      Well it did say it will expire at 5pm lol

      • +1

        oh no! 15 mins too late!

    • Oh no :(

  • +1

    Regret not buying more than $500 but I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting with that many gift cards for a long time (I don't have anything I want to buy yet..)

    I'll put it towards a ps5 pro next year, hopefully EB has a nice trade in bonus for my ps4 pro.

  • +7

    This was a damn good deal. I bought $1000 worth of apple gift cards from JB using apple pay after I had bought the Ultimate Him cards. Then walked over to apple store - exchanged my iPhone 12 64GB for $430 - and then paid $69 top up for the iPhone 15 - 128 GB. Altogether $919 out of pocket for a brand new iPhone. When I explained this to the apple guy who was selling me the phone - he was gobsmacked.
    Thanks OP and others - very happy. Hail OzB!

    • +1

      Wait : so you uploaded the ultimate gift cards onto your iPhone (wallet), then went to JB HIFI, and used Apple pay wallet to buy Apple gift cards?

      • Correct

        • Thanks! I'll look into it. This gets around the "can't buy gift cards with other gift cards" thing

  • +2

    Thought it was until midnight 😔. Might try an pick up some discounted TGG cards for a $3.5k oven I just ordered through Commercial.

    • +1

      Likewise…went to buy only to find expired. Ah well, will look at the bright side as it saved me from buying a non-essential item from JB. It was the 15% off that was initially swaying me but will hold off now. :-)

  • Hi all, I purchased the Ultimate eGift Cards a few hours ago (5 hours ago, my ING was shown pending) and the card is now registered, activated and added to my Google wallet. However, I tried to use it in Ikea, it failed. Does anyone know why?

  • Oh man I didn’t realise this expired at 5PM - only saw this in the morning and planned to buy after work.
    Is there any equivalent deal on iPhone 15s at the moment?

    • You wouldn't believe it but my phone literally broke 5pm today. lol. What can you do.

  • I wanted to buy Apple Gift Cards in JB Hi-Fi, and they were sold out in my closest store. As I was leaving, I overheard one colleague asking another, what is happening? Why are people suddenly buying so many Apple Gift Cards? Sadly, I didn't hear the end…
