    Offer valid for more than once per customer and Amazon.com.au account.

    Surprising, T&Cs state multiple purchases for Amazon gift card will get the promo credit.

    • Ezio on 20/09/2023 - 06:49

      Could it be a typo? Few comments saying they didn't receive the second credit.

    • stonedewok on 20/09/2023 - 07:53

      ok, here's my experience:
      1st GC purchase, too easy. GCs, benefit email and $10 credit all received almost instantly.
      2nd purchase. 1 hr to receive the GCs, no benefit email or account credit.

      Went onto chat, went around and around trying to explain the situation of 2 x $200 = 2 x $10 promo credit, no email confirmation received etc.
      Firstly the rep said it takes up to 2 days to get the $10 acct credit, then I said I got it instantly for the first purchase….then they said, oh you don't need an email it should apply at the checkout automatically. At which point I tried a dummy purchase, and a mysterious "courtesy credit" appear in addition to the "GC promotion" credit.

      They said "yeah it's the same thing", but I dunno…sounds weird. Still no confirmation for the 2nd benefit, but the credit is there I guess. YMMV.
      It might be worth chasing them up for your "courtesy credit" if you haven't received the 2nd credit.

      Oh, and a slight caveat…if it makes any difference, it only applies to items sold and shipped by Amazon AU. I tried to purchase something from Amazon UK and the promo credits did not apply.

      • poppingtags on 20/09/2023 - 14:21

        I'm in the same boat - can't see my second $10 promo credit just yet, even though the first does show.

  • jonno-mail on 20/09/2023 - 01:03

    Thanks for the deal!

    Some tips as I usually find these promotions can cause confusion:

    • The promotion for the $10 credit says Gift Card, but eGift card worked for me too (just making the distinction as the promotional page says Gift Card specifically and the other deals say "eGift card")
    • The code is GCFESTSEP not AMAZONFEST (as stated in the FAQ second question example on the amazon landing page)
    • Usually if you enter the promo code a second time, you get a red error message. In this case, you can add it again but you don't seem to get the error message (this actually made me second guess myself)
    • Under the price total box on the right, it did state "Qualifying Promotions: GC Promotion" or something like that.

    I received my "Benefit Confirmation" email about 5 minutes after purchasing.

    • VehemenceThePhoenix on 20/09/2023 - 07:10

      This time I didn't get the error message on the app, and couldn't see anything telling me code was applied. Received benefit confirmation straight away though, quicker than any previous promos like this.

  • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 01:07

    A bit lower than the last 10% discount for Restaurant Choice, however you can still use Amazon gift card credit to purchase Restaurant choice gift cards. So if you stack with other Amazon GC deals like Prezzee, Coles GCs etc. you essentially get 15% or more off on all your eating out/food deliveries.

    • plain_biscuit on 20/09/2023 - 01:29

      So I should buy $200 Amazon gift card, and then use that to buy Restaurant Choice gift card?

      • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 01:38

        Yes that will work.
        Though I don't know if the promotional $10 credit will work when buying other gift cards if you are intending on using that too.

        I always try and maximise the amount on the RC gift card. I have a bunch of residual balances that can't pedicabs be used, like 1.20 or whatever that I can't buy a coffee or whatever with, bigger gift card makes this loss less as a%

        • tukanglistrik on 20/09/2023 - 10:57

          Why? You can use it to buy coffee, just say you're paying 1.20 with a gift card.

    For those wanting to buy the $300 Airbnb GC, you can use the $210 Amazon AU credits (from buying the $200 Amazon GC) as payment method, so you only need to pay another $90. This is effectively $260 for a $300 Airbnb GC. 13.33333333% discount!

  • SliverFang on 20/09/2023 - 04:41

  • aiyoyo on 20/09/2023 - 06:00

    How do spend all remaining small amount of credit with Best Restaurant Gift Card? Can this Gift card use for Doordash?

    • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 11:18

      Are you talking about Best Restaurant or Restaurant Choice card? Only Restaurant Choice can be used on all food delivery and restaurants.

      Many Restaurants will also let you do split payments, where you can request the exact amounts to charge and use up the whole card.

  • ValouSydney on 20/09/2023 - 06:01

    Does the restaurant gift card works pretty mucb everywhere as stated or is it another scam?

    • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 08:50

      Yeh it works anywhere for a merchant with MCC 5812 (Eating Places, Restaurants) or 5814 (Fast Food) including food delivery and other food apps. It will not work for 5813 (Bars, Nightclubs, Taverns). You can check the MCC list for a better idea. On the rare occasion you may encounter a restaurant that hasn't set up their Eftpos terminal with the correct MCC which will then decline, nothing you can do about that since it's not the card's fault.

      • ValouSydney on 20/09/2023 - 09:55

        Thanks for replying, it gives me hope because the reviews are horrible on this card.

      • WookieMonster on 20/09/2023 - 11:22

        It will not work for 5813 (Bars, Nightclubs, Taverns)

        Really?

        The terms and conditions of the Restaurant Choice gift cards says the permitted MCCs for this gift card are:

        • Caterers (5811);
        • Eating Places and Restaurants (5812);
        • Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages), Drinking Places (Non-Alcoholic Beverages), Bars, Taverns, Cocktail Lounges, Nightclubs and Discoteques (5813);
        • Fast Food Restaurants (5814);
        • Hotels, Motels & Resorts (7011);
        • Amusement Parks, Circuses, Carnivals and Fortune Tellers (7996);
        • Membership Clubs (Sports, Recreation, Athletic), Country Clubs and Private Gold Courses (7997);

        If you go to a merchant using MCC 5813 and Blackhawk Network rejects your attempt to use a Restaurant Choice gift card (assuming you have sufficient balance available and you chose the right card network and the card PIN was correct, assuming a card PIN was requested by the merchant), I would reach out to them and ask why, especially when the terms and conditions you accepted at the time of purchase said it would work at MCC 5813.

        • wangasm on 20/09/2023 - 13:12

          It did not work for me at a place that I confirmed was 5813 but I did not investigate further. Perhaps it was a different issue (like 3DS)

          • WookieMonster on 26/09/2023 - 15:29
            +2

            @wangasm: I reached out to BHN to get guidance on this, and they confirmed:

            • MCC 5813 is definitely permitted on Restaurant Choice gift cards, so you should consider reaching out to BHN to see whether they can see any reason from their end that your transactions were declined.

            • MCC 7997 is blocked on Restaurant Choice gift cards. (This point is more relevant to @New Chump.)

            • The FAQs and Terms and Conditions on the Restaurant Choice gift card website should now be up to date.

            • wangasm on 26/09/2023 - 15:41

              @WookieMonster: Thanks for confirming, the tavern/pub I was at must have had 3DS enforced for these cards or something (They used a website/app for ordering). The Fork gift card however worked fine at the same place.

              • WookieMonster on 26/09/2023 - 16:02

                @wangasm: Ahhh that makes much more sense, as I assumed you were trying to pay by tapping/swiping at an EFTPOS terminal (a card-present transaction), rather than paying via an app/website (a card-not-present transaction).

                If you are paying via an app/website, it would be up to the payment gateway whether they will accept a prepaid card (or a card not supporting 3-D Secure). I once tried placing an order at the table at one restaurant via their website, but it was declined due to the card (a prepaid Visa gift card) failing their security check.

                The fact that The Fork gift card worked (when the Restuarant Choice gift card was rejected) could be an indication of one of the following (or both):

                • The restaurant worked with their payment gateway to make sure The Fork gift cards were allowed on their app/website.

                • The restaurant’s payment gateway will accept prepaid Mastercard gift cards on their app/website, but will reject prepaid Visa gift cards. I have noticed more generally that prepaid Visa gift cards are more likely to be blocked for card-not-present transactions than prepaid Mastercard gift cards…

        • New Chump on 22/09/2023 - 08:28

          Blackhawk has this month removed 7997 from their list of acceptable MCCs on their FAQ page: https://restaurantchoice.com.au/Faq but curiously have not removed it from the terms and conditions, as WM points out above. I think that is an oversight, and the Restaurant Choice gift card can no longer be used at venues with an MCC of 7997.

          • WookieMonster on 22/09/2023 - 09:56

            @New Chump: Blackhawk Network removed MCC 7997 from one of the FAQs.

            If you look under Where can I use my Restaurant Choice gift card?, it says:

            The Restaurant Choice Gift Card can be used at the following merchant category locations: Eating Places and Restaurants (5812), Hotels, Caterers (5811), Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages), Bars,
            Taverns, Cocktail lounges, Nightclubs and Discotheques (5813) Fast Food Restaurants (5814) Motels & Resorts, Central Merchant (7011), Amusement Parks, Circuses, Carnivals, and Fortune Tellers (7996).

            … but it says under the next two FAQs (Can I spend my gift card in restaurants that are not shown on the website?, What can I spend my gift card on?):

            The Restaurant Choice Gift Card can be used at the following merchant category locations: Eating Places and Restaurants (5812), Hotels, Caterers (5811), Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages), Bars,
            Taverns, Cocktail lounges, Nightclubs and Discotheques (5813) Fast Food Restaurants (5814) Motels & Resorts, Central Merchant (7011), Amusement Parks, Circuses, Carnivals, and Fortune Tellers (7996), Membership Clubs (Sports, Recreation, Athletic), Country Clubs, and Private Golf Course (7997).

    Code doesn't seem to apply in cart, just disappears. Anyone else experiencing this?

    • me1stt on 20/09/2023 - 13:30

      There should be “You successfully redeemed your promotional code.” with green tick after you entered the code.

    • angelique008 on 21/09/2023 - 11:02

      Same! Probably all redeemed?

  • fomal on 20/09/2023 - 14:01

    damn missed out on restaurant choice :(

    • bcYield on 20/09/2023 - 16:32

      same I saw this last night and 8% were not that interested so I snoozed

    • Craze on 20/09/2023 - 20:19

      Me too 😢 Either low stock quantities or people were buying heaps cause others are still available.

    When adding Restaurant Choice to my apple wallet the card has no image, it’s only a white card. Is that normal? It’s hard for me to tell that it’s a Restaurant Choice card, in amongst all other cards in the wallet.

    • johfac on 20/09/2023 - 16:45

      It show's up on my google wallet as a black card with image of Restaurant Choice.

      • delfredo on 20/09/2023 - 17:00

        That's how it should be. Strange that I'm getting a blank white card in my apple wallet.

    • Robeson64 on 20/09/2023 - 20:28

      Whenever I add them to my apple wallet they are white with no image as well. I’m using an iPhone 11.

        Good to know I'm not the only one!

    Are we able to transfer a small amount of existing Best gift restaurant gift card to new gift card?Or how to use small balance?Is Uber eat and Doordash work on this card?

  • couger on 21/09/2023 - 18:21

    just bought another $200 using my other account, receive the benefit straight. But maybe have to chase the benefit for my second purchase.

      contacted amazon CS, they had to manually apply $10 promotion credit to my account.

      • prankster on 23/09/2023 - 22:08

        even though i got the email for the $10 credit (1st purchase of $200), this still isn't in my account . perhaps i should call amazon to apply it manually.
        and the odd thing is i got the $30 from the $300 airbnb purchase in my account already

        • CVonC on 23/09/2023 - 22:25

          Maybe the $10 credit was used on the AirBNB gc? Is your invoice total $290? Mine was.

          • prankster on 25/09/2023 - 08:34

            @CVonC: ah nah i paid the full $300 when i did the airbnb voucher

            yeah might need to call amazon.
            when you chatting with them, you called or is there an online chat platform?

      • CVonC on 23/09/2023 - 22:24

        I had to chat with Amazon CS too. After more than 3 or 4 failed attempts with reps that wouldn't budge even though it says "more than once per customer" last night, I finally was able to get my account credited with the second $10 promo with a rep tonight. This last one was super quick and didn't even argue with me.

  • corepda on 24/09/2023 - 10:37

    Has anyone tried paying with Restaurant gift card overseas?

  • TEER3X on 24/09/2023 - 20:51

    Never got the promo, so annoying. I applied the code and did it pretty early on. Need to contact csr which is a task within itself.
