  • dammit on 22/11/2023 - 21:13

    has the home issue been resolved where the discount wasn't scanning on the $100 ? I assume it's absolute rare as hens teeth to find any of these in $50 or $100 - based on my run around for the same deal last year? I want to buy a $300 TGG item which would save me $45…will try the hunt tmr morning but expect it may be too late…

    • uinstitches on 23/11/2023 - 14:12

      still pay $100 for it then bring it up to staff and they're obligated to give it to you FREE right? due to some clause? if what you pay doesn't match the listed sale price they have not just refund you but give it free (I've heard). receipt has to match shelf price.

      • Jono05 on 23/11/2023 - 21:01

        Hahaha. That doesn’t exist anymore.

        • puffinfresh on 23/11/2023 - 21:44

          Yes it does, but probably not for gift cards

  • Numbfeeling on 22/11/2023 - 21:26

    I bought 5 Home gift cards worth $50 each, with $50 available balance. However, I am unable to convert them into JB-HIFI online cards. On the other hand, my wife has 5 Kid gift cards worth $30 each, with $0 available balance. We used the same card but made purchases at different stores around 9:30 AM AEST. I think I may end up regretting this investment.

  • MaximumEffort777 on 22/11/2023 - 21:36

    Still waiting on my 5x $100 Home cards to activate from 7am this morning, meanwhile the other 15 bought by family members throughout the day, as recent as 2hrs ago have activated.

  • Motyla on 22/11/2023 - 21:51

    Still wait on ones brought 9am to get balance
    Is there a overnight job?

    Also if convert to JB HIFI i assume balance won't show on card network as card doesn't exist anymore

    • hanofee on 22/11/2023 - 22:10

      If u convert all, then ur balance on TCN becomes 0

    • uinstitches on 23/11/2023 - 14:50

      please don't be referring too me :(

      I only need $650 worth to get a PS5 (13x $50) and was originally getting the Slim but don't like the look of it so feel pressured to get the OG model before it's phased out nation wide. I was gonna pay $679 on Amazon and just refund the game bringing it to $592.61 but with TCN I get it from JB for $581.50 and get to KEEP the game.

  • punkel on 22/11/2023 - 22:08

    Is there any way to add the gift card to Apple Pay wallet?

  • carlJack on 22/11/2023 - 22:28

  • Piranha2004 on 22/11/2023 - 23:12

    How come noone bought the Active variety. Plenty of thise and cinema ones left too. There were some shop ones left too but didnt realise they were discounted too

  • AznVinc3nt on 22/11/2023 - 23:12

    5 of my cards still haven't been activated yet…..(all from the same store)
    2 other cards got activated immediately (from another store)

    I wonder if the activation is location based. eg which Coles you buy it from.

    • superbass on 22/11/2023 - 23:21

      it seem like it's completely random.
      I bought 5 in the morning - one transaction, one location, one receipt.
      3 of them has balance, 2 of them zero balance. funnily enough 2 with zero balance were scanned first (the receipt has the part of bar code you can check against on your cards).

    • Numbfeeling on 23/11/2023 - 07:33

    I really should have bought more of that giftcards deal we had with 15% on variable loads. so much easier to add on the phone and to pay as well…
    Why they always exclude variable load? people will buy 10 cards instead of only 2, which is such a big waste and annoying for everyone to pay with it… I’ll buy some for future purchases but man. they do try to make it harder for everyone

    • 1bargain on 23/11/2023 - 09:48

    Noticed there are 2 URLs to check gift card balance and expiry date:

    1) https://cms.thecardnetwork.com.au/checkbalance
    2) https://choice.gift/pages/check-balance

    The second link also registers the gift card, it emails an unique registration code, so lost card can be replaced.

  • creesy on 23/11/2023 - 07:27

    So just to confirm if you want to use these at JB Hifi you need to get the Teen ones?

    It's an interesting business model. I would have thought they would just work at all the shops they were partnered with but list the ones related to him, her, teen etc on the card.

    • PainToad on 23/11/2023 - 07:46

      I see multiple that support JBs. Have you read the list?

      • creesy on 23/11/2023 - 09:39
        -1

        Yeh I think in this deal it's teen and home.

        It's easy to know which ones lol just go to Coles and whichever ones aren't there that's it.

        Thought I hit the jackpot this morning when there was a heap of him gift cards on the shelf.

        What a strange deal it's all the same company with similar retailers but only some of their cards.

        Someone has to be losing money here because olif there was money to be made surely the $50-500 cards would be included and they would just let people go ham and buy however much they want.

  • WesthamAreMassive on 23/11/2023 - 07:46

    I have a load of these cards in $50,

    What is the advantage of converting these to JB Hi-Fi if that is where I am going to be using them in one transaction?

    • browser on 23/11/2023 - 08:33
      +3

      The main one is you can use it at JB Hi-Fi online.

      Side benefit is JB Hi-Fi gift cards don’t expire, not that you are going to hold it for more than a year.

      Also TNC “can” remove JB-HiFi from the retailer list, so it will mitigate that risk, again slim chance.

      • shegeloaf on 23/11/2023 - 21:12

        Where do you go to swap your GC into JBhifi? I went to the tcn website but I cannot see any option to swap my card.

    • Nedkellyinthebush on 23/11/2023 - 13:01

      For me I just convert in whatever gift cards I can (jb or Apple) because I have zero trust in the company that runs these stupid cards

      • shegeloaf on 23/11/2023 - 13:54

        I do not have any trust in these card issuers neither.

  • Purley23 on 23/11/2023 - 08:37

    i hate GC 15% promotions with passion, be it cards gone in a few hours. ozbargain hordes (usually one certain demographics) circle around card aisle, hiding cards elsewhere, shoplifting cards home, supermarket staff power trip (usually coles, woolies much chillied). they should put cards behind counter for regulation purposes

      It has been ugly, and I've seen a side to OzBargain I don't like at all. Some people here have no moral compass… stealing is not a bargain, it's an offence.

      • uinstitches on 23/11/2023 - 14:25

        how is stealing even possible? I see these stories and I don't get it. are the alarms not programmed to go off as the gift cards won't be activated (and therefore useless) so they don't care if you leave with a defunct product?

        • browser on 23/11/2023 - 15:06

          Maybe they bring them back later to pay for and to activate.

          This is a whole new level from hiding them instore, a risk/trouble not worth of taking.

    Hi all, it's been over 24hrs for me now and none of my cards are working. I got 5 x $30 and 5x $50 TEEN cards for use at JB Hi-Fi. I tried converting them to JB Hi-Fi gift cards on the TCN website: The $50 ones say "Please check your Card Number and try again", and the $30 say "Insufficient card amount".

    I've tried calling TCN support line but the line is constantly busy and they seem to have no queue, it just rings out. Is anyone else in this situation, or know what I should do? I'm a bit worried I've purchased duds.

    • tidie on 23/11/2023 - 09:56

      same situation here, I got through to TCN support and they said the card info was not successfully sent through to them from Coles.
      Now I have to contact Coles Customer Care team to resolve this issue….

      • Purley23 on 23/11/2023 - 09:58

        yikes!

      • francisbyrne on 23/11/2023 - 13:29

        I finally got onto TCN support after 1hr+ on the phone. They told me that there are two separate issues:

        1. The cards are taking longer than usual to load balance, causing the "Insufficient card amount" error.

        2. There is a bug in their software causing the "Please check your Cad Number" error and they are working to fix it. There is no ETA on a fix. Apparently they still work in store, but I haven't tested that yet.

        • carlJack on 23/11/2023 - 13:34

          same thing happening to me. I converted one to jbhifi voucher rest showing " Please check your Card Number" error. If i hadnt converted one to jbhifi voucher I would have gone directly to jbhifi. This is bloody annoying.

          • clover on 23/11/2023 - 13:38

            @carlJack: This is exactly what i did. I skipped the conversion as i know their system is being hammered right now.

          • Purley23 on 23/11/2023 - 15:43

            @carlJack: can't you still take the one that has been converted and the rest physical cards straight to JB or is it showing as zero balance?

          • Purley23 on 23/11/2023 - 15:48

            @carlJack: Are they showing in TCN as having $ on them but it's just not letting you convert them? Im keen to convert mine to JB but don't want to risk the $ disappearing down the TCN rabbit hole!

  • AznVinc3nt on 23/11/2023 - 10:00

    Update:

    After 24hrs, all 7 of my cards have been activated and loaded with the correct balance.

    As advised by their hotline yesterday, if the funds are not in after 24hrs, you'll need to call Coles Head office (not the individual stores)

  • haemogoblin2 on 23/11/2023 - 10:06

    Went to grab a few after my night shift. Was not paying attention and got charged the full amount (no 15% off)… What on earth? Did you need to ask them to apply the discount?

    • Purley23 on 23/11/2023 - 10:09

      Did you definitely get the ones that were part of the deal? My discount came off instantly at the till, didn't need to do anything

    • AznVinc3nt on 23/11/2023 - 10:10

      Nope it should be automatic 15% at checkout. Maybe you grabbed the wrong ones (eg. For him/her cards).

      It is quite confusing since they're all TCN cards but only a few is one sale.

      How to tell if it's active or not? Just check balance online?
      You dont have to activate before using right? Usually with these giftcards, dont you just go to store, scratch the card to reveal pin and pay using it?
      Is it different now?

          Why not deal with TCN directly? Probably easier? There's a webform you can fill in their contact on the website (yes, you need to supply the card details too, which I'm not sure is the wise thing to do)

      Has happened with me.
      Some call centre staff will say - go back to store for refund

    I've just seen this on the TCN website
    Due to the high volume of sales, you may experience a slight delay with the loading of your cards.

    Our call centre staff cannot assist with the loading of your cards and please check back for your card balance.
