    Not much of a saving but better than nothing!

    • hamza23 on 26/11/2023 - 21:00
      +5

      2.4% off bill payments, I'll take it.

      And $1.22 of FlyBuys points I think (244 for $244 spend).

      Some may prefer to use spare FlyBuys accounts though so it doesn't effect their grocery spend amount for future offers.

      • ATangk on 26/11/2023 - 21:28

        $6 saving after using how much time to find a card?

        • hamza23 on 26/11/2023 - 21:32
          +2

          Max 5 cards. $6 x 5 = $30 + 1220 FlyBuys points ($6.10) . Not worth going out of your way though if you aren't near or at Coles.

            @hamza23: agree , in my opinion it's not worth the time and fuel cost unless you happen to be in Coles already. That said it's still a deal so good for people who can buy it with minimal effort.

  • SydOzber on 26/11/2023 - 20:54

    Limit of 5 cards per day per Flybuys account.

    So if I have 4 accounts i.e. 20 cards a day and 140 cards during the promo period. This is better than the flybuys points as we can see upfront if we get the discount or not.

    • King Tightarse on 26/11/2023 - 21:02

      140 cards is $35000. Rinse and repeat is over now AFAIK

          I just roll/inception these cards over one promotion to the next.

          Good luck!!! You are more likely to have cards hacked if you park them for so long.

        To get an extra 2.4% off, at least

        • soan papdi on 26/11/2023 - 21:30

          Won't the ATO charge CC transaction fees of 0.7%? If so, it's a 1.7% saving.

            @soan papdi: this is domistic mastercard, 0.2% surcharge.

            • soan papdi on 26/11/2023 - 23:12

              @daoddv: 0.20% is for Mastercard Debit (not sure if domestic is relevant) but this coles giftcard is not debit afaict when I read the FAQ.

              https://psc.colesprepaidcards.com.au/faqs says

              How do I use my Coles Gift MasterCard or Coles Online MasterCard?
              To pay for something at a physical store using your Coles Gift MasterCard, you will need to swipe the card, press 'CR' or 'Credit' and enter your PIN. If you press 'Savings' or 'Cheque', your transaction will be declined.

              Also https://www.governmenteasypay.gov.au/payATO says

              0.72% for Mastercard credit payments

              • WookieMonster on 26/11/2023 - 23:21
                +4

                @soan papdi: The prepaid gift card in this deal is classified by Mastercard as a prepaid card (not a credit card, not a debit card).

                The ATO website does not say the type of surcharge it levies on prepaid Mastercards, but in my experience (and a lot of other OzBargainers' experience), the ATO levies the Mastercard debit (i.e. 0.2%) surcharge on prepaid Mastercards, including Coles Mastercard gift cards.

                https://psc.colesprepaidcards.com.au/faqs

                That is the link to the Coles Gift Mastercards that were discontinued in June 2022. That is not relevant to the prepaid gift card in this deal.

            +3

            @nsingh21: people were holding out for coles mc cause it was a nuisance to do $25 cards.

            • nsingh21 on 26/11/2023 - 21:53

              @Sheng: I agree. I saw this on the linked website on Wed I think, was always wondering why nobody had posted this on OzB, but we never had any written proof of this deal except for DealBot and the trust on FP.

              I love the Coles MC, good bargain but it does hurt that its only $6 profit ($13 off - but I'd have put this deal as $6 profit as opposed to $13 off, which is how its being marketed).

              • Sheng on 26/11/2023 - 21:57
                +1

                @nsingh21: Hopefully, 10% comes back for vanilla cards instead. Also that strange about your Aldi didn't get them. My connection to Aldi just had the packs on the tilts to go for people just asked them to wait aside if they were going to buy a lot to not hold up the queue.

                • nsingh21 on 26/11/2023 - 22:04

                  @Sheng: It was not just my closest ALDI branch that didn't have it. Many others also reported the same happening at their own branches as well.

                  I couldn't be bothered roaming around to get the ALDI ones primarily because I knew Coles was coming this week and already had hands full with TCN @15% off.

                  +1

                  @Sheng: Given how Coles have been trying other options on the promo like waiving fees entirely, and cutting the discounts short from 10% to 5% I think and now to 2.4%, I'm not sure if the future has us seeing another 10% off again :-(

                  With interest rates on the rise, I'd rather keep my money in the bank to earn interest than make a quick discount of 2.4%

  • chinaman on 26/11/2023 - 21:10

    the risk of this card being hack is too high. for 2.4% I would not buy it

    Plus if many still purchase this, coles will keep the $13 off as ongoing instead of 10% off

    your thoughts ?

  • mrhorse on 26/11/2023 - 21:27
    +30

    TL;DR: Don’t take the $6 off $250 coles master card offer.

    From coles perspective, it’s essentially stress-testing customers.

    If the sales figures don’t drop too much, why coles as a business should offer 10% off (effectively 7.5% off) everytime?

    • torescamillo on 26/11/2023 - 21:44

  • nsingh21 on 26/11/2023 - 21:57

    @WookieMonster - sorry to trouble you again, but I saw this stocked with the Coles MasterCard gift cards at Coles today.

    Could you enlighten us how is this card similar/different? If I'm not mistaken, this is the one issued by Indue? and supposedly said to be no longer issued?

    • Steempy on 26/11/2023 - 22:30
      +3

      This is basically the old version/old issuer of the Coles gift Mastercard. A staff member probably found a stack out the back of the store/hidden in the freezer.

      The system shouldn't let you buy this as the expiry is to short. Gift cards need to have a minimum 3 years validity.

      • nsingh21 on 26/11/2023 - 22:37

        Thanks Steempy. I was wondering the same too and where that suddenly came from. I think hiding in the freezer is too overrated lol.

        +2

        The system shouldn't let you buy this as the expiry is to short.

        Another reason the system should not let you buy that gift card is that Indue stopped issuing Coles Gift Mastercards in June 2022.

        • nsingh21 on 27/11/2023 - 01:06

          Lol thanks Wookie. I'll ask the staff to get rid of them tomorrow, if its still there when I go to grab some more TCN…creates some space for more cards for this promo!

    Instead of running the regular 10%, Coles seems to go with ~5% off, but being careful with how they word the Promo. Definitely testing the waters to see what the uplift would be compared to 10% off.

  • samehada on 26/11/2023 - 22:35

    This offer is worse the 2000pts offer because of fixed amount discount on high value card.
    i.e 2x $250 only save you $12 when with that $500 you can buy 5x $100 card in the 2000pts offer which you can save $25

      Hence why we ask fellow ozbargainers to ignore this deal, it’s essentially 2.4% discount, with the risk of cards being hacked, physically going to buy the card and having to check balance. For a mere 2.4% from a drop of 7.5% previous, Coles can stick it if they think these will sell as quick

    • torescamillo on 27/11/2023 - 12:56
      +1

      It's up to each individual to buy them and yes there would be many. I guess what many Ozbargainers here are trying to point out is, it's not worth the given the risk-reward factor and effort spent hunting for them.

    Not worth the effort, the discount is very small and there is a chance of being hacked. I have has three cards hacked and it took over 4 months and many hours of phone (and constant verification through multiple levels) to obtain a refund for two

    • trixieb on 27/11/2023 - 13:02

      @chrometophobic Sorry to hear. That's disappointing they didn't refund the third card after all that effort. They must know by the number of complaints that their cards are easily hacked

        That would be a record! Thought they needed time to investigate the fraudulent purchase.
        My hacked credit card took 3 months to get the refund and I had to chase it up

        • nsingh21 on 27/11/2023 - 20:24

          To be honest, I don't really trust the credibility of the dispute process. Maybe for smaller transactions, e.g. $100 card - the resolution is faster. Also helps if the fraud is obvious, e.g. foreign website, foreign IP used, etc.

      • joe900joe on 08/12/2023 - 14:08

        Was this recent? I have one that I filed last June and still chasing now. I tried calling their number on the website +61 (07) 5660 6022 but it’s been saying “Not accepting calls at the moment” for a couple of weeks now :(

          I just called the number you typed above and it worked fine. Maybe they blocked your number due to security (perhaps). Can using someone else's phone.
