    For those wondering, Restaurant Choice variable load cards were included last time this deal was on.

      Just to avoid confusion, the Restaurant Choice variable load is excluded for this deal.

      excluding Restaurant Choice Variable Card.

        Thanks for highlighting this so that people don't accidentally buy the wrong Restaurant Choice gift card… myself included.

      • clx on 04/03/2024 - 17:37

        anyone know the denominations stocked by Woolies? leftover scrap change on these cards can sometimes be painful to use so the bigger the denomination the better.

        • wildstone on 04/03/2024 - 18:58

          I'm still yet to find the best way to use up leftover balances.

          • clx on 04/03/2024 - 20:12

            @wildstone: I found a local cafe that is very forgiving of splitting the bill however many ways I need with whatever amounts.

          • blehgg on 04/03/2024 - 21:42

            @wildstone: macdonalds - pay some cash - then balance the rest

            • souths123 on 05/03/2024 - 08:33

              @blehgg: wow, didn't realise Maccas allow split payment…so, you have to do cash first and then the card? Or doesn't it matter which order?

            • wildstone on 05/03/2024 - 12:08

              @blehgg: I tried once asking to split payment but was told that they don't do that.

              • blehgg on 05/03/2024 - 12:49

                @wildstone: I did it in Brisbane 2 weeks ago. had $1.80 left. Item was $3.80

                Told them I had some cash, can I use that first and pay the rest of card?

                1. Paid $2 in cash first
                2. Then used the balance

                order does matter cause they can't specify what to pay on card.

                I think they are hesitant if its busy, but "two transactions":was the max based on reading forums

                • wildstone on 05/03/2024 - 16:18

                  @blehgg: Thanks bleh. I was asking them if I could pay in 2 cards, which was when they said they don't do that.

                  May be if I told them I am going to pay $1.28 on a card, and the rest with cash, they might do it. I'll try that next time and report back.

            @wildstone: Subway online ordering if you also have rewards dollars/gift cards in your account. Allows you to choose how much of them to use so that you can pay the rest with restaurant choice

        • Lastora on 06/03/2024 - 10:16

          I usually sweep to my subway card, $10 minimum tho, works fine if you eat there often :)

      But isn't 10% off better than 20x rewards points?

      • souths123 on 05/03/2024 - 08:35

        in one way yes, but you get the same value either way if you want to use the points to pay for groceries, otherwise some are converting to Qantas points….maybe saving to go towards an airfare

  • clx on 04/03/2024 - 17:36

    It used to be the Restaurant Choice physical card could be used at very limited restaurants on their list but the digital card could be used at all these MCCs. Looks like they've made the physical card to match up with the digital card based on their website. Does anyone know when this change happened?

    • WookieMonster on 04/03/2024 - 18:13
      +1

      Most likely early January 2023.

      Someone said on 11 January 2023 that they were able to use a physical Restaurant Choice gift card at a merchant not listed on the Restaurant Choice website.

      To be clear, both comments I linked to were in reference to the older EFTPOS version of the physical Restaurant Choice gift cards, which is not the version pictured in this deal. I am fairly sure the newer Visa version of the physical Restaurant Choice gift cards have never been restricted to specific restaurants.

              +2

              @Bii: It can as long as:

              • KFC uses a MCC permitted on this gift card.

              • KFC will let you use a prepaid Visa gift card as a payment method on their app. (KFC may not let you do this, because they may require a card to support security features not found on prepaid gift cards.)

    @WookieMonster since you appear to be the SME
    Any idea why I might not be able to add physical restaurant choice to my iPhone wallet?
    Can add the same card to my wife’s iPhone wallet.
    Digitals are fine!
    I don’t have more than 9 cards in my wallet at a time.
    I remove any archived cards.
    I had sent a query to blackhawk network but the response is pretty much futile. They ask me to check with provider. And I don’t understand who really the provider is!

    • WookieMonster on 04/03/2024 - 22:05

      How often do you add and remove cards from your Apple Pay wallet on your iPhone?

      If it is relatively frequently, the reason could be that you are sometimes failing the fraud checks that Apple has implemented on Apple Pay. Apple is a little vague on what these checks entail, but you can get a sense for it on the Apple Pay privacy policy.

      The Restaurant Choice website also hints at this on their FAQs:

      How do I add my Restaurant Choice Gift Card to my mobile wallet?

      Restaurant Gift Cards can be added to your Apple, Samsung, or Google mobile wallet.

      Apple, Google, and Samsung Wallets have limits to the total number of cards a user can have in their wallet at any one time, and they also have their own security process that may stop a user from being able to add a card to their digital wallet. Restaurant Choice Visa Gift Cards has no discretion on these security controls put in place by Apple, Google, or Samsung Wallets.

      Eftpos Restaurant Choice physical cards cannot be added to wallet.

      The workaround (as you have found out) is to use another device (e.g. your wife's device). I am going to assume your wife does not add/remove cards from her Apple Pay wallet as frequently as you?

      • damz on 04/03/2024 - 23:35
        +1

        Thanks@WookieMonster for your response.
        Yes that’s right. I recycle cards and add/remove frequently to/from my wallet. My wife not as much.
        Looks like there is no sure way to find out what logic Apple uses to block :)

        • WookieMonster on 04/03/2024 - 23:38
          +1

          Knew it!

          It is the reason I still have an old Samsung phone in addition to an iPhone. I find that Samsung Wallet is very lax (compared to Apple Pay) when it comes to fraud controls… plus I have a device I could fall back on if I accidentally trip the Apple Pay fraud controls.

  • gameboy11 on 05/03/2024 - 13:01

    Has anyone tried buying GCs and paying with the everyday rewards pay app? E.g connecting gift cards to the app and then using it at checkout?

    • WookieMonster on 05/03/2024 - 22:36

      I have bought many gift cards issued by Woolworths Group, stored them in my Everyday Rewards app and then successfully used Everyday Pay as a payment method every time, except for when I have tried to purchase a gift card.

      • I once tried to purchase a gift card at Woolworths using Everyday Pay as the payment method, and the checkout returned an Items Not Allowed error.

      • I once tried to purchase a gift card at BIG W using Everyday Pay as the payment method, and the checkout became unresponsive for about 3 minutes before a staff member had to forcibly shut down the checkout.

      The Everyday Pay FAQs makes it clear that you cannot purchase gift cards nor tobacco using Everyday Pay, so it is hardly surprising I ran into issues attempting to do this.

    Does anyone use the luxury escapes? How does it work if you have 10 gift cards? Can you add to a balance like apple or Amazon?

  • mkn on 06/03/2024 - 16:23

    When clarifying with staff, they said the gift card offer is only applicable to Woolworths supermarkets, not Woolworths Metro stores. Woolworths Metro stores did not have signs displaying 10% off selected gift cards with everyday rewards.

  • Pennywiser on 06/03/2024 - 19:45

    • Bii on 10/03/2024 - 13:44

      From comments above, look like no longer accepted by Macca's app. Restaurant Choice and Good Food were usable before.

      • OZBMate8911 on 10/03/2024 - 15:36

        Wasn't via app - I used a card with zero balance with the app to place the order. (if you do this the order goes through but you pay at the window as normal)

        It was the card reader at the window that wouldn't take the EFTPOS card

      • Alinnia on 11/03/2024 - 07:56

        Can use Resturant Choice via the mobile app to pay for a Maccas order. Did it successfully just yesterday.
