    So literally only $2.5 off for each $100 card. Obvious it makes no sense to risk your fund trapped in these cards while you can get HSBC 2% cashback for your daily payment less than $100.

      And now not able to see balance as well

      • roguej on 14/04/2024 - 16:07

        what happened to the balance check website? havent been able to check balance for a while

        • shoppe on 14/04/2024 - 18:26

          I've had no problems using the website on my computer, but the mobile site using my phone doesn't work.

      • M1dnight on 15/04/2024 - 09:05

        Balance check is working again. started last Friday I think. Was getting tired of the welcoming American on the phone balance check.

        • Yogi555 on 15/04/2024 - 10:28

          Yes it's working now. Thanks !!

      Good for CC spend though

    • shoppe on 14/04/2024 - 10:33

      Do you know if HSBC give 2% cashback on $100 purchases or does it have to be less?

      • littlesoldier on 14/04/2024 - 10:39

        Has to be less, $99.9 will work but not $100

    I had to visit 3 stores last time to find stock. I am not doing that again for the sake of $2.50 profit. Pass from me.

    • Toxinor on 13/04/2024 - 20:51

      Because Coles never enforced its 5 cards limitation and people used so many flybuys to swipe them all.

      • Valjew on 13/04/2024 - 21:30

        Limitation was 5 cards per day per Flybuys account for one offer 5 in total for another. Both were enforced by the Flybuys accounts themselves; if you tried to purchase more than 5, no benefit (Flybuys points or discount) was given.

        • Toxinor on 13/04/2024 - 21:35

          Ain't you aware one could have multiple flybuys?
          All these cards were gone within 30 mins for so!

            @Toxinor: I found plenty inside the shelf.

            Some of the sim and gift card displays have a storage behind the displays. Just open it up and have a root around for spare cards when there are no staff to tell you off :D

    • Laziofogna on 14/04/2024 - 11:57

    You'd make more profit rounding up loose trolleys with gold coins in them.

    • holdenmg on 14/04/2024 - 08:23

  • HolyCr4p on 13/04/2024 - 18:22

    How lovely to get 2.5 bucks lol
    I can get 10 k points for spending 50 bucks (4 weeks)

    • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 13/04/2024 - 18:49

      actually, it can be a good combo.At least from minimal effort perspective..
      1. Go to Coles
      2. Buy $100 GC first
      3. Spend $50, pay with the GC

      • HolyCr4p on 13/04/2024 - 19:01

        50 bucks for $2.5 profit while i can use 50 bucks for my groceries lol

    Lol @ $2.50 profit.
    Not worth the petrol and time

    Will pass. Bank interest is higher. Not worth buying when these cards are hacked easily. Also can't seem to check the balance at the moment.

    Coles is probably doing market research on how many they can sell with this lower offer. Hopefully not many so they will return to 2000 bonus points.

    • alphaoasis on 13/04/2024 - 19:41

      Finding the sweet spot and check if we are desperate at 2.5% off.

  • danielh on 13/04/2024 - 19:35

    I think the only use case that is useful for me is if I get a new CC that has some sort of ‘spend $4000 in X months’ condition and so I’ll just buy as many of them that I can and straight away use to pay off my current ATO debt.
    The $2.50 is a psychological bonus for the effort. 😄

      • danielh on 13/04/2024 - 20:08

        Thanks for the heads up. I hope they do not change it. I remember when I needed to do $5000 for my HIVER bank account and all my supermarket shopping (mostly pre-paid gift cards etc) were considered groceries and so were counted.

        • tunzafun001 on 13/04/2024 - 20:20

          That's the saving grace. I don't think they can determine what is a giftcard purchase from regular groceries from a supermarket eftpos terminal….but if they do…then the t&Cs apply.

      • rekke on 13/04/2024 - 22:16

        How does your credit card provider know you bought gift cards if the transaction was simply a purchase from Coles?

      • DrRalph on 14/04/2024 - 09:24
        +2

        This is simply untrue

  • alphaoasis on 13/04/2024 - 19:39
    +2

    They are still figuring out the sweet spot to maximise profit and see at what level we are desperate. Even 7.5% off is not going to entice me.

  • tunzafun001 on 13/04/2024 - 19:59

    They are testing how many dumb/desperate are there to get this so they can permanently stop giving 2000 points moving forward… !

    • RTY on 13/04/2024 - 22:19

      My payg is due 29 April and I have two new credit cards with min spend requirement on the way. My only option is buy ShopBack supermarket first then buy this. Sigh.

        Prepay private health in advance, energy bill etc.. get points, change insurer or just cancel pre payment and get refunded. They won't take the bonus back.

        • RTY on 14/04/2024 - 00:30

        A few states eg WA didn't get the 10% discount that NSW and VIC were getting. Coles had cut back a lot since last year

      Are you referring to the supermarket card on swapback? Because they are two very different cards.

      The supermarket card can only be used at supermarkets like Coles/Woolies/aldi however the Coles mastercard is accepted pretty much anywhere mastercard is accepted. Not sure if it is still possible but I was lucky enough to buy ShopBack gift cards with Coles Mastercard which means stacking discount. I can pay strata (deft) /ato with Coles Mastercard.

    • truetypezk on 14/04/2024 - 13:54

    • t25 on 14/04/2024 - 18:44

      They value $7.5 in points more than you do.

        Yes if they are bad in mathematics as you are. Or can't read what the post says

        • t25 on 15/04/2024 - 18:25

          1500 points ≠ $7.5?

          I never said anything about deducting the activation fee. Note I'm not one of the 36 who upvoted! ;)

  • AsukaST on 15/04/2024 - 17:26

    10% off is the bottom line

    • Craze on 16/04/2024 - 20:50

      It was never truly 10% off from memory. With the purchase fee the best you'd achieve is 7.48% off on the $250 card

  • wesman on 15/04/2024 - 22:49

    2.38% no thanks. Stocked up with $35k of cards in the recent $100/200 2000 points a little while ago, but even that deal wasn’t a great one. We need to boycott this and force them to up the ante again

  • capslock on 17/04/2024 - 07:05

    Already sold out at my local. What a joke.

    • Craze on 18/04/2024 - 11:16

  • Gmaster on 17/04/2024 - 10:21

    This isn't good news when they sell out fast for 1500 bonus points. We may not see 2000 points again.
    Coles have recently offered 1000 points instead of 2000 points for other gift cards too

    • t25 on 17/04/2024 - 11:17

      People are desperate for any and all savings. I think Colesworth will eventually just give up the gift card game eventually. Too much hassle and might not be worth their time.

    • SnoozeAndLose on 18/04/2024 - 07:49

      What did the transaction activity say that get you to negative?

    • JIMB0 on 18/04/2024 - 08:08

      Sometimes the system can glitch and not take points when redeeming 2000 points for $10 off. Then it's caught up and you're in the negative.

    • King Tightarse on 18/04/2024 - 09:57

      Did you return something that had a points bonus?

      • shoppe on 18/04/2024 - 22:51

        I used my phone to redeem 6000 points for 30 flybuy dollars.
        A couple of minutes later, I checked out via the self-serve, spending over $50.
        The terminal asked if I wanted to redeem 2000 points for $10 off, and I said yes.
        I then proceeded to use my 30 flybuy dollars.
        Now my balance is -799 points.

        • Yola on 19/04/2024 - 07:13

          Were the points on your card or still in your account when the terminal offered you the option to redeem them?

              • truetypezk on 20/04/2024 - 09:43

                @Neoika: Yeah it is a long lasting bug that never seem to get fixed. Back in the days when you need a Coles Financial Services products to get unlimited $10 off, you could double dip all your FB points by buying a gift card with the FB$ and do a lot of $10 transactions at Coles. Rather tedious I would say.

          • shoppe on 20/04/2024 - 22:31

            @zuruhara: How did you do that? New name and same address, or same name and new address? Or wasn't the card registered?

                @Yola: Why not change some details before ditch it? It also cost nothing to get a disposable new number.
