    ill take the 10 percent off over this easy

    • Hopefully your ALDI doesn’t run out of stock. I know mine always has with those deals. Coles is reliable plus this deal includes many more cards and is great for point collectors.

      • idk lol havent seen an aldi one for a while so we will see

    • What's this one mate?

    • +1

      If you don't pay by credit card, it is 10% off.

    • Agreed. I found Flybuys a pain to use. I eventually figured it out but you essentially needed the physical card to load money onto it and you needed to sign up for flypay to pay online.

      This is essentially 10% off in flybuys but I’d always rather it in cash money.

      • +1

        You can use flybuys points to buy giftcards

        • That’s a good point. Although given that I got the points due to buy gift cards in the first place, that sounds like an infinite loop of doom.

      • +1

        Some Coles checkout would ask you if you want to use $10, without loading onto the physically card, but only $10.

        To buy a gift card using Flybuys dollars, you must have enough to cover the entire amount, because basket containing gift card does not allow split payment.

        • Yeah, I have been using that, but I don't normally shop at Coles so I figured that was going to take ages.

        • I just tried this and it said invalid mix or something so can confirm that you are unable to buy giftcards with flybuy dollars in this instance.

  • Where do people get eBay gcs these days? I have a few under $20 purchases needing gcs.

  • +1

    baby bunting anywhere?

    • +3

      Baby Bunting does not participate in the Ultimate gift card scheme.

      Baby Bunting participates in the TCN gift card scheme, but only appears on a couple of TCN gift cards.

      • +2

        Thanks

        • +3

          Just a heads up for you and @ozbargainerlife1 that there is an upcoming deal at BIG W that includes $50 TCN Baby gift cards (and those include Baby Bunting).

  • So say I were to buy 10 x $100 gift cards, how many QFF points could I get please?

    • +3

      0 QFF

      Only Velocity/Flybuys in this deal.

  • Can I convert these to Officeworks eGiftcards to use online?

    • I don't think so.

      I had a look at the Ultimate gift card website, and it does not list Officeworks under the Exchange for eGift option for any of the gift cards that feature Officeworks. I also had a look at the gift card exchange portal (using an Ultimate Everyone gift card) and I cannot see an option for Officeworks on there.

      Additionally, it is against the Ultimate gift card terms and conditions and the Officeworks gift card policy to use an Ultimate gift card to purchase an Officeworks (or Coles Group & Myer) gift card.


      It is possible (at least in theory) to use 1x Ultimate gift card on the Officeworks website, as Officeworks is listed on the Ultimate gift card as a participating retailer that accepts Ultimate gift cards online. The issue is that I have seen multiple reports on OzBargain where their Ultimate gift cards were rejected by Officeworks' website at the checkout page (and I suspect the Ultimate gift cards were getting caught up in the fraud checks Officeworks appears to do when you attempt to use a Visa card on their website).

      • +1

        Didn't someone say they blocked it at the registers?

        So even if it wasn't explicitly stated, the registers won't even let you.

      • I had a lot of trouble using the Special Gift Cards "Techhead" card or whatever at Officeworks online. Ended up going in-store to redeem. My friend had similar problems, and solved it by making the purchase on the phone. Very annoying.

  • Can you process and pay the variable load cards at the self checkout?

    • depends on where. Some allow to split payments in self-chckout, others dont.

      • Probably can't do it. Previously, I couldn't do a split payment at the self-checkout for gift cards at my local store. Checkout called for a staff member who also couldn't do it and sent me to a staffed checked.

        • What store is it?

          • @abs898: Taigum QLD.

            • @rokufan: What brand are you talking about? You have posted an independent comment asking about self checkout?

              • @abs898: The ones in this deal.

                • @rokufan: Ah I misread it. 🤦

                  I haven had a manager override it for my at self check out once to get a variable load gift card. But on hindsight, it could have been woolies.

      • You can't split payment on gift cards, it is to prevent subsequent payment using gift card while the first payment has been processed. It gets messy having to refund mid flight or to stage the payments, making things unnecessarily complex.

  • I can’t do maths. If I get x15 $100, how many velocity points could I expect?

    • My calculations tell me 15,000

    • It' 20 Flybuys per $ or 10 Velocity per $.

      Hope that makes maths easy.

      • Thanks

  • I don't see Bunnings as part of any ultimate cards? Do they only sell as stand alone gift cards?

    • Yep.

    • Some exchange type gift cards can swap for Bunnings, you can buy those at discount (when they are on sale).

      Such as Prezzee and Special, but the cap is pretty low, nothing significant.

  • doesn't seem to have a limit of how many card we can purchase per flybuy account? although it's not a big problem given we can buy variable ones…

    • Max 50,000 points per flybuys account, which means only the first $2500 you get the bonus points.

  • does coles still have ultimate home variable 20-500?

    • +1

      Hello again!

      I have never seen Coles stock the Ultimate Home gift card in the variable load ($50-$500) denomination. Woolworths stocks that though.

      I had a quick look at Coles not long ago and spotted the following gift cards in the variable load ($50-$500) denomination:

      • Celebrate
      • Everyone
      • Kids
      • Thank You

      Of course, stock will vary from store to store…

      • +1

        Hi Wookie!
        Thank you for confirming. I was going to get it for pet circle for my pets as I have two cats now

  • +1

    Can use the ShopBack supermarket gift card for extra 2.25% cashback if you can be bothered. Worked previously for me with AirBnB vouchers from Coles

    • -1

      Gift Cards can't be used to purchase other Gift Cards at Coles.

  • Hello, could I please confirm, how do you know it includes variable load as it doesn’t specifically say it in the small print? In the past, it has only been the specific cards pictured (in this case $50)… I would like to get 5 x $500 by getting the variable load but want to make sure I will definitely receive the points!! Also my Cole’s has only put the special tickets on the $50 cards.

    Thanks!

    • +6

      Variable cards are included. Here's how you can tell:

      • If you set your Coles app to In Store and search 'Ultimate Gift Card' you will see a Flybuys icon next to all gift cards in the Ultimate range – including variable load – indicating that they're all in the promotion.

      • Coles always specifically mentions it if variable load cards are excluded (e.g. here and here).

      • They usually only show $50 cards (or the nearest stocked denomination) in the catalogue even though many others are also included.

      • The last 20x Flybuys points offer on Ultimate gift cards in February also didn't specifically include variable cards but everyone who bought them still received the points.

      • good tips thanks

      • +1

        Wonderful, thank you so much for confirming. I had also asked Coles staff and they said they were NOT included in the promotion, but there is often a lot of confusion over these promotions.

  • Hi. Can Ultimate Gift Cards that have JB HIFI listed as a retailer be exchanged for an actual JB HIFI eGift Card?

    • +1

      Yes, but you can only do this by going to the exchange portal on the Ultimate gift card website.

      It is against the terms and conditions of Ultimate gift cards (and JB Hi-Fi’s gift card policy) to use an Ultimate gift card to purchase a gift card directly from JB Hi-Fi itself. I tried to do that via Apple Pay on the JB Hi-Fi website a couple of weeks ago, but JB Hi-Fi cancelled my order for “security reasons”.

      • +1

        Thank you. So no problems at all via the exchange portal? JB HiFi has price matched a fridge for me but I can not pay for it by a Third Party Gift Card only a JB HiFi gift card.

        • +1

          Correct, because the exchange portal is operated by Blackhawk Network (the Ultimate gift card scheme owner/operator), not JB Hi-Fi.

          You can find the link to the exchange portal on the Ultimate gift card website, and you will need the 16-digit card number (starting with 4), the expiry date and the CVV2 to access the exchange portal.

        • I had no idea that you couldn't use Ultimate cards for JB Hifi price matching. Is this because you price matched online?

  • Am I eligible to receive 20x points if I buy more than 5 cards in the same day?

    • The terms and conditions don't make any mention of a maximum number of cards pet day - only that a maximum of 50,000 points can be earned per fly buys account.

      • Checkout chick wouldn't let me buy more than 5. Told me that was the daily limit.

        • +1

          Yep, same with me.

  • @nekko i am keen to understand that as well

  • +1

    @WookieMonster

    Thanks for confirming on officeworks online but i hope no change in number of cards that can be used in-store

  • Why is the list of retailers for Cole’s everyone different to aldis everyone card and different to the ultimate cards website? Namely sunglass hut is not there?

    • The source of truth for participating retailers on Ultimate gift cards is the Ultimate gift card website, as outlined by clause 1 of the Ultimate gift card terms and conditions.

      Sunglass Hut was only added to the Ultimate Everyone gift card (and a few others) on 03 April 2024, and it looks like Coles and ALDI have not updated their websites and/or catalogues to reflect this change. To be fair, I would not blame for them for lack of updates, because participating retailers change on at least one type of Ultimate gift card on average every few weeks.

      Additionally, if you look at the physical gift card packaging in-store, it should say the date the gift card itself was manufactured. The physical Ultimate Everyone gift cards you see at your local Coles or ALDI would have been manufactured at least a few months ago, because it takes time for a gift card to be manufactured, eventually mailed to (or dropped off at) a store and then put it for sale. That is why you need to rely on what the Ultimate gift card website says, rather than solely the gift card packaging.

  • +1

    Bought a $500 Ultimate Birthday Variable card yesterday afternoon. Received 10,000 points just now.

  • +2

    Received 20x points for the Ultimate Everyone and Birthday variable card bought yesterday.
    Also can confirm that no card amount limits (I bought 4 everyone and 2 birthday card in total $2500).

    • +1

      Limit on 50k points

      • That is points limit, not the number of cards limits.

        • +1

          Yes. No matter how many cards, only not over $2500.

    • Also received 20x points for Ultimate Home cards

  • Anyone know if you can split payment at coles? I would like to buy a variable gift card using 2x Shopback supermarket cards

    • +1

      You can, but only at staff checkout, not self checkout

  • did they remove JB Hifi from Ultimate Celebrate cards? JB and TGG are on the packaging but no longer showing on the website..

    • I just checked the list of participating retailers I have extracted from the Ultimate gift card website since the introduction of the Ultimate Celebrate gift card in late last year, and I have never seen JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys listed as participating retailers for that gift card on the website (which is supposed to be the source of truth).

      However, I just checked a photo I took of an Ultimate Celebrate gift card in late 2023 and can see the JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys logos on there, so I am not sure whether the mistake is with with the gift card packaging or the Ultimate gift card website.

    • Are you sure it is the Celebrate card under this offer?
      When I went in store it was a little confusing at first because there are other brand gift cards which also say Celebration or Celebrate etc that had the JB logo, but when I had a closer look I realised they weren't Ultimate Gift cards

    • +2

      FYI, Blackhawk Network updated the Ultimate Celebrate gift card webpage on the Ultimate gift card website today to include JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and Kathmandu. It looks like they forgot to add those participating retailers to that webpage…

  • Have bought Ultimate Celebrate 1 hour ago, have tried to use it online at Officeworks and got this error "There was an error processing your order. Please try again or try a different payment method.". Has somebody come across this?

    I've checked my balance and it's available too.

    • +1

      This for reference.

    • +2

      Did you use the expiry date shown on the front of the gift card packaging? If you did, it sounds like Officeworks’ website is rejecting your gift card, due to it failing the security checks it appears to be running on online purchases. (As you can see in the link above, it is a common issue.)

      The only two workarounds I can suggest are:

      • Call 1300 OFFICE and ask for an explanation for your Ultimate gift card being rejected. You should also be able to have a rep place the order for you over the phone. (The only issue right now is that this phone number only operates on weekdays.)

      • Go to a physical Officeworks store (but that assumes you can actually get to an Officeworks store with minimal fuss and the store has the item you want in stock.)

      Btw, you cannot use an Ultimate gift card to purchase any gift cards at Officeworks, so if that was what you were trying to purchase, I would expect the Officeworks website to reject your Ultimate gift card.

      • +1

        Thanks Wookie. I will try to call them on Monday. Closest branch is at least an hour away. Only had the Celebrate available in store and had no other options…

        • surely Ultimate would have to add JB and TGG onto Ultimate Celebrate cards if they can't be used instore as well - it would be false advsertising if not?

      • +1

        Again. Thanks for this comment - especially first dot point. The first person who picked up the call said I cannot place an order through the phone if I am paying with a gift card. Decided I will try the second time and the person was happy to process the order with gift card.

        They are aware it's an existing issue that some gift cards aren't accepting on their website.

        • I am glad you got there in the end!

          Did you tell the first rep that you had a gift card or a Visa card? In terms of processing payments, Ultimate gift cards are treated by Officeworks as a Visa card, not a “gift card” (which is actually only in reference to Officeworks gift cards and Coles Group & Myer gift cards). You cannot redeem Officeworks gift cards and Coles Group & Myer gift cards over the phone at Officeworks, so I suspect the first rep thought you were talking about those gift cards.

  • Does anyone have a problem using Ultimate gift cards for Uber?
    I can't add them as a payment method. It keep saying it is not valid card or something.

    • +1

      You are using the Ultimate gift card incorrectly.

      If you look at the webpage for the Ultimate gift card you have, it will show you how each participating retailer accepts Ultimate gift cards. Uber is an exchange-only retailer, which means you must go to the Ultimate gift card exchange portal1 and exchange the full or partial balance of your Ultimate gift card for an Uber eGift Card. You will need the Ultimate gift card's card number, expiry date and CVV2 to access this exchange portal.


      1. You can also find the link to this portal on the Ultimate gift card website.
