      I think some may take Vanilla VISA for it. Vanilla VISA is also on Woolworths' shelf with a different package to the one at Coles.

      Plenty in Beenleigh but that is a poor city so it's likely that the pricier gift cards stay there.

          Someone messaged me a month ago, telling me that they tried to do this and got an Items Not Allowed error.

          That does not surprise me at all, because some gift cards sold at Woolworths (e.g. TCN eftpos gift cards) have more restrictions on the payment cards that you can use to pay for them.

          • tajid on 03/06/2024 - 19:11

            @WookieMonster: Separate question, is the use still capped at around $400 per every 30 mins or so?

              @tajid: Apparently not anymore.

              I also redeemed over $500 in one tap from a Category Choice Groceries gift card at Coles nearly two weeks ago. Category Choice Groceries gift cards are functionally just Activ Visa gift cards (just like ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift cards).

                @WookieMonster: Hi @WookieMonster, a bit off-topic, I tried to pay for car inspection at a service center with the 7-11 visa card but the payment was declined. Any ideas about that?

                • WookieMonster on 04/06/2024 - 11:10
                  +1

                  @nned2say: It is most likely because the service centre uses an MCC not permitted on 7-Eleven digital gift cards.

                  Does the service centre sell fuel to customers?

                  I had a look at Visa's MCC booklet and if the service centre does not sell fuel, it sounds like the service centre should be classified as:

                  MCC Title Description Examples
                  7538 Automotive Service Shops (Non-Dealer) Merchants classified with this MCC conduct automotive repairs and general or specific services. Automotive Glass Repair/Replacement; Car Service Shops; Lube Stations – Quick Stop; Muffler Shops; Oil Changers – Lube Stations; Repairs – Automotive Service Shops; Tune-Up Shops – Automotive; Wheel Alignment, Balancing, Repair Service – Automotive

                  On the other hand, the 7-Eleven digital gift card is advertised to work at 7-Eleven locations. My belief is that the only MCCs that are supposed to be permitted on this gift card are:

                  MCC Title Description Examples
                  5499 Miscellaneous Food Stores - Convenience Stores and Specialty Markets Merchants classified with this MCC sell specialty foods not classified with a more specific MCC. Convenience Stores; Delicatessens; Food Stores - Convenience; Fruit Markets; Gourmet Food Stores; Health Food Stores; Mini Markets; Poultry Shops; Produce Markets; Specialty Food Markets; Vegetable Markets; Vitamin Stores; Meal Preparation Kits
                  5541 Service Stations (With or without Ancillary Services) Merchants classified with this MCC are retail sellers of engine fuel. These Merchants may or may not also have a convenience store, car wash, or automotive repair shop on the premises, but must sell fuel for consumer use. Excluded from this category code are Automated Fuel Dispensers, MCC 5542 Filling Stations – Automotive Gasoline; Gas Stations (With or Without Ancillary Services); Gasoline – Service Stations; Marina Service Stations; Petrol – Service Stations; Truck Stops – Gasoline Service

                  The reasons I believe these are the only two officially permitted MCCs on the 7-Eleven digital gift card are:

                  • When many OzBargainers were using Hiver debit cards to get 5% cashback at selected merchants, 7-Eleven service stations were reportedly using MCC 5541, whereas 7-Eleven convenience stores at locations not selling fuel (e.g. inner-city convenience stores) were reportedly using MCC 5499.

                  • If you go to the Giftz listing for 7-Eleven digital gift cards, the Redemption Instructions on the left-hand side lists the two types of merchants that accept 7-Eleven digital gift cards. Those descriptions align to MCC 5541 and MCC 5499, respectively. I point out Giftz, because it is a gift card portal owned and operated by Blackhawk Network, the same company that operates the 7-Eleven digital gift card scheme.

                    @WookieMonster: Thank you, WookieMonster. It is very impressive. I believe the reason is that the service center doesn't sell fuel.

              • New Chump on 04/06/2024 - 18:05

                @WookieMonster: Hi WM, does this mean that the Category Choice Groceries gift card can be used at Coles, but not Woolies, to purchase gift cards?

                My heath insurer, Aus Unity, has them for sale (which I think is a new offering by them) @ 4% off.

                Cheers

                  @New Chump: At Woolworths, the same restrictions apply to Category Choice Groceries gift cards and ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift cards.

                  From memory, the only gift cards that cannot be purchased using a Category Choice gift card at Woolworths are:

                  • Gift cards issued by Woolworths Group
                  • eBay
                  • TCN eftpos (the open-loop gift cards, not the TCN experience / multi-retailer gift cards)
                  • Westfield eftpos
                  • Vanilla Visa
                  • Vanilla Mastercard

                  Other gift cards sold at Woolworths (e.g. Apple, TCN experience, TCN multi-retailer, Ultimate) should still be able to be purchased using Category Choice Groceries gift cards.

      • detlef7 on 03/06/2024 - 18:08

        You can't add to PayPal balance, but you can use this card in PayPal to pay for anything that accepts PayPal payment.

        • theaudacity on 04/06/2024 - 10:33

          Why would you do that, wouldn't it be the same as if you just paid via the card?

          Additionally, lets say I got a bill for $900. Would paypal allow me to break the payment into 2, by paying $500 from vanilla card1 and $400 from vanilla card2?

          • WookieMonster on 04/06/2024 - 11:03

            @theaudacity:

            Why would you do that, wouldn't it be the same as if you just paid via the card?

            Not necessarily. Paying via PayPal instead of directly could get around any restrictions a merchant has placed on cards with no 3-D Secure support (or prepaid cards more generally).

            For example, Prezzee would most likely reject a Vanilla Mastercard gift card if you inputted the card details directly into the online checkout, because it has no 3-D Secure support. For a business that is at a higher risk to fraudulent transactions, it would make sense to mandate 3-D Secure to try and ensure the verified cardholder is the person who is actually initiating the purchase. However, if you checkout via PayPal, Prezzee no longer cares about whether the card you are using via PayPal supports 3-D Secure.

            Additionally, lets say I got a bill for $900. Would paypal allow me to break the payment into 2, by paying $500 from vanilla card1 and $400 from vanilla card2?

            This depends on whether the merchant in question would allow PayPal to do split payments across two cards.

              @WookieMonster: So, if my maths is right. I buy $500 card and total benefit in $$ terms would be $17.05. So in percentage terms it is 3.41% (17.05/500). On top off that, I have access to WW gift cards via senior card, so in total abt 8.41% off value.

                  @capslock: i am doing the other way around actually. So buy these vanilla gift cards using my credit card (original offer 3.41%). Add these vanilla gift cards to my pay account and use that paypal to out discounted WW gift cards (5% off using concession card).

            • truetypezk on 07/06/2024 - 01:32

              @WookieMonster: I think the Coles/Vanilla Mastercard will always return a pass result for the 3DS challenge. As for Prezzee, it is probably a BIN-based restriction/fraud prevention.

      I have used the 10% off prepaid mastercards to pay rent via DEFT (and a few other bills via that platform)

      However I got a call from the property manager asking me not to do it again as they get charged per transaction on their end - so were annoyed that I had paid $2k in rent in $100-$250 transactions. They were quite confused why I even did it given its not like I'm behind on rent.

      • t25 on 04/06/2024 - 09:20

          I found it too much hassle to do 2x $500 during last EFTPOS rewards deal since with $7.95 fee came to a total of $1015.90 which is over the daily limit of $1000.00 The shopkeep was somewhat hesitant to allow me to buy them so I am planning to just do one $500 card per day if I can find them.

          Also you have to think that what funds you do have locked on gift cards are missing out on ~5% interest or more either from an offset account or high interest saving account. So each day you have stored cash is costing you in missed interest earnings. Might only be cents a day but it all adds up.

                  @Hendot: Oh nice, thanks. Did you do it through bpay or in ato website direct? Thanks

                    @Bargain-er: ATO website. Credit card option. I input “vanilla” as the name on the card.

                        @Bargain-er: And the $1 fee is tax deductible 😉

                          @Hendot: Ah haha, nice! And we can put any amount yea? Somehow my balance is zero and seems that I can't try out by paying credit to my Acc. Thanks

    Does this stack with the Everyday Extra membership 2x points?

    I just paid ATO using BPAY. Not sure if its processed. Is there anyway to cancel BPAY payment if anyone knows?
