Note that these apparently no longer work with PayPal (Edit: PayPal appears to be working again now), DEFT or Sniip but they do still seem to work for ATO payments.

For each variable Vanilla Visa gift card you buy loaded with $500, you’re essentially paying $7.95 (the purchase fee) to earn $25 worth of Everyday Rewards Dollars (or 2,500 Qantas points):

Gift Card Purchase Fee EDR Dollars Earned Profit/Loss
$50 $5.95 $2.50 -$3.45
$100 $5.95 $5.00 -$0.95
$25-500 (loaded with $500) $7.95 $25.00 $17.05

See the Gift Card FAQ for more info about these cards.

Scan your Everyday Rewards Card to collect 10x points. Excludes Woolworths Online and MILKRUN. Standard points will not be earned on amount spent on gift cards, but the relevant number of bonus points that you qualify for under this offer. Bonus points can take up to 14 business days to be loaded onto your Everyday Rewards Card from date of purchase. Refer to individual cards for their terms and conditions. All Vanilla Visa Cards are subject to purchase fees $50 = $5.95, $100 = $5.95, variable $25-$500 = $7.95. For cards with a fixed value, limit of 5 cards per day per Rewards Member.

        The reason is due to DEFT apparently recently requiring all Visa cards being used on their platform to support 3-D Secure. All prepaid Visa gift cards do not support 3-D Secure and should therefore be rejected by DEFT.

        • truetypezk on 25/06/2024 - 12:56

          I think Activ and Coles Mastercard will both always pass 3DS challenge. If it doesn't work it is probably to due some additional risk control measures.
          Vanilla Visa on the other hand has always been a PITA though :)

          • WookieMonster on 25/06/2024 - 14:11

            @truetypezk: I have noticed Activ Visa gift cards somehow bypass some 3-D Secure challenges (but not all) when you enter the card details directly into the online checkout, whereas Vanilla Visa gift cards almost always fail them.

            Coles Mastercard gift cards are different, because those operate on the Mastercard network. From experience, I find that a prepaid Mastercard gift card is more likely to bypass a 3-D Secure challenge than Activ Visa gift cards (let alone Vanilla Visa gift cards).

      • abs898 on 24/06/2024 - 23:36

        Activ still works and Coles MasterCard works as well.

        • natlif on 25/06/2024 - 00:44

          Just to confirm - Activ as in Activ Visa?

      • xiazai0003 on 25/06/2024 - 10:50

  • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 24/06/2024 - 23:42

    Are people able to use Vanilla Visa to buy TCN cards, which are much more sophisticated and user friendly?

    • keepsmiling on 25/06/2024 - 09:37

    Can these b used for land tax in vic?

    • donb on 26/06/2024 - 09:32

      can confirm it works. Declined when I tried straight after buying (stated insufficient funds), but worked now. I used $497.75 (0.45% transaction fee) for a $500 land tax. You can try $497.76

      • Frozensage on 26/06/2024 - 09:35

        Still giving me withdrawl limit reached, I assume I have to wait.

        • donb on 26/06/2024 - 09:37

          probably, I waited 2 hrs. before retrying.

          • Frozensage on 26/06/2024 - 10:47

            @donb: Sweet made payment just now, now to buy some more.

  • rekke on 25/06/2024 - 08:59

    Time to pay off my remaining HECS balance after EOFY!

    Managed to pay most of it off in the last Coles Mastercard deal and was waiting for another prepaid VISA/Mastercard deal!

    • jasperthegoat on 25/06/2024 - 22:15

      Indexation is applied to HELP debts on 1 June each year. So there's no rush to pay it off by EOFY now.

  • SydBoy on 25/06/2024 - 10:04

    can you use this to buy insurance policy online and NSW Rego renewal ?

    is it only to be used in store or it works online as well? looks like many comment above it is no longer useful for online payment.is that correct?

    I have roughly 3,000 worth car rego, insurances renewal and service cost so this comes handy if only i can pay using online and instore otherwise i end-up collecting $3000 worth card and of no use is not desirable.

  • Panpanw on 25/06/2024 - 13:11

    Can I use Coles Master Gift Card to pay this one?
    That is MasterCard Prepaid.

    who is that silly to buy those, not worth it.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 25/06/2024 - 14:12

      For people with BPay transactions it was worth it to pay through Sniip etc., especially those accumulating for Qantas Points Club. Now extremely dubious value without easy online redemption.

  • browser on 25/06/2024 - 15:00

    Can this be used to pay council rates through BPOINT?

    Has anyone tried recently?

  • danielh on 25/06/2024 - 17:44

    Hmmm. Do I apply for a new credit card with those spend $3-4k in 90 day deals and then get lots of these $500 viariable isa cards and pay my taxes straight away…..might be worthwhile. I have not applied for a new CC in many many years.

  • sun-shine on 25/06/2024 - 18:09

    Will I get bonus points if I pick up a temporary card at Woolies and register it afterwards?

  • ilovelollies on 25/06/2024 - 21:42

    Does anyone know how long until the everyday points get credited? Wonder if it’s as speedy as flybuys next 24hrs?

      Everyday Rewards is usually instant. Even if the checkout is having internet issues, it has never been more than about an hour for me.

    • tbone74 on 26/06/2024 - 09:11

      Purchased this morning, points were instant.

  • dinted on 25/06/2024 - 22:02

    Please be aware that the Vanilla Visa gift cards from the Coles deal a few months ago do not currently work with merchants that use $0 transactions to validate the card - including Paypal, Sniip, and Amazon.

    I'd love to hear if these Vanilla Visa cards from Woolworths end up working with any of those merchants.

    • dinted on 26/06/2024 - 08:49
      +2

      Just on this - the cards are sold as working everywhere where Visa is accepted, so what we've bought does not function as advertised. If others want to voice their concerns, I recommend putting in a complaint to Heritage Bank. They can connect the complaint through to Incomm Payments, who are responsible for this.

  • ozmaxz on 26/06/2024 - 01:56

    I just try to add Vanilla Visa to paypal and it doesn't work. It says it is declined by issuer. So annoying. I will skip this one I guess.

  • tobi3421 on 26/06/2024 - 08:38

    Is anyone having trouble using these for ATO? Coming up as "transaction declined" for me :(

        It also worked for me. 2 x $500 payments in the ATO site.

      • tobi3421 on 26/06/2024 - 09:27

        Thanks, I just tried again and it worked. Must've needed some time to activate properly even though the online balance said $500

        • truetypezk on 26/06/2024 - 10:08

            @truetypezk: A bit over 1.5 hours after purchasing

            @truetypezk: My cards all became useable exactly 30 minutes after purchasing.

              @VantageXL: Feels right. Mine were declined @ 20 mins and then worked somewhere less than an hour. Probably 30 mins like you have suggested. Cheers.

      • MBerry18 on 26/06/2024 - 22:35

        Are you using Government EasyPay service when making the payment and paying $2 card payment fee? or is this an alternative way to make payment with the gift cards to avoid any fees to the ATO?

  • cpkcpk on 26/06/2024 - 09:00

    A friend just bought 2x $500. Hasn’t been able to pay ATO yet…will try again later. Balance states $500 on each….

    Found this morning that I wasn't able to purchase using the Shopback Supermarket card, received Item Not Allowed message. Seems this option to stack discounts is no longer available. Didn't have any of the HCF Category Choice Grocery cards to test but guessing it would be the same.

    • WookieMonster on 26/06/2024 - 11:59

      That would be my guess too, because ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift cards and Category Choice Groceries gift cards (and most Activ Visa gift cards) use the same BIN when added to a mobile wallet.

    • R n b on 26/06/2024 - 13:39

        should be same result "Item Not Allowed" as I tried on TCN eftpos last time.

        I think vanilla is same supplier of coles MC, when checking balance of vanilla MC, it's showing as "coles MC"

    • t25 on 26/06/2024 - 20:36

      3.4% > 0%.

      That is ignoring any other costs involved in getting the cards, financing, etc. I can't say who is right or wrong, as it is all relative.

    • truetypezk on 26/06/2024 - 23:31

      Think of it as $34+/transaction. You can probably do 2-3 trans in the same store with their arbitrary 5~10 cards/person limit. $100+/visit is actually pretty decent.

      • rokufan on 27/06/2024 - 00:36

        You can probably do 2-3 trans in the same store with their arbitrary 5~10 cards/person limit.

          With 3 edr accounts of course.
          The official gift card purchase limit at Woolies has always been 10/person but I find it hard to convince them to sell you 10x500. I am usually more than happy with 5 or 6.

    • Hendot on 27/06/2024 - 11:18

      Find me a cheaper way to pay a tax bill or council rates.

    • Frozensage on 27/06/2024 - 11:43

    Why does Vanilla want to maintain 2 type Mastercard and Visa card at the same time? It will cause confusion for ppl who wants to buy these promotion beside the Visa card can't use with PIN and with higher fee on ATO payment, why don't they just go with the Mastercard option and just get rid of this Visa one?

    • browser on 27/06/2024 - 09:14

      The Vanilla brand is owned by Incomm Payments, Visa or Master is just more channels for them to sell their products.

        I used these last night at Costco.

        And if I recall correctly Costco isn't classified as a supermarket but as a warehouse or something like that, which would mean Shopback Supermarket cards won't work there. They didn't work when I've tried in the past but haven't tried again recently.
