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.

    I have been advised by Incomm that they have lifted the restriction on Paypal, Sniip, and Amazon (see my comment here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15428492/redir)

    However, the terms and conditions still state that recurring transactions are not permitted, and we can't get out of that one unfortunately. I couldn't get it to work with a recurring insurance payment and Spotify directly via their site.

    • cuteduck on 27/06/2024 - 20:46

      Still does not work with sniip..trying to pay my super with no success

      • Anna8 on 27/06/2024 - 21:08

        Could you add it as a payment method but then wasn't able to pay with it into super? or you couldn't even add it as a payment method at all?

        • dinted on 27/06/2024 - 22:27

          I managed to just add it as a payment method, but haven't tried actually paying a bill yet (ain't got anything to pay right now)

          • Anna8 on 28/06/2024 - 08:54

            @dinted: Yes, I too managed to add it as a payment type but haven't tried paying with it yet

        • cuteduck on 28/06/2024 - 12:20

          I can add to the payment method but unable to use it to pay the super fund

          • dinted on 28/06/2024 - 14:34

            @cuteduck: Which super fund is it? What error does sniip have? I can only try on July 1st, but I can ask Incomm maybe.

            • cuteduck on 28/06/2024 - 20:54

              @dinted: It does work tonight for payment to qsuper

  • ts13 on 27/06/2024 - 16:35

    Anyone know if these cards get restocked daily?

    • firestint on 27/06/2024 - 19:45

      Was told by a guy at my local store that they come in batches instead of periodically so hard to say when's the next restock

      • ts13 on 27/06/2024 - 20:08

        I got the last two (variable load) in a store yesterday at about 2pm I think, and there were heaps more today after 5pm so no problems.
        Couldn’t pay using my Prezzee gift cards though :(

  • ozbargainerlife1 on 27/06/2024 - 19:32

    got an error at woolies when trying to use these cards to buy groceries "over limit" something

  • Piquant on 27/06/2024 - 20:51

    Spent most of the value on paying off AIA Health and the remainder on Sydney Water (through PayPal). Thanks!

  • denserham on 27/06/2024 - 21:51

    So has anybody tried these with sniip yet?

    • ckwatsydney on 28/06/2024 - 05:51

      Tried to pay my strata levy, which also declines paying by vanilla visa gift cards. No luck.

      It said: Payment method not selectable. This biller does not support this payment method.

    Turns out not everywhere can "swipe". Tried to pay for dinner last night, the joint uses a basic Square Reader that can only do contactless and chip insert, not magnetic strip.

    • truetypezk on 28/06/2024 - 09:04

      That (and the square stand) is probably the only pos that doesnt allow magstripe transactions.

      • browser on 28/06/2024 - 10:08

        It was a decent restaurant with multiple locations, they have iPads on every table to place orders, so I wonder who made the technology choice to go for the cheapest Square Reader for payment, it doesn't look like a business who can't afford a $300 Square Terminal.

        Even small takeaway joints can afford, if not buy, to rent smart terminals.

        • Neoika on 28/06/2024 - 10:44

          Buy Restaurant Choice and add it to digital wallet.

    • decryption on 29/06/2024 - 11:30

      Also found that some Commonwealth Bank card readers (like at my local pharmacy) don't have swipe either, so can't use these gift cards there.

      • WookieMonster on 29/06/2024 - 12:09

        Which Commonwealth Bank EFTPOS terminal are you talking about? There are currently four available for merchants and three of them have a magstripe reader.

        • The Smart Mini does not have a magstripe reader.

        • The Smart has the magstripe reader hidden on the bottom of the EFTPOS terminal, below the screen. That would mean you would need to physically pick up the EFTPOS terminal to swipe your Vanilla Visa gift card, and I did have one merchant once become confused when I asked whether I could grab the EFTPOS terminal to swipe my card.

        • The Smart Integrated and Essential Plus have the magstripe reader to the right of the EFTPOS terminal screen (like most EFTPOS terminals).

  • BrownEyedGirl on 28/06/2024 - 09:35

    I bought two and used them to pay ahm private health insurance and the balance remaining to top up my Linkt toll account with no issues.

    I've been buying a lot of cards and this has never happened to me before. I bought two happy birthday cards and loaded $500 on each. When I opened them, each one was missing numbers on the front, there were all twelve numbers instead of sixteen and no security code on the back. Very disturbing. I called them and they said to send photos and a copy of the receipt. Please hang on to that receipt. Previously, I was only saving the activation paper.

      Your cards were tampered like the issue above. Not surprising in Melbourne, from all the stories over the years.

    • tbone74 on 28/06/2024 - 19:36

      If you're willing, possibly share which store you bought from? Would be a welcome heads up to others that purchased from the same place to check their cards if they haven't opened them yet.

    • bargainbot12 on 28/06/2024 - 22:19

      Are they going to send you out new cards? Or do a bank transfer of the money owed?

      • yoyo6 on 28/06/2024 - 22:24

        They said they will send me new cards.

        • truetypezk on 30/06/2024 - 00:57

          You can ask for a refund as it is considered as a major defect under the ACL. It is your choice to opt for a refund or a replacement. You will get the full amount + card fees transferred back to you. I have done it once with incomm and they were pretty cooperative.

  • googoogaga on 28/06/2024 - 19:34

    Anyone else having issues using this vanilla visas to buy shopback supermarket gift cards?

    • RTY on 28/06/2024 - 23:09

      Bought $200 and $300 successfully tonight after 40 minutes of buying vanilla visa. Used ShopBack supermarket to buy restaurant choice at coles

      • googoogaga on 30/06/2024 - 18:58

        I am still getting "Please try again or use another payment method".
        Worked fine with the vanilla mastercards, but these visa ones are failing for me

  • ssmith3104 on 29/06/2024 - 01:57

    I use them frequently and about 80% of the time there is no problem. When an acceptance problem arises, in addition to my sometimes using Paypal, I find it easier to use it at PostBillPay (The Australia Post bill payment website)

  • rokufan on 29/06/2024 - 02:39

    Has anyone used these for super contributions?

  • decryption on 29/06/2024 - 11:27

    Tried to use a Vanilla Visa to pay Leaptel (ISP) - no dice, didn't work.
    The card did however work with OVO Energy (electricity retailer) - dumped the entire $500 on there, which should give me plenty of credit for a few months.

    Might pick up some more next time I'm at Woolworths so I can pay the ATO next week.

  • aiyoyo on 29/06/2024 - 11:37

    Can we add this card to Google Wallet?

    • WookieMonster on 29/06/2024 - 12:10

      No.

      All Vanilla Visa gift cards sold in Australia do not support any mobile wallets.

  • aiyoyo on 29/06/2024 - 13:25

    Are we able to pay ATO extra by using this card and claim the money back on tax return?

    • tbone74 on 29/06/2024 - 20:20
      +3

      Yes but after my previous experience I strongly recommend against it. If you have a refund due to excess payment in advance they don't just process as a normal refund. They cancel the original card payment so the money will go back on the card. But they claim not to have the card details on file so you need to have the card details (eg. Still have the card) or they can't process the cancellation and you can't get your money back. And they don't notify you of any of the above, you need to chase them after you notice you didn't receive the refund. And you'll be chasing them for months trying to get it all resolved.
      Somewhere in an earlier post for another prepaid card deal I've shared a longer version of my experience if you're interested in more info. But I wouldn't do it. It's ok to use prepaid cards to pay some of an expected tax debt in advance, just make sure not to prepay too much and end up with a refund due.

        Thank you for sharing your experience.

      • truetypezk on 30/06/2024 - 00:53

        If they really dont have the original card details, you should be able to give them your bank card details and tell them you paid from there. They cant prove you wrong lol.

    • magster on 29/06/2024 - 21:27

      Not from my experience. I had $2500 stuck there for a few years, until I finally had a tax debt last year. I tried ages ago just to see what happens, the overpayment didn’t get returned with my normal tax return. I think they can manually process it back to the original cards as mentioned above, but it was too much headache.

  • coolhead on 29/06/2024 - 22:37

    so how many cards people are buying, is anyone useing multiple accounts to buy more cards? I will end up with about 20 cards and will use for tax bill so in all about 20X$17 = $340 savings

    • danielh on 29/06/2024 - 22:51

      I’m still yet to find one to buy lol.

    Are we able to pay for this card by using Woolworths rewards dollars?

  • Kalo on 30/06/2024 - 09:50

    Can we use the cards to buy more cards? e.g. buy 2 x $500 cards and then buy 2 more each day at the cost of an additional ~$15 a day

      Don’t know why you were negged but I think the days of prepaid CC inception is over.
      There may be a chance that the coles Mastercards will still work for certain types of cards in WW but I believe the pure play of using the same type of card to roll through over and over again is over.

  • chrisoz on 30/06/2024 - 13:24

    No variable at Woolies Belconnen (ACT) but plenty at Hawker (ACT) down the road.

  • chrisoz on 30/06/2024 - 13:25

    Used the cards to pay my ACT rates with no issues.

    Though couldn't top up my account on Launtel with it.

  • machej on 30/06/2024 - 19:48

    Used 2 already with no issues. Just use them fast to avoid getting them drained and ensure the packaging is intact with the codes on the back.
