    Can you use EFTPOS online?

    • WookieMonster on 25/07/2024 - 09:10

      You cannot use these gift cards for online transactions (or any other card-not-present transactions, for that matter). The only way you can redeem this gift card is by physically swiping it on the EFTPOS terminal in-person at a merchant that chooses to accept this as a payment method.

      However, to fully answer your question, there are some online merchants where if you use a dual-network debit card (e.g. Commonwealth Bank Debit Mastercard), the payment may be routed through the eftpos network instead of the Mastercard/Visa network. From experience, Bonds Online and Appliances Online have done this.

      • decryption on 29/07/2024 - 13:01

        Stripe does this by default now too. So if you enter your Visa/MC debit card details on a service that uses Stripe to process payments, it'll use Eftpos instead of Visa/MC. Possibly why they dropped their fees in AU to 1.7% instead of 1.75%.

      Useful for Costco shoppers though

      • NonSense on 25/07/2024 - 09:44

        HSBC 2% cashback is much easier. just do split payment

        And don't need to worry about "woolworth dollar"

        • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 09:53

          I believe Costco comes up with an error when you check out using the same card in the same transaction

          When you try to split card, the operator will say to you that you can only use the same card once

          • littlesoldier on 25/07/2024 - 09:57
            +1

            @Poor Ass: Been always able to split $90 in Costco
            And pay using the same HSBC debit card (via Apple Pay)

            • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 09:59

              @littlesoldier: oh then they just outright lied to me

              maybe it's their form of liability avoidance if someone stole a card and kept tapping it for $ under $100

              or did you do card once, apple pay once? or same card twice?

          • GoldCoastGiftCard on 25/07/2024 - 11:29

            @Poor Ass: I've split transactions at Costco between multiple prepaid cards several times.

            • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 11:31
              +1

              @GoldCoastGiftCard: yeah that's no problem and I've done that too

              they give you a warning that if you used the same card twice it won't work but it actually does

          • pistachio on 25/07/2024 - 16:29

            @Poor Ass: That's not true. I always use HSBC card at Costco, splitting bills to get <$100 and never had any issues

            • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 16:49

              @pistachio: exactly it works but the staff warns you before you do it even if they don't know you are using the same card

          Why not both?

          You can easily stack them if you want.

      • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 09:51

        Useful for anywhere that there are no surcharge for EFTPOS

        also Aldi

    • donman92 on 25/07/2024 - 10:11

      Good for ATO payments but I don't think you can with these guys; no online purchases. Wait for vanilla card deals for that.

    • lilkid28 on 25/07/2024 - 21:45

      Have $100k tax bill, I can save $3400, I'll take it.

  • Vaiels on 25/07/2024 - 09:36

    Can confirm this works to pay off ATO. You might need to contact them to get a barcode for auspost to scan. Also not all post offices are willing to take gift cards I’ve found, I had to visit 2.

    • bravemeow on 25/07/2024 - 09:49

      thanks for sharing!

      is there any surcharge with aupost?

    • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 09:54

      you just say paying with EFTPOS and hope for the best

    • ilovelollies on 25/07/2024 - 10:12

      Possible to pay ato online with these?

      • WookieMonster on 25/07/2024 - 10:33
        +2

        No. The gift cards in this deal do not support online transactions.

        The commenter above is only referring to going to an Australia Post outlet with an ATO payment slip and trying to use the gift card in this deal as a payment method.

        The one issue that the commenter above did not mention is that the ATO does not create payment slips for all ATO debts. For example, the ATO does not generate payment slips for HELP debts.

        • ilovelollies on 25/07/2024 - 15:35

          Many thanks

        • Monkboo82 on 25/07/2024 - 16:28

          Any idea on fees that may be charged at Australia Post using this method? I have only ever made payments online via the AT Portal

            +1

            @Monkboo82: Eftpos payments at AusPost typically don't have fees. I've paid my strata using this method with no fee.

            • lilkid28 on 25/07/2024 - 21:46
              +1

              @VinceNT90: Unless you meet a grumpy staff (usually older) at AusPost and kick up a fuss as if you are stealing their money when they find out you swiped an Eftpos gift card.

    • donman92 on 25/07/2024 - 10:13

      Probs better to just wait for Vanilla cards at this point.

    • donman92 on 25/07/2024 - 10:14

      nah but upside is they can't be hacked

    • littlesoldier on 25/07/2024 - 09:55

      It’s eftpos card so it cannot be added to mobile wallet
      It can only be swipe through eftpos machine

      thanks for confirming!

      I feel managing card balance and carrying additional physical card is such painful, unless I have something to take all balance together

      You should be able to use this one if your council accepts PostBillPay payments and you are willing to go in-person to a post office. Every post office I've tried accepts TCN eftpos cards, although I do try to hide the gift card text on the card in case the operator doesn't like it.

      • ibuprofen on 25/07/2024 - 13:12

        @cyan00FFFF Have you tried paying deft payments with this method too?

        • VinceNT90 on 25/07/2024 - 18:08
          +1

          I've done that successfully to pay my strata - no deft fee.

      • siukwai on 27/07/2024 - 22:46

        is it possible to split the payment if my Rates is over $500?

        • cyan00FFFF on 27/07/2024 - 22:50

          Never tried split payment before, but partial payments are definitely allowed.

          • siukwai on 28/07/2024 - 00:00

            @cyan00FFFF: thanks for the info… so I can do the first payment at $500 and then go again later to pay the balance

      • mameimo on 12/08/2024 - 09:14

        When you’re paying with these at the post office, do you just tap the gift cards to the machine, or do you have to swipe? Thanks

        • WookieMonster on 12/08/2024 - 09:22

          The gift cards in this deal can only be redeemed by physically swiping the card on the EFTPOS terminal. You will need to tell the staff member you want to use eftpos SAV as a payment method (and cross your fingers that the staff member will let you use an eftpos gift card as a payment method).

  • Poor Ass on 25/07/2024 - 09:58

    3.41% profit is not bad especially when you can spend it anywhere EFTPOS is accepted

    • littlesoldier on 25/07/2024 - 10:02

        You'll get a phone call from AMEX once you hit a few thousand dollars worth asking to explain your spending, then your account will be under review while they make a decision whether to close it or not.

  • mameimo on 27/07/2024 - 12:46

    Does Auspost allow you to part pay bills with the eftpos gift cards if the bill was for example $2,000?

    • lilkid28 on 27/07/2024 - 13:03

      Only if your bill allows it.

      Someone tried in April 2024 and it was automatically rejected by the checkout.

      • New Chump on 29/07/2024 - 10:52

        On that basis, is the Category Choice Groceries Gift Card also expected to be rejected by the checkout?

        • WookieMonster on 29/07/2024 - 10:53
          +3

          Yes, because those should use the same BIN when on a mobile wallet, so Woolworths would treat them as the same type of card.

          • ozbargainerlife1 on 29/07/2024 - 16:11

            @WookieMonster: do you have a link to WIKI page where it is all summarised with what you can or can not buy with TCN? Looking to buy apple cards with it next week

            • WookieMonster on 29/07/2024 - 16:56
              +4

              @ozbargainerlife1: The wiki page tracks Woolworths and Coles, but the page is only intended to track prepaid gift cards where the supermarket in question has chosen to block that prepaid gift card when you are trying to purchase some gift cards in their stores. If you do not see a prepaid gift card there (e.g. Pocket Money gift cards), it means no one has reported it being blocked.

              With regards to TCN gift cards at Coles, I have not used that type of prepaid gift card at Coles to purchase gift cards in nearly three years, but I suspect there is nothing in the checkouts to automatically block it as a payment method, as no one has reported this happening (either in deals or directly to me). However, if you have a staff member pick up on what you are doing and they choose to reject your TCN gift card as a payment method, you will have problems.
