    "Bunnings, petrol cash back loophole offers Aussies 'free money' this weekend"

    Loophole… surprised they didn't call it a "hack"

    • Lucille Bluth on 09/08/2024 - 11:08

      And that a busy Kmart mum discovered this hack.

        I'm waiting for Daily Mail to post their article: Bunnings Has Everyone Melting Their Brains Over Insane Fuel Price Hack"

    • KangaDrew on 09/08/2024 - 12:47

      So you're one of those headline-only readers…

      This Sunday, you’ll be able to get the equivalent of over 20c/L off your next tank of fuel. And best of all, this new discount loophole is not just with one chain.
      It’s possible at most petrol stations, and with Dan Murphys and Bunnings. Here’s how this new hack works.

      • bamzero on 09/08/2024 - 12:57

        Haha

        Don't forget this gem.. "it’s a real advancement in the art of money-saving."

    @nocure @WookieMonster

    $5 bonus cashback on $50 gift card seems to apply to the other gift cards in the range too i.e.
    Liquor; Pet & Vet and Tradies & DIY (includes Bunnings).

    Is it $5 bonus cashback per gift card type or $5 bonus cashback per member?

    From the article:

    And other new categories offering the same deal this Sunday include Liquor (hello Dan Murphys or frankly just about any bottle shop you prefer), ‘Pet & Vet’, or ‘Tradies & DIY’ (Bunnings, here I come).

    So yes, this Sunday you can effectively get a 10 per cent discount to stack on top of any other discount in-store at most petrol stations, bottle shops, pet stores, vets, pet insurers and hardware stores.

    they removed the grocery gift card

    • RTY on 09/08/2024 - 15:07

      I left message on online chat and got reply:
      "Thank you for getting in touch with our team, I hope you’re having a great day.
      ​
      Unfortunately, this gift has been sold out this would explain why the link to the gift card has been taken down. We are hoping to restock soon."

  • Gav on 09/08/2024 - 11:13

    "Gift Cards may take up to 72 hours to be delivered" - ouch

  • littlesoldier on 09/08/2024 - 11:17

    Looks like the "Fuel & Auto" giftcard is very similar to 7-Eleven giftcard?
    both giftcards support the similar MCCs (Fuel & Auto support a few more Auto shops, while 7-Eleven support convenient stores)
    both giftcards use https://www.cardbalance.com.au/ to check balance

    • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 11:47

      Yep both are Visa Prepaid gift card. But I wonder if it's easy to split transaction using this as I know that not all servos are happy to do it.

      • littlesoldier on 09/08/2024 - 11:57

        No issues in splitting payment in 7-Eleven and Ampol stations, have not tried on others yet

        • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 12:01

          With their own branded gift card, sure. But have you ever tried with generic gift card like this one?

            @foxes28: It doesnt matter, its just prepaid visa (added to apple pay)
            I just asked for split card payments

            • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 12:05

              @littlesoldier: That's great! Just sharing my experience that some store attendants didn't want to do it until after I showed them that I'm using their gift card.

              • c9 on 09/08/2024 - 13:58

                @foxes28: Just don't go back to those shops. Have not had issues with split payment from prepaid visa

      • WookieMonster on 09/08/2024 - 12:41

        I have done split payments at Shell Coles Express with two 7-Eleven digital gift cards. The attendant had no issues doing this. I do not see why this gift card in this deal would be any different.

        I also once did split payments between four payment cards at EG Ampol.

        7-Eleven seems to be an odd case though, and I am not sure whether it is due to some attendants not being trained properly, or some other reason…

        • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 12:52
          +1

          Yeah that time there were few people behind me so maybe they just wanted to be quick.

        • Poor Ass on 09/08/2024 - 14:25
          +2

          The 7-Eleven is an odd case and I've had the following:

          1. They say cannot split payment… kind of like at HJs usually they can split but sometimes the machine won't let them
          2. Attendant not trained correct
          3. You can split cards but only 3 maximum and after the 2nd card goes through it will prompt a message to them saying payment must be finalised on the next card
          • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 15:07

            @Poor Ass: That one time I had to argue a bit "how am I supposed to use up all the balance of your own gift card?" and finally he made it work

            • Poor Ass on 09/08/2024 - 15:10

              @foxes28: also annoying when you give them the precise amount and they do some rounding and then you have to tell them to do it again

              • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 15:15

                @Poor Ass: Lol I can imagine the grumpy face. I really need to learn how to use the pump with the pre-set $ amount. Last time I tried it didn't work (kept going beyond the limit). Not common in AU but in some countries people actually enter either the $ amount or the L prior to fuelling.

    I wonder if this is issued by ACTIV/BlackHawk Network.
    I'm asking, because I ran into an issue with the Supermarket one by ShopBack (ACTIV/BlackHawk Network).

      Yes, this is the T&Cs from cashrewards https://incentivesgiftcard.com.au/terms-conditions/

      It states Blackhawk Network Australia Pty. Ltd. ACN 123 251 703 (‘Blackhawk’) is Heritage’s program manager for the Card

        • Poor Ass on 09/08/2024 - 12:53

          supermarket one and this one have certain restrictions too

  • AkuroPlays on 09/08/2024 - 11:57

    Does this work at petrol stations?

    • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 12:02
      +1

      It should work for almost all of them as they would be under Service Stations (5541) MCC

      • AkuroPlays on 09/08/2024 - 12:09

        Ok, will purchase when the offer is active :)

        7% off a tank of $50 is a pretty decent deal 👌

        • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 12:10

          12%

    • WookieMonster on 09/08/2024 - 12:39

      This prepaid gift card is supposed to work at any service station categorised as MCC 5541 (Service Stations), as long as the service station chooses to accept this prepaid Visa gift card as a payment method. For example:

      • It should work if you are paying instore for fuel and/or convenience store items. I will note that EG Ampol is very likely to reject this prepaid gift card if you are trying to purchase a gift card, because the prepaid gift card in this deal is almost identical to a 7-Eleven digital gift card (which itself is just a specially-branded Activ Visa gift card), and EG Ampol appears to automatically reject 7-Eleven digital gift cards if you are purchasing a gift card.

      • I am not sure whether this prepaid Visa gift card would work on the various apps you can use to pay for fuel from your vehicle (e.g. BPme, EG Club app, Ampol FuelPay via the Ampol app, etc). Prepaid Visa gift cards do not support 3-D Secure, which makes them a riskier payment method for a merchant to accept through their apps. There is a chance that these apps require 3-D Secure support for any payment cards being used on these platforms… Additionally, I know that the EG Club app in the past has used MCC 5541, but I am not sure what the other apps use as their MCC.

      This prepaid gift card is not supposed to work at MCC 5542 (Automated Fuel Dispensers), as that is explicitly listed in the gift card terms and conditions as an excluded MCC. This MCC is used for pay-at-the-pump machines (e.g. Costco, unattended Ampol service stations, unattended United service stations). However, I guess there is no harm in trying…

  • munishsinghal on 09/08/2024 - 12:42

    can anyone pls share the list of fuel station, where it can be used?

    • littlesoldier on 09/08/2024 - 12:52

      any fuel stations with the merchant eftpos category as MCC 5541 (Service Stations)
      basically it should work with all fuel station
      but might not work in some individual stations and specific stores (eg. Costco fuel station?)

      • munishsinghal on 09/08/2024 - 13:09

        and is there any webpage showing all with merchant eftpos category as MCC 5541? or it can be only either call or visit merchant?

        • littlesoldier on 09/08/2024 - 13:11

          wont cover all stores in australia, but some major ones reported by ozb community
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/mcc_list

          otherwise, you may do a purchase with a credit card
          then ask the bank resp the MCC code of that transaction

        • foxes28 on 09/08/2024 - 13:19

          Don't go to Medco or U-Go as there have been cases (myself included) where another similar card didn't work. If you stick with the major brand, then you'll be fine.

          • rokufan on 09/08/2024 - 15:02

            @foxes28: 7-Eleven gift card didn't work for me at U-Go.

      @munishsinghal Here is the list for 7-Eleven gift card which is similar for the service stations:

      Has worked in Costco in March according to the list but it shouldn't.

  • cooni on 09/08/2024 - 13:36

    Wish Blackhawk would fix their sh*t. I'm still in Blackhawk jail.

    • Poor Ass on 09/08/2024 - 14:21

      I've been there any no way for them to fix they just always say there doesn't seem to be anything wrong on our end

      So what you need to do is contact them and ask them to change your profile to another email address. Once that's done you can see your old profile again by using the new email

  • Iwantthatbargain on 09/08/2024 - 13:52

    will this work for EV charging ?

    • trixieb on 09/08/2024 - 13:59

      Probably not as electric vehicle charging services use MCC 5552 which is not listed.

      • Mortin on 09/08/2024 - 14:10

        Can you pay at the counter?

    • Poor Ass on 09/08/2024 - 14:21

      curious to know the MCC for EV charging or would it also be 5541 or whatever on the app

  • kdmeir on 09/08/2024 - 15:26

    Hopefully shopback will up the ante
