    Putting aside the bonus points, I cannot for the life of me think of a legitimate reason for these products to exist. Just put 5 pineapples in a greeting card like the old days.

      Always get it for my ato.

      • Jinster on 28/08/2024 - 20:48

        At max $250 each, some will literally need hundreds if not thousands of these for ATO. Will be scratching the pin windows til fingers bleed LOL

      Some people like to use them on dodgy porn sites where you don't want to use your actual credit card for various reasons.

  • RichardF89 on 28/08/2024 - 17:18

    4000 points is roughly $20 so 1-($250+$7)/($250+$20)=4.8% off

    • belesci on 28/08/2024 - 17:23
      +1

      4250 points

      • Neoika on 28/08/2024 - 17:25
        +2

        4257 points per card.

      • xyron on 28/08/2024 - 17:26
        +3

        so closer to 5.2% off then (assuming you would ordinarily shop at coles to both get to the next 2000 point interval and redeem $10 off a shop at coles).

    • Jinster on 28/08/2024 - 17:33
      +10

      I think the correct math is:

      1-(250+7-20)/250=0.052=5.2% off

      Not counting the "usual" FB points you would've gotten and not counting the credit card points you would've gotten: the "usual" FB points are probably similar to what you would've gotten by spending a "normal" point-earn Mastercard later instead of this prepaid no-point card; the usual credit card points for shopping at Coles is unpredictable depending on the card you usually use.

      So around $12 gain per $250 card you can find. Max find is 5. So max gain is $60. Time spent = buy the card + luck of having 5 $250 cards + activate each card + track them later to use each one = result: you gotta be pretty time rich and job poor to do this.

        Not when some people have many flybuy accounts. A few users on here come to mind.

          eastern culture has 27 flybuys accounts I heard yes

      • dahax77 on 28/08/2024 - 19:48

        it definitely won't - people will just be greedy as always and stock up using multiple accounts.

  • Frozensage on 28/08/2024 - 17:28

    still rather the actual 10% off then having to use the points

    • abs898 on 28/08/2024 - 17:33

      Points are great for flying

    • HomeAlone on 28/08/2024 - 17:43

      I think it's more like ~5%

    • cobknob on 28/08/2024 - 20:47
      -1

      Give you a plus. Simply cause it use to be 10% off with a 7$ card fee. They're getting dodgy here, instead giving only 20$ and the fee is still 7$ but instead of ending up with 18$ extra dollars will only get 13$ - coles you profiteering little f**ks!!

  • Aerith-Waifu on 28/08/2024 - 17:35

    So only 5 cards per promo periods? not per day like last few times?

    • WookieMonster on 28/08/2024 - 17:44

      This is a bonus points deal, not an upfront discount deal.

      • Aerith-Waifu on 28/08/2024 - 20:33

        Ok thanks, so essentially the best we can get is 20000 points per flybuy member? correct?

        • WookieMonster on 28/08/2024 - 22:09
          +2

          The best you can get is 20,000 bonus Flybuys points per Flybuys account during this deal. You will still earn 1x Flybuys point per $1 you spend on these gift cards during this deal.

          Remember that if you have two or more Flybuys cardholders tied to the same Flybuys account, the two or more cardholders can only earn a maximum of 20,000 bonus Flybuys points between them through this deal.

    • bravemeow on 28/08/2024 - 17:45

      Coles always does 5 per period. I think wws does 5 per day

    Good try Coles . But no I will hodl until 10% off

    • Neoika on 28/08/2024 - 17:47

      Yes, it is getting closer to annual 10% off Vanilla VISA in VIC, TAS.

      • abs898 on 28/08/2024 - 18:00

        Vanilla doesn't even work at half the online places, at least this works everywhere

        +1

        NSW and ACT too https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/vanilla%20visa

        But they aren't as useful as the Mastercards (e.g. can no longer add to PayPal). Last 10% off the Mastercards (in store) seems to have been over a year ago, since then there's just been a couple of online only 10% off deals.

  • SydBoy on 28/08/2024 - 17:47

    Be careful as their balance check website doesn't work so keep records of how much you spent.

  • chiesel21 on 28/08/2024 - 17:52

    If you have, coles CC and coles plus it will net you 5028 flybuys point for each $250. Good stuff

  • FatGPT on 28/08/2024 - 18:03

    So how does it work using these with ATO… can you pay off your ATO bill using multiple cards?

    • Slo20 on 28/08/2024 - 18:11
      +3

      Yes. Just pay with credit card. Enter $249.50 (as there is a 0.2% fee). Pay. Then repeat as many times as needed. There is a limit to how many credit card payments you can do per day though.

      • FatGPT on 28/08/2024 - 18:49

        Too easy! Thank you for the details

      • whytd on 28/08/2024 - 19:19

        5 per day through ATO & 5 through https://www.governmenteasypay.gov.au/payato

        • t25 on 28/08/2024 - 23:34

          Won't be an issue unless you have 14 flybuys accounts, and manage to find stock every day.

        When you try last?

        • MiscOzB on 28/08/2024 - 21:59

          How long have you had them added to your PayPal wallet? Going back a while now there were reports of no longer being able to add new Vanilla VISA cards to wallet, but I could still use mine that I had already added previously.

          • Poor Ass on 29/08/2024 - 00:08

            @MiscOzB: yeah I heard those rumors but brush them off

    From past experience, buying these and scanning your flybuys card will screw up the good value offers (like spending $50 over 4 weeks to get 10,000 points).

    • MiscOzB on 28/08/2024 - 18:25

      There actually is currently an issue with it, I get "A system error has occurred. Please try again later." when I try to check the balance of one my $100 cards. Definitely inputting correct card details.

      • Wadiyatalkinabowt on 28/08/2024 - 18:29

        Chrome incognito sometimes solves it. This site works for me in standard Edge and Chrome, whereas the address they provide with the cards rarely works anywhere.

    Besides the marginal net return, is there something to these I’m missing? Is it only good for getting CC points on ATO bills otherwise prohibitive to pay with a points earning card? What’s the pitch?

    • nightelves on 28/08/2024 - 18:50

      For all bills and anything else that uses mastercard.

    • littlesoldier on 28/08/2024 - 18:51

      a dollar is a dollar
      ~5% discount on a card that can be spent in most places online are pretty good these days
      one good use case for me is to pay my annual council rate
      at least I can earn credit card points (when purchasing the cards)
      and save 5% on council rate

      • Poor Ass on 28/08/2024 - 20:54

        Does your rates have surcharge for payment?

        • littlesoldier on 28/08/2024 - 20:55

      You should be able to use Coles Mastercard gift cards to pay for most gift cards sold in-store at Woolworths.

      However, the previous commenter neglected to tell you:

      • If you try to use Coles Mastercard gift cards as a payment method for some gift cards in-store at Woolworths, the checkout should automatically reject the card and display an Items Not Allowed error on the EFTPOS terminal. For example, this person found a few months ago that they triggered this error if they tried to use a Coles Mastercard gift card to pay for a TCN eftpos gift card. Have a look at this table if you want to read more about this.

      • If a staff member notices you trying to use a Coles Mastercard gift card as a payment method for a gift card, they may intervene and tell you that is not allowed.

  • bravemeow on 28/08/2024 - 22:22

    Kindly ask if we could use ShopBack supermarket card to purchase these prepaid cards from Coles and WWS?

    From memory, I saw comments say positive.

    • littlesoldier on 28/08/2024 - 22:28

      Coles does not support split payment on giftcard purchase
      so even you can use ShopBack supermarket it has to be the $300 one

      WWS from memory blocked using unrestricted giftcard (eg. TCN eftpos, Vanilla visa/master) to purchase unrestricted giftcard
      ShopBack supermarket is rebrand of ACTIV category prepaid visa (restricted MCC), not sure whether it works or not though

  • karmics on 28/08/2024 - 22:28

    Anyone know if you can use this to pay credit card bill at Australia Post?

    Would cop the extra $2.25 fee to earn extra velocity points on my credit card bill.

    • WookieMonster on 28/08/2024 - 23:11
      +1

      I think you will run into problems.

      I tried to use a Coles Mastercard gift card in-person at Australia Post about a month ago to pay for my car rego. I swiped the gift card, chose Credit and entered the correct PIN, but the card was declined with error code 12 (Invalid Transaction), even though I had sufficient balance. The same gift card worked in-person at another merchant about 15 minutes later. Error code 12 hints at the gift card issuer choosing to reject the transaction. When I contacted the gift card services team, the rep said they could see the declined transaction, but did not explain why my transaction was declined (even when I asked).

      A couple of other people earlier this month also reported the same issue for in-person payments at Australia Post.

      Even if Coles Mastercard gift cards did not have Australia Post blocked as a merchant, the next issue is whether you could actually use a Mastercard to pay for the credit card bill in the first place, because I thought using a credit network (e.g. Mastercard) to pay off a credit card bill was a big no-no. The only payment network supported on a Coles Mastercard gift card is the Mastercard network, and Post Billpay billers do not have to accept Visa or Mastercard as payment methods. The ATO is an example of a biller that does not accept Visa nor Mastercard when you make a payment to the ATO in-person at Australia Post.

      • TanedaR on 29/08/2024 - 00:02

        Did you try paying your rego by Paypal on Australia Post app?

        • WookieMonster on 29/08/2024 - 00:09
          +1

          No, because I used a TCN eftpos gift card and two Activ Visa gift cards instead to complete the payment in-store at Australia Post.

          Someone else told me they were able to pay for their council rates on the Australia Post website directly using a Coles Mastercard gift card in early August, so using PayPal on the Australia Post app should have worked for me too… except for the fact that I would have ended up doing a partial rego payment, which was an administrative nightmare to sort out when I accidentally did that for last year's rego renewal.
