      Vanilla VISA don't (can no longer add to wallet), these still do (added and used a $100 card earlier this month).

      • Poor Ass on 28/08/2024 - 20:07

        Vanilla visa worked for me on PP last week

        But only 2 transactions max a day via PP

        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

            last week added vanilla visa to PP and then bought 2 woolies gc on separate transactions… third one fails

            but next day it will work again

      any perks besides from paying later?

      • rmsprs on 30/08/2024 - 11:18

        They targeted me with the recent offer "spend $500 in 30 days and receive $50". I haven't used much BNPL in the past, except for when Afterpay has bonuses sometimes.

        • Poor Ass on 30/08/2024 - 11:37

    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).

    Unless you have heaps of burner flybuys cards.

    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

          i just pay directly in council website, no card surcharge

          • Poor Ass on 28/08/2024 - 20:56

            @littlesoldier: That's good. There is surcharge where I'm at but I did hear Vic and Tas no surcharge

        You're not saving 5% on council rates, you're in effect saving 5% at coles - cause you get flybuys.

    • trotsky on 31/08/2024 - 00:09

      I wouldn't agree that it is marginal. 4000 pts is $20 cash for $7. Do that 5 times and you get $65 per account. I'll do it across 2 accounts so that's $130, but then I'll convert to VFF and use it to book a flight worth more than that. Each to their own but it works out for me.

      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

        Coles does not support split payment on giftcard purchase

        You can do split payment at the front counter at least (which is what I had to start doing as self serve wasn't allowing it). Also can confirm the SB Supermarket cards can be used to pay for these. @bravemeow

      • trixieb on 29/08/2024 - 01:57
        +2

        @littlesoldier You can split the payment at the serviced front counter. I've encountered inexperienced staff who didn't know how to split the payment and had to ask a colleague. I also had a supervisor who refused to do split payments. I think he reads OzB. He made up a rule that they are not allowed to split the payment for gift card purchases. He is there often so I either avoid him or the store.

      • Yola on 29/08/2024 - 04:36

        I have often done split payments with the SB Supermarket card at manned checkouts.

    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
      +2

      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.

      • AsukaST 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.

            +1

            @WookieMonster: Thanks for the detailed reply. It's a shame because holding funds on these for an extended period is a bit risky; otherwise I would just use it for everyday purchases.

    • slackme on 29/08/2024 - 10:53

      You can never pay credit card bills with any credit cards. If it is allowed you can use two credit cards pay each other never pay interest.

    • trotsky on 31/08/2024 - 00:16

      Aus post have some odd types working for them, I had someone who saw that I was using a gift card recently and went off at me. Technically there was not an issue since I had used other cards to part-pay the bill I was paying but when she saw the card front she made a big song and dance about it because gift cards are for (quoted for truth) "buying things". YMMV.

    • tim_geo on 31/08/2024 - 00:35

      Some billers disallow credit card payments at AusPost and PostBillPay.

      VIC Roads is one of them.
      I imagine most credit card bills also - EFTPOS / cash should be ok though.

  • domo653q on 28/08/2024 - 23:04

    • Poor Ass on 29/08/2024 - 09:20

      I've been down this road and the only way you can use multiple cards to pay your premium is over the phone… not the automatic phone payment but actually over the phone with a staff assisting.

      You can do as many cards as you want but you need to tell the operator I have x cards and will be paying $x on each card. They will ask how much paying on the 1st and then you enter the card number, expiries and cvv… and then they will proceed to the 2nd card and so on

      Unfortunately if you pay online or at Australia post there is no way to modify or split the fixed amount you have to pay. If your premium is $250 or under which would be cheap, then you can pay which ever way in one hit

      I highly doubt it.

      During the previous deal, I tried doing that, but as soon as I swiped the Flybuys card, the EFTPOS terminal displayed an Invalid Product Mix error and the checkout screen displayed a message saying I could not use that payment method for the items I was trying to purchase.

      The Flybuys Dollars terms and conditions state you cannot use them as a payment method for gift cards, so it should be of no surprise that I triggered that error message.

    Can I use the vanilla Visa cards that I purchase from Woolworths with the 10x rewards points to buy these? as it is a Visa card buying a Mastercard and also Woolies against Coles.

    • WookieMonster on 29/08/2024 - 12:12

      I doubt it.

      • Coles’ checkouts cannot tell the difference between a Vanilla Visa gift card purchased from Woolworths a Vanilla Visa gift card purchased from Coles when they are being used as payment methods.

      • I tried using a Vanilla Visa gift card purchased from Coles as a payment method for a Coles Mastercard gift card in October 2022, but the Coles checkout displayed an Invalid Product Mix error as soon as I swiped the card.

      • Even if it somehow no longer triggers an error, the next issue is that you need to provide a signature if you are looking to spend more than ~$35 in one payment, because Vanilla Visa gift cards cannot support PIN verification. If the staff member looking after the checkout knows Coles’ signature verification process and follows correctly, you would need to provide a signature. The issue is that the Vanilla Visa gift cards sold at Woolworths have no signature panel to compare the signature on the cards with the signature you provided, so who knows what the staff would do in this situation.

    • CodeXD on 29/08/2024 - 14:57

      You need to convert flybuys points into flybuys dollars on the app or website.

      Then in store, use your physical flybuys card and swipe during payment.

    • WookieMonster on 29/08/2024 - 15:04
      +1

      Flybuys has a feature where you can redeem 2000 Flybuys points for an instant $10 discount at Coles, First Choice Liquor or Liquorland. You need to make sure this feature is switched on for your account (and I think it is by default); you can check this in the Flybuys app or the Flybuys website.

      This instant $10 discount does not appear when you are purchasing gift cards or tobacco.

      • Yola on 30/08/2024 - 04:43

        Yes, it is the default setting. Are you saying that if you use the instant $10 you do not need to do the conversion? That is my understanding but I want to confirm.

        • WookieMonster on 30/08/2024 - 09:18
          +1

          It means you have more options.

          The instant $10 discount can only be claimed once a day and at a limited number of Flybuys businesses, so if you want to claim more than $10 in a day from Flybuys in-store, you can still redeem Flybuys points for Flybuys Dollars, then redeem Flybuys Dollars in-store.

          I also see Flypay has been resurrected, but I have not spent the time yet to figure out how the new Flypay differs from the old Flypay (and how Flybuys points redemptions worth with Flypay).

            @WookieMonster: Thank you. I would be interested in how the new Flypay works too. I think previously you had to convert. I am interested because I have an account with $500 worth of points and lost access to the mobile number. I am happy to have the instant redemptions at least.

        Maybe more than a nerve 😆. Care to clarify what the hell is nz cheese

          Just saying OPs name in a different way 😄. Happens a lot over on Cheapies.

          I think some members are upset by the fact that OP posts these offers before they’re able to.

    Does anyone know if i can purchase 5 cards in one transaction. Will that give me 20000 point? Or needs to be separate transactions. Terms and Conditions doesn't mention this.

      In past deals like this, I have purchased up to 5 cards in one transaction and received points. Maybe others can confirm also.

    Is this an offer we need to activate?
