          Why would you want to though. You still only get the bonus points for the first 5.

          • ilovefullprice on 04/09/2024 - 18:59

            @Slo20: Yeah you’re right, they can do that. Too risky to attempt this.

  • RTY on 04/09/2024 - 18:43

    It doesnt work with City of Melbourne council rates website? I tried $249.18 and $245, neither worked.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    • RTY on 04/09/2024 - 19:00

      Also declined at ATO. I was able to check balance and it's still $250 available.

      • yht on 04/09/2024 - 19:10

        Paid hecs debt with the 5 cards and worked fine, around 2 hours ago

        • Shekster on 04/09/2024 - 20:04

          Out of curiosity what did you put as the cardholder name when trying to pay using the gift card?

    • RTY on 04/09/2024 - 19:08

      3/5 worked at deft, tried paying city of melbourne and ato with 3rd card and both worked; 4th and 5th didnt work at these websites but I can check balance. so weird.

    • RTY on 05/09/2024 - 08:46

      Update: all went through today

    • detlef7 on 08/09/2024 - 23:14

      How did you get your City of Melb issue resolved? Did you try again with a different card?

      I got a 'do not honour' error when paying online. The online balance says the transaction was declined but the full balance is still available.

      • CodeXD on 08/09/2024 - 23:16

        I got a 'do not honour' when trying to pay my council rates and googled the error. If you can see it on the online balance it means either exp date or CVC was entered incorrectly.

        I re-entered all card details and it went through successfully.

      • RTY on 09/09/2024 - 10:44

        Try the next day

        • detlef7 on 09/09/2024 - 14:54

          Huzzah! That worked! I only bought the card last night and tried using it within a couple of hours but it kept being declined. Thx!

  • cpkcpk on 04/09/2024 - 19:11

    Q and advice please…I was trying to pay the ATO this evening with the Coles $250 MC. After a few successful payments, one card payment to ATO was declined. Went to check the balance of the card and was shocked to find it was only 0.50c. Fearing I was scammed, I listened to the recent transactions to find out a payment of $249.50 to ATO was pending, hence the $0.50 balance. Given the payment to ATO was declined, would the $249.50 automatically be added back to the MC in a day or 2? Advice please

    • ilovefood12345 on 04/09/2024 - 21:00

      Do you think you card may have been accepted even though it said declined?

      • cpkcpk on 04/09/2024 - 21:43

        No because the payment surcharge of $0.50 was not debited, hence why there is $0.50 balance on the Coles MC.

    • denxhh on 04/09/2024 - 21:25

      For the Coles $250 MC, my transaction was also declined on the first attempt to pay ATO. Normally can get 4 before things stop. At the card issuer's end, it must be a busy night for the security algorithm, with everyone trying these payments.

  • lakes_8 on 04/09/2024 - 21:20

    Won't this ruin my spend $50 for 4 week spend in the future?

    • RichardF89 on 05/09/2024 - 10:44

      I bought the 10% off deal last year and I don't have any other deal for about 6 month. So now I have a daily spend flybuy card and a flybuy card only use when I have a good offer

      I would expect the pending transaction to disappear from your card within a couple of business days.

      FYI, I just made a $249.50 payment (+ $0.50 fee) to the ATO from a $250 Coles Mastercard gift card (and it is the first payment I made to the ATO today). I am not sure what would have caused payment to be declined in your case.

      • truetypezk on 05/09/2024 - 20:37

        I feel Incomm has been randomly declining certain types of "questionable" transactions lately. Not 100% but they might have a dynamic model to adjust the decline rate.

        If you go to the transaction records, you will see that they all show up as "declined", so it is probably not the merchant's call to reject the transaction based on their risk model.

        That's surprising to know!

      • BTSARMY on 06/09/2024 - 07:38

        Do they usually restock at night for the following morning?

        • wavesgreen on 06/09/2024 - 07:45

          From what I've seen gift cards seem to fall under the purview of the checkouts and service staff, might vary from store to store of course. But those folks seem not to really have a lot of spare time on their hands and just do things whenever they can.

          My local store had stock on the weekend before the promotion, then zero $250 cards on Tuesday afternoon when I went in.

          First day of the promotion (Wednesday) I went in when the store opened and there were 10 $250 on the shelf. When I swung by after work, 0.

          Thursday was a repeat, fresh restock of 10 (much longer expiry date) at store open, 0 by the afternoon.

          • BTSARMY on 06/09/2024 - 08:08

            @wavesgreen: Oh ic, so that could be because they restocked it each morning at the opening time.

            • wavesgreen on 06/09/2024 - 08:37

              @BTSARMY: My personal feeling although I have no proof of this, is that customers bring the empty shelf to the attention of staff during the busy post-work period when people with money* want to buy gift cards.

              So the staff go fill it afterwards when they have a second.

              *Not just us OzB grots

        • WookieMonster on 06/09/2024 - 10:30

          It depends on the store you go to and the staff’s approach to restocking gift cards.

          For example, during this deal, I went to a Coles store on Wednesday morning just after opening and there were no $250s on the gift card shelf. When I went back about 90 minutes later, a staff member was hanging up $250s on the shelf.

          During a previous Coles Mastercard gift card deal at the same store, I was at the store around 10am on a Sunday and the store manager was hanging up $250s.

  • day87end on 05/09/2024 - 17:02

      Nothing yet. That’s one thing that always annoyed me with flybuys is the delay for the activity to show. Always makes me think it didn’t scan my flybuys.

      • Frozensage on 05/09/2024 - 17:43

        My receipt shows my existing points balance which means definitely it registered. Still haven’t got the points yet.

    • RichardF89 on 05/09/2024 - 19:02

      they didn't mention this in the t&c

      • day87end on 05/09/2024 - 19:32

        Standard Flybuys terms and conditions apply and are available at Flybuys.com.au.

        might me one of many rules we never bothered reading.

        • wavesgreen on 05/09/2024 - 19:53

          Had a look. Flybuys say Participant (ie partner organisations) promotions have their own T&C that apply and can be found on the Participant section of the flybuys website. Can't see any Coles MasterCard Gift Card promotion anywhere. The Coles section just says within 24hrs of purchase but it is clearly under the '1 point per $1' section.

        • clover on 05/09/2024 - 19:55

          Hmm.. Why not just give the points at the same time? What's the delay for? I still only have the base points

      • Cataclysm on 05/09/2024 - 21:39

  • wavesgreen on 05/09/2024 - 19:32

    For the person who mentioned earlier in the thread that there was an oversupply of $250 cards and that's why this promotion is for the $250 card only… not quite.

    I spoke to my friendly local Coles staff member who I always got to at the service counter to buy my cards during these promotions (double dipping with ShopBack Supermarket Activ Visa so need to do split payment) and she showed me the corporate email.

    There's actually an undersupply of the $100 cards so the promotion was changed to just be for the $250 cards only.

    Originally this promotion was:

    2000 bonus flybuys points for $100 Coles MasterCard Gift Card and 4000 bonus flybuys points for $250 Coles MasterCard Gift Card.

    Promotional material was sent to stores for the original promotion and the email was instructing staff to pull down any on display and destroy it. New material to be sent out and displayed for the $250 card promotion.

    • day87end on 05/09/2024 - 19:51

      by the time they put promo card there willbe none on shelves

      • wavesgreen on 05/09/2024 - 19:55

        Mine were printing out little posters on brightly coloured A4 sheets of paper lol

    • WookieMonster on 05/09/2024 - 23:34
      +2

      An undersupply of $100 denominations makes sense, considering there have been six 2,000 bonus points deals since the last deal where the $250 denomination was the most desirable option for most people. I swear I have been the only person buying the $250 denomination during the 2,000 bonus points deals!

      I originally suspected one the reasons this deal was being run was to allow stores to sell stock of $250 denominations that are getting close to the three year expiry mark (and those most likely would need to be binned if not sold soon).

      I also find it a little amusing that Coles would partially pull a promotion where there has been an undersupply of gift cards, because allegedly Woolworths does not appear to do the same. Allegedly.

      • wavesgreen on 05/09/2024 - 23:46
        +2

        The wording in the email was something to the effect of "in order to avoid disappointing customers who may not be able to find $100 gift cards during the promotion, the following change has been made…"

      • wavesgreen on 06/09/2024 - 07:50
        +1

        sell stock of $250 denominations that are getting close to the three year expiry mark

        Can confirm that all the stock on the shelf at my local store on day one of the promotion were perilously close to the three year mark.

        Day two restock were all well into the future.

  • yht on 05/09/2024 - 19:38
