Dick Smith is currently offering a free $50 gift card for every $500 gift card purchased online (maximum of 5 in one order). Delivery was showing a flat $9.95 despite the "sitewide free delivery this weekend only" banner, but now appears to be removed, making it a blanket 9.09% off. If this deal is still valid when the free shipping offer ends, the savings will be as listed below:

Cards Spend % Off
1 509.95 7.28
2 1009.95 8.19
3 1509.95 8.48
4 2009.95 8.64
5 2509.95 8.73

I believe these gift cards can be used at any of the stores where you can use a Wish gift card despite being the Dick Smith labelling, however I last tried this some months ago, so it may have changed since then, if someone could confirm in the comments that would be great :)

Also note that I was able to get all the way to the confirm payment page using a Wish gift card I had already, so you can currently stack this discount on top of your discounted Wish gift cards too(!)

    Not a bad find! Can't believe they are charging $10 to deliver a card though.

    FYI AFAIK if a company goes into liquidation the liquidator may not honour gift vouchers.

      I thought they sold to Anchorage Capital.

      But for that discount not worth to get it from them.

      WoW customers lost out, I know that for sure when they went under.

      But I dont think Dick Smith is going under… they've been bought out to someone.
      Mind you, still a riskier proposition if you arent planning on buying something big at the store straight away.

  • Ghogger on 01/12/2012 - 10:29

    The gift card stacking would make this an excellent deal!
    Is Dick Smith still owned by woolworths though? I thought it changed hands?

    Only the Dick Smith section says it accepts Dick Smith gift cards.

    • kabigon on 01/12/2012 - 10:37

      You won't find official confirmation e.g. there are comments in the Groupon Caltex/Woolworths deal saying they had no problems using it at other stores despite the card implying it can only be used at servos. Just wanted to confirm that's still the case before people buy $500 cards only to find they can only be used at the one place.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2012 - 10:48

        I was assured when I returned something and offered a DS gift card it was good at any woolworths group store. But if they're no longer owned by Woolworths they might eventually stop being accepted by wish gift cards so unless you intend spending it all at DS you might not be able to use it at other Woolworths stores.

        • kabigon on 01/12/2012 - 10:53

          Yep maybe these cards are different I can't say, thus my warning in the op to not jump the gun if you don't plan to use it all at DSE until we know more :)

  • wtfnodeal on 01/12/2012 - 10:43

    Imagine DSE staff get 5% off now and another 5% off when they use the gift cards to buy physical goods again later. Just keep on stacking the 5% discounts…

    • rekabkram on 01/12/2012 - 11:02

      I didn't think you could get employee discounts on gift cards to combat this?

      But if possible they would get a hell of a good deal (especially when they "forget" stock out the back).

        as a woolworths employee i purchased 2x500 cards with my discount card. So I am able to purchase $1158 worth of goods for $950. Now to wait for a good laptop bargain

        • 4thchicken on 01/12/2012 - 16:15

          its dicksmith - you go in a negotiate a bargain - ie easily go in and get 10% of a mac laptop which would stack your other discounts (and hopefully you paid for your cards of CC so you got points!)

        • wtfnodeal on 02/12/2012 - 01:21

          if you get the gift cards before the deal ends, better to use the gift cards to buy more gift cards again to stack the 5% once more.

  • jlwjlg on 01/12/2012 - 11:15

    sitewide free delivery over weekend

  • couger on 01/12/2012 - 12:26

    I can confirm it is free shipping, when you enter your payment details, the delivery fee will be removed.

    • couger on 01/12/2012 - 12:34

      bought one, when I plan to buy second, the product page had a JSP error, looks like been ozbargained.

  • Yabadabadoo on 01/12/2012 - 14:43

    OMG best ever ! If you have a staff discount card it gives you an extra 5% off !!! so 5% buying card and anther 5% when using card :) with this offer and the credit card points this is over 20% off !!!! and i used some card i got 5% off so over 25% off. Thats like 35c off fuel ! wowho !

    • Splashtash on 01/12/2012 - 15:25

      So its close to 25% off but not 25% …. its actually 22.6% off all up. sounds decent

  • ozblogger on 01/12/2012 - 15:54

    any idea on the expiry date of these DSE cards ??

    • couger on 01/12/2012 - 19:00

      wish card is 12months, I think they are same too.

    Anyone know when this deal expired?

    • Holysmoke on 02/12/2012 - 17:50

      Its not.

    • powergirl on 02/12/2012 - 17:53

      Sorry, I meant to ask when will the deal expire?

  • Herbert on 01/12/2012 - 21:26

    I think this is an amazing deal, even better than the Westfield giftcard Click frenzy offer.

      Dang you're stingy with the actual votes though, one positive in 1.5 years.. ;)

  • coolsteps on 02/12/2012 - 11:26

    can you get edr points online? not on gift card purchases i guess? never mind i found the answer . they dont accept edr since sept. what about westfield gift cards can you use them online? seems not online but i wonder if in store it works?.

  • samehada on 02/12/2012 - 19:57

    You can go to Woolies and buy Wish Gift card using your ING PayWave, this way you can take advantage of this weekend free shipping promo :)

  • coolsteps on 03/12/2012 - 14:19

    buying a Wish Gift card using your ING PayWave is a good idea. they now have free shipping on spends over $100 . so can you still get the free $50 bonus card and free shipping? when does it end? can you buy wish cards with this $500 dse card?

  • fomal on 03/12/2012 - 15:13

    Hi Guys,

    just wonder if the gift card could be used for apple product such as iphone 5?

  • narbe on 03/12/2012 - 19:47

    wow, this is great that I saw this, managed to bargain 10% more off my TV from dickies.

    Didn't even need to match the cards.

    • wtfnodeal on 03/12/2012 - 19:58

      I was told by my local DSE staff that it is now not one of the Woolie group therefore don't assume DSE gift cards are accepted anywhere else.

  • coolsteps on 03/12/2012 - 21:50

    as soon as i receive it i plan to buy a wish card with it thus i hope its possible. dam some woolies staff tried to give me a hard time today saying i couldn't use my Westfield card to buy a wish card. I had to complaint to the manager as i said it wasn't a problem with the pos its just staff making their own rules since i had brought some stuff just earlier with my Westfield card with out a problem.

  • coolsteps on 04/12/2012 - 18:11

    has anyone got their card yet and can confirm if it works in woolies? also did anyone have to send in id verification/??

  • Yabadabadoo on 06/12/2012 - 10:57

    called them today, they said they have a large back log of gift card orders (due to being ozbargained) but should ship all gift card orders today.

      • snvl on 06/12/2012 - 15:00

        yes, I got the same answer yesterday. but just received an invoice. I am hopping to receive it tomorrow.

        • Holysmoke on 06/12/2012 - 15:04

          is it delivered through aus post or couriered direct to door?

        • snvl on 06/12/2012 - 15:07

          Startrack last time I ordered something from them.

  • coolsteps on 07/12/2012 - 18:56

    got mine today off to woolies on the weekend

    • Fancy on 08/12/2012 - 00:55

      I don't think you can use at woolies

      • snvl on 08/12/2012 - 16:35
