Hello all, I've bought a $30 Village Cinemas gift card on Shop Back, Gift card arrived - no issues.

And I'm trying to book tickets at Village Cinemas website using gift card and remaining payment would like to pay with credit card (Total tickets cost $49).

But at payment step when I enter gift card number/PIN and click submit then it says, "Insufficient Balance Insufficient balance on the Gift card".

Anyone else has same issues?

I used to pay like these many times in the past :(

Thanks

Edit**** Sorry I've updated my message because earlier it was not clear where I was using gift card.

    Have you checked the balance on your gift card, using your online account (Village rewards)?
    How long ago did you purchase the gift card from Shopback?

      Checked balance - it says some error occurred. Reached out to Shopback/Village cinemas support.

        They should be able to resolve the error or reissue the gift card.

    Should work in person. These sort of cards are pain to use and often not worth the hassle for such a small saving.

      That's how they get you

      Only buy ticket, not gift card.

      Feels like it's been forever since this acronym was used.

        I'm out of the loop 😭

        There used to be this fella Muzeeb that used to alert me when the power of ADAGCHS was required.

          That makes sense. Cheers

    There's no need to apologise for updating your message, it's all good!

    Did u just buy it today? On the shopback page it says to please allow 24 hours for the gift card to be active

    • MS Paint on 02/10/2024 - 20:41

      I'm guessing this is the answer. FFS

    I am having the same issue with gift card purchased from Redeem my Giftcard. I am guessing it's the 24 hour activation issue as one of you have suggested, because I have encountered an error when checking for balance on the Village website.

    can i check if the cards were activated after 24 hrs? just bought some as well from Shopback and did not read the terms properly!

      Yes some wait time
