    Beat me to posting the deal by a few seconds!

      Sorry! I don't normally bother but I was surprised that no one posted this one at 5pm on the dot.

  • Anyone know if these can be used for international transactions?

    • +1

      Per the cardholder agreement:

      2.5% of the transaction value applies when you make a transaction on your Card in a currency other than Australian dollars (AUD) or you make a transaction on your Card in any currency (including AUD) that is processed by a card scheme or billed by the merchant outside of Australia

    Damn bought one yesterday!

    Another way to look at it is it 3.41% discount for $500 gc?

    • +3

      A 3.41% discount isn't worth the effort IMO

      • Yes and no! Worth every Qantas point. Also helped save a lot of transaction cost. Eg DEFT 1.4% vs 0.4 on prepaid cards.

        Also ATO, usually you can't get any rewards on govt transactions.

        Different use case, worth for some, effort for others.

    • +1

      Can also do split payments (under $100) with HSBC card for an extra 2%.

    • Hi - newbie question here - what do you mean by 3.41% discount? Where/what is this a discount on?

      • The rewards points based on a $500 load costs $507.95 but gives you spending power of $525. Therefore the cost per dollar value would be (507.95/525)*100. I get an overall discount of 3.2476%

  • ATO?

    Edit: Looks like yes

    • Yes but be aware card payment fee applies for credit card payments.
      https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/paying-the-a…

      • +3

        They are considered debit Mastercard and attract 0.2% fees. So, you will pay $1 as a fee for every $499 payment.

        • You can then use the fee as a tax deduction 😁

    • Does the ATO website allow payment with 2 different cards ie gift card and balance with credit card?

      • +10

        The ATO website via myGov allows you to redeem a maximum of 5 payment cards every 12 hours, and you can do part-payments of any amount (starting from $1 + $0.01 payment processing fee). (You can redeem an additional 5 payment cards every 12 hours through Government EastPay.)

        For example, if you need to pay $3,300 in taxes, you can redeem up to 5x $500 Vanilla Mastercard gift cards via myGov (making $499 payments from each gift card), then you can go to Government EasyPay and pay the remaining $805 owed.

          Thanks WookieMonster

          Thank you for this! Considering this for ATO payments

    @VantageXL - is it from tomorrow or from 9th Oct per T&C

    • +1

      It starts on Wednesday 9 October.

    • top of the page says "in 2 days" haiyaaa

      • +1

        In WA it says tomorrow at the top of the page because it's set to start at midnight AEDT, so 9pm for us.

  • Is this Vanilla Mastercard the one that is ok for DEFT?
    The Vanilla visa from recent Coles deal does not on DEFT.

    • I have been paying deft on vanilla visa. No issues tbh.

      • Yeah wasn’t working for me when I tried it with Vanilla giftcards from Coles last week.

        • I will give it another try tonight. I have been using both Coles Mastercard and Vanilla Visa.

        • Confirmed - doesn't worn on DEFT anymore :'(

  • Can't find in-store in Perth OMG

  • none in my local woolies left..

  • Wonder if I could purchase these vanilla cards with the vanilla cards from Coles?

    • Short answer is no. But others can probably elaborate on this

  • Not a single variable left in local Woolworths but plenty of $100 in stock!!

  • Can you set a PIN and do they work at the same places as the Coles Prepaid MasterCards? Just wondering because the Vanilla Visa works at less places than the Coles MasterCard.

    • No pins for vanilla card,

      • +1

        Vanilla Visa gift cards don't support PINs but Vanilla/Coles Mastercard gift cards do.

        From the cardholder agreement:

        The use of a PIN with a physical Card is optional. However, should you choose to use a PIN with a Card, you can apply one when you first use the Card at a merchant’s POS device. Any four-digit code will work as the initial PIN for your first PIN-based transaction. After the first PIN-based transaction, you must use the same PIN for each subsequent PIN‑based transaction, unless and until you choose to reset the PIN.

  • Limit 2 for variable cards per day per member.

  • Thank you - looking for a way to hit CC spend

  • any issues with getting dodgy ones like the coles mastercard?

  • Easy way to hit min spend on new credit card!

    Love these lickle deals

  • Does anyone know whether the 10% off per month (Woolworths insurance) applies to this?

    • It doesn't. You may still be prompted to use it but it won't work.

    • 10% off doesn't work on any gift card purchase

      • Some sim starters were excluded tho categorised as GCs.

  • -4

    yeah, not worth the effort 0 thanks for posting though!

    • 😂 sorry Karen.

      • -1

        Thats was meant to be a '-' not a '0'

        Yeah, 3.41% discount is too low given the difficulty it will be in finding variable cards. If it was online, I would be up for it.

  • Is this still VIC/NSW only? Wonder if available in QLD.

    • Since when has a gift card deal at Woolworths been restricted to VIC/NSW only? The only times in recent memory I recall Woolworths excluding some regions from their gift card deals was when TAS was excluded from gift card deals earning bonus Everyday Rewards points (and this was only before August 2020, because that was when Everyday Rewards was not available in TAS).

      I can see this deal at the bottom of page 35 of the QLD catalogue.

  • Feels kind of pointless. Its a 3% discount and only if you get the full $500. Everything else even loses you money

  • +1

    Would it be even less than 3.74% considering you spend the points at woolies and u can get woolies gc for 5% off?
