      Not quite sure if the point 2 from Partner Gift Cards says, however I've pretty sure they have a notice to say that cannot purchase a gift card using another gift card as a payment method.

      If it works, it would be a miracle.

      • Officeworks updated their website in December 2022 to highlight their gift card policy. In short, it says you cannot use any "gift card" to purchase a gift card (and Officeworks uses a very broad definition of "gift card" that covers Ultimate gift cards).

      • Officeworks started putting up signs in front of their in-store checkouts around the same time to tell customers they cannot use gift cards to purchase gift cards.

      • Officeworks started rolling out an update to their in-store checkouts in June 2023 to automatically block anyone from using an Ultimate gift card to purchase any gift cards. Attempting to do this on a patched checkout will see an Invalid Product Mix error message pop up on the EFTPOS terminal, plus the staff member will see a message on their screen saying that you cannot use a gift card type payment method. I have tried this a few times since June 2023 using different mobile wallets and different types of Ultimate gift cards and attempting to purchase different gift cards, but I have run into the blocks.

      • Officeworks has probably blocked people from using Ultimate gift cards to pay for gift cards sold on their online. Two people reported during the 15% off Ultimate eGift Card deal about a year ago it did not work. Also this person.

      • I have no idea whether Officeworks can (and does) accept Ultimate gift cards over the phone. Someome told me it does not work, but did not elaborate further.

      • It is also against the terms and conditions of the Ultimate gift card scheme to use them to purchase any gift cards or vouchers from any participating merchants.

      • Asian on 16/10/2024 - 21:25

        noob question, i m not familiar with the game: can you buy these giftcards, use them at officeworks + PB 5% to get 15% off apple products at OW/?

      • slam on 16/10/2024 - 23:03

        Thanks for the post.

        Looks like no go, I think alot of places are clamping down. I use to be able to buy Apple gift cards with Ultimate cards at JB Hifi. I'm not sure if they have blocked them too.

        Seems risky now to buy TCN or Ultimate cards to try and get Apple giftcards with them.

        I'll probably have to settle for 5% off with rewardsgateway.

        • WookieMonster on 17/10/2024 - 00:01
          +3

          JB Hi-Fi’s gift card policy says you cannot use an Ultimate or TCN gift card to purchase any gift cards, but I think it is still actually up to staff to enforce this. If you have an Ultimate gift card and use it from a supported mobile wallet in-store at JB Hi-Fi, there is a very good chance the staff member will not think twice to ask you what kind of payment method you want to use. I find it is much riskier to try and swipe a physical gift card on an EFTPOS terminal, because it is unusual to see someone swipe a card these days, so swiping will draw attention to what you are trying to do.

          Put it this way, no one has mentioned on OzBargain (as far as I have seen) anything about JB Hi-Fi’s in-store checkouts automatically rejecting Ultimate or TCN gift cards if you are wanting to purchase a gift card, so you are probably fine for now.

          I suspect Officeworks is a different case, because they sell a wider range of gift cards (e.g. prepaid Visa gift cards, prepaid eftpos gift cards, Coles Group & Myer gift cards) than JB Hi-Fi (which only really sell entertainment-oriented gift cards), so Officeworks probably felt they had to put a stop to this.

          • KiwiBloke on 17/10/2024 - 13:30

            @WookieMonster: Thanks for the knowledge drop @WookieMonster
            Any ideas what the best denominations/combinations of Apple Gift Cards would be using multiple $110 (ie. $1100 worth) valued Ultimate Everyone cards to purchase at JB Hi-Fi?

            • WookieMonster on 17/10/2024 - 14:18
              +1

              @KiwiBloke: It depends if you can do split payments or not.

              If you can, it would be best to use 2x $110 Ultimate gift cards to purchase 1x $200 and 1x $20 Apple gift cards.

              If you cannot, you could use 1x $110 Ultimate gift card to purchase 1x $50 and 2x $30 Apple gift cards.

              You could try to split payment across more Ultimate gift cards, but you may push your luck, especially with my previous comment!

              • NeverMissABargain on 26/10/2024 - 10:48

                @WookieMonster: Mate, is there any known limitation of the maximum number of gift cards redemption at JB HIFI?

                • NeverMissABargain on 26/10/2024 - 10:51

                  @NeverMissABargain: Never mind I got the answer in your later iconic post and replies. You rock!

                  +1

                  @NeverMissABargain: It depends on how you want to shop at JB Hi-Fi and the type of gift cards you have.

                  In-store

                  My understanding is that there is no payment card redemption limit in the checkouts. Someone last year redeemed 99 TCN gift cards in one transaction. However, splitting payments between multiple payment cards is at the discretion of the staff member serving you, so if the staff member is having a bad day and gets cranky at you for wanting to use 99x Ultimate or TCN gift cards in one transaction and refuses to help you, you are kinda stuck.

                  Having said that, the JB Hi-Fi gift card policy states you cannot redeem JB Hi-Fi gift cards or Ultimate / TCN gift cards at their Sydney International Airport store or Gold Coast Airport store. (I suspect this is due to these stores being located in the duty-free area.)

                  Online (jbhifi.com.au)

                  The JB Hi-Fi website will only allow the redemption of one Ultimate (Visa) gift card per online transaction, as JB Hi-Fi’s website cannot handle split payments across multiple Visa cards.

                  However, the easiest workaround for this situation is to go to the Ultimate gift card exchange facility (which can be found on the Ultimate gift card website) and exchange an Ultimate gift card for a digital JB Hi-Fi gift card. There is no known limit to the number of JB Hi-Fi gift cards that can be redeemed in one online transaction. Someone recently posted about them redeeming 51 JB Hi-Fi gift cards in one online transaction.

                  As an aside, if you ask for a JB deal over the phone or live chat, the text message you get with your special checkout page may say that you cannot redeem any third-party gift cards and only a maximum of ten JB Hi-Fi gift cards. I suspect this limit is actually not enforced through…

                  Other JB Hi-Fi websites (e.g. JB Hi-Fi Commercial, JB Hi-Fi Education, JB Hi-Fi Business, JB Hi-Fi Solutions)

                  My understanding is that Ultimate gift cards do not work on these portals. Additionally, there is no option to redeem JB Hi-Fi gift cards on these portals. It is hardly surprising this is the case, because the JB Hi-Fi gift card policy says:

                  1. Gift Cards are not redeemable for goods purchased from JB Hi-Fi Business and JB Hi-Fi Education (including goods purchased from JB Hi-Fi Business and JB Hi-Fi Education websites, BYOD Portals and Corporate Benefits Portals).

      Good question.

      I'd say there is a decent amount of wasted value on gift cards that would help cover it.

      Little bits of leftover credit, people forget about them, lose them, let them expire.

      I guess it's the same concept as a membership model. E.g. upfront pay. Cash flow is king. They invest the $ elsewhere.

      They are banking on a big percentage of buyers buying these as presents or for a rainy day, which will get used slowly (1 year expiration), or even never…

      Also, don't they make $ off the suppliers themselves? I know businesses lose $ to use Uber Eats as a platform for example. But in return, they get the exposure and the larger target customer base.

        This deal is better as it is 10% off while the other one works out to be like a 9% discount. Especially since you can just buy the rounded off amount you need rather than ending up with 10% extra to spend later (or be short the final amount).

        • suzta on 16/10/2024 - 21:10

          How does the Woolies deal end up only 9% more value? Maths is not my strong suit, but isn't the Woolies offer worth 10%?

          • WookieMonster on 16/10/2024 - 22:12
            +6

            @suzta: The previous commenter mentioned that 10% bonus value = 9.09090909% discount.

            If we look this deal and the Woolworths deal, and consider the $100 Ultimate Her gift card as an example:

            • Through this deal, you pay $90 upfront and get $100 of value on the gift card. The discount is equal to (100-90)/100 = 10/100 = 0.1 (or 10%).

            • Through the Woolworths deal, you pay $100 upfront and get $110 of value on the gift card. The discount is equal to (110-100)/110 = 10/110 = 0.09090909 (or 9.09090909%). The 10% bonus comes from the fact that when you pay $100 upfront, the Ultimate gift card has an extra $10 loaded onto it (which is 10% of the $100 you paid upfront).

            • suzta on 16/10/2024 - 22:55

              @WookieMonster: That's a valiant effort on your part, Wookiemonster, but I'm afraid I still don't really get it despite reading it closely. $100 to $110 & $90 to $100 seem the same prima facie. Although, 10% of $90 would be $9 and with Coles you're getting $10 for free, so that seems better. Anyway, I'll take your word for it.

              (I'm the type of person who would get that question about a ball costing 10c and the bat costing whatever wrong. Although, I would realise there's a "trick" built into the question, so that's a consolation ha ha.)

    • WookieMonster on 16/10/2024 - 23:52
      +1

      Coles’ checkouts will not let you purchase more than 5 gift cards in one transaction. There are also usually signs at Coles stores saying customers can only purchase 5 gift cards. However, there is no mention of this deal being a Flybuys members offer with a cap on the number of gift cards you can purchase, so the only things really stopping you from purchasing more gift cards in subsequent transactions are:

      • Staff choosing to enforce the 5 gift card limit per customer (i.e. refusing to authorise subsequent transactions).
      • A lack of stock at the store you go to.

      For example, if you purchase 5 gift cards on one day and then purchase 5 more gift cards the next day at the same store, you will (most probably) be fine. Alternatively, if you purchase 5 gift cards at one store and then travel to another store on the same day, you can purchase 5 more gift cards.

      • GReeeeN on 17/10/2024 - 00:27

          If you are purchasing from JB Hi-Fi in-store, you should be able to. Someone used 99 cards in one transaction last year.

          If you are purchasing from JB Hi-Fi online, you will not be able to redeem 43x Ultimate gift cards in one transaction, because the JB Hi-Fi website cannot handle split payments across multiple Visa cards. However, if you go to the Ultimate gift card exchange portal and exchange an Ultimate gift card for a digital JB Hi-Fi gift card, you can then redeem that JB Hi-Fi gift card in an online transaction. There should be no limit to the number of JB Hi-Fi gift cards you can redeem in one online transaction.

              Are you exchanging 43 Ultimate gift cards for 43 JB gift cards?

              Yes. You cannot consolidate multiple Ultimate gift cards into one JB Hi-Fi gift card on the Ultimate gift card exchange portal.

              Is there a limit to how many JB gift cards can be used on JB online?

              Apparently there is no limit on the number of JB Hi-Fi gift cards you can redeem on the online store.

              What are the chances of Coles having hundreds of $50 denominations in stock?

              Hundreds of $50 Ultimate gift cards at one Coles store? I have never seen that before. The only time I have seen hundreds of one type of gift card on a gift card shelf at Coles was this.

              Usually during these deals, you can find probably around 20x $50 denominations of each Ultimate gift card type, but it really depends on how that store restocks gift cards, as well as how many other people in your area are keen for 10% off these Ultimate gift cards.

      Not all physical Ultimate gift cards expire within three years.

      They can’t be used online.

      Ultimate (Visa) gift cards can be used online at participating retailers that choose to accept them online. However, not all participating retailers will allow Ultimate gift cards as payment methods on their website. You need to check the Ultimate gift card website to see the most up-to-date list.

      You’re not allowed to exchange them for JBHIFI gift cards.

      You are not allowed to use Ultimate gift cards to purchase JB Hi-Fi gift cards from JB Hi-Fi. However, the Ultimate gift card website currently says you can go to the Ultimate gift card exchange portal and exchange your Ultimate gift card for a digital JB Hi-Fi gift card.

      What about the current deal at Woolworths? That includes the $100 denomination of the Ultimate Active & Wellness gift card (but not the $50 denomination).

      • Mavstrong on 20/10/2024 - 22:00

        Yeah looked at that, but need more than $110, not sure when I'd use the extra.

  • yogabagaba on 22/10/2024 - 04:09

    are you able to use multiple ultimate giftcards in one purchase at office works + price beat? (hypothetically I have 30 just laying around then use them all at once to buy a TV)

  • NirajSS on 22/10/2024 - 07:17

    Always excludes variable no good :D

  • Antebellum on 23/10/2024 - 00:38

    Would this be a good opportunity to buy now for 10% off or wait it out to see if it'll be 15% in the coming months? It has been been posted the in the past.

  • Telios on 23/10/2024 - 09:42

    Mr Wookie, why are the stores different from the Woolies Ultimate gift card stores?

    Or do they still work even though they aren't listed?

    • WookieMonster on 23/10/2024 - 09:50

      The list of participating retailers should not be different between the Coles and Woolworths deals. I copied the participating retailers for these gift cards from the same data source last night and pasted it into both the Coles and Woolworths deals.

      Are you able to point out how they are different?

        Ahhh my mistake I think.

        I was looking at the active and him cards but they aren't listed in the Coles deal.

  • skye89 on 23/10/2024 - 18:21

    I had a look at the students card hoping to get 10% off IKEA. There is no IKEA symbol on the front cover of the card - will it still work?

    • WookieMonster on 23/10/2024 - 19:38

      Yes, because IKEA is listed on the Ultimate gift card website as a participating retailer of the Ultimate Students gift card. (If you would like more comprehensive explanation, I suggest you take a look at this FAQ in the FAQ page linked at the bottom of the deal description.)

      IKEA was added as a participating retailer for the Ultimate gift card scheme in late July 2023, and only started appearing on the packaging of physical Ultimate gift cards manufactured from May 2023 onwards. My guess is that the Ultimate Students gift cards you were looking at were manufactured before May 2023.

    Starting to sold out everywhere… people are desperate

  • Telios on 24/10/2024 - 09:13

    Dang can't get the store I needed, and all the $50 and $100s are gone anyway

  • billybrown on 24/10/2024 - 14:00

    Can you purchase these using a coles gift card? @WookieMonster. Edit: answered already in FAQ. Answer is no unfortunately!

  • solidussnake on 24/10/2024 - 18:03

    I tried today with a $50 and $30 they did not reduce, there were no banners up and no staff knew about the offer so I gave up.

  • Al123 on 24/10/2024 - 18:41

    Found some "Ultimate for Students" cards at Coles not with the Officeworks logo on their packages.
    Can they still be used at Officeworks?

    • Al123 on 24/10/2024 - 18:52

      What a scary answer I find :/

      "My Ultimate (Visa) gift card does not have the logo of a particular participating retailer on its packaging. Can it be redeemed at that participating retailer?

      It depends.

      The source of truth for participating retailers is the Ultimate gift card website (as outlined by the gift card terms and conditions and a Blackhawk Network representative on OzBargain).

      The packaging generally should not be used when trying to identify participating retailers , because:

      Participating retailers are typically added to or removed from at least one type of Ultimate (Visa) gift card every few weeks.
      Physical Ultimate (Visa) gift cards are only manufactured in batches (e.g. May 2021, June 2022, December 2022, May 2023) and take a number of months before they arrive at a retailer for sale.
      A retailer may have physical Ultimate (Visa) gift cards from different batches on sale at the same time."

    • WookieMonster on 24/10/2024 - 20:06

      The short answer is yes.

      I have used Ultimate Students gift cards at Officeworks that were originally purchased many months before Officeworks was added as a participating retailer and it worked fine.

      My full answer is basically the same as the one I posted yesterday re: IKEA.

      • Ozpe1903 on 28/10/2024 - 12:38

        Do they get%15 every Black Friday catalog

        • WookieMonster on 29/10/2024 - 00:41

          Ultimate gift cards? No. In 2021 and 2022, Ultimate gift cards were 15% off at Coles at the start of December, but there was no such deal at Coles in December 2023 (likely because there was a 15% off deal on the Coles Group online gift card portal in September 2023).

          TCN gift cards? That happened at Coles for selected TCN gift cards for Black Friday 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. I have no idea whether the same will happen for Black Friday 2024.

  • SR9 on 25/10/2024 - 16:39

    Does anyone know the old ultimate Him card also gets the discount? The one without saying one for all

  • MastermindJapan on 25/10/2024 - 20:20

    Promo wasn’t available at my local Coles.

    • RichardL on 25/10/2024 - 22:20

      Was it a 'Coles Local' or 'Coles Central' Store, if so they don't usually follow catalogue specials.

      • Wencong on 26/10/2024 - 06:38

        Coles Local is fine, I got my cards from Coles Local Concord with a discount.

  • Wencong on 26/10/2024 - 06:39

    Spotted heaps of cards hanging behind the gift card cabinet. Don't know when they will refill them.

  • Ozpe1903 on 28/10/2024 - 12:37

    Will they be %15 off at Black Friday catalogue
