Can use these at any service station, not just 7-Eleven
The 25c/litre max discount makes it less compelling these days
+1
Yep, and they seem to deliberately spread their prices high and low locally. Often stores within a few kilometres are 40-50c different in price. Means you might have a lock in, but the closest 7-Eleven to you is 50c more expensive, and they’re banking on you not wanting to drive another few kilometres to get the full discount.
Is it 711 branded card that can be used at any petrol station or a legit 711 gift card?
Branded Activ Visa, can be used at most service stations.
The gift cards in this deal are 7-Eleven digital gift cards, which can be used at any merchant using either of the following merchant category codes (as long as the merchant chooses to accept it as a payment method):
I used one to purchase a discounted AmpolCash gift card at an Ampol Foodary a couple of hours ago. If you want to see where other people have tried to use a 7-Eleven digital gift card, I suggest you have a look at this FAQ.
7-Eleven physical gift cards (which AFAIK are only sold at 7-Eleven stores) can only be redeemed at 7-Eleven service stations.
That’s pretty cool I wasn’t aware! Do we know if Ampol ones can be used at 711?
That is not possible, because:
AmpolCash physical gift cards can only be redeemed at service stations shown on the Ampol store locator. The gift cards operate on a proprietary network (just like the AmpolCard fuel charge card), rather than Visa or Mastercard.
AmpolCash digital gift cards are digital versions of the AmpolCash physical gift card (i.e. they also run on the same proprietary network as AmpolCash physical gift cards), and you can only redeem them either by having a staff member scan a QR code, or you provide the 10 digit gift card number.
@WookieMonster: @WookieMonster do you know if a digital Shell gift card can be used to buy a physical Ampolcash card or a physical Wish or Woolworths gift card at Ampol Foodary?
@Chatgpttrue: My guess is that will not work, because the redemption of digital Shell gift cards appear to be actually restricted to participating Shell service stations.
I have never seen an Ampol Foodary service station sell Woolworths Supermarket gift cards nor WISH gift cards. Have you seen this at an Ampol Foodary?
@WookieMonster: Thanks for your response.
I may have just presumed Ampol Foodary sells these gift cards but I am likely wrong.
@Chatgpttrue: EG Ampol (which is an Ampol franchisee that is operated separately from Ampol Foodary) sell WISH gift cards, but you cannot purchase them using a 7-Eleven digital gift card, because EG Ampol has set up their checkouts to automatically block this.
Haven't touched 711 since they butchered the price locks and haven't looked back. Costco all the way.
I have tried using 7/11 digital card in almost all servos except Costco. It works everywhere.
There were multiple reports back in March of 7-Eleven digital gift cards working at Costco's service stations (which I found rather confusing, because Costco is supposed to use MCC 5542). I have not seen any more recent reports though.
Haven't used these before, so just wondering how people use the small remaining balance on these cards? Do you ask the staff to do split payments?
Yes.
The gift card in this deal is a prepaid Visa gift card that is restricted to two merchant category codes. If you want to do split payments, you will need to tell the staff member to do split payment across multiple cards (including the exact amount to redeem from each card).
In terms of specific merchants:
Apparently 7-Eleven can do split payments, but staff may not always let you do this for whatever reason.
I did split payments between a 7-Eleven digital gift card and another prepaid gift card at an Ampol Foodary a couple of hours ago.
I have done split payments between multiple cards many times at EG Ampol and Shell Coles/Reddy Express.
Yes can definitely do split payments if the staff member is patient and helpful. Can be done at many servos including 7-Eleven/Mobil. I have only had the odd sales person who did not know how to do this.
I usually just ask to split the payment and choose to pay an amount I’d remember using the gift card and the rest with a CC.
Example: if I need to pay $73.55, i’ll just pay $50 using the gift card and leave $50 for the next refuel.
Just makes it a bit easier to remember and I don’t have to mention exact amounts with cents to grumpy staff.
Can I use this for myki?
Ta. So, is it possible to top up myki money and ask for refund for profit
I’ll pay you $6 if you don’t do that.
Exactly what I’m thinking, I’m gonna do a few.
Is there a limit to how many gift cards we can buy?
2
No deal if not 7% cashback
Next year you'll want 11%
That's the way.
No this is also good
I realise there are 2 types of 7-11 giftcards on shop back.
One mnntions fuel and the other does not mention fuel anywhere at all.
Van bith be used at the petrol station, or does the one that doesnt mention fuel can only be used at the 7-11 convenience store?
Idk what you seeing but in my ios app only see 1 type of 7-11 GC
@noelhoi I see what you see. Only one type of 7-Eleven gift card on my Android phone.
@jecec Hope you see better on Thurs.
They need to fix their bloody stupid payment system, apply pay, saved cards, new cards, none of these works since last week.
Anyone else having issues with paying by credit card at shopback? Zippay doesn't work either.
Apparently if you add 2 cards, then go back to check the cashback amount, the deal expires even if you haven't purchased the cards.
E: Takes a few mins to check that you haven't actually bought and unlocks itself.
Thanks OP, just picked up 2 $100. Didn’t know these could be used at other servo’s! Although I have 5 Ampol 6% off $100 in my wallet… maybe I should slow down on snagging these deals lol
Slightly out of topic, did anyone knew if this giftcard works on ev charging stations like ampcharge, chargefox, evie?
I'm having problems adding one of these cards to Google Pay this morning. The card is active but it keeps coming up with an error.
Same here, Google Wallet "couldn't finish card setup for pay contactless".
same issue for me with 7-11 vouchers purchased from CR last time. card active, but google pay kept declining. Raised support to CR to get new cards only to be palmed back to Google support. BHN not helping as well. it said to clear cache and stuff but still not working. Ended up adding to apple wallet, too much back and forth. hence iffy to purchase the 7-11 now
Don’t add these to your cart and try to go back to check anything as seemingly can’t re-add them again even if you didn’t purchase
Anyone know if you can pay for petrol with this gift card?
Doubt it
Was running low, but their lock in prices haven't been as good as previously.
