    Can we apply a 10% discount code?

    • i don't think so

      I mean, no, no

  • Thanks OP

  • FYI - Apple Gift Cards CANNOT be used for AppleCare+ 2-year or monthly payments in Australia

    • +1

      Even when you go to purchase it in-store at Apple?

      • That’s correct

        It’s an insurance product and there’s strict laws regarding the sale of them in Australia, which is also why they have to give you 7 days before you can buy it (but they do give you 7 days free access to it)

        • +2

          there’s strict laws regarding the sale of them in Australia

          And strict laws about the payment methods? I don't think so.

        • +5

          That's a shame, considering this person recently said it worked in-store for a one-off purchase of AppleCare+, and these people back in July 2024 also said the same thing.

          • +5

            @WookieMonster: Yeah, I don't know what he's on about, but you can definitely pay for AppleCare with a gift card. The only caveat is you need to present the physical card in the Apple store and the owner of the device must be present.

            • -1

              @KangaDrew: What I’m on about is the two weeks of back and forth with Apple and JB about who’s liable for refunding the gift card I purchased because AppleCare cannot be paid for by gift card

              • @linkindan: How does JB fit into the equation here? And why were you after a refund on the GC when that's pretty much the number 1 rule - when it comes to GC's, there are no refunds.

                • -2

                  @KangaDrew: I bought the gift card at JB, they agreed that it could be used for AppleCare, Apple informed me it can’t, JB agreed to refund after Apple confirmed to them that AppleCare cannot be paid by gift card and the balance had been returned to the card

                  • @linkindan: Sounds like an outlier case unfortunately, as JB were correct.

                    • -3

                      @KangaDrew: JB… Apple… JB… Apple

                      Yeah. I’m gonna go with the company whose logo is on the (profanity) gift card telling me unequivocally that you cannot purchase AppleCare with a gift card - online, in store or the phone. I tried it all.

                      • +5

                        @linkindan: Whoever from Apple told you that is mostly correct, but what they told - in my opinion - does not fully align to what the (Australian) Apple gift card terms and conditions says. If you look at section 2 of the terms, it says:

                        You can use your Gift Cards to purchase content, apps, and services (collectively, “Content”) from Apple Media Services and items (“Products”) from Apple Retail Stores, Apple online stores, and the Apple Store App.

                        In terms of how I interpret these terms:

                        • AppleCare+ is not "Content" offered by Apple Media Services, which is the reason you cannot use them to pay for an AppleCare+ subscription.

                        • AppleCare+ is arguably an item from an Apple Retail Store, because between days 8 and 60 after your device's original purchase date, you can take your device back to the Apple Store and ask to purchase AppleCare+ (but only for a one-off upfront payment).

                        • AppleCare+ is not sold on any Apple online stores nor the Apple Store app. There is a section on the Apple website where you can purchase AppleCare+ for your device, but it is strictly speaking not an "Apple online store".

                        I cannot see a clause in the Apple gift card terms and conditions that explicitly says "you cannot use Gift Cards to pay for an AppleCare+ policy".

                        Have you tried to purchase an AppleCare+ policy at an Apple Retail Store, or are you now outside the 60 day window?

                        • -3

                          @WookieMonster: I did, and they said it can’t be done. iPhone 15 Pro Max in perfect condition within 60 days of purchase.

                          I recently read in terms and conditions on an Apple website page that AppleCare cannot be paid for by gift card in Australia, but I can’t find the specific page.

                          At the end of the day, if you get it with a discounted gift card, well done.
                          I went (profanity) mental trying to get it, because someone at Apple Support said I could, JB said I could and then every way I tried it wouldn’t work and then everyone else at Apple Support and the Apple Store said I can’t.

                  • @linkindan: This is not commonly known by some staff in Apple Store.

                    I tried two stores to make it work. The guy in the first store I tried refuses on me no matter what. And the guy in Fountain Gate first doesn't believe it's possible. Then I have to walk them through the EasyPay, and discover indeed one-off purchase of AC+ gives the payment option with gift cards.

                    You just need to convince them it's possible. And some staff can be stubborn (hey it's Apple, and they are stubborn in a privileged yet polite way all the time because they're trained that way).

                    Of course now it won't be an issue because you can just tap your account balance card in the wallet app. (Though you can still pay by physical gift cards if you choose to).

          • @WookieMonster: Unless something changed recently you can do it instore at an Apple Store. In the last year I have bought AppleCare+ for my iPhone 15 Pro, my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro and my studio display at the Apple Store. It is only for the two year up front version. The month to month can not be done. I bought a $100 card the other day to use to go in and pay for AppleCare+ on her new Watch 10 so will let you know if they knock me back.

        • It’s an insurance product and there’s strict laws regarding the sale of them in Australia, which is also why they have to give you 7 days before you can buy it (but they do give you 7 days free access to it)

          This only applies to products you buy from Apple - as they're also the ones selling/offering AppleCare+.
          Buy a Mac from Apple - 7 days 'complimentary' AppleCare+
          Buy a Mac from JB HiFi - no complimentary AppleCare+ so you can buy it on day one either on your device, or at an Apple Retail Store.

          • -4

            @b3au: Oh so the 7 days free AppleCare I got from Apple means I didn’t buy my phone at JB? Funny how the receipt has JBs logo on it. not Apple, and I paid with JB gift cards, again not Apple

            • @linkindan: "which is also why they have to give you 7 days before you can buy it" only applies to products you buy from Apple direct.

              You could buy an iPhone from JB HiFi, then walk across the street into an Apple Retail Store 5 minutes later and pay for AppleCare+ with your gift card, or using your account balance in Apple Pay.a

              • -2

                @b3au: I bought it from JB.
                I got 7 days free AppleCare.
                End of story.

              • @b3au: Unfortunately not that fast in most cases. New AC+ policy must be purchased until the current policy expires, which includes the 7-day complementary ones.

                Though I assume if you haven't activated your product you can probably add full AC+ immediately, where the 7-day complementary AC+ hasn't kicked in. I never tried that myself.

                • @xmagic: Or if you buy your product elsewhere than Apple (Officeworks, Amazon etc) where there is zero complimentary AC+

                  • @b3au: I think it's universal now?

                    I've seen my colleagues iPhones purchased from JB or HN comes with the 7-day AC+ upon activation, and my own watch S8 from eBay, originally an unwanted gift, despite being unactivated for months, was also given a 7-day AC+ at the time of activation.

      • +2

        You can pay in store with a gift card. You just can't pay for it with your Apple account balance.

        • +1

          I thought you could use an Apple Account Associated Balance in-store nowadays, because Apple recently added the option to add an Apple Account Card to Apple Pay (as long as you are running iOS 17.6 or later) and use that as a payment method in an Apple Store.

          When I added an Apple gift card to my Apple Account Associated Balance using my iPhone a few days ago, the Apple Account Card was automatically added to Apple Pay.

          • +1

            @WookieMonster: Ahh, I see. I paid for mine in-store on the M4 iPad Pro and that was before the iOS update, so I wouldn't have been across that change at the time.

          • +2

            @WookieMonster: Yes I just purchased Apple Care for my phone this way. In store only.

          • +3

            @WookieMonster: Yes Wookie you're absolutely right. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING in the Apple Retail Store now can be paid by account balance. For the best experience, add Apple balance card in wallet app for payments.

            AppleCare+, when purchased online, must be paid by a credit card, not account balance. Though the one-off (2-3 years depends on the product category) variant can be purchased in retail store by account balance. This was not possible a few months back (where you must present physical gift cards in store).

    • Happy to be corrected, but I think you can use it to pay for AppleCare. You just can’t use funds already added to your Apple wallet to do so (i.e. the card needs to be redeemed in-store).

      • Thats what I thought too.

        I mean now even if you redeem the gift card into your account you can now put it into you apple account balance in wallet like this https://imgur.com/a/ErFpVeg

      • +1

        Yes, you are correct.

    • +1

      This isn't correct. You can use physical Apple Gift Cards, or your Apple Account Balance, to pay for your yearly AppleCare+ at an Apple Retail Store in person.

      • Thanks, so get AppleCare+ instore, pay using physical giftcard. I'll need to do this after 7 days on my macbook. Explains why I cant buy AppleCare+ online when I got my new machine. It has to be after 7 days.

    • +1

      I bought a 2-year AppleCare+ for my iPhone 16 last month at the Apple Store with Gift Cards and an EPP discount.

    • Definitely wrong information, and need more context on this comment.

  • These points don't expire do they? The Apple Gift Card ones.

    • +3

      Everyday Rewards points only expire if you do not earn or redeem Everyday Rewards points or Everyday Rewards Dollars on your registered account for 18 months.

      Apple gift cards have no expiry date.

      • +1

        Thank you. I was more worried about the Apple Gift Cards, but good to know about the Everyday Rewards ones too.

    • +1

      no they dont still have leftover money from the last time i purchased my phone 3 years ago

      • Good to know, I was planning on stocking up for whenever I need it in the future.

  • +1

    good deal op. might get some if im not feeling lazy again lol

  • +2

    Warning: Do not use Apple Gift Cards to purchase in conjunction with a trade in for online purchases only, unless you wish to be refunded the credit back in the form of gift cards. Apple chooses to refund you back through gift cards first and then any remainder in your other payment method. This does not apply if you are doing purchase + trade-in in store.

    • Why not just loads all the gift cards balance to your Mac account and use that to make the online purchases payment?

    • I just had my trade in redeemed as Apple credit.

      I partially paid on card for a new phone and hoped they’d send the trade in as $ instead.

  • -1

    Does anyone know can we stack the gift cards with Apple EPP program to maximise the benefit?

    I wanna buy an iphone 16 promax 512gb = $2250 (with 10% discount for Apple EPP, RRP $2499), can I pay (online/in-store) with $2250 apple gift cards?

    • What is EPP program? I went o Apple education site, but found no discount for 16 pro max 512G. still 2499.
      Could you provide the link for the discount?
      thanks

    • +4

      iPhone has no discount through EPP.

    • Education/EPP program doesn't discount iPhones like they do Mac/iPad

    • Just checked my EPP it doesn’t apply for iphone sorry guys

  • -1

    Is this equivalent to like 10% off

    • +2

      Hey jes, Yes

      • +1

        Thank you my friendly friend!!

  • Anyone know whether variable 20-500 also comes with 20x point?

    • +7

      Yes, because:

      • The deal terms says this deal is for all denominations of Apple gift cards.

      • The deal terms specifically mentions the purchase limit for the variable load denomination is ten per member per day.

      • The deal terms says towards the end that you will earn 20x points for every $1 you spend on the variable load denomination.

      • The poster I linked in the deal description literally has a picture of the variable load denomination on it.

  • +1

    Can someone please explain how this works? Like how the discount/bargain saves money?

    And can I use it on the Apple On Campus website?

    • +2

      I can confirm you can use the Gift Cards on the Apple on Campus website. I bought the mac mini this week using the Gift Cards from Coles.

      I redeemed and combined the gift cards to my apple account and used the balance to pay through the website.

      Similar to the Coles promo, you save through the everyday rewards points. (eg pay the price on Apple Store, and save on the grocery through points).

  • +3

    Can anyone confirm if the gift cards work for purchases on education store or AOC union store. Last time it was not letting me use them.

    • +1

      AOC union store.

      Omg please someone confirm too… im going in if yes

    • If used them in the past successfully, why wouldn’t it let you use it? You’ve paid money for it

    • +1

      Confirm I just place my order and it worked ok for delivery with AOC with gift cards.

  • -2

    Is it worth getting a new 16 pro max using these card or wait for any other deal during Black Friday from a different retailer?

    This is straight away 10% off! Can’t see gift cards sold for so cheap anywhere else online.

    Is there a cap on $1000 max on gift cards a day?

  • This is where someone takes an unactivated Apple gift card from a store, swaps out the unactivated gift card inside with an already-activated gift card.

    I get the swap part, but how the scammer can use the unactivated card without paying?
    Edit. Ohhh the cqrd becomes active when we pay. So we pay for the scammer!

  • warning. newbie questions below:
    How do you use multiple gift cards for a single purchase (macbook) via the Apple Education store?
    And can you stack cashback when using gift cards?

    • +1

      You load them to your apple pay balance. Max $4999

      Or enter the card number one by one at the check out page. Max 8 cards

  • -1

    Thanks for sharing, bro. Do you mean we should open the seal and check before buying an Apple gift card? I’m just wondering if some staff at Woolworths/Coles might not allow us to do that.

    • staff at Woolworths/Coles might not allow us to do that.

      Dont let them see you when opening

  • -2

    Apologies if similar question has been asked before but can a Vanilla visa (or Coles MasterCard GC) be used to pay at Woolies?

    • -1

      The answer appears to be yes, however, this is last verified is in 2021. Has anyone attempted to do it recently?

  • -3

    Whats this equate too? I.e is it 10% back in woolworths doller-doos?

    • +1

      If you convert your Everyday Rewards points into Everyday Rewards Dollars, you are getting 10% of the amount you spend on the gift cards back (assuming you equate 2000 points = $10).

      If you convert your Everyday Rewards points into Qantas points, you will get 10x Qantas points per $1 spent on the gift cards.

      • +1

        Thanks for that, some reason I couldn't get my head around it

  • -2

    Wouldn't it be easier to buy iphone from bigW with everyday reward extra? 10% off, maybe even use some giftcard to pay?

    • +2

      Apple products are supposed to be excluded from the 10% off Everyday Extra monthly discount.

      If you look at the relevant FAQ on the Everyday Rewards website:

      What products can I not apply my Extra Discounts on?

      The Extra Discount cannot be used for or on any smoking or tobacco products and accessories, liquor, gift cards (including iTunes), mobile recharge, Woolworths Mobile, travel cards, tickets, cash outs, delivery charges (including Delivery Unlimited items), bag fees, donations, Carpet Care, lottery products, pre-order kiosks, purchases on a charge account, BIG W Photos online, Apple products, gaming consoles, Playstation Portal and Playstation VR devices, rainchecks, BIG W eBay, BIG W Market, DukeLiving, pre-orders, lay-by fees, remote and bulk orders or Everyday Market from Woolworths orders, any purchases made at the Everyday Rewards Shop and any purchases made at Ampol Woolworths Metro and MetroGo stores.

      If it still works when you attempt to purchase an Apple product at BIG W, that is fantastic, but keep in mind that BIG W may actually enforce this restriction.

  • -3

    These gift card threads bring out all of those who can't be bothered to read terms and conditions.

    • +3

      Some questions are not covered in T&Cs, no one can know everything, and the spirit of OzB is all about helping each other out. IMHO, a simple yes or no answer to people asking questions is far more helpful than bothering to take time to just downvote.

  • Does any one know if being a team member and using there personal card will work with the points?

  • -1

    Can I use a Bupa Woolworths gift card to purchase an Apple gift card?

    • +2

      I am fairly sure a “Bupa Woolworths gift card” is just a Woolworths Supermarkets gift card issued by Woolworths Group. If so, that cannot be used as a payment method for any gift cards at Woolworths or Woolworths Metro (as per this FAQ).

      The only type of Woolworths-branded gift card that I am aware of that is not issued by Woolworths Group is the Woolworths-branded Special gift card. That is a prepaid Mastercard gift card issued by Karta (the company behind Special), which means it operates very differently to a regular gift card issued by Woolworths Group.

  • -1

    To take this offer, does it need activation (eg. by clicking Boost now button)? Or this is applicable to any Everyday Rewards account?

    Also, if I have Everyday Extra, will it double the points (= 40x)?

    • +4

      This deal does not require activation, because:

      • Prior in-store gift card deals have not required activation. There were instances in the past where Apple gift card deals were advertised in the Everyday Rewards app with a Boost button, but the booster actually said in the fine print that you did not need to press Boost to take advantage of the offer.

      • There is nothing in the fine print on the in-store poster that says you must activate the offer before making any purchases.

      If you have Everyday Extra, you are not supposed to receive any bonus points from that Everyday Extra subscription when purchasing gift cards (which means you should only receive bonus points from this advertised offer). If you read the relevant FAQ on the Everyday Extra webpage:

      What purchases will I collect 2x points on?

      You’ll collect Extra Points of 1 bonus point for every dollar spent at Woolworths and BIG W, in-store and online. There are a small number of products which you won’t collect Extra Points on, such as smoking products, gift cards, mobile recharge, travel cards and delivery charges. For further details, see this FAQ and the Everyday Rewards program terms and conditions at everydayrewards.com.au/terms.

      Also, I thought Everyday Extra gave you 2x points (i.e. 1 bonus point per $1 spent), not 21x points (which is what you are suggesting). A bonus points booster gives you a certain number of bonus points for every $1 you spend, so when you stack bonus points boosters, you only add together the bonus points you get from each booster, rather than multiply the number of points you earn as you factor in each offer. Again, there is a FAQ on the same Everyday Extra webpage:

      How do the Extra Points of 2x points work alongside my Everyday Rewards points boosters?

      With Everyday Extra you’ll receive 1 bonus point for every* dollar spent on every shop at Woolworths and BIG W, in-store and online, in addition to your usual 1 point for every* dollar you collect with Everyday Rewards. If you’re enjoying points boosters with Everyday Rewards, your points boosters will still be based on 1 point for every dollar spent.

      For example, if you make a $100 shop of eligible items at Woolworths and you have a 2x Rewards points booster on your total shop, and are subscribed to Everyday Extra, you’ll receive 3 times the points in total (300 points) on that shop. That consists of:

      • Base points - 100 points (1 point per dollar spent)
      • Rewards booster - 100 points (1 extra point per dollar spent)
      • Extra Points - 100 points (1 extra point per dollar spent)
      • +2

        Thank you for your excellent explanation @WookieMonster

  • -1

    How much is a everyday reward point worth?

    • It depends on how you use your Everyday Rewards (EDR) points.

      • If you convert your EDR points into EDR Dollars, each point is worth 0.5c (because 2000 EDR points = $10 in EDR Dollars). EDR Dollars can only be redeemed at participating businesses in multiples of $10. There are some people who argue that EDR Dollars are not actually worth that much, because you would be redeeming EDR Dollars instead of a discounted gift card, but that is a rabbit hole I am not going down (especially since different people have different ways of accessing discounted gift cards at different discount rates, plus it is not easy to use discounted gift cards at some participating businesses, particularly MILKRUN, MyDeal and Petstock).

      • If you convert your EDR points into Qantas points, 1 EDR = 0.5 Qantas points. The value of a Qantas point is another rabbit hole I do not want to go down in detail here, but FreePoints (the website I mentioned in the deal description) has a handy guide if you are interested.

      • Can I confirm that I can pay (part of) Apple gift card purchase with my EDR dollars?

        • +1

          No.

          It is against the Everyday Rewards terms and conditions to use Everyday Rewards Dollars as a payment method when purchasing gift cards.

          If you go to a Woolworths checkout, scan your Everyday Rewards card and are only looking to purchase gift cards in the transaction, the checkout screen will not give you the option to use Everyday Rewards Dollars as a payment option, even if you have Everyday Rewards Dollars available for redemption.

  • I was just gonna get it after work on Wednesday but my friend said these sell out very quickly and people actually line up for this?? Apparently a friend of hers went all the way to Liverpool to get the gift cards because it was sold out everywhere. Is this true?

    • Just buy from ozbargain classified, you can easily find 10% off

    • of course…. people will bring their wife husband children and pets to line up and buy Limit 10 Cards Per Day, then go out have lunch and come back for 2 round…. i heard some will change t-shirt or wear caps so staffs will not recognise them too (for the 2,3 rounds)

      • My name is Guy Incognito.

    • +2

      Didn't have any issues when coles had similar deal. They usually replenish, especially on the last day of sale

      • Completely agree. I bought $2000 of Coles offer on these gift cards couple of weeks ago, they were easy to find and had variable card options which made it easier.

        honestly you are talking high priced apple retail prices here. you can get the same products cheaper at jbhifi if you negotiate a bit and then use their 10% off. So not a very big deal. Mainly useful if you just want something off the edu store like the Mac mini or prefer the apple buying experience (which is avg anyway)

    • I found plenty of them this afternoon at Southgate NSW
