    Having problem to use those Ultimate GCs. Just got declined from Boost juice in-store using Ultimate Teens. That was pretty embarrassing. Then, I tried to add the physical GC to both Google Pay and Apple Pay, didn't work.

    Enquiry sent but I don't expect them anything. I'll try using them online.

    • unity1 on 14/11/2024 - 01:13

      I can no longer add any ultimate gift cards to my Apple wallet anymore. No one has been able to provide a solution. Both apple support and Ultumate Giff card support are useless.

      • Dollar Dreamer on 14/11/2024 - 01:23

        I didn't know you could add Ultimate gift card to your Apply account and use it as cash everywhere. Is it true? I thought it can only be spent at the dedicated stores mentioned.

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 01:33

      If your Ultimate gift card had sufficient balance when you attempted the transaction, my bet is that the Boost Juice location you were at updated/replaced the EFTPOS terminal without telling Blackhawk Network (the operator of the Ultimate gift card scheme). From what I gather, Blackhawk Network looks for unique identifiers reported by the EFTPOS terminal to determine whether you are trying to transact at a participating retailer. If a Boost Juice EFTPOS terminal is updated/replaced and Blackhawk Network does not recognise the new unique identifiers, they will decline the transaction. I wonder whether your gift card would have worked at another EFTPOS terminal at the same Boost Juice location.

      This has happened before with other participating retailers, and sending an enquiry to Blackhawk Network is the right thing to do, but who knows how long it will take to fix this (if it does get fixed).

      Btw, I am doubtful that Ultimate gift cards actually work on the Boost app, but it is always worth a shot.

    Does anyone know if you can exchange multiple TCN cards into a single gift card on their website? I want to buy $3k worth of cards to spend at JB, but don’t particularly want to bring in 30+ cards to use in store.

    • tekisei on 14/11/2024 - 10:11
      +5

      The last 3 occasions I used TCN I could barely exchange one TCN card for a voucher cause their website redemption page is always broken. Keep having to email them to get a direct redemption link.

      JB are usually pretty happy to do 20+ cards, just go in the morning/midday on a weekday so its not a busy time. Exchanging the cards 1:1 for vouchers already saves a lot of time for the staff since it's just scan and you don't have to input PIN and wait for authorisation.

      Fixed denomination Ultimate gift cards sold at BIG W are available in $30, $50 and $100 denominations, but not all Ultimate gift cards are sold in these denominations. For example:

      • Ultimate Home gift cards should only be sold in $50 and $100 denominations.

      • Ultimate Students gift cards should only be sold in $30 and $50 denominations.

    Is it possible to use multiple ultimate cards at Ikea online in a single transaction? Anyone tried?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 10:40
      +1

      If you have a look at the FAQ page linked in the deal description, there is a FAQ that addresses your question.

      In short:

      • You cannot redeem any Ultimate gift cards on the IKEA website, because IKEA does not accept them as a payment method online. (You can only use them in-store or exchange them through the Ultimate gift card website for digital IKEA gift cards.)

      • Someone previously said they redeemed 188 IKEA gift cards in online transaction, but some other people have talked about running into random errors when trying to redeem multiple IKEA gift cards online.

      • xrailgun on 14/11/2024 - 11:18

        "You can only use them in-store or exchange them through the Ultimate gift card website for digital IKEA gift cards."

        Do you know if this can combine multiple Ultimate GCs into one big Ikea GC?

        • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 11:26
          +1

          The Ultimate gift card exchange portal should only let you exchange one Ultimate gift card at a time. That means:

          • You can exchange one Ultimate gift card for one IKEA gift card.

          • You can exchange one Ultimate gift card for multiple IKEA gift cards (or multiple IKEA and JB Hi-Fi gift cards, as an example).

          • You cannot consolidate multiple Ultimate gift cards into one IKEA gift card.

          The only way you can attempt to consolidate multiple Ultimate gift cards into one IKEA gift card is at an IKEA store (and I have no idea whether IKEA staff will let you do this).

            @WookieMonster: Thanks. I'm planning to get a big bunch of PAX wardrobes with the upcoming 15% deal. I might have to plan online, then bring the design code in-store and pay (with GCs) in-store? Has anyone done this before?

        I used 14 $50 GCs from IKEA a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't aware that self-checkout has to be done by staff, but he was polite enough to let me swipe 14 cards.

    Is pocket money like a debit card? Does that mean I get 15% off real money?

  • Pripri on 14/11/2024 - 09:42

    So you buy a gift card for 100$ and it has 110$ value?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 09:51
      +4

      No.

      For Ultimate gift cards, if you scan a $100 gift card, you will only need to pay $90.

      For Apple / Uber gift cards, if you scan your Everyday Rewards card and a $100 gift card, you will need to pay $100, you will earn 2000 Everyday Rewards points (equivalent to $10 in Everyday Rewards Dollars or 1000 Qantas points).

      For the Pocket Money gift cards, if you scan the gift card and load $75 on it, you will need to pay $75 + a $5.95 purchase fee. You will need to claim the 15% cashback separately by filling out a claim form (but the claim form appears to not exist at the moment).

    • tekisei on 14/11/2024 - 10:08

      Big W has had +10% value offers before, but this one is 10% off which is better.

      +10% value => cost 100 / value 110 = 0.909 (9.1% off)
      10% off => cost 90 / value 100 = 0.9 (10% off)

    Can i use the Ultimate giftcards online at JB?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 10:57
      +1

      Yes, you can redeem them at the regular JB Hi-Fi website (jbhifi.com.au), because the Ultimate gift card says you can. The FAQ page linked in the deal description has a FAQ that specifically addresses your question (and it highlights the limitations you should be aware of).

      One thing I will point out is that Ultimate gift cards probably do not work on the various JB Hi-Fi commercial portals (e.g. JB Hi-Fi Business, JB Hi-Fi Solutions).

  • goff09 on 14/11/2024 - 11:01

    Are Birthday, Celebrate and Everyone Identical? And they would be the pick of the bunch correct?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 11:08
      +1

      The Birthday, Celebrate, Just For You and Thank You gift cards are identical. They are not identical to the Everyone gift card.

      Those five gift cards are probably the most comprehensive gift cards in the Ultimate gift card family, but whether they are the pick of the bunch depends on the participating retailers you are interested in. For example, if you are looking for a gift card that can be used at Schnitz, Xbox, Xbox Game Pass or yd, those five gift cards are useless, because they do not feature those participating retailers.

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 13:56
      +1

      Blackhawk Network will not let you merge multiple Ultimate gift cards into one. Whether you can merge multiple Ultimate gift cards into one retailer-specific gift card is up to that participating retailer.

      If you have a look at the related FAQ for Officeworks (which is linked in the deal description), you will see that someone a few weeks ago redeemed 37 Ultimate gift cards in one in-store transaction at Officeworks.

      • swakarma on 14/11/2024 - 14:06

        Thanks for the response. Ultimate giftcard offered to merge all 12 card as one off thing but have to wait for 3-5 business days. I guess I will call into my nearest officeworks and see if they will let me use my 12 gift card or I will wait for Ultimate gift card team to merge them all. :)

        • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 14:08

          You are lucky, because when I asked the Blackhawk Network / Ultimate gift card customer service team a while ago about merging gift cards, they flat out said no! (Hence my skepticism.)

            @WookieMonster: I think that's the case because the first customer service representative was new and seemed confused and promised to merge everything for me. However, when I was transferred to another representative, they explained that they typically don’t offer that but would make an exception since the first representative had promised it

    Can you use category grocery gift card to pay?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 18:31

      No.

      • BIG W should be assigned MCC 5331 (Variety Stores), which is not one of the officially permitted MCCs listed on the Category Choice website for this gift card.

      • I tried to use a Category Choice Groceries gift card in-store at BIG W not long ago, but it was declined with response code 01 (Contact Bank), and the gift card had sufficient balance. It worked fine at Woolworths just now though.

  • CVonC on 14/11/2024 - 13:59

    What's the highest Pocket Money denomination? And can you use that to then pay for the Ultimate card?

    • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 14:04

      There is only one denomination sold at BIG W: a $25-$75 variable load denomination with a $5.95 purchase fee.

      I have never heard any reports of BIG W automatically rejecting a DigitalCash card when you are wanting to purchase an Ultimate gift card.

      • CVonC on 14/11/2024 - 14:12

        Hmm so potentially $5.30 off $75 equating to about 7.1%. $30 + $50 Ultimate cards should be good then?

        • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 14:19
          +2

          Actually, you should get $12 “cashback” (i.e. a $12 bonus Pocket Money gift card) on a $75 Pocket Money gift card, because in past “cashback” offers (e.g. this one from August 2024), MicroGifts rounded the “cashback” up to the next whole dollar. If that happens again for this deal, it will slightly change your calculations.

          Ultimate gift cards are not sold in a $75 fixed denomination, but you can do split payments when purchasing gift cards at BIG W (even at a self checkout, just like Woolworths).

          • CVonC on 14/11/2024 - 21:27

            @WookieMonster: How does MicroGifts check whether you're eligible for cashback if the form doesn't ask you to submit your Big W receipt?

            Do they match the mobile number with the one attached to your Everyday Rewards account?

            • WookieMonster on 14/11/2024 - 21:55
              +6

              @CVonC: No. This deal does not require an Everyday Rewards card. I purchased one during the August 2024 deal and did not scan an Everyday Rewards card during the transaction, but I still received the bonus gift card. There is also no mention in the catalogue of needing to use an Everyday Rewards card for the current deal.

              MicroGifts should have an easy time figuring out whether you are eligible, because:

              • The claim form requires you to provide your name, mobile number and email address of your MicroGifts account.
              • The claim form basically tells you to add your Pocket Money gift card to your MicroGifts account prior to submitting the claim.

              When MicroGifts look at your account, they would be able to see the Pocket Money gift cards linked to your account, and they should be able to see information on when and where each of these gift cards were purchased, because MicroGifts should be able to access the gift card activation system for Pocket Money gift cards. If they see a Pocket Money gift card linked to your account that was purchased during the promotional period at BIG W, that should be sufficient for them to deem you eligible for "cashback".

                • WookieMonster on 26/11/2024 - 16:30

                  @bluestick: The cashback claim page says:

                  All claims are to be submitted by December 11, 2024.

                  Bonus gifts cards will be sent by email within 14 days of final claim submission date.

                  In other words, you definitely will not receive the bonus gift card on or before 11 Dec. You should receive the bonus gift card between 12 Dec and 25 Dec.
