    1) Is the cashback instant back to your account? Or do you need to accumulate it and can only withdraw once you hit a certain amount?

    2) Can you use Groceries to buy at Woolies GC Portal online (eg RACQ discounts)?

    • Neoika on 10/12/2024 - 14:32

      Close to instant, redeem in $10 each time. So spend in a $100 increment.

      Can you use Groceries to buy at Woolies GC Portal online (eg RACQ discounts)?

      No.

      The Woolworths Group gift card portal should use MCC 5399 (Miscellaneous General Merchandise Store).

      Even if the Woolworths Group gift card portal used MCC 5411 or MCC 5499, the portal would reject the grocery gift card as a payment method. A full explanation can be found here (and yes, this linked FAQ is for the now-defunct ShopBack Supermarket Visa gift card, but it would behave in the same way as the grocery gift card in this deal, because both are MCC-restricted prepaid gift cards that operate on the Visa network).

      • nned2say on 10/12/2024 - 17:28

        Hi WookieMonster, do you know if Cole’s Group & Myer Gift card can be used to buy gift cards at Cole’s, like TCN or Ultimate Gift Card? Thank you.

        • WookieMonster on 10/12/2024 - 17:31

          It should be blocked by Coles’ checkouts with an Invalid Product Mix error as soon as you swipe or scan your gift card.

        • Chatgpttrue on 10/12/2024 - 17:34

          (https://www.coles.com.au/help/gift-cards)

          Coles Gift Cards are not redeemable on Coles Online or at Coles Express or Liquorland. Not redeemable for cash or payments of credit or store accounts. Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase Gift Cards.

    10% off Groceries Gift Card is good. And zip has reduced the redemption threshold for cashback to $10.

        Groceries Gift Cards can be used at the following merchant category locations: Grocery Stores & Supermarkets (5411) Miscellaneous Food Stores(5499)

        According to link below, Aldi MCC (5411), maybe can use at 7-Eleven (5499) as well

    Can we use it to purchase stuffs from all retailers stores ?

    • BargainsGrabber on 10/12/2024 - 14:35

      As long as it’s one of the accepted merchant categories

    • pineapplepears on 10/12/2024 - 14:35

      "This card can be used at select merchant categories where Visa prepaid is accepted in Australia."

      I was deep diving trying to figure this out too, from what I can tell, it seems to act as any other normal VISA prepaid giftcard.

      • Dannn11 on 10/12/2024 - 14:42

        Idk should we pull trigger lol

    • WookieMonster on 10/12/2024 - 14:48

      You can use a Zip Visa Groceries gift card or Zip Visa Department Store gift card at any merchants using the Merchant Category Codes listed on the website listed in the gift card terms and conditions section of the Zip website, as long as the merchant chooses to accept prepaid Visa gift cards as a payment method.

      For example, you can use a Zip Visa Groceries gift card at:

      • MCC 5411 - Grocery Stores, Supermarkets
      • MCC 5499 - Miscellaneous Food Stores

      The MCC is something that is allocated to a merchant by the merchant’s payments provider, which means Blackhawk Network (the gift card scheme owner) has no control over the MCC used by a merchant.

      However, whether a merchant accepts a Zip Visa Groceries gift card is up to them. For example, if you go to Woolworths and try to use a Zip Visa Groceries gift card to purchase a Vanilla Visa gift card, you may have a staff member stop you from doing this if they decide they do not like this.

      • Moo Deng on 10/12/2024 - 15:33

        So you should be able to use this to pay for Woolies Gift card in store at Woolies in that case right?

        • WookieMonster on 10/12/2024 - 16:17

          I am not sure.

          The Zip Visa Groceries gift card confusing refers to both Category Choice and Incentives gift cards, so I do not know which one the Zip Visa Groceries gift card belongs to.

          • If the gift card is a rebranded Category Choice gift card, you cannot use it to purchase a gift card issued by Woolworths Group (e.g. Everyday WISH gift card), because Woolworths blocks Category Choice gift cards as payment methods for any gift cards issued by Woolworths Group.

          • If the gift card is a rebranded Incentives gift card, I have no idea.

        … which means you can (probably) use this gift card to purchase a physical 7-Eleven gift card from a 7-Eleven inner-city standalone convenience store, then use that physical 7-Eleven gift card to pay for fuel at a 7-Eleven service station.

  • Orbilf on 10/12/2024 - 14:59

    Does anyone know if the department one can be used for 99bikes or trek bicycle?

    • WookieMonster on 10/12/2024 - 15:07

      I cannot find a webpage on the Incentives gift card website for anything regarding the Department Store gift card.

      The Incentives gift card scheme is almost identical to the Category Choice gift card scheme (which is probably half the reason the Zip website confusingly refers to both gift card schemes). If you look at the Category Choice website, it says the permitted MCCs on that Department Store gift card are:

      Pharmacies (MCC 5912), Department Stores (MCC 5311), Variety Stores (MCC 5331), Hardware Stores (MCC 5251), Men and Women’s Fashion Shops (MCC 5611, MCC 5621), Electronic Stores (MCC 5732), Book Stores (MCC 5942) or Sporting Goods (MCC 5941).

      When I made a transaction on the 99 Bikes website last year, it returned an MCC of 5940 (Bicycle Shops: Sales and Service). That MCC is not on the list of permitted MCCs, which means there is a very good chance the gift card will be declined at 99 Bikes.

      I have no idea about Trek Bicycle, but you would think they would use MCC 5940 as well.

            @WookieMonster: Thank you! Wookiemonster!

            BTW, have you seen any report that using grocery visa (Apple Pay) to purchase gc at Coles that payment was approved and money deducted but the GC activation fail/declined?
            It has happened to me 3 times in last few weeks, wonder if that grocery visa payment method triggered it, or just my bad luck?

              @li1123k: That happened to me last weekend, but it was the first time in many transactions that has happened to me.

              I would chalk it up to bad luck.

                @WookieMonster: Yeah it’s very odd, working in the morning but failed last night.
                Do you normally get the store to refund you straight away or call their customer service to lodge a case?

                • WookieMonster on 10/12/2024 - 17:28

                  @li1123k: When it happened to me on the weekend, the staff member at the self checkout took my gift card and receipt, and called the Customer Service Manager to fix the issue. (I did not ask to see the manager or for a refund or anything like that!)

                  The manager issued a refund back onto my Groceries gift card, and credit from the refund turned up on my Groceries gift card today.

                    @WookieMonster: My experience is that only very few experienced staff or manager will refund you on spot, night shift staff will ask you to come back the day time to see manager or call their customer service to lodge a case for instruction.

    Looks like you can only redeem $120 of cashback balance towards your zip pay balance in any 24 hours.
    I purchased 3x $500, which is $150 cashback and only had $120 gone straight to zip pay balance.
    There is a $30 cashback balance I am unable to redeem, just sitting there at the moment.
    Took me a while to figure it out why.

      There's still the shell gift card with 12% cashback, you can use that to buy a coles/myer gift card via Coles/Reddy Express

        Brilliant! I was about to suggest getting the department store card to get 10% off Coles Myer GC at Myer.

        Thanks is the shell gift card confirmed to work for in store purchases of gift cards at coles express?

          I just did it. Used it to buy Coles Group &Myer gift card

            @rpb: What denominations do they have? Hopefully get 1 $500 coles gc. Assume the shell gc can be loaded to a digital wallet and pay just like any credit card

              @sub102: It's variable. You tell them.
              What I did:
              Purchase from Zip app
              Get email
              Click link to get card details
              Add card to Apple Pay using details
              Get Coles Group & Myer Gift Card off hanger
              Ask for it to be $100
              Pay with Apple Pay

              This was on some new fancy buttonless eftpos machine that I had not seen before.
