    Was buying a couple of gift cards from Coles the other day for presents, and when the guy came over to approve it, he asked me “is someone asking you to pay them in gift cards?”

    • BargainGain on 21/12/2024 - 06:53

      Yep they ask me that all the time. Scammers often ask for payment in gift cards. I always pay them in cash, just to annoy them.

        I don’t pay the scammers at all just to annoy them even further 😁

  • alterego13 on 20/12/2024 - 21:11

    Possible to pay for Apple Care+ with gift cards?
    For iPad 10, if that matters.
    iPad bought from Officeworks on 30th Nov. Haven't started using it yet.

    • rpb on 20/12/2024 - 21:14

      Only if you go instore to an Apple Store and use the cards without redeaming them into your Apple account

      • alterego13 on 20/12/2024 - 21:17

        I can do that.
        I believe there is a time-frame it needs to be done by? Purchase date or iPad activation date? And I would need to have the iPad with me for the genius to inspect?
        Sorry, I'm just lazy right now. Pretty sure answers to these will be found on Apple website?

              @alterego13: It’s funny I’d say they don’t write it up clearly because they don’t want to you to buy AppleCare+ at a discount but they are really generous of warranties so I dunno.
              Eg i took my daughter’s iPad in today as she had a small crack in here screen. I didn’t want it to get bad and have her cut herself. Ready to pay the $65 fee for replacement. The Genius said wait the home button is a bit ‘clicks’ we’ll replace this for free because of that.

              • alterego13 on 20/12/2024 - 21:28

                @rpb: That's good to know.
                It's my daughter's iPad too, for school next year. So I'm expecting some bumps/cracks etc.

        You can redeem them into your Apple Account and use it via Apple Pay in store.

    • rpb on 20/12/2024 - 21:17

      Oh and you only have a certain time period to buy AppleCare+ after it is first activated so don’t start it up until closer to the date of this sale

      Check one of the previous Apple GC deal - there was a pretty comprehensive discussion on this topic.

      TL;DR Yes

      • alterego13 on 20/12/2024 - 22:02

        Ok, thanks.
        I did post this question before in one of the threads but the offer was expired so not many people responded.

    • WookieMonster on 20/12/2024 - 23:20

      Yes, you can only do this if you go to a physical Apple Store with your iPad. A staff member will need to inspect the device for existing damage before allowing you to purchase AppleCare+.

      You can pay in one of two ways:

      1. Take the unredeemed physical gift cards in with you and use them as the payment method.

      2. Redeem your physical gift cards onto your Apple Account Associated Balance, then use an iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later using the same Apple Account to pay via contactless on your Apple Wallet. (I believe you can also use an Apple Watch to do this as well.)

      I took my MacBook Pro in a week ago to a physical Apple Store and paid for AppleCare+ using option 2 with my iPhone. (The staff member actually specifically asked me whether I wanted to use my Apple Account Associated Balance to pay for AppleCare+, and I had not said anything about doing that at that stage.)

      • alterego13 on 21/12/2024 - 00:12
        +1

        Thanks @WookieMonster for explaining in detail. Much appreciated.
        I will be using option 1 for sure. Not an iPhone user. Only iOS devices we have is an iPad Pro (for work) and the new iPad 10 for the school.

        • Lululuke on 16/01/2025 - 16:14

          @alterego13 and @WookieMonster, I was at an Apple store yesterday and asked about Applecare with Education Discount. I was told then that I could get Applecare with the 20% off education discount in store only AFTER the initial 7 day complimentary Applecare had expired. The could not to the 20% within that 7-day time period. Is this your understanding of how that works?

          • alterego13 on 16/01/2025 - 19:36

            @Lululuke: I had no idea about education discount on Apple Care+ so thank you for bringing it to my attention! haha! Sorry I don't have an answer to your question though as I have not yet purchased the AC+ but will mostly be doing it this weekend if I go to the city (nearest apple store). My 30 day window is closing fast!

          • WookieMonster on 16/01/2025 - 20:13
            +1

            @Lululuke: The Apple Store staff member was correct.

            One of the recommendations from the Banking Royal Commission (2017-2019) was to introduce a deferred sales model for add-on insurance, because the Royal Commission was concerned about evidence it uncovered of unfair sales practices and poor-value products in this sector. In response, ASIC introduced a regulatory requirement where there must be a minimum four-day waiting period before you are "offered"1 or are sold add-on insurance for a product you have purchased.

            AppleCare+ is considered add-on insurance, which is the reason you cannot purchase it at the same time as your Apple device (e.g. Mac, iPad, iPhone) in Australia. In response, Apple decided to provide complimentary AppleCare+ for seven days for new Apple devices in Australia. You cannot have multiple concurrent AppleCare+ plans applied to the same device, which is the reason you need to wait for the complimentary AppleCare+ coverage to end before you purchase AppleCare+.

            1. In this case, "offered" only refers to requests or invitations to the customer to ask for, apply for, or purchase an add-on insurance product. Complimentary AppleCare+ for seven days does not fall under this definition, because Apple provides this complimentary coverage automatically, no questions asked. ↩

          • alterego13 on 18/01/2025 - 16:08

            @Lululuke: So, I just bought AppleCare+ with the education discount. Paid by gift card. In store.
            I bought the iPad back in November from Officeworks. Activated the iPad on 28th Dec., so had 30 days from then to buy AC+

  • Azro on 20/12/2024 - 22:05

    Did anyone pay with gift cards for additional services like battery replacement? I guess there shouldn't be any problems with that, just checking.

    • maverickrulz on 20/12/2024 - 22:32

      Once you load them up to your Apple account, I don't see why not.

    • WookieMonster on 20/12/2024 - 23:25
      +2

      I paid for a screen replacement at a physical Apple Store last year using three Apple gift cards. The staff member had to use a device to scan the redemption code on each gift card to redeem them.

      Nowadays, paying using an Apple Account Associated Balance via a compatible iPhone (or Apple Watch, I think) should also work.

  • nonoannie on 01/01/2025 - 14:35

    If i purchased more than 5 cards in a day ( 2 different stores), does anyone know if I can still get the bouns flybuy points?

    • Azro on 02/01/2025 - 14:21

      Nope. "A purchase limit of 5 cards per customer per day applies". Must buy on separate days to get points.

      • doodlejones on 03/01/2025 - 10:27

        Purchase limit is 5 but pts limit is 50,000, so I don't see a problem if pts adds up to 50,000 or less

        • nonoannie on 04/01/2025 - 14:43

          I just received the extra flybuy for both transaction, so its ok to purchase more than 5 a day.

  • nonoannie on 02/01/2025 - 17:25

    I got two tampered Apple $100 gift cards from Coles Top Ryde yesterday.

    • Deraksyd on 03/01/2025 - 17:56

      Same here, just got a tampered variable load card and coles staff was not helpful at all. No more apple card from now on.

  • whozmr on 02/01/2025 - 18:32

    how long does it take for flybuy to track the 20x points?
    I bought it yesterday for $1400, and it only tracks 1400 points.

        Thank you. I bought the variable load GCs, so it should be okay since they are shown in the picture.

            @gt-chuah: I got bonus points on one account but not on another. Purchased at the same time.

  • powerhead on 02/01/2025 - 20:24

    Are purchases paid with Apple account balance eligible for cashback from CR or TCB?

    Payment with gift cards are specifically mentioned on both sites, but nothing I could find on account balance.

      Use topcashback. Got 2% cashback today tracked after I collected. I used the topcashback web browser on my phone. Paid fully with Apple gift cards from this deal also got the education union price. & plan to claim another 10% back on trs :)

      • powerhead on 06/01/2025 - 23:20

        Almost exactly what I've just done. Does apple provide hard copy tax invoice with order or is it via email only?

        • Bonesaw321 on 06/01/2025 - 23:33

          email only. but its enough to claim trs as it has their abn & your name on it

  • MangoJ on 04/01/2025 - 12:33

    I was a bit suspicious if it makes any difference by scanning the Flybuys card in the mobile app or swiping the physical card. The catalog says “…when you swipe your flybuys card at checkout.”
    Will see if the bonus points are appearing next week.

    • WookieMonster on 04/01/2025 - 12:49
      +2

      Coles and Flybuys have no way of knowing whether you scanned a digital or physical Flybuys card.

      The barcode on a physical Flybuys card is exactly the same as the one on the back of a Coles Mastercard credit card, the one shown in the Flybuys app, the one stored on Apple Wallet, the one stored on Stocard, etc.

      In past gift card deals at Coles, I have scanned a physical Flybuys card or the one shown from the Flybuys app or the one stored on Stocard, and they have all earned me standard and bonus Flybuys points from those deals.

      Also, you do not swipe your Flybuys card to add it a transaction whilst at a Coles checkout, because that suggests you need to swipe a physical Flybuys card through a card reader of some sort. AFAIK, the magstripe on a physical Flybuys card can only be used when you want to redeem Flybuys Dollars in an eligible transaction.

  • Andy Nguyen on 06/01/2025 - 13:07

    is the variable loads qualified for this promotion?

  • melbournian5 on 06/01/2025 - 18:40

    Yes. But be careful, I bought a variable card and it was tampered too.

    • Bonesaw321 on 06/01/2025 - 22:22

      Bought a few over past few months zero issues. Lucky to not have to deal with that nightmare. I just instantly upload my credit to my account.

  • Ozdealfindervm on 07/01/2025 - 14:27

    I can see we can only apply 8 gift cards on the website while ordering. How many gift cards can you apply in store?

    • WookieMonster on 07/01/2025 - 15:16

      Staff in-store have previously told me I could redeem a maximum of 20 Apple gift cards for each in-store transaction. The Apple website confirms this.

      Alternatively, you can redeem your Apple gift cards into your Apple Account Associated Balance, then use an iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later (or ab Apple Watch, AFAIK) to redeem your Apple Account Associated Balance via Apple Pay. I am not aware of any limits for your Apple Account Associated Balance, other than having a maximum of A$4,999 per account.

      • awaiko on 13/01/2025 - 14:29

        You are the Gift Card whisperer - given that this deal has expired, do you have a prediction on when the next Apple gift card deal might (likely) be?
