  • Painful site finally got through after having a queue to nothing about 10 times.

    Love GC = Love Gold Coast

    • +5

      NOT Love Gift Card as i thought it was

      • and this detail would be better in the title…
        save some of us a click to see that

      • +1

        = Love Gold Cards?

      • Same. Someone wanted to confuse us and didn't like that I mentioned GC = Gold Coast haha

  • When it says it can be used at the Star Casino, does anyone know if you can use it at Harvest Buffet? (restaurant within the casino) Kids love going, but with a family of 7.. its a bit expensive at full price!

    • +3

      I think you can. I also bought the gift card for Harvest Buffet and stack it with the NRMA discount (Buy 1 get 1 free up to $70)

      • +4

        What about roulette?

      • +1

        THANKYOU!.. probably worth a shot… I didnt know about the NRMA discount.. I have Home and Contents with NRMA.. I'll check it out! fingers crossed!

    • +2

      It's not clear at all on the website what the card can and can't be spent on.
      I'd like to know if it can be used for buy food inside GC venues such as Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, GC Aqua Park and Village Roadshow Theme Parks or limited to being put towards the entrance fees.

    • +1

      I’m curious so see if anyone has success with this. The Star shows up as a participating business but when you search the deals it only references a $99pp share menu at Kiyomi so not sure if that is your only option or just one thing they suggesting.

      • +3

        If you go here and filter by Food & Drink, the first option mentions Harvest Buffet Love GC for 2 $99 - Dinner Monday to Thursday or Lunch weekend

        • "Book online reference LOVE GC and redeem card in person."

          Do I just add "LOVE GC" to the comments section when booking on the website?

          • @donman92: Have not done it myself, but I would assume so. Give them a call if you want to be sure.

    • -1

      When a gift card says it can be used at a casino and your first thought is using it at a restaurant inside? Need to hand over your ozb badge lol.

  • Is this just a skinned prepaid Mastercard?

    • No, you essentially get sent a code to redeem $100 off specific deals around the Gold Coast, listed on the website. At least that's how the Love GC Dreamworld voucher worked

    • Yes it is unless you purchase the dreamworld voucher

  • I didn't think you could limit creditcards to individual businesses?

    I thought you could only limit via MCC codes?

    • +5

      You can limit prepaid gift cards to specific businesses. There are already multiple multi-retailer gift cards out there, including:

      • TCN multi-retailer gift cards (HOME, KIDS, SHOP).
      • Ultimate gift cards.
      • Special gift cards (the versions with a merchant’s brand on it, e.g. JB Hi-Fi, Ritchies IGA, Woolworths).

      You could always try to use the prepaid gift card in this deal at a retailer not listed on the LOVE GC website, but keep in mind the following I found in the gift card terms and conditions:

      If a claimant attempts to make a purchase at a non-participating merchant using their LOVE GC Card, a fee in the amount of $0.10 will be deducted from the total balance of the LOVE GC Card. This fee will be deducted for each unsuccessful purchase at a non-participating merchant.

      • Thanks, i always thought those cards were just grouped into a couple of similar MCCs

        Not individual business identifiers.

        • +5

          Those sorts of gift cards use other information reported by the EFTPOS terminal to determine whether you are at a participating retailer.1

          This gift card only works when there is a high degree of collaboration between the participating business and the card retailer. It means - for example - if a participating business uses an EFTPOS terminal they forget to tell the card issuer about, the issuer will think the card is being used at a non-participating retailer and will decline the transaction (and for this gift card, charge you $0.10).


          1. This is discussed in more detail here, and I suspect the information being used to identify the business would include the merchant name and EFTPOS terminal ID. For example, it would be easy for Woolworths, because they report the store name and number in the merchant name, plus they report the terminal number as W + <store number> + <checkout number>, e.g. W2628062 would be checkout 062 at Woolworths Chermside Central in Brisbane. 

    • Technically you could, but in reality it is exceedingly hard (esp when the list is large) to the point that is not practical. There are many shopping centre gift cards that are like that.

    I see no buy button rn.

    • Me neither, tried a couple different browsers.

        Maybe get ozbargained

        • Love GC has been slammed ever since it opened at 9am. There were roughly 3000 people in line at 11am.

          • +1

            @AusRetro: It's strange I was there 9-30 - no line smooth transaction

      • Got it now. You need to wait for long time to let the subpage popping up.

        edit: Just got the email.

        Thank you for your purchase!

        We’re processing your order now. Please allow for up to 4 hours for your card to be delivered as an SMS to the mobile number you provided.

        • Might be easier for others to call Experience Gold Coast directly.

  • +1

    I wonder if you can book a stay through Accor and use this to pay at the property?

    • Isnt there an easier way to get $50 off?

  • +1

    Can we combine cards with friends in one purchase?

  • Either the app they’re using to distribute these cards or the account creation is broken

  • +2

    Has anyone had the app working? The SMS code never arrives.

    • +1

      Yes, arrived about 45mins later lol

    • +2

      Received the SMS and email advised the GC is ready. However when create the account, the verification code never arrived (no matter from email or SMS).

      • +2

        Same here, haven't received anything since 5 hours. Called them and they said system is broken and to try in the morning 🤷‍♂️

        • The app's verification codes are still not working for me today.

          • @xsacha: Still not working for me today. Funnily enough, a family member bought one after I did and has had no problem receiving the verification codes, and was able to access their card yesterday.

            • @declancoyle: Still not working here either. I bought 2 and can't access them

              • @xsacha: Check your junk

                • @Jamesk811: I finally received both gift cards just now (2pm for first one, 5:05pm for second one).

                  I bought them with the same phone number and they both appear in the app with the same login (swipe left/right to switch between).

                  • @xsacha: How long after you paid did they arrive? I’m still waiting and it’s been 24 hours. I thought you can only get 1 per number? When I tried it didn’t let me

                    • @Jamesk811: Over 4 days for me

                      Yes, it's meant to be only one per number but for some reason when I went to the site looking for answers, I noticed the 1 per account thing was removed. I bought another and it worked.

                      Just confirmed it no longer looks at phone number when I'm buying it (on my phone at least). I just change email and use the same phone number. I just bought a third one.

                  • @xsacha: How did you get around the '1 per phone number' condition?

                    • @gil: There appears to be no such restriction. At least on my phone.

    • no working +1

  • Paid using Apple Pay, don’t appear to have been charged any transaction fees.

    • Same with google pay for me

    • I dont think there is actually a transaction fee as there are lots of bullshits in the T&Cs.

  • So my family has 3 vouchers now. Would love to hear thoughts on the best use of these. I was thinking to use for locals lite Movieworld/SeaWorld/wetnwild passes but weirdly the website shows the usual price, not sure if the discount is applied later - did anyone buy these with their voucher and know what the final price is?

    • +1

      Have you already activated the voucher from the app as instructed? I couldn't do that. I think the vouchers are applied during the checkout.

      • I haven’t activated yet. But also haven’t tried to use it yet. I think I’ll wait until we’re ready to visit the park within the 3 months- or is that dumb?

  • +1

    @morse I experimented earlier. If you start from https://vrlovegc.themeparks.com.au/en, the checkout allows the use of 1 Love GC card and then pay the rest as normal (CC). It will need 3 individual checkouts to use all 3 gift cards.

    • +1

      That’s what I figured, I think I’m good… I think it works out to bring the locals lite pass down to $89 (or $139 after voucher cost). We’re locals, so seems like good value. Just wanted to see if anyone had actually bought yet or had other better suggestions for use. We’re a family of 3, so basically one discounted pass each.

  • +3

    Double stack Accor plus 50% off dining and this card to pay?

    • Does it work with any retailer on the GC though?

      • +1

        Sofitel Gold Coast, Novotel etc. Just used it at iFly but manually entered, Apple Wallet didn’t work

        • Have you used the gift card for dining at any of the accor properties while using your accorplus discount?

          • +2

            @darktiger: Yes it works, just did this but it was a pain for Accor staff to process the Love GC, it’s an absolute sh*tshow. The whole Love GC gift card is swamped with errors and bugs

            • @UberIsCool: Thanks for the update! What restaurant did you use it at and what did they have to do to process payment?

  • Same here also received the SMS and email advising the GC is ready. However when trying to creat the new account verification code never works where rather be it via email or mobile ..don’t know whats going on ..

    • On the same boat here, rang the number and they said the system has crashed and to try in the morning.

  • Don't forget you can checkout with the Good Food, Restaurant/ Cafe Choice or TCN Pamper gift card

    MCC 7011

    • +1

      Are you saying you can buy the Gold Coast gift card with the cards you mentioned? If so, do you know the best discount going for those cards?

      • +2

        Yes it is MCC 7011

        Usually you would stock up in advance when they are on special at Colesworth e.g. 15% off, 10% off, 20x points

        not sure what the best discount is on but it wouldn't be worth it to buy them now to get this deal… lots of people have bought the GC but haven't received and who knows might be sold out so not worth the risk

    • +1

      Just tried to purchase with the TCN Pamper and can confirm it didn't work/was declined.

      • What mcc did you get and do you have sufficient funds?

        • The iPhone app doesnt show the MCC, plenty of funds.

          • @JordanM: Yeah it doesn't like apple pay

            • @Poor Ass: Tried to purchase via both Apple Pay and direct with the card details… would definitely suggest the MCC isn’t 7011

  • +5

    Anyone not get it sent? been 12hours so far…

    Please allow for up to 4 hours for your card to be delivered as an SMS to the mobile number you provided.

    Not receive the GC yet….

    • Just received the text message and asked me to install an app and create an account. However, could not receive the verification code

      • Same, nothing coming to mobile

      • Yep same, no code yet

      • Their server is 100% broken at the moment lol.

      • we are on the same boat. shall we press resend?

        • I’ve been pressing resend constantly, nothing

      • Same here.

  • Did the list for business participants just get bigger?

  • +3

    My gift card just got suspended from my Apple Wallet. Did anyone else have this happen?

    • Same here

    • Yep same here.

    • Same here

  • Just got a notification saying that my card can no longer be used in ApplePay. Checked the app and it says “Status changed from AC to IA” with a big Activate button on the card now.. anyone else?

  • Same here , went to the app, ask activation code to active gift card, but it not provided.

  • Same, card is suspended and logged in the app, it asks for activation code…

  • "We'll be back soon!" is all you get after waiting in a queue of 4 people. What is going on?…

  • +3

    I've bought 2 cards but cannot access them still. Anyone else feeling this wasn't worth it?

  • +1

    scam?

  • +7

    For those with suspended card in Apple or Google Wallets.
    The following worked for me and I was able to reactivate the card.
    Go into the Help & Support section (top right corner) within the app and towards the bottom of the Help & Support section you will see your EAID code. This code is your activation code.
