  • After factoring the loss on potential 5% gift card discount on $160 spend at woolies, then that's like $32 profit…. Hardly worth it

    • Where did you get that 5% from?

      • You can get 5% as long as you have a Seniors card

          *NSW or VIC Seniors card.

          Seniors cardholders in other parts of Australia cannot access that offer.

        • -1

          Where do you get a seniors card if you are under 65

          • @Tleyx: You can try applying, but I've heard they hold your application for a couple of decades normally.

          • @Tleyx:

            Where do you get a seniors card if you are under 65

            In NSW a Seniors Card or Senior Savers Card is available from 60yo onwards providing you meet the criteria. The Senior Savers card is somewhat useless (IMO).
            IIRC, they issue them within a reasonable time frame.

            https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-a-nsw-s…

            If you think about the Seniors Card criteria you wonder how they could check compliance with those criteria.

  • I know it says cash out payment excluded, but if i went to Woolies to cash out $200, would the bank know the purchase was mixed with a cash out? Or does it count as a full purchase?

    • +1

      It doesn't work as cashout payment as it will be an EFTPOS run and not using VISA network.

      • I see.. what if I bought the Ultimate Gift Cards GC when they’ve got bonus pts? Would that count since it’s not a cash out? Does Coles mask it as a purchase??

        • +1

          It would be considered a purchase since the transaction would hit visa as a purchase. What you bought doesn't get passed on to the scheme

  • I just signed up for this deal, which qualified me to apply for reduced rate Amplify Qantas Signature credit card. With the reduced annual fee, the credit card will cost $150 + $75 Qantas program fee. In return, there is a signup bonus of 90k Qantas points in the first year and 30k in year two plus two invites to Qantas lounges and unlimited travel insurance (Allianz). Pretty decent deal if you're asking me.

    • +1

      Same card gave me straight 120k in first year, 2022. They were desperate back then

  • What does "purchase of gift cards in a single transaction" imply? Don't recall seeing that wording before.

    • No idea, I was planning on doing a $60 grocery shop + $100 Amazon gift card. Surely Coles/Woolies have no way of reporting that $100 of that transaction was for a gift card??

  • Best combined with getting their credit card signup bonus.

    • how ?

      • +1

        Open a savings account to get this deal, then apply for the credit card and the sign up bonus (if you’re eligible) once you’re an existing customer. Then you can use deposits made into your savings account to pay off the credit card balance.

  • so can we get all 3 accs for the deal?
