    Thanks OP. But too much hassle for too little gain! Good for the ones who need to meet credit card spending requirement

    Confirming that this doesn’t work with the ATO?

    • HamBoi69 on 11/04/2025 - 09:04

      As per the table in the OP, no. It has been permanently blocked (either by the merchant or the gift card scheme owner).

      Blackhawk Network - the Activ Visa gift card scheme owner - has always blocked transactions at the ATO on Activ Visa gift cards.

      It is also against the Activ Visa gift card terms and conditions to try to use an Activ Visa gift card for transactions at the ATO.

    • Neoika on 11/04/2025 - 11:09

      There was once after I added a fresh card to PayPal, the card was suspended immediately probably due to the zero charge by PayPal. I would rather pay 30c more for TCN VISA for less hassle and more versatile use.

      • J Huang on 11/04/2025 - 11:30

        yeah. TCN visa support name and mobile verification. Activ card sucks, hard to check balance and harder to use, much less supported. Often got declined for online transactions.

  • N B on 11/04/2025 - 09:39

    Can this be used instore with google pay ?

    • WookieMonster on 11/04/2025 - 09:52

      Yes, as long as the merchant chooses to accept Google Pay and Activ Visa gift cards as a payment method. Nearly all will, but there are some edge cases. For example, you can use this in-store at Woolworths via Google Pay, but Woolworths chooses to block Activ Visa gift cards as a payment method if you are trying to purchase a handful of gift cards (e.g. Vanilla Mastercard gift card, Everyday WISH gift card, eBay gift card).

      • 1000060 on 11/04/2025 - 10:05

        Thanks for the info. But how can Woolworths tell you are using Activ Visa if paying via Apple Pay or Google Pay? I thought Apple Pay won't share the card number with merchants.

        • WookieMonster on 11/04/2025 - 11:07
          +2

          Woolworths cannot see the actual card number for your Activ Visa gift card, but they can see the virtual card number from Apple / Google / Samsung Pay. The virtual card number uses a particular BIN (bank identification number), and Woolworths knows this particular BIN is used by Activ Visa gift cards.1 Woolworths has set up their checkouts to check for the BIN of your payment card when you swipe/insert/tap at payment, and if the BIN is on Woolworths’ blacklist for the gift card you are purchasing, the checkout will trigger a Cancelled - Items Not Allowed error and you will need to use a different payment method.

          1. Back when Woolworths used to sell Activ Visa gift cards, my guess is that Woolworths worked with Blackhawk Network - the gift card scheme owner - to block transactions using a number of BINs that Blackhawk Network used across their gift card portfolio. I have seen at least six different BINs used by Blackhawk Network’s gift cards, and all of them are blocked by Woolworths when you are purchasing specific gift cards. ↩

          • 1000060 on 11/04/2025 - 13:05

            @WookieMonster: Based on my understanding, Apple Pay won't share virtual card numbers but only the last 4 digits of the Device Account Number which doesn't have BIN or similar identifiable part. If they do block such transactions, they probably work with payment processors and card networks to enforce this, which to me sounds a lot of efforts.

            • WookieMonster on 11/04/2025 - 13:41
              +1

              @1000060:

              Based on my understanding, Apple Pay won't share virtual card numbers but only the last 4 digits of the Device Account Number which doesn't have BIN or similar identifiable part.

              That is not true.

              Apple and Westpac say Apple Pay shares the Device Account Number (DAN) - not just the last four digits of the DAN - with the merchant.

              Last night, I made a purchase at Shell Reddy Express using a 7-Eleven digital gift card, and the receipt shows the card number as <six-digit BIN>XXXXXX<last four digits of the DAN>. I have also seen something similar happen at many other merchants, including Ampol Foodary, Bunnings and a parking meter. If the full DAN was not shared with the merchant, why would these merchants show more than just the last four digits of the DAN? Additionally, if you go to add a new payment card via NFC on Samsung Wallet and tap a card from Apple Pay, Samsung Wallet will display the full 16-digit DAN and its expiry date.

              If Apple only provided the last four digits of the DAN to the merchant, that means there would only be a maximum of 10,000 card combinations across the world, which is nowhere near enough to differentiate between all payment cards saved to mobile wallets across the world.

          Coles’ official policy is you cannot use any gift cards to purchase gift cards, but for Activ Visa gift cards, it should be up to staff to enforce this.

    Guess Prezzee doesn’t accept this card either?

    • WookieMonster on 11/04/2025 - 11:27
      +4

      Prezzee probably would not accept this gift card if you entered the card details directly into the debit/credit card section of the online checkout. (That would be due to the prepaid gift card not supporting 3-D Secure.)

      You could attempt to get around this by using the prepaid gift card via Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal, but it has been over a year since I have tried to do this with an Activ Visa gift card. I actually suspect Blackhawk Network has blocked Prezzee transactions on Activ Visa gift cards, because, the Activ Visa gift card terms and conditions has the following clause:

      1. Cards cannot be used towards the purchase of any other gift cards or vouchers at participating merchants.

      In my recent experience, Blackhawk Network has blocked transactions at a number of gift card portals, including:

      • Card.Gift - this was both via Google Pay and via PayPal, back when Card.Gift offered PayPal as a payment option
      • Giftz - via Apple Pay and PayPal
      • HCF Thank You

      Considering Prezzee is a gift card portal, it would not surprise me if Prezzee was blocked too.

      From past experiences with Giftz, the option you choose can determine whether your transaction is treated as a regular purchase or a cash advance.

        Update: I was unable to use it for regular grocery purchase at Coles.

        I got an “Error code: 05 DECLINED DO NOT HONOUR” message.

        I called their helpline and the representative advised me that my card was blocked as I had tried to use it with PayPal (I tried to pay a bill with AGL).

        They said that they would need to request a replacement card for me, and that it would take 24 hours to arrive in my email…

        @WookieMonster, do you know if Coles allows gift card purchases with Activ Visa cards? I read your comment about Woolies, and am curious to know if it applies to Coles too.

        • WookieMonster on 11/04/2025 - 12:55

      I was able to do this for car rego in late July 2024, but I have not tried again since.

      If you are going to try this, I would recommend you ask to pay by Visa credit. When I was paying my car rego last year, I asked to pay by Visa and the staff member responded with “Visa debit or Visa credit”? I chose Visa debit, but that only gave me the option to pay using eftpos (SAV) or eftpos (CHQ). When I then said Visa credit, the option to pay using Visa (CR) appeared on the EFTPOS terminal.

      Also, keep in mind that some billers (e.g. ATO, DEFT) will not accept any Visa or Mastercard payments when paying via Post Billpay in-person, so make sure the biller accepts Visa as a payment option via Post Billpay.
