MLC Superannuation - Save 5% on giftcards for Coles / Woolworths / Dick Smith / Big W / Caltex Woolworths / BWS / Dan Murphys

Hi Guys

I was checking out my wife's super (MLC.com.au) and decided to click on the member rewards program to see what they offered.

To my surprise, they have gift cards at 5% off the retail price.
So $100 gift card for $95, $50 gift card for $47.50 etc.

Whilst 5% is not much, it adds up quickly over the year and better in my pocket!

Here is the spiel …

How would you like to save 5% on retail purchases? You could save hundreds of dollars a year by pre-purchasing Gift Cards and using them to pay for purchases at the following retail outlets:

Woolworths - WISH Gift Cards (Can also be used at below retailers*)
Coles

*Safeway Supermarkets, Caltex/Woolworths and Caltex Safeway co-branded outlets, Dick Smith, BIG W, HomeShop, Tandy, Woolworths Liquor, Safeway Liquor, BWS and Dan Murphy’s stores.

These would come in handy for weekly grocery shopping, and also for deals at places like Dick Smith for apple products etc.

    you also need to check for any delivery fees which might negate any saving

    I'm with MLC and they waived my home loan fee with NAB. They're the same company.

    So I just checked the delivery fees for gift card, it is $2.50 standard post, $5 registered post.

    So you would need to purchase a number of gift cards over $100 to make it worth your while.

    $100 gift card costs $95 + 5$ registered post shipping.
    $200 gift card costs 190$ + 5$ registered post shipping.

    There's also a 1% surcharge for paying with visa or mastercard. No surcharge via BPAY
