This year I will buy quite a few Woolies plastic gift cards using Amex Platinum Edge. My local Caltex takes them as well as the Woolies Rewards and the Myer One.
I use some at Dans,Big W,Woolies and some at the office.

Read the last few pages above. Software update has blocked the purchases as of this week

Only about 15 people who have reported this same problem during the last 5 days.

Tried the same store as earlier in the week.
Still fine at selfserve but this time needed an authorisation (as I had previously at that store)

Has anyone tried using a physical WISH card to buy any other types of GCs?

 

[bbqwer]

Thankyou guys.
Went to next WW and it works. Looks like party over soon.

Cheers

I bought several Visa1 with an egift card on Thursday at South Melbourne without difficulty. Tried this afternoon at checkout - "Transaction not allowed". Self-serve also didn't work: both employees told me it's against T&C to buy gift cards with egift cards, so it would appear they've been told what to say.

Looks like that ship has well and truly sailed.

That would just give any readers from WOW HQ a hit list - we don't want that do we!

Looks like system is being updated for all gift cards.

Pretty sure South of the Brisbane River is probably all patched..

Looks like the good old MC/Visa cards are going to get a workout, but how will I pay for my DJs Amex bills now

Really? As per a previous comment of mine I tried to buy Event Cinemas and eBay (together, and then separately) with EGCs and wasn't able to do it in either case. Did you do self-checkout?

 

[bbqwer]

How do I update above store ?

Please add Nsw : ingleburn and macquarie fieds.
Casula also dead!

Just bought 15 eftpos ones at my local and it went through ok. Not sure whether or not to risk buying more egiftcards for one last hurrah in case the system gets updated before I can use them.
