Note that Uber and Uber Eats were added to the TCN Him card last week.

I haven’t used TCN before, do you know if it is is it like the other one where I can use the Him card to buy Uber credits and add it to my Uber account, or do I enter it as a credit card each time I use Uber (and then risk having random $$ left on the card)

You exchange it for an Uber voucher on the TCN website.

Looks like the Coles MC offer is back - though without the 10% but with the $7 issue fee waived, it's good for some low cost payments to the fiscal fiend. I've tried a number of times as well as buying in different people's names (including my mum's maiden name) and email addresses and it's always got past the AMEX verification stage then fails (assuming it's Coles limiting it to one purchase of a maximum of 10 cards per person).

Anyone else had any experience with this?

I might make use of this for a few state govt payments I have coming up

Not worth the risk I’d say. I’d rather wait for 10% off.

Thanks for sharing that

Same here, just need to use it right after activation to minimize potential hacks

I’m wondering whether this is just a sign of things to come. There’s nothing on it for them if we buy large quantities they might limit future offers if it’s mostly AFFers buying to avoid the usurious $7 issue fee and occasionally get the 10% off deal.

This offer is not new and hasn't appeared to impact the 10% off offers.

Is it just me or is there a subtle change to the offer Terms too - capping this at five per account for the duration of the offer?

Wasn't it previously "Limit 5 Gift Cards per Flybuys account per day."

Was 5 per offer period from memory for the 2000 points deal.

They both offer the same number of bonus points so there's little point (IMO) buying the $250 unless you can't find any $100.

Unless you need to do many transaction above a $100 !

Split payment? I'd prefer not to deal with GCs so it's quicker to get rid of $100 than $250. Also it has a greater impact on your 10,000 over 4 weeks offers.

I was wondering about that myself. We usually get spend $60-70 a week/4 for 10k. But maxxing out the gift cards throws the average spending out of whack. Unless they don't count gift cards? Maybe it's differen't if you put the gift cards on a separate transaction so it codes as gift cards, not general groceries?
