Coles gift card offers

[FlyingFiona]

You needed to press Debit rather than Credit

So I thought this must have been where I was going wrong with the Beauty cards and why I was getting a surcharge. Used it again today and made sure to press Savings not Credit. Still had a surcharge

Actually, I have been using the EFTPOS gift cards from Coles from a few weeks ago, so I have been pressing SAV, yet, I had been to so many shops where their EFTPOS would add 30c. I know that the cost to a merchant, by most banks, for EFTPOS, is only 10c. These EFTPOS terminals from memory are not from banks, but from some independents.

So it's not the gift cards, but it's just the whole card surcharge is getting out of hand. RBA had released their new proposal on card surcharge today, but that's off topic ......

If the last three years are any indication then this could be the last Apple offer at Coles until late October as they always stop running them around the time the new iPhones are released. If you prefer to earn Flybuys/Velocity points then it might be a good idea to stock up now.

As always, make sure you check your gift cards for signs of tampering before you pay for them:

Thanks to HamBoi69 on OzBargain for sending us this photo.

I guess those miserly 1,000 points offers they kept trying mustn't have sold too well.
