Coles gift card offers

True - My kids are under 16 sadly and other extended family members want their own accounts

This has never posed an issue for me. The currently 12 year old NoName Jnr acquired a flybuys account maybe 4 years ago. Can’t recall how old he is according to Flybuys.

I think the concern is then linking ato a NoName Velocity account and pooling status credits or transferring points

Never been an issue either. He is linked to his velocity account and pools to mine.

Sorry I didn't realise I was talking to THE NoName.
I think the concern is having a fake child account or a cat and linking to that.

Tempted, but don't want my VA account suspended....

Well my post was tongue-in-cheek.

Picked up 5 X $100 GCs with ease from 1st Coles I popped into after work. Seemed too easy.

Don't waste gift cards on Sydney Water, as they have 0% surcharge when paying via PayPal. I pay using AmEx via PayPal, full points.

Get 3 points per dollar at supermarkets on Amex platinum edge so better for me than via PayPal

Sydney Water charges 0.4% if you pay using a card direct to them, so you need to take that into account. Unless you then attach the gift cards to PayPal and pay Sydney Water using PayPal?

Also, this is assume you have no other use for these gift cards e.g. council rate, strata, ATO.

You’re not the only one. My local Coles hasn’t been restocked since late December’s promo. Another nearest one is half an hour drive away, not keen on a drive yet.

Went to a couple yesterday and no dice. Did manage to give the cryonics treatment to a dozen or so earlier this week at a store near my work office though so will go and retrieve tomorrow.

I happened to be at the Wanniassa (ACT) store on Tuesday evening picking up a few groceries. In anticipation of the Wednesday promotion and perhaps stashing some, I found that there were no cards (purple or yellow) anywhere on the display. When I went back on Wednesday afternoon, the display had two rows of hangers (?) each with the promo tag thingy that were largely empty but had maybe 15 cards all up, along with the big promo sign on top of the display.

I'd visited two other stores prior to that and found only 5 yellow cards at one. This is commonly how this promo goes in the south of Canberra, at least in my experience.
