So no deal as $0.95 a card extra!

Whilst not a very good deal for the fixed denomination cards, this is a good deal for the variables. $500 can net you $25 worth of points for a $7.95 fee.

For the $100 suppose it depends how much you value QF points (or Points Club). Also there are the various cards that give supermarket spend bonuses

Picked up a $500 Perfect today. Funds and WW points credited almost immediately. Seemed to have decent stock

I've got a new credit card coming very soon. I plan to meet the minimum spend with these cards and churn straight away.

These can be used for rates right?

As long as you can pay these in person it shouldn't be a problem.

Got a few, and the 3rd degree from checkout staff - points posted without issue.

No third degree, but WW card didn't scan instantly and was told that you didn't get points on GCs

To be fair I kind of followed the young fella's thought process, he was okay with my purchase right up until he had to read out that it would be two thousand and... then there was a pause, a phone call to the manager, and some concern I was being scammed.

And to be fair to mine, he had probably been told about WISH cards etc.

I think that unlikely.

My purchase of 4 x $500 cards required the attention/intervention/approval of four staff members. Took 15mins. Points posted within an hour.

4 separate transactions would likely have avoided most of the drama.

Yeah I didn't really think I needed to do that at the time. I've had no issues with some of the recent $250 card deals. Maybe the alarms go off at $1,500?

I'd usually do this, but there's a weird exclusion in the T&C about 1 transaction per day, and while I am pretty sure it's not enforced I didn't want to throw away $8 testing it out. Would be interested to hear from others if this goes okay for them.


Reading it again it's clear they're trying to say that you can't use multiple transactions per day to get around the 10 card limit but it's just confusingly worded enough that I kept to one transaction just incase.

I'ld like to use these to pay my NIB Health Insurance but there is no store near me and I don't think the website will accept them.

Has anyone tried using them to pay over the phone? (Longshot I know.)

Not possible AFAIK - EFTPOS cards don't support card not present transactions as far as I'm aware

You may not understand that the perfectgiftcard are EFTPOS cards. Over the phone is impossible.

I thought that was the case; and I knew you would know.

Guess I'll have to find somewhere local to use them.
