I know $500 perfects exist but has anyone ever seen one in a supermarket?

Yes. Have bought them previously at my local Woolies. Haven’t had a need lately to look for them but will take a look next time I’m there.

Had a look in a couple of stores. No $500 perfects around-they might even have been replaced by the variable load (which sound like they are ineligible)

Variable definitely excluded according to the terms. Looks like only $50 and $100 cards included this time around:

Tomorrow's WW offer..

Haven't seen any Woolworths/Big W bonus points offers this week in the catalogues, just a 10% off again - a shame as I was hoping to buy a fair few to potentially hit PC+. Please correct me if anyone has seen any!

I bought a $50 Netflix card and to date no bonus points have been credited. Spent over an hour on hold today getting through to ask them to credit them. Once through, it took no time from their end. Now just waiting for the points to hit my account. (So annoying having to monitor and chase things like this. I don't actually understand why the points are instantaneously added like they are for their other offers.)

I had the exact same issue on the same promotion on the same gift card. Took a while on home, but the points cleared within ~2 hours after I got through.

I too have been looking without luck. I think that is the third week without having a 10x, 20x or more points.

From Wednesday October 5:

10x points ($100 = 1,000 points) for Eftpos cards, including variables (fees vary from $5.95 to $7.95 per card)
20x points ($100 = 2,000 points) for TCN Him, Restaurant and Pub & Bar, and Netflix gift cards

Note that T&C's now include maximum earn amounts over the promotional period:

• 175,000 points for prepaid eftpos cards (with 1 transaction per day, 5 per transaction limits)
• 140,000 points for all other gift cards (with 1 transaction per day, 10 per transaction limits)

Don't think I'd ever hit those limits, but clearly people are if they need to impose them...

How easy / hard is it to use the TCN Restaurant? In AFF experience, can those be used for fast food, quick bite for lunch / sushi etc? It says everywhere where eftpos is accepted, which is pretty much everywhere. In case this makes a difference, that would be to use mostly in Canberra. Thanks for any feedback.

Difficult. Especially with left over balances. I won't use them again.

I disagree, I have used a large number - probably close to 100 - Restaurant & Pub/Bar in the last 2 years, less than 10c left on any card. When each one gets low I just split a txn across two cards.

edit: just counted, $4.52 unused across 92 cards in TCN app, have probably used 30ish cards without app/apple wallet

I also disagree. Just use them when your bill is over the value of the card - ie $50 or $100 and no leftover balance! Widely accepted

Presumably you have to convince them to split payment?

I’m intending to use EFTOPS cards to make payments in Canberra too

To post letters to Canberra as well?

Never had a problem doing that. Even places that say they won’t split payment don’t seem to worry!
