Best Gift Cards in New South Wales Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong

On the surface, these cards look good as an alternative present for those difficult to buy for. I have found however that they are confusing in that… Read more

different cards have different stores listed where they can be used, the range of stores is limited also. Furthermore, they are difficult to access as you cannot just scan them with your phone to check balances. My advice is to read the card carefully before purchase and then give your present as cash!!

I would just like to say I am extremely disappointed with the amount of times I have called and got no response. I have sent multiple emails and… Read more

still have had no response. I need an urgent query answered. I really cannot believe how hard it is to get in touch with one of your customer service people. It is actually appalling. I need to be contacted asap in regards to a card enquiry!!!!

I bought my daughter $150 Visa gift card for her 16th birthday. She lost the card unfortunately, it was activated but not yet used. Website said to… Read more

call customer service which I did only to find that apparently even though card is used like a bank debit card they can’t/wont cancel it or reissue a new one as your bank would and that whoever’s hands it falls into has the fortune of spending it. How a name as big as VISA can have no protection on their gift cards for loss or damage and the inability to issue a new one if full funds are still on there is beyond me. It’s a half arsed ploy to make money with no security or protection offered if something goes wrong. Customer service not even based in this country, so loud I could barely hear the person on the phone and the line cut out twice. Asked to speak to supervisor who wasn’t even available and never called back. Even website to activate card was constantly experiencing system errors and took more than 5 attempts on different days to activate it. Truely disappointing for such a big name and basically a scam!! Better off giving the person cash!

Love our new kirribilli bed base! So easy to assemble and the quality is exceptional. We already have the kirribilli side table which is stylish and sturdy. Will continue to purchase from Koala

I got 2 $100 gift cards for my birthday went to buy something at the supermarket didn't work so thought i'd jump online check the balance both said… Read more

$100 on each then i went to activate them or i think activate them to use online so put all the details in for the card and put my personal details in and every time it comes up with error so i called the number on the card and all it was was computer talking to me not a real person and gave me no solution and the options it gave me didn't allow me to esculate my problem to the right department or area

I would actually not give this product any stars. The credit card I received as a gift was actually scammed. But the worse thing is that the customer… Read more

number service just sends you around in circles and the mybalancenow does not work either so you have absolutely no recourse. I am very angry at the Supermarkets for selling these products. I think I should go to the ACCC

Useless. Don't bother unless you enjoy achead ache absolute rubbish waste of time

If it were possible to give no stars, I would. I would discourage anyone from using this 'service'. I was given a $50 gift card by my employer,… Read more

unfortunately, unlike other giftcards you need to activate it by a certain date, otherwise they cancel your funds. They also don't give you three years to spend the money like other vouchers. I contacted their customer service, which has an autoreply that they will reply within 1 business day, which was a lie. I had to follow up a number of times to get a reply. In the end they refunded me only $35 as a goodwill gesture, and I only had 10 days to spend the funds. This company is a scam

Very clean and neat well organised great specials and this discounted food in one area. Helpful check out staff who opened check outs when they see… Read more

you waiting especially if you don't use the self-serve check out highly recommend shopping at whiteman's edge/brabham coles

Village easily has the worst gift card redemption process ever. Whether you have a specific Village Cinema voucher/gift card or whether you’re… Read more

exchanging another general gift card to use at Village (Village requires you to exchange general gift cards to specific E-Vouchers in order to use them at Village), it is easily the most complicated and absolute worst process ever. There aren’t any clear or straightforward instructions at any point, you hit issue after issue (eg. Continuous errors attempting to enter and redeem voucher codes) or their system just gives you nothing at all and won’t allow you to proceed. Customer service is even worse, impossible to access, unhelpful, unapologetic and they take far too long to respond. If and when they do, I haven’t found them to be helpful or interested in my issues and queries. There isn’t any clear information informing customers that all vouchers take at least 24hrs to be activated in their system either, so if by some miracle you happen to get to the point where their website and system actually recognises your voucher, you’re unable to use it straight away and village don’t seem to think this is important to mention. Many of their vouchers and deals don’t even last the minimum 3 years before expiry, with most expiring after 12 months. I have always preferred village over other cinemas but after so many poor and terrible experiences, it’s clear they don’t care about customer support or satisfaction.

sent day after friend's birthday. Surprise ruined because I had to ask friend if they had received it or not. Highly recommend not purchasing BWS egift cards

Imagine a gift card that charges the receiver monthly fees for having it. Crazy.

I received a gift card as a reward for my hard work on a huge work project. Decided to treat myself and partner to a dinner at one of the… Read more

'participating' restaurants and was told at the end of a very expensive meal that the restaurant did not accept Gourmet Traveller gift cards (silly me, I didn't think to check with the restaurant BEFORE we booked! Naively assumed if they are listed as participating, that they would honour the gift card that has already been paid for). Learnt my lesson so contacted another 8 restaurants to check if I can redeem my voucher before booking, cannot find one we can travel to! To Gourmet Traveller, update your restaurants list as it is very misleading. To any potential buyer of gift cards, do not waste your money, the recipient will only be left disappointed.

This does not work do not buy! I purchased this Visa Gift Card a blue design background with silver and gold design . Please take my advice and don't… Read more

buy as this Card is a Nightmare. I purchased it at Woolworths 2 Cooler Street Glenorchy Tasmania Australia. It has a denomination of $25 -$500 Purchased 19/12/2025 tried to use it to do shopping and had to cancel the shopping at a busy time of the year there isn't any PIN NUMBER. I rang (07) 5660 6022 I went to MyBalanceNow.com. Total waste of time.

Website needs updating on which Victorian restaurants are participating. The search function doesn't work effectively. Website is clunky. Gift… Read more

vouchers are redeemed in $50 or $100 values at a time. I had a $200 voucher. Just gift cash, rather than buying this voucher.

Woeful delivery and order management and then appalling customer services. It’s a completely waste of an hour in my life, yes it was that long to resolve the issue. They are plenty others with great service out there.

I ordered a restaurant card on May 6, 2025 to be delivered for my sister's birthday in Perth on May 13, 2025 but nothing turned up on her email. I… Read more

contacted Best Gift Cards on their email address provided but my emails were returned undelivered. I contacted Paypal as I had made my payment through them and on May 16, 2025 the card was delivered to my sister's email. No apology or communication on the late service, which they said would be activated within 72 hours.

Don't let the curated 5-star reviews on their homepage fool you. Check this site or Trustpilot and you'll see the real story a 1 star nightmare. … Read more

They need your whole online identity just to release a card you've already paid for. If you need a card after hours or on a weekend, stay far away this company is the definition of not fit for purpose.

The Vanilla Prepaid Mastercard cards are so dodgy. Bought 2 x $300 Prepaid Mastercard cards and the card numbers and the pin are unreadable. These cards are useless now.
