Summary

- Use physical Pocket Money gift cards without registering them as they don’t contain physical cards, just QR codes that you must scan to add the digital card to your mobile wallet
Promotions
Pocket Money gift cards have been included in a number of promotions at Giftz, Big W and ALDI. Typically, the offers on these cards are 10-15% cashback which is provided in the form of a bonus Pocket Money gift card.
These “cashback” offers rarely result in a net saving of more than a few dollars as Pocket Money cards are only available in small denominations and the $5.95 purchase fee eats into the savings.
