Update 3 Feb 2026: TCN have temporarily removed the ability to swap the Teen gift cards for JB Hi-Fi digital gift cards via the TCN website but you can apparently still use them in-store at JB Hi-Fi:
At this time, the option to swap or use TEEN gift cards at JB Hi-Fi is temporarily unavailable. We expect that this should be available within 24-72 hours.
You may continue to use your TEEN gift card for in-store purchases at JB Hi-Fi or alternatively swap it for another available merchant or retailer.

TCN gift cards are sometimes targeted by scammers. Whilst TCN have fixed the vulnerability on their website and introduced more tamper-resistant packaging, it’s still a good idea to inspect each gift card for signs of tampering before you pay.
You should also try to spend them sooner rather than later and avoid giving them as gifts. If you do happen to buy a gift card that’s been fraudulently used, you are entitled to a refund but it’s often quite a tedious process.

Does the Shopback hack still work for converting TCN Good Food gift cards into the better Restaurant Choice cards?
It doesn’t work anymore, unfortunately.
The good food seems tighter than the restaurant choice when it comes to fast food MCCs. Any ideas where the pub and bar card sits compared to these 2?
You can compare the two here. The Good Food card is probably the better choice if only for the fact that it’s available in a $200 denomination.
Hi, first time user of the TNC Good food gift card. Can you use these ones at the same places listed for the TNC Restaurant Gift card? When I search places on the good food website it doesn’t list any for my area but the restaurant gift card has heaps of options in my area. Thanks
When it comes to restaurant gift cards, there are basically three tiers:
Tier 1: Restaurant Choice, Cafe Choice and TCN Restaurant: can be used at almost any restaurant including fast food.
Tier 2: TCN Good Food and TCN Pub & Bar: can be used at most restaurants but not anything categorised as fast food (fast food can also mean cafes, pizza places etc so it’s just not McDonald’s and that sort of thing).
Tier 3: Best Restaurants, Gift To Dine etc: only redeemable at specific restaurants that have chosen to partner with the gift card company.
Thank you. Thank you also for the link to make these digital very helpful.
How often/ usually when do Coles/WWS do 20x points on Restaurant/Cafe Choice every year? Need to stack up points instead of getting 10% discounts… Thx!
There were eight bonus points offers on Restaurant Choice or TCN Restaurant gift cards last year.
Coles and Woolworths will likely both run an offer on TCN Restaurant gift cards in March.
Hi can the good food gift cards be added to the eat club app ? Thanks
According to some comments on OzBargain it does, although it sounds like it’s a bit inconsistent.
If you get the Teen Card or the Baby Card, do the retailers actually enforce the strict list of shops? Or, could you get the Baby Card and use it at Adidas or JB Hifi?
There are some instances where they’ve been found to support other brands but not always. In mosts cases it won’t work.
Hey, can the teen/baby gift cards be made into digital like the good food?
Not officially but some of them can be converted into digital gift cards via this link.
However, based on what I’ve read about it on OzBargain it won’t work if your card number begins with 50212512.
Hi my tcn teen begins with 50212512 and I was able to convert into digital today
Was unable to swap the teen card online to JB-hifi gift card. Not sure why JB been delisted from their participating retailers list, but still shows on the physical card itself. Will go in store and check it out tomorrow…
The same.
I think they may have delisted the jb hifi as it looks like the scammers are somehow scaming these cards and converting them to jb hifi girt cards i bought 3 $500 teen cards and went to use them Friday and all of them are saying they have been already used to buy jb hifi gift cards none of the cards had the pin scratch off so I can’t workout how they have been compromised so now I am trying to get them fixed but so far no joy
It most likely is related. Scammers prefer the $20-500 TCN Teen gift cards because being able to steal $500 per card is a lot more lucrative than doing it $50 or $100 at a time.
I’ve been told that TCN are apparently much better at resolving these issues now so hopefully you don’t have to try too hard to get your refund or replacement gift cards. You can also email Woolworths Gift Cards customer care if you feel like TCN aren’t doing enough.
Tcn are investigating they said they will be in touch in a week stressful waiting but hopefully will get sorted
