Save 10% when you purchase $100 and $50-500 Restaurant Choice gift cards in-store at Coles between 9 Jul and 15 Jul 2025.
Here are the details:
- Runs from Wed 9 Jul to Tue 15 Jul 2025
- Only available in-store at Coles
- Limit of five gift cards per customer
Restaurant Choice gift cards can be spent at any business that uses one of the following merchant category codes:
- 5811: Caterers
- 5812: Eating Places, Restaurants
- 5813: Bars, Cocktail Lounges, Discotheques, Nightclubs, and Taverns: Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages)
- 5814: Fast Food Restaurants
- 7011: Lodging: Hotels, Motels, Resorts: not elsewhere classified
- 7996: Amusement Parks, Carnivals, Circuses, Fortune Tellers
If you’ve never bought one of these gift cards before, they’re basically like prepaid Visa gift cards that will only work when spent at businesses that use one of the merchant category codes listed above.
You don’t have to ask if a restaurant or cafe accepts these gift cards as they should just work. You can swipe the physical card, select Credit and enter the PIN or, alternatively, add it to your mobile wallet (e.g. Apple Pay) and tap your device on the payment terminal.

10% off is great, but I prefer points, are aware of any points offer coming soon for the Restaurant or Cafe Choice? Thanks!
Imagine wanting points when you’re getting a cold hard cash discount.
Well, if you know how to play the game, you can get up to 5x more from points than you would get with that cold hard cash discount.
TCN Restaurant gift cards earn 20x points at Woolworths this week and they’re not that different from the Restaurant/Cafe Choice cards provided you convert them to digital.
The problem is that the TCN Restaurant comes in $100 which ends up being a pain to finish. I still got a couple of Good Food from the last deal, on paper they all seem to work mostly in the same places, but I’ve had a couple of restaurants and pubs declining it recently and I remember the Restaurant/Cafe Choice being accepted pretty much anywhere, unless things changed in the past year.
Fair enough. The TCN Good Food gift cards should still work to buy Restaurant/Cafe Choice gift cards on ShopBack via Apple Pay if you want to convert them into something more useful.
is this to use in most restaurants？
Yes.
I had no idea that was possible! Thanks! I wish there was a way to split payment via Apple Pay haha
Does this work with the TCN Restaurant as well?
It used to but not anymore.
Can I use this overseas?
Yes but with a 3.5% fee I’m not sure why you’d want to.
Will this work at cafes? Thanks!
Yes. There may be some situations where they don’t work but in the vast majority of cases you should have no issues using them at cafes.
