How do I use my Star gift card?

Your Star gift card can be used just like an eftpos card. Simply present either your physical gift card or digital gift card at the participating venue and either swipe or scan the card through the participating outlet’s eftpos terminal. Physical gift cards require you to select “savings” and then enter the “PIN” on the back of your card. Digital gift cards will automatically process when scanned.

If the transaction amount exceeds the card’s balance, you will need to pay for the remaining amount via cash or card.

How do I use my digital gift card once it’s in my mobile wallet?

Simply present your card in store at any of the participating venues and use it to pay for a purchase.

Open your digital wallet on your phone and select the card. Hold your mobile close to the eftpos terminal. The terminal should recognise the card and your phone will prompt you to enter your passcode (this is your phone’s pin number). The terminal should process the payment and you will receive a confirmation on your phone.

If the transaction amount exceeds the balance remaining on your card, you will be liable to pay for the difference.

Do I need to present my gift card at the participating venue to use the card?

Yes, to use your Star gift card, whether it is a digital gift card or a physical gift card, you will need to present it to the participating venue so that it can be swiped or scanned through their eftpos terminal.
