Australia Post Everyday Mastercard

I brought the card as I had the original one and never had any issues with it, used the original to buy at Coles and Woolies not a problem. I got the card originally for online shopping at Amazon. The $20 reload was convenient especially when cash flow was stunted, now with the $50 minimum I don't reload as often as I have restricted funds. Of the two cards I much prefer the original.

I transferred $50 to my Go MasterCard from my own debit card and it says that there was an error. But my money has been deducted and the MasterCard balance stayed the same as before. What do I do?

We had a load and go for years and only had very infrequent and minor problems. This new card was painful to register, difficult to find help information on and worst of all, doesn't work many places. Couldn't even use it some places via pay pal. I plan to use it to pay bills at the post office until it is empty as I expect that is the most likely way to get it to work, then cutting it up!

My 1st, 2nd and 3rd transaction attempts said it was fraudulent/suspicious. Dozens of reviews say the same thing. Overly complicated setup. Worst pre paid card to date and a near useless app. DO NOT BUY!! Try the 7-11 “Just Go” travel visa, it works way better.

My card/account was suspended due to fraudulent/suspicious activity. Was told I would have to get another card (even after I told them I'm not interested in getting another one) or pay $10 to get MY money transferred to a bank account (which could take up to a week). If anyone knows an ombudsman I could contact please let me know.

I wanted to use the card as a secure way of paying for anything purchased online. There is no need to give ones name and this card is not linked to any of my accounts . But the card is Mostly not accepted when I attempt to buy something online in Australia or USA. Also takes at least 3 to 4 days for money to be available once transferred from another account .

My experiences with this card have been varied, but generally poor. .. It is not a good replacement for the Load&Go VISA card that Australia Post previously sold.

- Was not accepted at AliExpress online website (China)
- Was not accepted at other overseas online purchasing outlets (Europe, Scotland etc.).

- It appears that it can work if you register for Masterpay by Mastercard and select Masterpay upon checkout,... however such sites are few and far between, and many online sites do not support Masterpay specifically.

Beware of fees if recharging from another debit card AUD5.00, although Australia Post Website incorrectly stated as free until mid December 2022 (even though PDS disclosed fees correctly).

hi, i tried buying something and it wouldn't go through, so i checked the app and it said it was a pending activity so how can i make it go through or cancel it?

I used my card in the USA, Canada, online and general shopping ( great for budgeting ) and despite my trepidation it worked! My only complaint is that I cant change my pin number on line in App. I haven't rung customer service yet so can make no comment. I found the setting up of the card a little frustrating and somewhat time consuming however App works and I can check balance so all and all card is doing all that I wanted it to do. I do Bpay transfer and it takes 2 to 3 business days to be in account, Au Post sends me email once funds delivered i haven't tried any other ways of transfer. Thanks Australia Post.

I have had a Load and Go VISA for about 5 years. It suits me to use this for app purchases, and paying the odd bill. With this card being retired I have to get a new mastercard, but apparently it cant be used on Apple Pay so I cant make any in app purchases. I like to play a few games and used the L&G to buy in app purchases no problem. Top up was easy and never had an issue with it. Reading all the negative reviews online, not only on this website, I wont be getting one. Ill get a debit card from my bank. Bye AP. Why kill a perfectly good product?

- Loading time on reload page is horrendous
- Cannot transfer to external cards
- Atm + Auspost fee upon cash withdrawal.
- $10 cash out fee to a bank account transfer

Bought it a week ago, will be cutting up once I take my money out.

How can you go from having the best card on the market (Load and Go) to the worst in such a short amount of time? Card constantly placed on hold for valid transactions. Literally every second transaction. Customer Service (if you can call them that) go through security questions multiple times only for them to hang up on you and you have to go through the process again. Don't waste your time on this card.

I wish they would bring back the load and go card. I have never had so much trouble checking something as simple as the balance. When tried the website when I could find it my mother's maiden name and my password were back to front. The only way I found this out was calling customer service who told me. The people at the post office aren't able to access the information to change it. They can't even tell you what the balance is either. The load and go card was so much easier. What a waste of time and money. Get your act together Australia Post.

not compatible with gpay, Samsung pay, afterpay doesn't accept this, can't use it on many membership sites. A message saying on all sites prepaid MasterCard not accepted. What a waste

I liked my load and go card and used it a lot, easily transferring funds from my bank account. This one has a very temperamental website - I have to reset my password every time I use it - but worst of all the transfer of funds via bpay is a fiddly two step process and takes THREE days to appear in the account - ridiculous in this day and age and pretty useless for a card of convenience.
