News@Terrigal is a local newsagency and gift shop offering newspapers, magazines, stationery, greeting cards, gifts and souvenirs in Terrigal, New South Wales.
News@Terrigal is a locally owned newsagency and gift shop located in Terrigal, New South Wales, Australia. As part of the Newspower group (newspower.com.au), they sell daily newspapers, local and international magazines, stationery, greeting cards, lotto entries, phone and gift cards, plus a wide range of souvenirs and small gifts for locals and tourists. In-store services may also include lottery products (such as The Lott/Tatts/NSW Lotteries), parcel or ticketing services, and photocopy or fax services, depending on the location.
A charge from “News@Terrigal,” “NEWS@TERRIGAL,” or a similar description on your bank or card statement typically relates to an in-store purchase at their Terrigal shop or, less commonly, a phone order processed through their payment terminal. Common reasons for a charge include buying newspapers or magazines, stationery, lotto tickets, prepaid phone or gift cards, greeting cards, school supplies, or small gift items. Some banks group multiple same-day purchases into one total, so if you visited the store more than once in a day, you may see a single combined amount. In some cases, you might see a temporary preauthorization (for example, if a card was inserted but the transaction was cancelled or reversed) that later disappears or is adjusted.
If you’re unsure about a News@Terrigal charge, start by checking your recent receipts, emails, or diary/calendar for a visit to Terrigal around the transaction date, and confirm whether a family member with access to your card may have shopped there. You can contact the store directly by searching online for “News@Terrigal Terrigal NSW” to find their current phone number and opening hours, or use the store locator at newspower.com.au to confirm details. Have your transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of your card ready so staff can look up the sale on their point-of-sale system. For disputes (such as duplicate charges or incorrect amounts), speak with the store first; if it can’t be resolved, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to raise a formal charge dispute.

Why do I see a News@Terrigal charge on my card when I don’t remember shopping there?
Most News@Terrigal charges come from in-store purchases of newspapers, magazines, stationery, lotto tickets, or gifts made in Terrigal, NSW. Check whether you visited Terrigal around the transaction date or if a family member used your card for a quick purchase such as a lottery entry, greeting card, or top-up voucher. Also review any handwritten receipts or small purchases you may have made while travelling, as newsagency transactions are often easy to forget. If it still doesn’t look familiar, contact the store with the date, time and amount so they can search their records.
What are common purchase amounts I might see from News@Terrigal?
Common News@Terrigal amounts can range from a few dollars for a newspaper or magazine (e.g., AUD $2–$15) to $20–$80 or more for stationery, school supplies, multiple magazines, or small gifts. Lotto and scratchie purchases can vary widely depending on the type and number of games purchased. Prepaid phone or gift cards are often in fixed denominations such as $20, $30, $50, or $100. If your statement shows a rounded amount like $10.00, $20.00, $30.00, or $50.00, it may relate to a top-up, gift card, or lotto purchase.
Does News@Terrigal have subscriptions or recurring charges?
News@Terrigal is primarily a retail, in-store newsagency and typically does not run direct monthly subscription billing like a streaming service. However, some customers may arrange ongoing newspaper delivery or regular put-away services for magazines, which are usually paid in-store or on delivery, not as an automated card subscription. If you see a similar amount from News@Terrigal appearing on your statement every week (for example, each Saturday), it may simply reflect your regular in-person purchases like lotto or weekend papers. To confirm whether they have any ongoing account or delivery arrangement in your name, contact the store directly.
Can News@Terrigal place authorization holds or temporary charges on my card?
In most cases, purchases at News@Terrigal are processed as immediate sales, not long-term holds. However, if a transaction was attempted and then cancelled, or if there was a terminal error, your bank may show an initial authorization that later drops off. These can sometimes appear as a pending charge that disappears within a few business days. If you see both a pending and a posted charge for the same visit, monitor your account for 3–5 business days; if the pending amount does not fall off, contact News@Terrigal and then your bank to investigate.
How can I get a copy of a receipt or verify what was purchased at News@Terrigal?
To request a copy of a receipt, contact News@Terrigal directly by phone or in person and provide the transaction date, approximate time, total amount, and the last four digits of your card. If the purchase was recent, staff can usually locate the sale in their point-of-sale system and confirm the list of items. Paper receipts are normally handed out at the time of purchase, so older transactions may be harder to retrieve, but the store may still be able to verify the total and card used. Bringing your bank statement or a screenshot of the transaction can help them identify it more quickly.
What is News@Terrigal’s refund or exchange policy for purchases?
As a small retail newsagency and gift shop, News@Terrigal typically offers refunds or exchanges in line with Australian Consumer Law, particularly for faulty or misdescribed products. For change-of-mind returns, acceptance is at the store’s discretion and may depend on the product type (for example, lottery products, scratchies, and certain prepaid vouchers generally cannot be refunded once issued). To request a refund or exchange, return to the store with the item and your original receipt if possible. For card purchases, refunds are usually processed back to the same card used for the original transaction.
How do I cancel a newspaper delivery or standing order connected to News@Terrigal?
If you have a home delivery, put-away, or standing order for newspapers or magazines managed through News@Terrigal, you’ll need to cancel it directly with the store. Call or visit during business hours and provide your name, delivery address (if applicable), and details of the publications you receive. Ask whether you have any credit or outstanding balance on your account and how payments are handled going forward. If your card details are on file through a third-party delivery service, you may also need to adjust or cancel that service via their website or customer support.
How do I contact News@Terrigal about an unknown or incorrect charge?
Search online for “News@Terrigal Terrigal NSW” or use the store locator on newspower.com.au to find the shop’s current phone number, address, and opening hours. When you call or visit, have your bank statement with the transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of your card handy so staff can locate the transaction. Explain whether you believe the amount is incorrect, duplicated, or unauthorized. If the store confirms that no matching transaction exists or you still suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report the issue and request a card replacement if needed.
