Everyday Rewards can now be earned for Woolies spends in both Australia and New Zealand

[chrispy3276]

Following the rollout of Everyday Rewards in New Zealand, anyone who is a member can now earn points when visiting their neighbouring country for Woolies spends:

• Aussies will earn 1 point for every NZD$1 they spend
• Kiwis will earn 1 point for every AUD$1 they spend

While you can earn rewards in neighbouring countries, you can at the moment only redeem rewards in your home country. Everyday Extra members will not earn extra points on purchases.

FAQ/Help pages for each country have been updated:

• Australia - https://www.woolworthsrewards.com.au/support.html
• NZ - https://www.everydayrewards.co.nz/help

Does this mean I can earn points at Countdown?

They're all being rebranded as Woolies.

First to confirm [on here?] that this is working, as advertised.

Dropped in to WW near ZQN after arrival yesterday for some essentials (i.e. a bunch of beer, wine and snacks) and EDR scans like home. Noting the Apple Wallet / RFID scan on the merchant terminal didn’t work.

Credited soon after to the EDR account:



Cheers,

So can't as yet redeem NZ EDR points for QF points. Unless I get an Au EDR card?

The WW EDR NZ partners are very limited. QF is not included
Boosters for WW EDR NZ are minor compared to AU

No - not a partner for NZ, but if you lived in NZ or visited often and want QFF points, then I can’t see an issue with getting a virtual card from AU and using that, now that they earn in NZ

As I predicted here:

Everyday Rewards coming to NZ

Countdown NZ will rebrand as Woolworths, and as part of that they are launching Everyday Rewards there. I assume it will be a sister program rather than the same due to the currency difference, and there's no word whether they'll partner with QF. Air NZ already partner with New World so it is...

Having arrived back last month from NZ, can report that points earn at NZ based Woolworths/countdown stores immediately to Australian based accounts - just like they do back home.
Just a word of warning, that spend at BP which is the fuel partner to Woolworths in NZ does NOT earn points for Australian based members.

If only I had read this thread before going!

I tried the Apple Wallet EDR card, it didn’t work either.

So probably needs a physical card?

Nope - just the barcode, which you can scan from the AU EDR app

By the way, just confirming I was able to get this to work (and the points posted) using the barcode from my iOS digital EDR card.

Thanks again @dairyfloss

50% better conversion rate than AU, but perhaps less likely to have as much in the way of bonus points as we do here?

From Earning Qantas points from New Zealand

Interesting point, I read the headline thinking just NZ would be the transfer partner there. But at 2000 NZ Rewards points to 1,500 Qantas points that is indeed a much better offer than we’re getting here in AU. Which begs the question: what is the earn rate for NZ issued cards when shopping in AU? If it remains 1 to 1 then it can be a particularly good offer, especially with the regular 20x bonus points on gift cards over here.

Trans Tasman the booster / bonus do not apply. Just 1 EDR point per $ of spend.
An NZ EDR card will not have booster/bonus for Woolworths AU spend
