10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

So when will the first post be about Woolworths taking points off us

A little difficult to keep track of, because of the number of policies I've now done, but I'm confident about half of those policies have paid out 20,000 points instead of the 10,000.

How many have you done?

Yeah a bit hard to keep track but I just checked how many charges on my credit card. I think you should have been paid out for all since I have been paid out for 4 I did on Jan 29.

So it seems like they might pay out on the 1st of each month?
If that is the case it might pay to wait until almost the end of the month to do any more.

1st of the month is not correct.

Offer will have ended if you wait until the end of this month

I think I can lay claim to that @lovestotravel

EDR accidentally/inadvertently allocated points for insurance twice late last year ( I hadn't noticed) these were then converted to QFF points.
Could not work out why I wasn't getting grocery shopping points pre Christmas with a few big spends, called EDR and they explained their error.
I had clawed back most and they graciously brought my balance back to zero rather than being in the negative.
Only wish I had called about it earlier.

In that case I better do some more now

How long roughly after the trip do points usually come through?

My first lot of points just posted so I just put through another policy for another trip I'm taking, silly me should have clicked multi-trip

Was offered 10K points again for $37



Screenshots taken if needed later on

What destinations did you enter to get the 10K offer?

"New Zealand"

Not Auckland or anything specific, just "New Zealand"

Tried today, best offer was 5000 points, but prices quoted were rediculous, so a waste of time for me.

Same here. 5000 points for a domestic travel.

 

[PatMcrotch]

Another 4 done. NZ, $28/10,000.

 

[elanshin]

Hmm i just got quoted the same again for 10k points. My previous real NZ trip has its points already landed ... I guess ill be paying ~$30 for $50 credit as much as it lets me over the next couple of weeks.

 

[lovestotravel]

Another 2 done here for 10k each.... I have lots of short trips

I value the points at just under $150, with 144.000 points being enough for a one way J to Europe, at around $4500 each way (taxes etc etc)

So $35 for $150 of future flights

Oh my QFF points valuation is different, but at worst we get $50 woolies money for each policy which costs around $30.

Even for people that don't need QFF points right now a 40% discount on a $50 gift card is pretty good. The $50 sits as "bank for xmas" until i need to convert as I already have PC+ this year.

 

[redbatz]

I tried several quotes, both domestic and os, but they all only offered 5,000. Maybe Imtoo old? Not worth it for me , but out of curiosity, could you actually buy a policy for the points without actually travelling anywhere?

Data point, have now received 20k ED Points > 10k Qantas points not sure if they combined multiple redemptions or not.. waiting on some others to come through to see
