20,000 Woolworths rewards points with a pet insurance policy

[Dr Ralph]

And just one last question: can one convert the woolies dollars into Qantas points?

TIA

Yes. Just set this up in your Woolworths rewards account.

 

[samh004]

Should be no effect. When did you apply and when did the points post?

If you cancel within 21 days it’s within the cooling off period and they’ll refund all premiums. I would expect the contract to void and they’d claw back the points.

Perhaps. But can't happen if you've already spent them!

I would imagine most people used their accounts they’ve always used instead of creating new ones. Sure, you could create a new account, but it’s a lot of effort. Who’s to say WW won’t go to the same effort to cancel QF accounts that have spent ill-gotten points?

If you don't already have 6 Woolworths rewards accounts set up you're doing it wrong

Each new account should take under a minute to set up.

If you’re aiming for QF points it’s a quarterly transfer, so you might not have ‘spent them’.

Haha!

Bit slow off the mark, but as of lunch time today I have acquired 9 cats

Forgot to note that I received mine yesterday. Only took out one policy. Perhaps I could have been greedier and taken advantage of circumstances, but 9 policies just seems too much work!

 

[Dr Ralph]

but 9 policies just seems too much work!

Really, I was thinking of another 9

After those Vpay deals at Harvey Norman via AMEX I have a lot of email accounts set up ready to go!

I am figured out that the postcode on the policy changes the fortnightly premium by as much as $2+ per fortnight.
The cheapest i have found is ACT postcode 2601 - female cat $7.97 per fortnight.
I live in WA, not Canberra.... can anyone see an issue attaching a real Canberra address, to the policy on application?

Obvious problem if you need to make a claim.

 

[LordGarlic]

Cant we change the address prior to a claim?

Given it impacts upon the premium, the answer may be no. Or at the very least an increase in the premium paid.

The only issue I would see is any paper work being sent to the address used and then the possibility of them marking it as return to sender as the named recipient is not at that address.

Lowest I can get so far is $8.88 FN using 2601 as the postcode, also matches my address/ postcode in my Woolworths Rewards account now

4 polices taken out of 4 moggies.

So for those who have received the points, what is the plan. Cancel the policy before the next payment is due or by cancelling would that fall within the 21 cooling off period mentioned above and possible claw back (as well as refund of initial premium I'd assume).

 

[redwoodw]

Has anyone who purchased multiple policies on one account received more than 20000points?

 

[GSP]

FYI, for mine I used 4 different Woolworths Rewards accounts as I thought that may be an issue.

Happened to me a few times earlier today. Keep trying.
