803 from woolies and 502 bonus. Really need to make a BWS purchase to activate offers from there... I flipped back to petrol vouchers this quarter and saved $42.

I flipped back to petrol vouchers this quarter and saved $42.

Assuming an average of 20c fuel vouchers (can use any amount and the calculation is the same with the litres changing) then you purchased ~210 litres of fuel. Had you requested QFF points instead then you would have earned 2,100 QFF points.

Unless you really needed the $42 wouldn't 2,100 QFF points have been much better?

Only 8c vouchers, I'm getting stacks of points elsewhere, and the money wasn't all mine, but I'm not really fussed either way.

Understand.

I am getting stacks of QFF points elsewhere as well but I am taking the points where ever I can on the fuel vouchers. I don't buy that much fuel but my last few fuel vouchers have been 20c and 16c and I still have a 16c and 2 x 15c fuel vouchers to go. I can do without the loose change here and there and the QFF points add up.

I will use up the 16c fuel voucher on hire car tomorrow and the 15c fuel voucher on hire car on Sunday.

Well I value QFF points at 2 cents so either way the value would have been $42.At the moment mrsdrron has more than enough QFF points so I get the cash off on my card.If we really need the points we use her card for the points.

when WW bring out the gift cards. Plus I reckon they have less specials during the gift card period.

Hate to quote myself, but my offers have dried up... Having said I will probably get offers tomorrow.

Hopefully the bonus offers will continue to improve.

It's a rather interesting situation at the moment but I guess we will have to just wait and see. We didn't get any offers on any of our accounts this week and I don't know if this means that we will get more next week or less next week. I'm not taking up the gift card offer as it would mean carrying too much stock in the house. I was hoping the other accounts would score decent offers so I could take those up. I'll let you know whether anyone gets an offer during the gift card period.

Dad - 500 bonus points at Big W for $30 spend

Interesting offer considering this card is never used at Big W. I have run out of things to buy at Big W.

 

[rainbowgirl]

A member of the family got an offer for 150 bonus points for $10 in the deli. We have a week to complete it so should be able to get it easily across two transactions.

 

[Must...Fly!]

I have run out of things to buy at Big W.

They do sell soft drinks, bottled water, juices etc if things like DVDs, games, books or new appliance/crockery doesn't take your fancy.

Might not require it now but at least most of that isn't perishable

100 points for $10 spent on meat at (and a great Sunday arvo pork belly)

I completed a $30 spend at BigW by stocking up with toilet paper and detergent that was on sale.

 

[cgichard]

I was looking to my first offer having recently joined EDR. It was for 10c per litre on fuel if I spend $30 or more this week. But I don't drive.

Lawn-mower/whipper-snipper?

150 points for $10 fruit and veg. And I just stocked up. Grrr. Maybe it's time I did a large pot of sweet potato and pear soup.

 

[cgichard]

Lawn-mower/whipper-snipper?

No, no garden either.
Perhaps we should suggest an opt-out system to EDR: no fuel offers for non-drivers, no meat offers for vegetarians etc.

I recently bought $30+ worth of water from Big W and have enough to last through the next depression. I was thinking of soft drinks but trying to avoid them.

I will have to think of something as 500 bonus points are worthwhile.

Mowers/whipper-snippers don't need that much fuel. Plus not a great ideal to have too much fuel or it might go off.
