EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

[Cynicor]

$30 fruit and veg for 200 points. Not going to take them up.

no offers for us this week. i can see a pattern developing. took up every offer last year..EDR noticed this and then stopped sending us any offers!

Pretty pleased with myself even if I say so myself. Had three offers as follows:

1. Spend $275 for 1,000 points
2. Spend $10 in deli for 150 points
3. Spend $20 on fruit and veg for 250 points

Went shopping with Mrs Nick, we basically went our separate ways so no real idea what was in the trolley, we did spend more in both the deli and on fruit and veg but I did manage to split at the register to pay separately as follows:

1. $275.12 - 1,000 points earned
2. $10.00 exactly on deli items - 150 points earned
3. $20.46 on fruit and veg - 250 points earned

It was a big shop and I can't believe we basically overspent by 0.58c to get the maximum point value. I did have a few cherry ripes in my hand but in the end, no need to use them

It seems that in the eternal quest for more and more points I now subconsciously spend exactly what is needed

I might add, nothing in the trolley that we wouldn't have bought without the points offer

It's a very long thread and I simply haven't trolled through it all but I have a quick question. I took up a few offers pre Christmas, typically offering 500 bonus and 750 bonus points. Did the shop swiped the ED card but still have not received any points. Has anyone else had problems actually getting their points after a shop?

We received a "we miss you" offer - $50 spend for 500 points. I've need a few groceries so its perfect timing.

at times first step - find offer and see how long it said until points would post. I think most offers are 7 days after the offer expires. Then, receipt in hand, call EDR to follow up.

All of our points for pre Christmas shops have posted and the points from last weekends $80 shop have also posted. Natalie B's advice above is very good. I don't know of any general delays in points posting at the moment. If you have multiple everyday rewards cards in the household, make sure the correct card was swiped for the relevant transactions and make sure the base points appeared in the right accounts. It's hard to check base points at the moment as there is only one months worth of points in the transaction listings in the everyday rewards accounts. Good luck. I hope you get your points. You can get mixed results with the call center staff but if you aren't satisfied with the service, make sure you ask to speak to a supervisor or have a supervisor call you.

$120 for 500 points
$160 for 750 points

Too high for me but probably triggered by a one-off shop well above my usual spend.

Well done on getting the totals so close to the targets. I just wanted to ask though whether the offers were all for the same account as the one that had the $275 spend offer on it? If so you can spend $275 in one transaction and have that transaction include $20 of fruit and veg and $10 of deli and still get the bonus points even though you've only spend $275 for the whole shopping trip. It's great that you were able to get all the offers without having to buy extra stuff so this time it probably didn't matter how you split the transactions, but the tactic might be useful for future offers.

I've been lucky enough occasionally to stack two types of offers in one WW transaction but usually I end up with different offers on different cards and end up with 2 or 3 transactions in one shopping trip. I'm very impressed you managed to get exactly $10 on Deli and only a little over $20 on fresh fruit and veg. It's really hard to get exact amounts in these areas, especially since many f&v items are sold per kg rather than an exact price per item. Well done again.

Mrs QF WP got the spend $200 get 1K points on Thursday. Great timing as we're away on hols, so we ordered online tonight. Spent more than $200 but all needed.

I'd love a discount offer like that on a "we miss you". I wonder what sort of shopping pattern(or non shopping pattern) triggers that. I love points but an instant cash saving is even better. I'd be using the Wish card bonus on top of that as well if I got it.

They were on three separate cards this time though like you I do my best to combine offers when possible

Odd offer for me this week. Spend $5.00 on everyday essentials* for 150 points.
*= toilet paper/tissue, wipes, facial tissues, paper towels, garbage bags, freezer bags, sandwich bags and food wraps.

Smallest spend offer I can remember, not so difficult to achieve.

 

[JessicaTam]

I don't think I have posted this one:

Spend $25 on fresh meat for 200 points.

Not a hope.

 

[Natalie_B]

Mr Natalie received an offer for 400 points for a $45 spend on freeze items.

 

[ellen10]

Only offer I received lately was over a week ago spend $25 on vitamins and receive 200 points.
Bought a bottle of magnesium tabs the week before. I do not usually buy vitamins. They are very quick to try encourage more of that type of spending. No other offers this past week for any of my usual spending.
Sigh!

I wonder if the magnesium tabs would have 'qualified' given they are a mineral and not a vitamin.
