EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

That sounds very interesting. I have all the EDR accounts on the one email address and so far I haven't had any problems. All of the accounts have been receiving offers in the last few months but not as many as we used to. I've always wondered whether using the same email address would cause a problem but I've been lucky so far. I've heard that sometimes changing an email address with EDR on an account will reset things so that more offers arrive. I can't guarantee that this strategy will work. I had to use two email addresses for our two flybuys accounts as flybuys kept losing our bonus points and claimed it was because we were using the same email address for two accounts. Once we started using different email adresses some of the missing points mysteriously appeared and less points went missing altogether.
Not sure different addresses make any difference. All our cards are 'individualised ' and have different email addresses. Doesn't attract any more offers.
 
I don't think I've ever received a birthday offer. Definetly didn't get one on my most recent birthday. I can't recall Mr Natalie getting one either but maybe his luck will change this year!
Our family of 6 has only EVER had one birthday bonus in all the time we've been with Woolies
 
I think I'll tick the yes box on this one.

Hi xx_x,

Turbo charge your points this weekend.
Spend $50 in one shop and earn 250 Bonus Points.
Offer runs from 28 March 2014 to 30 March 2014

Current offer has just been reduced by 50 points for same spend. Seems after triggering the spend their algorithms are hard at work to see how to squeeze you further.
Here is the new one:

Yes, lowering the reward for the same value shop makes no sense at all. I have seen it several times. Sometimes I take up the offer and sometimes I ignore it. At least with the current offer you have more time to achieve the spending requirement.

I don't think I like their new wording regarding the activation of the offer. The wording underneath seems to imply that the reward will actually be given to you during the qualifying period but I'm sure the bonus points won't be paid until a few weeks later.
 
Went shopping yesterday to pick up my 100 point birthday bonus and the spend $120 for 500 points.

Took DH who doesn't really like shopping and was in a hurry to catch up with friends.
Usually I do a bit of a rough tally so I know I am close to spend amount, but no time today as he was loading things in the trolly too.
Got to the checkout and the tally was $163 woohoo 750 points then presented Every day rewards card and then panic, bill $158, so had to scramble and pick up some Extra chewing gum to get us over the line. Phew!!

Shopping and collecting points can be stressful!
 
I got that last week, activated it and spent $65 bucks.

I still though haven't received the bonus QFF points in my account?? do they usually take long?
 
The points are usually paid 7 days after the end of the qualifying period, not 7 days from the transaction. Occasionally they get paid quicker than this.

EDR are actually much faster than Flybuys when it comes to paying bonus points. I suggest you keep your receipt just in case the points don't turn up. I'd give them about 14 days after the promotion end date before chasing up Everyday Rewards. Sometimes bonus points are late but if they haven't turned up by 14 days after due date they often don't turn up at all, unless you chase them up. Good luck.

Keep in mind that it takes about another week for the points to be transferred from your Everyday Rewards account into your QFF account.

I always scan my card early on, usually I scan it while the checkout person isin between items. I like that feeling of watching the point tally go up and there are no big surprises at the end. Sometimes I do throw in a chocolate or two, just incase :).
 
Dear EDR, please offer me free delivery this weekend for under a generous spend amount *cough* $50 *cough* (because I'm lazy), thank you, love and kisses, benjy :p
 
Woolworths Online offered me $10 off my next online order in return for doing a feedback survey. I did the survey and at the end they changed the terms and conditions of the offer. I'm now supposed to get $150 of groceries before I can use the $10 off code and I only have a few weeks to use it. I wish EDR and Woolworths Online would share information about spending patterns. My Woolworths online offers have been way too high to be worth it. I've only placed one online order and that was for $30 and I'm not placing another one until I get a decent online order or I can combine an online order with a super EDR offer.
 
From the recent EDR offers that have been posted by members I'm not really impressed. I really want to keep shopping at Woolworths for QFF points but the offers are not really enticing enough :(, especially when Flybuys have generous point offers for individual items.
