EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

[Natalie_B]

My child used to get offers but my understanding is that they have stopped sending offers to children.

Key determinant (not one offer EVER received for the youngest although old enough to shop alone) appears solely age related not card spend in any way shape or form UNTIL above an age trigger. Another 10 months before I can confirm that hypothesis (unless the algorithm changes).

I notice you've been very carefully vague here. Care to share your hypothesis on the age trigger?

Well, it's not 14...

The algorithms definition of 'children' is as annoying/arbitrary as airlines using the age of 12 for them to become full fare adults!

Don't want to ID family as we enjoy gaming the algorithms.

But I can confirm that 14 is not the apparent age trigger.

Some people find children that rapidly age to 18 have more success with offers.

Thanks folks

I've got a double points for $30 spend.

Mr Natalie has a we miss you offer of $10 off when spending $30.

so I was at the self checkout and one of the staff handed me a coupon for $10 off when spending more than $100. Of course I scanned it, then I was left with no other choice but to collect double points by scanning my EDR card on the $152.

That is pretty poor marketing if you are given the discount without prompting after you have done your shopping. It would have been better for them to hand out the vouchers as people walked in.

Recieved a spend $30 for 250 bonus points. Used today (starts today), for the exact amount of $31.

Unplanned for being exact, 200ish grams of ham for dinner now (home made mini parma's), new small bottle of pizza sauce, and more dog food required (89c each on special).

Had my calculator doing the sums, which the lot came to $30.00!

To be on the safe side added a pack of chips for $1 (special!) to make sure I earnt a point before bonus points.

I sometimes do that with the $30 offers. If there is a problem with the bonus points I have proof that EDR system has a record of the transaction.

Received a 'We miss you offer' of $10 off for spending $30 or more. Will definitely take advantage of this offer by doing a $40 top up for my Opal card.

Combining this with the Amex statement credit offer would result in an actual spend of $20. A good outcome I would say.

A medium sized shop of $384 should elicit our $10 off Amex, but not sure it will trigger the Week 3 discount as I think Mrs QF WP put my EDR number in order.

Why they chose a WOW shop further away from us (we have 2 closer) is beyond me...

I think the current round of discounts were in-store only, not online.

Sunshine has two WW. The one that is less busy was made the collection point for click and collect.

Sounds like a good deal. One of our family members got a double points offer but we won't be using it. I'll probably do a small shop on either Wednesday or Thursday and might find myself in the unusual position of shopping at Woolworths without a targeted offer. The double points offer won't be much use to use as I won't need to spend over $30 just on top up shopping.

My SydneySwan junior (just turned 17) got this offer. I got a double points over $30 so no prizes for guessing which card will be flashed at the checkout.

I've had a good week gaining QFF points.
First today picked up 2000 points for loading the equivalent of $1000AUD on to QANTAS cash..
Had an email last week saying spend $50 or more on first Woolworths home delivery and get 5000 bonus points if delivered by June 30th.
Had email from Cellarmasters.. one dozen chardonnay for $69 and get 1000 bonus points.
Then just had two night at Four Seasons Hotel. Booked through QF website and got 6 points per dollar spend.. Booked two rooms as there is 4 of us. 7450 points. Plus the points for using the QF AMEX.
Then had a 10% off offer for using Woolies credit card this weekend just gone. Plus had a doubles points offer for the weekend. So another 320 points.
So aside from the credit card points.. that's almost 16000 bonus points... happy with that.

Had a 500 points for $120 spend offer, i didnt immediately activate the offer on my phone, went to woolies the next day as a shop was due..totalled $160, some $10 off promotion at register & the Amex $10 credit effectively made it $140....then realized i didnt actually activate the points offer :/

Ah well $20 off is better than nothing...must pay more attention in the future.

Activate the offer today. You may still get the bonus points.
