Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

Perhaps because my household does 'small and frequent' shops (typically $5-35) rather than 'occasional and large', I've not had a single bonus offer from Woolworths Rewards since returning from overseas in January 2020. Yet prior to my departure in early December 2019, I was regularly receiving this.

We shop less at Coles (I go more often to IGA) yet every week my email inbox has Coles offers.

Woolworths has more advanced data gathering capabilities than Coles so perhaps it deduces my household is too insignificant to be worth worrying about.

We spend around $200 a week and I haven't had an offer in over 6 months other than generic 3x, 5x etc. Before then, always had an offer or multiple offers going

I rarely get anything relevant from Woolies,
Even though I do 2-3 $30-40 shops each week with them.
I see threads where people are getting amazing offers and think I must have somehow made it into the Woolworths rewards control group 🙄
One day I’ll get around to setting up a new account.
 
Current offer of 5 x points on laundry products - they must think I'm not very clean! 😝


I got that as well. Since my laundry is basically track suit pants, t-shirts and underwear there's not much to wash.

A bit of spin about this suits me.
 
ive found that tradtionally my ww offers are the same or better than coles all the time,

I usually get get 2000 points off $60-$130 spend at coles or spend $60-$90 per week for 4 weeks get $50 back

woolies traditionally I get decent BWS offers, decent points back offers, not so decent 3-10X bonus points which I dont use

but since about December last year, the offers have been much better

and hence I stick with woolies for daily shopping
 
Perhaps there is some new financial arrangement between Woolies and Qantas. Qantas certainly doesn’t give anything for nothing.
 
My lack of offers hasn't been all bad. No incentive to go to WOW so now buy all fresh fruit and veg at Harris Farm near me, quality, taste and freshness so much better. The produce actually lasts more than one or two days so nothing gets thrown out anymore. Same with our meat, now use a couple of local butchers, pay more but the difference is out of this world. Wonder sometimes if they are actually the same cuts of meat. On top of all that, WOW and Coles drive to home brand has forced me to source some products elsewhere. Thankfully our local IGA and a couple of deli's fill the breach in a lot of cases.

I guess the tail is not wagging the dog anymore, not being tied to offers has certainly improved the dining experience at home. Can't see myself going back even if the offers do start flooding back in.

Targeted or in-store? Might roll the dice on these, used to drink Harris but have been going with local roasteries for the last while

It's on sale this week too. I bought a bag last week and yesterday got sent my "personalised specials" email where its now $5 off. Annoying.
