Spend $100 for $10 off instantly for two weeks.
Coles offer is far better (Spend $50 x 4 weeks for $50 off).

Should work

I didn't get it. I had it on the Qantas setting

 

[Jurahn]

No, didn't receive it. Account is currently set to $ off.

1000x points (WWR points that is) instantly credited to account on $50 spend today. "Good news! you've reached $10 off your next shop" popup appears. I have set to QF points preference. Let's see where this ends up.

That's a different offer. But to clear up the question about the "1000 points for $50", it's definitely 1000 WWR, not 1000 Qantas.

Need some directions from regulars here. I've been religiously sweeping my rewards card every time I shop, but never get the targeted offers you guys seem to get regularly...

Unfortunately I do about 95% of my grocery shopping in Woolies as the closest Coles is about 20min drive away... So not feasible for me to not be loyal and shop where the points are.

Do I just pick up those 6 month temp cards and give my regular card a rest and hopefully trick them into tempting me back with special deals?

Get some new cards and set up different accounts.

Make sure you leave different accounts alone for a month at a time.

Offers should roll in.

I suggest swiping less frequently - need to trick the system into thinking you've gone to coles or aldi. I am a convert to the "only scan when you'll be rewarded" method. It's worth forgoing one point per dollar on $1000 worth of spend, to get an x,000 bonus point reward for hitting a spend target once (or over a few weeks).

You could always put your card away for a little while and pick up a new one for anyone you co-habitat with.

How would the system respond to different accounts having same address, QFF number?

You are showing loyalty to Woolworths. Woolworths Rewards doesn't reward loyalty, it rewards disloyalty. Have a separate membership for each adult member of the family and use a separate email address for each membership. Keep transactions as low as possible. If needed, do 2 transactions on one day, one where you swipe your card and one where you don't swipe your card. Give them the impression you are lowering your Woolworths spend and you might attract offers to get you to increase it. If they don't know what you really need each week, they might offer you a target which is easy to achieve. You may lose base points but played carefully you should eventually reap many more bonus points. Don't use a temporary unregistered card, you can't take up most of the good aspects of the program with an unregistered card.

Good luck.

Haven't had a problem with using the same address for years.

Use a different email address for each account. They seem to be getting more careful with tracking this detail.

You can only link one QFF number to one Woolworths Rewards account. You can't put the same QFF number on a second Woolworths Rewards account.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Wont work. You can only use your QFF number with one account.

But your partner may have another QFF account number?

I just have my alternate accounts default to cash rewards.

Woolworths said in yesterday's profit report"Shoppers are no longer leaving Woolies or taking half their grocery list to Aldi but chief executive Brad Banducci said the supermarket giant was still "battling" to win back families." Comparable sales rose 3.4% after overall prices were lowered 2.4%. When will management realise that the new Rewards scheme was partly to blame for losing shoppers and it still doesn't match Flybuys with its many coughulative offers. If I go to Woolworths now I buy a gift card from NRMA (automatic 5% off) and then wonder why so few QFF points.

 

[Himeno]

When will management realise ...

They won't. Anything that they get told, that doesn't match what they think, is assumed to be wrong and ignored, or the cause of the issue blamed on the wrong thing.

Every few months, staff get the option to complete an anonymous survey about their work, any issues, how they like working there, etc. The survey is quite detailed once a year while the others are "pulse" surveys. The major surveys usually have a section where the staff member can write anything they want. A large number of issues have been raised since the surveys started, including mentioning the rewards program.
In many cases, the issues raised are problems created above store level. They assume that everything mentioned in the surveys were created at, and can be solved by, store level. As the problems raised were done above stores, nothing ever gets fixed, because the issues aren't things the stores have control over.

Simply put, head office blames the stores for things the store can't control, claims the store can control it and are blind to anything that proves them wrong.

At my local store on the weekend was surprised at the number of shoppers who had a fully trolley from Coles and were simply buying the specials, would estimate 10% or so

 

[wandering_fred]

A plus for Woolies. I have been told my my boss that the cheap frozen dinners at Woolies are vastly superior than Coles and I am to adjust the grocery shopping to reflect this. Other than that it seems specials only.

The next 870 QFF points will take a while.

Happy wandering
