Final vote: Official AFF nickname for "Woolworths Dollars"

[Mattg]

I reckon a simple W will suffice. I am up to W0.72 so far.

W0.72 more than me.

I'm resigning myself to the hopelessness of this situation. I've browsed 3 different local Woolworths stores in the last week and a half, and none of the stuff I regularly buy has a sticker on it. I have not once seen any fresh fruit or veg with a sticker on it - and that is by far the bulk of my shop as a vegan.

The offers I've received in my inbox have been for cough that I have never bought, and never would buy. There has got to be something seriously wrong with their data mining algorithm given that the targeted offers I'm getting to earn Woolworthless Dollars are so far off the mark.

The info they sent out to stores said that items sold by the kilo wouldn't get the orange tickets. I guess it's too "hard" to work out the total if something were to be something like W0.30/kg.
The only items in the fresh departments which could get any earn would be items sold by each. eg, sausages, deli cheese bar, produce prepacked punnets.

So you have the 'fresh food people' showing that fresh food has no part in their loyalty programme

Which is only going to have Woolies lose me as a customer. As mentioned on other threads, the way Coles operates by just awarding points on the total of the shop, with bonus points on certain items, allows me to collect points on every shop. Now effectively I have almost no chance of ever collecting points at Woolworths due to the type of groceries I buy - so my custom will move to Coles.

This is exactly the way loyalty schemes in the big supermarkets (Tesco and Sainsbury) in the UK work. IMO, it's the only way to run a loyalty scheme otherwise there is no loyalty as per the WWRupiah scheme.

I'm all for pesos, just plain pesos.

So, I guess it's 'WoolworthSomethingAgainButNotQuiteWhatTheyOnceDid Dollars', now, right?
