Options with EDR points earn

IME, changing from banking to Qantas points often requires manual intervention to ‘unstick’ the points.

Now the EDR website is down...was trying to look up their number to call them. :(

I’ve managed to “unstick” points transfers using the method mentioned earlier via the Rewards app.

Tried what you described...but didn't work so now on hold to EDR listening to very annoying music!

Edit:
So finally got through after 30 mins...she did the TF manually and said it could take up to 20 mins for the points to hit my Qf account...nothing yet..she said it should normally happen automatically! Already spent too much time this morning on this issue. :(

2nd Edit:
30 mins later, Qf points have now hit my acct...well on the way now to retaining QF Points Club for another year. :)

There’s an occasional bug where points build up and don’t auto transfer. The work around was switching to $s and then immediately back to QFF points. That usually works faster than Metamucil to move things alone.

I have a vague recollection that mine didn’t automatically transfer after turning off Bank for Xmas at the start of August. I must have used the same work around above?
Mine didn't auto transfer when I turned off Bank for Xmas at the start of October, however I soon ticked over another 2K Woolies Reward points and at that moment, the whole lot pushed over to Qantas.
 
Hi folks - I will requalify for QF PC+ with many months to spare, so now reconsidering whether I need to hoard as much in EDR for the next membership year as I did, last year. The question I have for you all is: If I do set my EDR preference to 'Automatic Savings' / $10 off next shop', can I still decide whether or not I apply savings to a shop, or does it just apply it regardless? If I have multiples of $10 in credit, does it apply all that credit, or only one per shop? Thanks!

Cheers,
Matt.

It is optional.

I believe you can select how much (although this can confuse check out staff and/or who might not even offer you such an option).
Money off your shopping

When your balance has hit 2000 Everyday Rewards points, you’ll have the option to enjoy $10 off your shopping^ in-store or online at Woolworths, Everyday Market from Woolworths, BWS, BIG W, MyDeal, Petstock, MILKRUN, the Everyday Rewards Shop and participating EG Ampol (operated by EG Australia)+ when you checkout. If you don’t choose to enjoy your savings, your Everyday Rewards dollars balance will be available to enjoy on your next or another future Eligible Shop^. You will be asked at the checkout how much you want to enjoy. You can choose to stagger your savings across shops, in multiples of $10 off.

Excellent - I'm always at a self-checkout or use Scan&Go, so no issues with staff messing it up; it'll only be me to blame! Seems like aside from the hassle of being asked each time you shop, this might be a more flexible means to store EDR points and then convert to QFF at intervals, if you decided to?

Cheers,
Matt.

Not relevant for you since you avoid the staff issue, but we have had some simply apply the discount without even asking. (I guess most take the $10 off and they think it saves time.)

Yep - I’ll run it this way for a couple of months and see how it goes.
