Qantas, Woolworths, BP, Ampol, EG Ampol

[IrishPete]

Am I the only person made dizzy trying to understand the Woolworths Everyday Rewards links with other programs?

I have all my Everyday Rewards points set to transfer to Qantas.
I generally buy fuel based on price, and in my area that's often a BP, so yay, more Qantas points (direct, not through Everyday Rewards).

But I can also earn Everyday Rewards At Ampol and EG Ampol, can't I, which will eventually convert to Qantas points.

Sometimes the fuel discounts frmo supermarket shopping make the big chain service stations (Ampol and Coles) cheaper than the competitors. should also be able to use my 4c Woolworths discount at EG Ampol, though last (and it was also the first time in years!) time I tried to use it at Ampol, it didn't happen. Maybe this was because I used my NRMA membership discount too and they don't "stack"? (When it comes to Coles/Flybuys/Virgin, you can stack discounts (Linkt and Flybuys being the ones I use).)

I agree with your thoughts .
I've given up trying to get EDR points via petrol stations!
Just too complicated!

Then add on the layer of trying to understand which discounted gift cards you can use where, and managing different accounts within your household to try to optimise "spend X on fuel, get X00 bonus points"

You can use your 4c discount at EG stations and get points.
You can get points at Ampol stations (but no 4c).

You can tell EG and Ampol apart by looking at the massive sign - if it says “EG” and 4c discount - it’s EG. If its says “AMPOL” it’s Ampol.

BP has nothing to do with Everyday Rewards so it doesn’t really add to the confusion.

Yes, you can earn QFF points through BP and Ampol. But one involves Everyday Rewards and the other doesn’t.

BP is a direct partner of Qantas through being a QFF partner. Everyday Rewards has nothing to do with BP

Ampol is an indirect Qantas partner through the Everyday Rewards program which gives you the option to convert ER points to QFF points.

Thanks.

I think the Everyday Rewards app and website are ambiguous about the fuel discount. So in effect, I can't stack NRMA and Woolworths discounts, dammit. Last night I got diesel for 185.9 in Goulburn NSW by stacking Flybuys and Linkt. Could have got it for 183.9 but that service station is awkward to get to.and out of again.

I've only recently started using EDR a bit.morr, because I couldn't get their app or website to work - I couldn't log in. Password reset said it was sending me an email message which never arrived. I finally but the bullet and sat in the queue for their online chat. They solved the mystery. I had an email address on file, but not a mobile number. I had also opted out of email marketing, so when their two-factor authentication tried to send me an email to reset the password, the opt-out overrode and stopped it from being sent. Bizarre programming!

Now I have the app working and I'm taking advantage of "Points Booster" offers, I am seeing the Qantas points accumulate very quickly!

If its says “AMPOL” it’s Ampol

Except when it is not. I’ve been caught out by several well branded Ampol stations that don’t accept NRMA/Toyota discounts or ER cards as they are an ‘independent’.

You can use your 4c discount at EG stations and get points.
You can get points at Ampol stations (but no 4c).

You get the 4c discount (from spending $30+ at woolworths) at both.
You get an extra 4c per L fuel discount for spending $5 at the stations store at one and not the other.

And this is why I am confused. But maybe the 4c discount from shopping at Woolworths doesn't "stack" with the NRMA discount at Ampol?

 

[CorporateFlyerMEL]

In Vic, you can 'stack' the 4c WW discount with RACV 5c discount at EG stations, and get the everyday reward points.

Similarly at Shell, you can 'stack' the AFL 4c with Coles 4c and get flybuys points also.

Just a bit annoying flipping through different apps...

Ah okay. It seems 4c at Ampol is at “participating stations” which seems to be none in Victoria or at least none around me.

I therefore retract my initial reply to the OP saying its not confusing.

All Ampol Foodary accept the EDR card for points. However, at least 200+ 'participating' Ampol Foodary also accepts the 4c as well, but is 'not stackable' with the Ampol Foodary partner discounts (NRMA, etc).

Ampol Foodary and EG Ampol has their own set of partner discounts. Independent Ampol franchisees are not related to Ampol Foodary or EG.

There are 3 types of Ampol outlets.
* Ampol owned (Trading as Ampol Foodary)
* EG Ampol (the largest Ampol franchisee owned by EG, who took over the 'Woolworths Caltex' outlets in 2018)
* All other independent/franchised Ampol outlets (generally has 'Ampol (suburb name)' if Family operated or a independent convenience company using their name e.g "Foodworks Ampol" or "Sunrise Ampol").

What makes it even more confusing is that the point calculation at BP is based on litres purchased. The point calculation at EDR is based on $ of fuel purchased.

Don't get me started on what happens when they both have bonus points on offer !

You get the 4c discount (from spending $30+ at woolworths) at both.
You get an extra 4c per L fuel discount for spending $5 at the stations store at one and not the other.

The extra 4c for $5 spend is only at EG Ampol.

The base 4c discount (spending $30 at WW) is available at 'participating' Ampol Foodary and all EG Ampol stations.

As outlined in another post (with the link to the guide provided), EG and Foodary has their own partner discounts (i.e RACV is at EG whilst NRMA is at Foodary).

Its just too complicated for me!

If you thought EDR was confusing, just wait till the Coles phase-out at Shell is done with stores rebranding to either the Reddy Express or OTR brands. Both brands will eventually be linked to the Flybuys system as the rebranding progresses.

 

[nancypants]

scrolled through but didn't see it- does anyone have issues with EDR card not scanning/sticking at EG. Feels like it's every time. Scan, shows up on screen, 4c/L discount is recorded, then go to pay and it has vanished. Don't always notice in time. Only noticed today because I needed to claim reimbursement for the fuel from work and noted the "you could have earned 66 woolworths points" down the bottom- um wot?

Retroclaiming EG receipts is not particularly easy and you can't retroclaim the discount (annoying)

Am just wondering if it is some kind of user error (noting I am in Darwin) or perhaps relates to using contactless for both?

Its even more confusing in SA where there are BP/OTR co-branded fuel stations but i dont believe any in of these in SA are linked to BP/QF rewards.

Didnt know that was happening, interesting!

They're not, so it's only the handful of non-OTR BP's where you can get QF points through. There is some talk that BP will partner up with X Convenience, however. Hopefully X Convenience will participate.

Interestingly under the old BP VA program OTR did participate in that.

The Woolies Rewards discount with EG Fuels does stack with Origin Energy's EG Fuels offer - so that's another way to get the discounts and the Woolies points to convert to QFF points.
