Woolworths backflips - QF points are coming back

Re: Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

Yes they do - Bunnings Joondalup to name one...

Only the ultra small or old stores do not.

No gift cards accepted at bunnings self-serve though.
A shame as there is scope to extract a few extra points with them

Even better if you have an ABN is to get a Bunnings PowerPass which gives you discounts of up to 10% (rare) on most building products. Set it up as cash only and use Bunnings' gcs purchased with WoW or Coles' discount gcs = Win Win Win Win.

As Bunnings have fixed value gcs not adjustable value - they cash out the change below $10 (sometimes more). I know of some people who when they are not in a hurry buy each item at Bunnings separately and harvest the cash (as a matter of principle due to their love of Westfarmers).

So they're effectively get cash as 95 cents in the dollar.


The things people will do.

Re: Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

Spent $250 tonight to trigger my WWR$30 for $200 spend. Had WRR$8.59 on the card when I walked into the shop. Got WWR$1 from a purchase, then the WWR$30 from the targeted offer, then the catalogue had a spend $100 get wwr$10 so scanned that - upto WWR$41. Then $10 came off the shop and I had WWR45.89 on my card. $51 return on $250 spend - 20%!! You can keep your QFF points




Umm, self service is perfect if doing things like buying gift cards with gift card, surely.

Your arithmetic is quite persuasive.

Your arithmetic is quite persuasive.

Just checked the account activity, as the numbers didn't exactly add up with approx. WWR$4 discrepancy. Seems there was a WWR$6.10 credit on 16 December (listed as "All Stores") from a $42 shop (14%). That combined with the WWR$8.59 balance roughly makes the numbers right.

the general All Stores WWR$6.10+8.59 gave me the unexpected WWR$10 credit on the $250 shop. that shop earned WWR$41. Down to about 17% return.

WW$0.38 on a $38 shop today...

Though I did see a few orange stickers - which had no appeal.

Happy wandering

$0 on a $100 purchase today. Winner.

 

[Kangol]

Funnily enough today's $31 shop had the WW$5 credited instantly. It brought the balance to just over WW$10 and it came up on the self checkout screen - "you have now got $10 off your next purchase" or something similar.
Last week's $30 purchase took a few days to credit.

I got $65 Woolies $ on a $400 shop today. Pity they can't yet be converted to points ....

Hoard! That's like 5000 points!

Do your cat and dog have EDR cards for the meantime?

The whole thing just seems a mess.

My total Woolies dollars stands at $4.38 since the new rewards. Could be a long time tip bonus time.

Thinking about the QFF points conversion of $10 Woolworths dollars = 870 QFF points it appears to be more generous than before.

With the current promotions one can earn $10 Woolworths dollars for $30 spend without including any Woolworths dollars accumulated on orange sticker items. That's an easy 870 QFF points. Previously you may have received an offer of 500 bonus points fof $100 spend or 750 bonus points for $180 spend or 1000 bonus points for $270 spend.

It would be very tempting for me but hard to convince mum to forgo $10 discount for 870 QFF points.

What with half price deals on a number of long life products as well as a good number of travel Tens before they scotched those - total spend north of $1,000.

Total WoW Pesos - $4.38.

Glad I'm getting the QFF points as well. Just no 250 or 500 point offers.

WoW the new Grinch in my book!

That's a good point and I'm trying to remember the initial advertising for woolies rewards. I thought it said something like the average person would get WWR$10 by spending $108 for 7 weeks.Lets call that $750 for 870 points. That's better than 560 points (7*(108-30)). But on the flip side earning WWR$ doesn't seem to match that advertising.

I wonder if Woolies realise how confusing its Rewards program is - different offers etc .
Its enough to turn people off.

But as long as it turns enough people on...

Correct, but is it, even when I say to the Woollies check out staff I'm getting ready to throw my card out they agree that other customers are saying the same thing.

Woollies changed the only thing many people wanted.

It's confusing to the people who are meant to be running it. I'm seeing comms come through at least once or twice a week about some sort of issue with the orange tickets.

Had a $138.00 spend today and used the $20.00 off voucher, which was useful and appreciated, all the other items were competitive against Coles.

Total amount of WOWless Dollars earned ZERO
