So a grand total of two people seem to be benefiting from the new scheme now
I'm way ahead with actual cash savings in my pocket from the new scheme.

How much is way ahead though.......can you back it up with a number?

So is mum. Suspect she won't let me earn QFF points again so I would have to buy the QFF points at face value.I'm way ahead with actual cash savings in my pocket from the new scheme.
Yeah but I'm only interested in a rwards scheme where I can get a few QF points at the scan of a card, no interest in playing a game of buy this brand or item created by a woolworths idiot enahncing things, I don't need the points that badly. If i find my weekly shop is costing more in January then its over to Coles.

Trade being slow before around noon on New Year's Eve is normal. Many people are sleeping in so they can be up past midnight. It tends to get quite busy on NYE between 2 and 5pm.I also couldn't happen to notice how quite the store was for 10am on New Year's Eve when compared to another busy trading period such as a Saturday morning , two months ago before the enhancement in the loyalty program.
A few years ago I previously resided in Bowral ( Southern Highlands, NSW) and Woolies were comprehensively the supermarket of choice in the region, due to the lack of competition from Coles.
A few weeks ago I revisited Bowral, and couldn't happen to notice that Coles have made a substantial investment in the town with enlarging and redesigning their store.
I suspect Woolies have been hurt badly now Coles are a formidable competitor in one of NSW most affluent regional centres.
The referbishment of that store had more to do with the fact that the Coles had been in a very run down state for more than a decade.
The referbishment of that store was also planned and approved by council many months before any changes to the WOW programme, so it's very tenuous to draw any connections.
Some members are looking for figures as to how much we have saved with the new rewards program.
Since the new program started my transactions have added up to a little over $450. I have received a total of $45 instant discounts from targeted offers and $40 off in Woolworths dollars from targeted offers. That's just under a 20% return. If I only counted the transactions after the targeted offer promotions started it's actually a 27% return.
I have ended up with just under $5 worth of Woolworths dollars earned from orange ticket products but won't be redeeming these for a long time unless Woolworths drastically increases the amount of orange ticket products.
I haven't factored in the QFF points as there were very few as my transactions were mostly under $50 and didn't earn much in the way of points. I also haven't factored in the discounted gift cards which I always use at Woolworths. I just wanted to show how the new loyalty program is working for my family.
It is working for many people. But some dinosaurs just don't like change - even when its good for them.
From what I have seen on social media, some people seem to think they have a god given right to earn FF points on everything they do......
It's a game, and the goalposts keep moving. Just need to keep up....

So you don't mind WW dictating to you what you should buy to earn some Pesos?
Its only working because they are throwing WW Peso's at a few people.. wait til that dries up. The new scheme has too many flaws to see it survive, I mean something conjured up by Ingrid Maes just spells disaster..
Anyway I've moved the bulk of my shopping to Aldo already. Better products, heaps cheaper and the few things I can't get there will be at Coles now just to give WW the finger..
