I have no idea what a 'pesos' is in this context (WOW is an Australian company, it does not operate in Mexico), but your comment doesn't make sense in any case. No one is dictating what you buy. You have full choice in the matter.
Peso is commonly used to describe a poor currency, which is what the new WW dollars are... WW are trying to dictate what you should buy (buy token of the orange labels). If it was a proper scheme you'd earn on ALL purchases. But WW decides what you will earn on. If you believe otherwise you are really gullible.
The best value you can get from the new card is to not use it and wait for the bonus offers of cash back to get you into the store. This is just like the QFF points that they'd throw at you if you hadn't used your card under the old system. But now these enticements are MUCH more generous and instant.
Why should I have to wait? I shop every week, so now I voted with my feet and shop elsewhere. Shopping at Aldi the savings are instant.. Coles, well flybuys earns at better rates than WW Pesos too..
I stand firmly by my earlier considered statement:
"It is working for many people. But some dinosaurs just don't like change - even when its good for them."
Here's a link for you to find out more about WOW dollars (not 'pesos'):

But if you did actually mean 'pesos' as in the context of this article about Mexican garlic farmers, that may change everything:
Aussie growers ask if Woolies takes pesos
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your statement. If you really think the scheme is so good, why did WW bring in a half baked FF solution? You really think the program is that good? c'mon who are you kidding here....
