Woolworths gift card thread

[PLANT]

Finding ring around..... No one answers the phone.
Found one place with person that only look from counter and would not hold the 3 cards could see as "not fair for current customers in store"

Yes. I bought some on Wednesday using the same EDR card.

Such a shame that they enforce the limit on the day I find some stock.

So possibly they are now enforcing the 10x per EDR, with any previous purchase number irrelevant.

Will calculate and try to Max out accounts

Just to further elaborate, I bought 20+ on Wednesday, none on Thursday. I bought 8 on my EDR card Friday night (yesterday), tried to put 4 today but only 4000 bonus points on screen. So I cancelled transaction and bought 2.

The missus EDR card - 11th gift card had no bonus as well.

I think the limit on EDR card must have been imposed from yesterday or last night onwards?

 

[blingy90]

Intriguing.

Just to confirm - when you cancel the transaction you didn't lose any EDR bonus on your account?

 

[earlyriser]

Anyone noticed anyone re-stocking today or yesterday? Have not observed any of this in certain parts of the ACT.

If I create new edr account with a temporary barcode. Will it works immediately ?

Is my 5 month old daughter too young?

Is my 5 month old daughter too young?

Nope. My 4yp and 2yo have been WW rewards members for over a year. Entered their real DOB and had no issues. Kids accounts have other benefits too. I was also told last year when buying Perfect EFTPOS cards at a store that it was limited to 10pp. I said fine I will have 10 and so will my son. Attendant tried to be clever and said that's ok but it will need to go on your sons card. Attendant was not so happy when I showed him said card!

Confirmed this issue started yesterday afternoon or overnight as I had issues this morning with different EDR cards

Do you get targeted offers on the junior accounts? At one stage Woolworths weren't sending targeted offers on accounts where the member was less than 18. I wonder whether they have changed the rules again.

When I put 4 through this morning (after 8 last night), and scanned my EDR card, it showed 4000 bonus points on the screen. I then got the attendant to cancel the transaction and put 2 through.

Looks like WWR is going to be getting a spike in memberships

Apologies - let me rephrase.

I'm assuming you have the $10 auto-redeem on your EDR (you may not so feel free to correct).

When you went to do your transaction today - you would have had bonus $$$ on your EDR which would automatically apply to reduce the cost of your 4 cards you attempted to put through today.

When you cancelled the transaction - you didn't lose the exisiting bonus on your EDR? I would assume not.

Just trying to clarify - I have personally only put through 21x (inc 8 mid yesterday). I was hoping for 8 more so just trying to figure my next move.

I have it set to convert to Qantas Points. I scanned 4 cards, then scan my EDR card, which then showed on the top left of screen that only 4000 bonus points (which should be 8000 for 4 GC). I still have all my existing bonus prior to this on my WR account. The concern now is whether WR will backtrack and deduct the bonus points such that the T&C says limit of 10 GC per person.

 

[SOPOOR]

I've been calling a few stores and all but one have said none and not getting any more

One store said they were supposed to get them yesterday but it didn't come.

So who knows whether they're getting any more.
Promo finishes on Tuesday night I believe

Ah fair enough. Thank you for the clarification and quick reply.

To avoid this risk, I have just changed my redemption settings to the $10 cashback option to cash in all my banked up points. I shall cash it in now by buying more visa cards.

As I think Dr Ralph mentioned up thread there is still plenty of stock in stores outside capital cities.

6 of my local stores in Sydney had zero stock from Wed on wards. On Friday I headed up the north coast and each store I have visited had 10 plus cards, brilliant. In the last 2 days I've managed to pick up 23 cards using 3 different EDR accounts. Tomorrow I'll pick up another 10 or so.

None. Not sure if due to age or that their spend isn't frequent enough to build a pattern. Accounts have only been used for deals such as this where a limit per person applies (or is said to apply)
