Woolworths gift card thread

[Dr Ralph]

I'm new to Woolies rewards. Does this offer for example and the earlier EFTPOS gift card offer that you posted allow them to be redeemed only once or is it the bonus points multiplied by the amount you purchase? Says up to 10 cards per customer but doesn't state the amount of overall points you could earn like flybuys usually do.

Traditionally Woolworths offers don't have limits, except that their system can't process more than 10 cards in 1 transaction.

I have so far purchased 50 x $50 the perfect gift cards and have received the 1000 bonus points for each transaction.

Slightly OT for the thread, but are they adding to your point club tally?

I’ve bought a few too and I’m wondering if there’s a cap per retailer that I’ve missed.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Yes. Well in this instance for Mrs Dr Ralph. Who reached points club plus today.

With the increased X points for supermarket spend from Amex, I'll be buying a lot more of these.

You and me both.

Essentially the net cost of the $50 cards is $0.95 if paid for in cash... (2000 points =$10 discount of the shopping)
Whats the benefit?

Wasn't in the catalogue, but the $50 cards are also part of the promotion. 1000 points as well. $5.95 fee.

Amex increase in points for supermarket spend.

 

[Quickstatus]

But you could do that without gift cards?? Am I missing something?

 

[Dr Ralph]

I'd use 5% off WISH card for regular supermarket spend

 

[Quickstatus]

Yes I do too. Amex buys the 5% egiftcards.

But the $55.95 gift cards? . Might as well stick with the 5% off egiftcards.

 

[Dr Ralph]

If you like but can you spend $10,000 just at Woolworths? I know I can't. But I can spend that sum outside of Woolworths.

 

[Captain Halliday]

E-gift cards are excluded from the Amex offer.

Physical gift cards are not.

Though my Amex accrues 2:1 for WOWeGC.

So hypothetically I could purchase a stack of the EFTPOS cards and use them to pay for bills at a post office swiping one card at a time and deducting the value of the card? My most recent ~$1200 AGL power bill could be paid with these cards in that case but I'll just have to figure out if its worth it with the Qantas points I'd earn. My platinum velocity AMEX isn't seeing anymore use until we get a better idea on the future of the Virgin/Velocity so it leaves me with the Coles MC. I'll crunch the numbers when I have less alcohol in my system..

 

[Quickstatus]

It’s a generic eftpos card. It’s a bit PITA to have to do multiple eftpos $50 transactions for a single purchase.

 

[Nathant123]

Possible to get clarification on the BIG W promo where the $100 Ultimate Home cards earn 2000 points each? Again, states 10 per customer but nowhere in the T&Cs does it state 2000 each or 2000 overall. Reason I ask is I have a number of things I'm planning on getting from JB HIFI and if each card earns the 2000 points so long as I can use multiple cards at JB for a single sale then that would amount to a fair few points.

This did not work at the PO a few months ago - has it been put back in play? It was the reason I stopped purchasing

You shouldn't encounter any problem with multiple cards.

 

[Nathant123]

Thanks mate. So the 2000 pts per card should still apply?

 

[Dave G]

Yep - done the multiple card at JB often - end up with a super long receipt

at both a nearby LPO (today) and an AP owned store (yesterday)
