Woolworths gift card thread

[Dr Ralph]

Thanks for these - interesting that they'll let you buy multiple cards and let it count in the one transaction. I'd be keeping receipts if you bought them in-store too (first time I've seen them do that).

It's posisble that this offer may appear in the next catalogue to be issued?

7x points (7 points/$ spent) on Woolworths, Big W, BWS and Dan Murphy gift cards through their gift cards website until Feb 14. Minimum $120 spend. (Can't seem to find any T&C's for the offer though, they may just be putting it online now...)

Edit: T&C's now online. Only applies to one transaction, but can include multiple cards in single transaction. Also available instore.

Thanks for the heads up.

Bought $500 worth to finish off a CC min spend.

Be aware. This just failed for me. Got 'savings not available' on the EFTPOS machine.

Post automatically merged: Feb 2, 2022

Seems things may have changed

Update: now tried at 3 different stores (Coles, Chemist Warehouse, Ampol). 'No savings account' comes up every time.

There's two possibiities:

1) My card hasn't activited correctly. I can't check the balance online I get 'INVALID CARD DETAILS'. So this could be the issue. But the Woolworths receipt indicates 'activation was successful'
2) These are no longer EFTPOS anywhere cards and can only be used at Westfield stores.

The game may have changed!

Update 2:

I have spoken directly to Westfield gift cards. Seems my card hasn't yet been aciviated. I've been told to wait 48 hours and try again.

I will update after that time as to whether these are still functioning as an EFTPOS card.

If you are buying these, my suggestion is to check the balance before you try to spend.

Update 3:

1 hour 24 mins later I can now see my card balance online.

Update 4:

I have now used multiple activated cards with different merchants in the usual way an EFTPOS card is used, including Coles, BP and a local bottle shop. All fine.

Update 5: Purchased 20 more tonight. None have activately so far. 3.5 hours later. There seems no consistency with activation time.

Update 6: Cards purchased last night have still not activated more than 12 hours later.

Update 7: 17 hours later, 19 of the 20 purchased last night now activated.

Update 8: 26 hours later. 1 card still not activated.

Update 9: 38 hours after purchase my last card has activated.

Has anyone attempted to buy one with one?

I asked about this and then if I could use an e-wish card or a WOW store e-GC. Was told "no you can't use a GC to buy a GC". I also tried to use the monthly discount for an insurance policy but also told no as that is not not applicable for GCs. I ran out of ways to try to stack offers after that.

All points have posted as expected now too.

Sorry not clear. I meant the links from places like NRMA,HCF,Entertainment Book etc. It was a sad day when they stopped the ability to use an eWish buying GCs

When checking the balance of these cards (Welcomed at over 8,000 retailers | Westfield Gift cards), I'm getting:

'INVALID CARD DETAILS'

for every card I've checked.

Anyone else getting this?

Working again now. This was for a card which I purchased 5 days ago. Had already been using part of the balance on it.

I just love combining multiple offers...

Such as Buying the 'Him' (& any of its cousins such as Teen) Card for 10% off, then using the current 20% off all DVDs at JB HiFi with an additional 'one day only' extra 10% off DVDs. All up made 35% off. Add in that JB HiFi are cutting the number of titles they carry - and voila - 12 DVDs @ 65 cents each. Some were only added to JB's catalogue in Jan 2022 (@$9.98) - go figure. The bulk are distributed by Village Roadshow.

Admission: Bought the Teen card previously & used it to get the 35% off last Thursday.

BTW: Most will probably know this BUT just in case - you can convert your 'Him' (& cousins) GC into an e-JB HiFi card via the Card Network site via the 'how to use' page for each card. It by default shows the 'physical' use method, just click on the online use & it will take you through a quick process to use some (or all) of your balance to buy an eGC to enable online purchases....

DVDs at JB HiFi

DVDs - what are these prehistoric things you speak of? Surely you should be buying Blu Ray or 4K UHD?

No, easier to make 'back-up' copies from plain DVDs using USB sticks to play on laptop, PC, TV (here & overseas when travelling). Next I'll finally get around to backing up my cassette tapes....
