Woolworths gift card thread

[Brissy1]

I'm hanging out for Uber cards, does anyone know of any other supermarket gift card which can be used for Uber? Apart from the prepaid visa of course.

Took advantage of the current promo and purchased a stack of TCN gift cards. Going to purchase my last lot of 10 tomorrow before the promo runs out. Intend to buy a MacBook Air and drone amongst some things from JB Hi-Fi before my trip next week. Presumed these were EFTPOS only and have been mentally preparing for the eye rolling when I present a fat stack of cards. Apparently according to their site these cards can be individually converted to an emailed code which is then redeemable online with the fine print stating an unlimited number of codes can be used per transaction. This might be time consuming on my part but would save the team member and others in the queue the misery. Has anyone done this and do the codes typically come through straight away once converted?

You won't have any issues with a large number of gift cards/eftpos cards in store. 50 is my record, so far. They are very used to it in my experience.

I hit a limit of maybe 5 when using jb hifi gift voucher online (that got convrted from tcn). Trying to buy larger jb hifi voucher with smaller one failed (online again). That was 1.5 years ago. Try and go to jb hifi at a quiet time? I didnt have any issue for a 1.5k purchase

Is 6x the best of these ww cards offers usually?? I like the card integration with Everyday Pay and wouldn't bother with the eftpos cards

The usual offering is around 6-7x points but we've seen lower and higher in previous years. The benefit of this one is that you're not limited to a maximum spend of just $250, $300 or $350. Here's a list of the last few to give you an idea:

I bought it this morning. There is a max of $500 (3,000 WW points). It’s very convenient and just goes straight into your Everyday Rewards wallet.

Did you get the points instantly or do you have to wait to be manually credited after the promotional period?

I have bought one of these each time (about once each month). The t&c say 14 days after the completion of the promo. And that’s pretty much when they arrive each time. Once they weren’t there at 14 days and I rang and had the points credited, and they turned up a couple of days later as well (but after the 14 days). They never come immediately like they do when buying a gift card in store.

6x points is a 3% return, so not worth bothering with if you have access to discounted gift cards via another source, such as the car clubs.

Agree unless you are desperate for Points Club (but much easier to tot up points from more lucrative giftcard offers)

Oh dear. Are they finally removing the ability to get $500 EFTPOS cards

No deal if the $500 Eftpos cards can't be purchased. They are getting more restricted nowadays in terms of using them.

Woolworths has a habit of only sometimes excluding the $20-500 variable load card. I don't think this promotion alone is evidence of a permanent change. Hopefully we'll see it back in the next one.

So, this is a loss of 95 cents per card if converting to WW dollars, or purchasing QF points at 1.19c/p.
I miss the days of 20x.

The $500 card was available just 6 weeks ago, the last time the Perfect Gift Card was the offer. These things cycle around.
