Woolworths gift card thread

[Mr_Orange]

So now it looks like Everyday Pay is not making a come back.

I never used it anyway since I wasn't going to be forced to store my bank card details with Woolworths.

They'd only store a token, not card number, just like Google or Apple Pay.

Imo it was ultra convenient the everyday Pay. I won't be using gift cards now by punching in the amount left, that's so 2023.

Completely agree. I assume the technical or PR risk must have been massive, or user base small, to justify shutting it down.

Didn't it get hacked a couple of weeks ago?

Think it was a phishing scam, so not really hacked.

From Wed 5 Jun 2024:

• Limit of five $50 or $100 cards per day (multiple transactions allowed).
• Limit of two $25-500 variable load cards per day (one transaction per day).
• Gift card purchase fees apply ($5.95-7.95).

These cards are from the same company that produces the popular Coles Mastercards so they should work at all the same places (e.g. payments to the ATO). For each $500 card you buy, you're essentially paying $7.95 (the purchase fee) to earn 2,500 Qantas points or $25 worth of Everyday Rewards Dollars.

0.32c/p ain't bad if you have somewhere to empty the cards!

It's actually getting down to credit card churn levels, which is fairly incredible for a gift card offer.

Expect these to fly off the shelves. Good lucking find one!

Bought a some variable cards this morning. Heaps of stock @ my local Mascot Woolies but there were two others also scouting out the cards shortly after opening so they probably won’t last long.

 

[Blackswan]

Also oodles this morning at Woolies Mount Hawthorn (WA).

 

[Happy Dude]

Don't forget it's max two per day per account for the variable load.

Plenty of these at my local Woolies today. And no issue buying 2x $500 in one transaction. She said something about it asking for a business name but she just decided to put some random name in there. Paid the $1,015.90 in one transaction without the need for a supervisor.

Same this morning except the self serve attendant refused to allow me to buy them and directed me to the regular staffed checkouts.

 

[aikman]

I recommend buying these at a human checkout. The amount of pop ups and manual approvals required is over the top insane.

 

[andye]

I managed to buy 4x2 this morning at various checkout types. Agree the self-checkout is tedious. Would have preferred to spread out over the week (for Points Club purposes) but suspect stock will disappear soon. As predicted they are accepted widely

 

[TripleB]

I found about a dozen variable load cards at my local. Someone had hidden them on the other side of the gondola end on the bottom shelf behind the boost pre-paid sims. Unfortunately for them I very helpfully moved them all back to the empty spot next to the $100 cards from where they had obviously been taken, less the two which I bought...

I'll be back at 7am tomorrow to see if any remain. Hopefully there are 2 more I can buy.

 

[33kft]

I hit 3 different WW locations today and found a total of 0 variable load cards.
