By taking advantage of the Big W Family and Friends 10% off storewide deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146066) this weekend, you can effectively get 10% off storewide at a number of other stores by buying the desired store's gift card at Big W.

Step 1: Head to your local Big W this weekend with a printout of the flyer from the Big W 10% off deal.

Step 2: Go to the Gift Cards section (near Confectionery usually) and choose a gift card for the store you want 10% off at. These include:

  • Event Cinemas
  • Hoyts
  • Myer
  • David Jones
  • Jay Jays
  • Sportsgirl
  • Just Jeans
  • Smiggle
  • City Beach
  • Rebel Sport
  • Dymocks
  • BCF
  • Country Road
  • JB Hi-Fi
  • Kathmandu
  • Supercheap Auto
  • Dusk
  • The Iconic
  • AMF Bowling

and probably some others depending on what gift cards your local Big W has available.

Step 3: Purchase the gift card at the front registers for 10% off its price (e.g. a $100 Myer gift card will cost you $90).

Step 4: Redeem the gift card at the selected store. You'll have 12 months to redeem it.

EXCLUSIONS: 10% offer at Big W is not valid for any Woolworths Limited gift cards or WISH gift cards. All other gift cards are not excluded as far as I'm aware. Remember there's a $50 minimum spend at Big W to receive the 10% off offer.

      Most of the gift cards have pre-valued amounts on them. With JB, I believe they offer gift cards with face values of $50 and $100. So have fun waiting for 20 gift cards to activate :p

  • SLAMMA1102 on 30/05/2014 - 06:39

    If I buy some OMO annd hair crlers will I get 10 % off

  • TetrisMango on 30/05/2014 - 06:46

    I know the following additional gift cards are available at Woolworths stores, so I don't see why they wouldn't be at Big W as well:

    Red Balloon, EB Games, Xbox Live, Microsoft Money, PSN Money, Nintendo eShop Credit.

    Edit: iTunes, pre-paid Mastercard, pre-paid phone credit (and I suppose SIM cards)

    That's all I can think of, off the top of my head at the moment. Will add more if I can remember them.

    EXCLUSIONS: 10% offer at Big W is not valid for any Woolworths Limited gift cards or WISH gift cards.

    That's a shame. I would have purchased a Woolies gift card, then used that gift card to buy more gift cards, repeated and gotten 10% free credit every time.

    I guess they thought of it first.

    • danielh on 30/05/2014 - 07:53

      We have been discussing that above. We can possibly get Westfield cards instead. Only thing is that there may be an issue purchasing gift cards with other gift cards.

        Can you use the self service registers to buy the gift cards or do you have to go to a "real" person

        • snvl on 30/05/2014 - 08:50
          +1

          Real person. If you try self service you will get the "wait for assistance"

      • lostn on 30/05/2014 - 08:57

        Why would that be an issue?

  • plexor on 30/05/2014 - 08:29

    Westfield gift cards have a $5.95 fee on top of their face value, e.g. a $100 Westfield card is actually $105.95.

    10% off $105.95 is $95.355 so still a small saving but not much.

    • lostn on 30/05/2014 - 08:59

      Not worth it for compounding, but I want to buy something from Target. Is this still the only way?

      Is there a maximum value you can put on a Westfield card, or can you put any amount of credit you want?

  • scud70 on 30/05/2014 - 09:01

          i went good guys cuz they had a Bosch built in (version i need) for $598 (not the good version of Bosch obviously) but at least it's Bosch … thought well another 10% off would be good!

          is it me or does it get way more painful to do dishes manually after you've had a dishwasher! and not to mention the not so happy wife!

  • MrBillions on 30/05/2014 - 09:10

    If the item price at one of these stores is $560 then how much in $ do I need to buy gift cards for? Is it $504? ? I can't work it out.

    • imolared on 30/05/2014 - 09:18

      $560 worth of gift cards then you just pay $504 for it when checking out.

      • MrBillions on 30/05/2014 - 09:21

        Thanks so presumably it is $550 as in multiple of $100 or $50 . thanks!! +1

      Pretty sure you do. Got points for Myer gift cards from last time round.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/05/2014 - 10:33

      I have seen evidence that if you buy non WW cards at Woolworths, QFF points are paid on the transaction. I don't know if it will work at Big W but the pattern seems to indicate that it would work.

        haha I changed my mind after I read your comment but realised there is a $6 fee with the giftcards, not $3. Effectively making it a $10 saving. Petrol would cost more than that so I'll pass

  • Super8Tab on 30/05/2014 - 12:09

    Can I use any of these cards at Harvey Norman ? Cheers !

    This is a good deal but I thought I would share my bad experience with prepaid visa from Just4gift. The card was not even opened when I took it to the shop last week but the balance was only $5 remaining (meant to be $100). Had to ring the helpline which cost $1.50 to check transaction history. Sent an email, rang different number, found out it was used by someone else in Feb(not sure how they know the card number and CVV), so I had to lodge dispute form and wait. Not worth the effort!

      • S3ISOR on 31/05/2014 - 08:56

        Yeah, I tried to argue. Gave up after a while. The manager was trying to convince me that 'woolworths gift cards' meant all gift cards.

        • cloudie9 on 31/05/2014 - 09:02

          Just an update, good news after spewing the words "accc" manager reluctantly give an ok, and it works, what load of crap. Fine print didn't mentioned "myer" at all. Apparently their interpretation of "wish gifts cards" related to all. Dodgy.

    Just confirmed working at Waverley Gardens, Vic

    She suggested it was excluded so I insisted to read the wording that it only excludes Woolworths Limited gift cards. She read it word for word and reluctantly agreed to try it. She was all smiles when the discount came off when voucher was scanned.

    She wouldn't let me keep the printed voucher though so clearly she's never heard of OzBargain.

    I used it for Rebel and Country Road

        • unity1 on 31/05/2014 - 09:35

          So do you scan the barcode on the actual gift card or the barcode of the cardboard that the gift card is attached to?

        • sakinah on 31/05/2014 - 09:53
          +2

          Cover bar code on cardboard so the barcode on the card scans this also so it gets activated
          Basically if you scan as normal it gets error as it's detecting two bar codes
          I just took the cards off the cardboard and scan the cards because they were annoyingly covering part of the card barcode. I bought 2 myer card and 1 iTunes card in separate transactions as I have a me bank 5% cash back card

          I then went to myer and used the two myer cards right away to buy a $178 electric brush I wanted. Absolute bargain.

    At Doncaster Westfield Big W. They have removed all the DJ, Myer, JB etc gift cards and the flyer they are giving out at the front has the word Wish in the exclusions crossed out in pen. I guess you have to find a small Big W with less sneaky staff to buy one.

    I must hv been the 1st one in store , 1st the declined them as all gift cards and it won't go through. They showed me and it gone through! Then they had to confirm with manager and told it's fine to process them. But they had to do 3 cards at a time otherwise it'll crash their system. I've got 2 cards down and it's because they entered the card number inaccurately caused activation failed. They told me to get another card but then I found their mistake, showed it to them and managed to get that 2 cards too. On another register , a gentlemen is getting Westfield and myer cards, a cranky lady stopped him and came to my register and said these are all wish cards, and of course I argued they are not. And my register lady said but the system let the discounts through. They said this in front of me that they r waiting for phone call hopefully to stop this.

    In a nutshell, I've got my discount. I'd expect some decent customer service after all the are making sales. But I felt I was the one working and being nice to them and they are the cranky ones.

    I'm still happy with my discount!!!

      Also ask the nanager to stand in front of the Gift Card stand holding the flyer with his finger pointing at the exclusions for a photo for the ACCC.
      They could save all this disaster in Public Relations by just removing all the cards till Monday or leave it alone and add 1c to petrol for day or so and look like heroes.

    this is so frustrating! I was only after less than $200 (not $10000!!!) worth of gift cards and got in early at 9.30am at Doncaster Big W and the staff just sheepishly said they have been instructed not to sell the card with 10% discount. I tried the sell check out and it didn't scan through. I challenged the staff and said it's clearly written the Myer and David Jones card were not excluded. But they couldn't do anything about it. Didn't want to argue with them as my toddler was pulling at my pants and crying for attention but I am just angry when I see other big W honouring the offer! Does complaining to ACCC really help? This is unfair!

      Yes it does ST.
      Ring the WW complaints line first thing Monday and tell them the facts.
      I would be most surprised if they did not offer you a woolies voucher in compensation.

      If get nowhere ring the ACCC.
      Preferably ring the manager of the store today and get it official from him/her.
      Some time ago I had an issue with the QAN everyday card…got nowhere until I really threatened them..
      result refund of $89.00 fee for this year, no fee for next year plus $100 credit to cc.

    Didn't work at Melbourne QV store, they had signs at the gift card area saying they were excluded, I didn't see them until the lady pointed them out when I was trying to show her that it wasn't on the exclusion list at self checkout. Could have probably pulled the manager out since I refunded stuff from rebels to save a bit more but thought it really wasn't worth the fight to save $15 from $150. Still got 5% discount from INGcard plus another 5% from purchasing the item again (effectively 10% all together) since they usually don't reverse the 5% discount given to you when u refund a product. Still annoyed at the fact I wasted my Saturday morning to try save a tiny bit of cash and I ended up not saving much at all. Might consider complaining to ACCC just to let out my internal rage.

    Has anyone tried at Epping?

      Interesting that they put up the sign saying they're all excluded when theterms and conditions/exclusions at the bottom of the voucher do not say they are subject to change

    I first went to the service desk with the cards and voucher at big w Liverpool and asked if this discount would work. She scanned it and it worked then I did some more shopping and self checkout with the cards.

    The lady was a bit pissed at the manager saying to him on the phone a lady showed up with a voucher and the staff was not made aware of it and she wanted a printed copy so she could read the terms etc. her last comment was 'great today is going to be a busy day'
