    Any idea if these can be used like wish gift cards (ie. Any of the wish group stores)? The Dan Murphy's physical gift cards could but not sure about these ones.

    • SBOB on 01/12/2014 - 18:03

      the T&C's say "Redeemable at all BIG W stores"

      • scrypton on 01/12/2014 - 18:16

        You can buy gift cards from BIG W stores, including Wish gift cards, Myer, David Jones and more, so there is that "conversion path".

        • cloudy on 01/12/2014 - 18:19

          I'msure this has been asked before, but does the machine let it happen?

          @cloudy: I don't know if the machine lets it happen but I usually buy my DJ's cards from Woolworths at the counter using WISH gift cards and I've never had a problem. Only word of warning is it takes about 24 hours to activate, you can't just buy them from Woolworths and hop over to another shop and use them right away. In my experience anyway, YMMV.

    • antn149 on 01/12/2014 - 18:24

      Sorry for this but are you meaning the Dan Murphy's physical gift cards can be used at Woolworth Group? Thanks

      • team teri on 01/12/2014 - 18:54

        The ones I got from Dan's are Wish gift card - just with Dan Murphy's branding. And yes, they work elsewhere, i.e. Woolies.

        • antn149 on 01/12/2014 - 19:23

          Oh I see, my local shop only sell Dan Murphy gift card which doesn't have logos of other shops at the back. I guess I can only use at Dan Murphy. Thank for let me know.

          @antn149: Dan Murphy Gift cards can be used at Woolworths, Big W and Masters.

        • antn149 on 01/12/2014 - 19:47

          @rabbit71: Great! Thank for letting me know. I may try to see if I can shop with my current $50 DM gift card :D. Thanks guys!

    • phantom on 01/12/2014 - 18:26

      Dan Murphy's physical cards work at other woolies group stores. As per the terms on the cards, Wish gift card terms and conditions apply. Would be interested in knowing if these ecards work elsewhere. When I went through the terms onlinea few weeks ago, they all seemed to work across stores.

    • tomclancy on 01/12/2014 - 19:13

      This list suggests there is no difference between different eGift Cards from WW Group. I assume, like all physical gift cards, that any eGift Card bought from WW Group (doesn't matter what brand is on the front) can be used where eGift cards are accepted.

      ps - great spotting OP

      • rabbit71 on 01/12/2014 - 20:00

        Certainly with the physical cards, you can use anywhere within the group. I'm hoping this is the same for the eGift cards as well. I have used Dan Murphy Big W and Masters physical cards at Woolworths.

        • czking on 02/12/2014 - 13:10

          @czking:

          DS used to be owned by WW Group and the wish gift card thing is a legacy agreement. Kind of like the Coles Myer gift card only this agreement is one way (wish can be used in DS, but DS cards can't be used in WW).

    They are literally all the same cards just with differnt faces, like the event cinemas cards.

    Well I can confirm that you can purchase gift cards for gift cards on self serve machines and service desks, I have tried numerous of times at coles, coles express, Woolworths Caltex, woolies, and food for less, Officeworks, just don't let any staff know… The only place that does not work is bloody Myers, As their system detects it.

    Edit: forgot to mention Kmart, coles myer card for any other card, including Visa prepaid cards.

    • zzyss on 02/12/2014 - 08:08

      "Edit: forgot to mention Kmart, coles myer card for any other card, including Visa prepaid cards"

      This I'd have to see to believe. Usually you can't pay prepaid visa/mc balances using anything other than cash/EFTPOS…

  • JetBombat on 01/12/2014 - 19:35
    +6

    So, you have to buy "the book" for $55-70 before you can use it? About $750-950 to spend on giftcards to recoup the price if you don't have the book, is this right?

    • cnrmlj on 01/12/2014 - 19:38
      +12

      Yes, but there are so many other great deals in the book. We buy one every year and get our money back within a month max.

      • scrypton on 01/12/2014 - 20:30

        I believe the Sydney books are now $50 if you ask existing members to buy it for you. May be cheaper for books for other areas.

    • PVA on 01/12/2014 - 20:42

      exactly what I was thinking. A lot of money for 2.5% discount.

    • SmiTTy on 02/12/2014 - 07:11

      depending on where you shop normally… I prefer to do all my shopping at woolies , fillup at caltex … etc so I can go through $700-800 in two months.
      so it just makes sense. not to mention all the other deals as others have mentioned

  • webtherapist on 01/12/2014 - 20:40

    i dont have Entertainment account, how to get some?

    • PVA on 01/12/2014 - 20:42

      you have to buy the book for $55-$70 dollars first

        • PVA on 01/12/2014 - 20:44

  • chrisoz on 01/12/2014 - 21:41

    The entertainment book is great if you eat out and want to try places. With the gift cards and discounts you get from restaurants and other places, you make the $60 very quickly.

    Also I buy the Woolies e gift card, use it for petrol, groceries, even buying Myer, JB or DJ gift cards from Woolies. Extra 5% off plus extra FF points.

    • adpaholic on 03/12/2014 - 11:41

      and then use it for PayPal. lol

    • TCM on 02/12/2014 - 06:34

      I've tried this before and it doesn't work. You can buy the actual VISA cards for $5 (or whatever it is) but when it comes to putting money on the card it doesn't let you use the giftcard. You can't even use a credit card.

      Yes you can however why not do it at Woolies instead? You earn double the amount of frequent flyer points compared to Big W.

      Over $30 spend at Big W = 1 point per $2
      Over $30 spend at Woolies = 1 point per $1 (plus a fuel voucher if you need it)

          Make sure you head to one of the bigger woolies stores. I find they stock the $100 JB cards compared to the smaller stores that only have the $50 ones.

          Also the self serve has a limit of $500 before it spazzes out. Housemate ran $1500 worth of Myer gift cards and had to do 3 transactions. Looked dodgy as but eh.

    (Long time follower, first time poster. Moderator, if I'm not allowed to post yet, please pass on any info you think is useful.)

    I've been in touch with the Gift Card team quite a bit and here's what I've found out over the past few months.

    Delay in receiving eGift cards:

    • Apparently they are generated in batches every few hours, not automatically. Don't expect immediate delivery, order your eGift cards well ahead.

    • First you get an invoice by email, then am email containing a link to the e-card. If this is not happening for you, check the status online at everydaygiftcards.com.au (or via the Entertainment Book portal).

    • If the status is "delivered", the eGift card HAS been generated and emailed to you … and stopped by a spam filter somewhere, apparently because the link in the email is computer-generated.

    Not receiving eGift cards:

    • Make sure that [email protected] is on your email's safe sender list.

    • TPG customers are advised to use a non-TPG email address due to TPG's strict spam filtering. I tried to fix mine at TPG Post Office > Settings > Mail Filter Settings > Address Filtering but I'm still having trouble. (I am DETERMINED to find a solution though.)

    Contacting the Gift Card team:

    • is next to impossible! Woolies Customer Service and Woolies Online will not help you, it's nothing to do with them. The invoices from the Gift Card Team give the Head Office switchboard number 8885 0000 and email as [email protected].

    • However, once you are able to make contact with them, they are really really helpful.

    Using Big W cards:

    • The home page of everydaygiftcards.com.au shows that Store Gift Cards are accepted at all Woolies Group stores. Also, the Learn More link about e-cards says "Use in Woolworths Group Participating stores".

    This is such a good deal, I don't understand why it doesn't get more votes. Eg would you like to pay $100 for those groceries / clothes / electronics or $92.50…..stacked as required with other discounts or coupons in-store or online.
