    Like seasons of the year, 15% off, 7.5% off, 15% off, 7.5%…..

    • Usemame on 18/04/2015 - 09:03

      so its better to wait till 15% off ?

        No, when they have 15% off, they don't have the Big W/Woolies deal
        What you can do is buy Groupon's gift card when they have the 15% off, and use those to buy this.

        • spacecowboy on 18/04/2015 - 10:00

          During the last few 15% discount promos Groupon gift cards were also marked 'sold out'. I think they have woken up to this one…

      • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2015 - 12:28

        They do 15% off Groupon cards which you can use to buy 7.5% off WOW

        • 99altezza on 18/04/2015 - 20:27

          How do you use the groupon coupons to purchase this?

        • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2015 - 21:24

          @99altezza: first you buy a Groupon gift card, hopefully when the 15% off sale is on. Then after it is delivered you use the card(s) to buy Woolworths cards. The Groupon card has a code on it that you use.

        • 99altezza on 18/04/2015 - 22:09

          @clarky: I purchased the Groupon gift card already, but when I apply the code it doesn't work. I only purchased the Groupon gift card a few days ago when they had the 15% discount. They have given me the coupons already but when I apply the code to purchase these gift cards, it doesn't work, any idea why?

          Do I have to wait longer?

        • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2015 - 22:42

          @99altezza: there is a single line of code on the bottom of the physical card you need to use, not any codes that they say in the receipt email. Ie You can't use the Groupon and or security code that is in email, sometimes bottom left, under the address

        • 99altezza on 18/04/2015 - 23:23

          @clarky: what about the code thats on the actualy groupon gift card when I go to "My Groupon" I can see the the gift card and the the voucher code. I can download the pdf too, but none of the codes on the pdf wok. eg Security Code & Voucher Code.

          Is this what you use, or do they actually send the voucher to me later on?

          @spacecowboy:

          I bought mine in March, I emailed to them about its delivery status and got reply apologizing for the delay a week ago. I log in again and it says coupon USED!!!! I have never receive anything and now they mark it as coupon used. I would stay away from these groupon gift cards.

        • cateyneow on 18/04/2015 - 18:33

          @skylinebmwm5:

          I know it happened to me too

          I called and they were like it's used and I started an email thread and the guy said it's valid. We copied and pasted the code from what he typed and it worked but when I input my code in, it says the card had been used.

          Delivery was ridiculous. Took under 3 weeks.

          The expiry was not clear either - 30/4 on the site but 6m from purchase date on the card. Groupon said its still 30/4 which is absurd.

          Hope you resolved your issue

    • bargain64 on 18/04/2015 - 14:13

      It varies. My first order in Jan, only a few days. Then this BigW 7.5% came back in March. After ordering 9 (they counted my first one in Jan). My account was locked and only last few days, I received the BigW egiftcards. Not a smooth process. Wrote to get my account unlocked, then after 4 business days, another email about not receiving the giftcards. At least they responded to my email within reasonable time. Due to the delay, I missed out using them to buy Myers or JB Hi Fi gift card when they had some APPLE products on specials.

  • langitbiru on 18/04/2015 - 09:24

    Guys, sorry, this must be a very stupid question… how do i use big W egiftcards i bought from group on in woolworths/dan's murphy /caltex?

    do i just go to big w, use my egift card to purchase wish gift card? and i can use the new wish gift cards to do any transaction on those participating retailers?

    Please kindly advise, and do apologise if this is a stupid question.

    • civijoe on 18/04/2015 - 09:28

      You can just use the Big W egift card at any of the stores without any sort of conversion

      • delfredo on 18/04/2015 - 09:37
        +2

        Not really any of these stores. Make sure you check if it's Woolworths Caltex or Caltex Woolworths and check if the one you are going to can accept egift cards (being different to the normal plastic gift cards).

        • madrooster on 18/04/2015 - 09:46
          +3

          Easy way to tell at the Caltex if they accept it or not without asking…

          They have the exact same Verifone eftpos terminal (black, colour LCD) as the ones in Woolworths. If they have this terminal, then it'll work. If not, then no…

      • langitbiru on 18/04/2015 - 09:41

        But, assuming if i only want to use $20 out of my $100 eguft card, when they scan my egift card, for sure the balance will remain in my egiftcard?

        Any idea if i can use this egift card and purchase wish gift card ? just for a peace of mind… Thank you

        • sween64 on 18/04/2015 - 09:51
          +2

          The balance remains and you can use whatever amount of it you like. I use these for petrol all the time. Sometimes I have to split the payment over two eGift cards.

        • yargnairod on 18/04/2015 - 12:29

          On a woolworths terminal just go to egift cards. Then type in the card number and pin. You do not need to scan anything (hint: just put the numbers on your phone). It makes it really convenient but also treat those numbers like cash and use it up quickly as anyone with those numbers can use it

    • starionx on 18/04/2015 - 09:55

      "Any idea if i can use this egift card and purchase wish gift card ? just for a peace of mind… Thank you"

      Yes. That's what I've been doing and have never had a problem. You may find that a certain cashier may say you can't do this. Stand your ground and say that you always do it. They will eventually cave in… or, go to another cashier. Worst case scenario is you go to another store.

    • bargain64 on 18/04/2015 - 14:16

      The card can simply be used at woolworths etc. These are printed on the egiftcard PDF file. for caltex, only woolworths co-branded caltex.
      moreover, you can buy giftcard of other retails from Big W. I bought Rebel Sports before. This is still ok with woolworths/BigW. You can't with others like Coles, K-Mart… Those explicitly printed on the card that not valid for buying giftcards.

  • unity1 on 18/04/2015 - 09:44

      Entertainment Book purchase redirects you to the everydaygiftcard website. Groupon doesn't, that's why it's different.

    For those concerned about receiving international transaction fees from using a credit card, don't be. If you do you can get a refund on the fee.
    See here - http://grouponaustralia.zendesk.com/entries/21872740-I-bough…

    "Our payments are processed via an overseas gateway and from time to time, your financial institution or payment provider may charge you an additional fee for transacting with us because of this. If this happens to you, please contact our Customer Care team with a screenshot of the fees that you were charged, and they will attend to the problem."

    There is also no issue in using an eGift card to purchase a physical Wish Gift card.I did this last night. If you buy $100 eGift card, simply ask at counter to purchase $100 Wish Gift card, and when it comes to payment say you will be using an eGift card. Put your eGift card details into EFTPOS machine and you're good to go. My store was unaware if it could be done, so said lets just try it, and it went all smoothly.

          that was 8 months ago and they still haven't implemented any changes. they don't appear to be serious about it. they couldn't give a stuff about their customers.

          i rarely buy much off them as it is too much of a hassle trying to chase up a refund for fees each time.

        • snuke on 18/04/2015 - 11:25

          As of last week Groupon purchases are still labeled as being processed in Zurich.

        • Cluster on 18/04/2015 - 17:42

          @mattgal:
          I bet payments are processed through Zurich not because it's more convenient or easier for Australian customers, but because Groupon can pay low corporate tax rates there. Also they hope most consumers won't notice the up to 3% surcharge on their 'foreign' purchase in Australian dollars.

      The refund came back to me as a credit at Groupon which will be used when I buy the next eGift card.

      • alvian on 18/04/2015 - 12:16

        I chose refund to my bank account. Groupon quoted "up to" 10 business days to receive the refund. It ended up taking 15 business days. With the intervening Easter holiday, it took nearly a month to get my money back. Always use Paypal if you have the option.

          The Amex is on my Paypal as the default card, but for Aus sellers it won't use the Amex, and goes to my MC. However, we are talking about all this due to the OS transaction, so Amex should get used. Will see what comes up.

          I have an NAB credit card that attracts a foreign exchange fee for PayPal services that were priced in USD$ and then converted by PayPal to AUD$. Essentially, I pay foreign exchange fees twice. I've given up on using that card and instead use my BankWest Platinum. No foreign exchange fees, ever.

    • argonbay on 18/04/2015 - 11:35

      It sounds like there is some issue for it to take that long. Can you still log in to Groupon?

      I had my account frozen and that held up processing of transactions. Happened when I used a different credit card than I had in the past and their system suspected that it may be a fraudulent transaction.

      Call or email help desk with the transaction ID and ask them what has happened?

    • yargnairod on 18/04/2015 - 12:26

    I cannot purchase. Every time I go to submit order, it says processing, then says wrong card format and wants my credit card number again. Tried Amex twice and Visa once, same result. The numbers are exactly as laid out on my cards and in the correct boxes on screen. Never had this happen with an online purchase before. Don't want to keep resubmitting the order as I'm certain all details are correct, must be some sort of glitch. Oh well, good deal, maybe next time.

    Still haven't received the other one. It's been ages. I'd rather just get 5% than wait months and months.

    Recently got my 10 x $200 eGift cards from the last deal (took nearly 3 wks). Unsure if I'll get the remaining 10 x $100.
    Recently got my Cash rewards from my January Groupon / eGift cards - makes the deal even sweeter.

    Just saw this deal, ALL sold out?

  • Bob Wang on 19/04/2015 - 15:00

    There are 7504 sales in total, based on the assumption of $200 each order, total value of sales are 7504x200= $1500800

    We OZBargainers tend to buy groceries/other goods and services when they are in half price, plus cash back from other promotions, I was wondering how much profit WW can make.

    Any WW share holders have any concern at all?

    Cheers,

    Bob

      Not all will be spent on groceries. Some will be spent on liquor or petrol. Bigger margins on these than groceries.

      Also any money spent at WW is not being spent at Coles, Aldi etc so their loss will be more perhaps in lost sales?

      And some vouchers will never be redeemed, meaning they gain whole amount paid on these ones.

      It'd be safe to presume most who have super would've shares in WW, so they're actually supporting them with these purchases. Now they're locked in to WW having bought them! Now WW can rock n roll with that ready cash haul:-) Makes me wanna grab a few WW shares myself (although I'm wary of the Infinity cable fiasco) ! Have a nice day fellow oz-bargainers.

      if it is anything like loyalty points, then i'm guessing woolworths factor in discounted gift cards in to their margins.

    How come this one sold out so much quicker than the last one? I was just getting warmed up.

  • leon99 on 20/04/2015 - 15:10

    $100 cards back in stock, I've just bought some.

    NAB just charged me 3% on my Groupon purchase. Time to email Groupon and claim it back. Australian purchase, in Australian dollars, yet I get charged a foreign transaction fee because Groupon charges the credit card from Switzerland. Watch out for this trap.
