    usable at woolworths?

    • mobo on 01/12/2015 - 21:56

      doesn't look like it

      BIG W Store eGift Cards can only be redeemed at all BIG W stores or online at
      www.bigw.com.au (excludes online photo processing) and excluding at standalone photo
      kiosks, DVD vending machines and mobile EFTPOS terminals.

          that's true. I tried to buy something a few months back and the online store didnt accept wish cards. Thought it was a bug or something

          They must be upgrading the gift card system and phasing out the old system.

          Or they might be making these specifically for the groupon deal to generate revenue for the Big W section

          technically you cant buy a gift card with a gift card

          some attendants will refuse to sell you gift cards so be careful. Its happened to me before and was forced to sell the gift cards at a $10 loss on gumtree because i had no use for them

          @easternculture:
          If I recall correctly Coles Group gift cards do have in their T&C's that you can't buy a gift card with a gift card.
          These cards T&C's state "Your Store eGift Card can be redeemed for goods and services from Store eGift Card Participating Stores" it does not specifically exclude gift cards, it does however exclude prepaid Visa and MasterCard Gift cards.

          @easternculture: I have purchased the wish e-gift cards through the entertainment book at 5% off and have been using those e-gift cards to purchase physical gift cards at Big W & Woolies…. I have also used these e-gift cards to top up my opal at selected Woolies. I haven't had any issues.

          However I am yet to use my e-gift cards to purchase a physical Big W or Woolies card… Not sure if it would work on its own brand of cards.

          Converted mine to wish cards yesterday (regular checkout, not self serve).

          Had 3 different staff members involved in the transaction told them all we were paying with eGift cards and none of them had a problem with it. The guy manning the checkout (must be Christmas staff) didn't even know how to process the gift cards, he got someone to help him. Then the register was asking for an ABN because the transaction was over $1000 (not required because I am not an AB), but the girl who came to help queried it with someone else who came over and helped the first guy with the eGift card payment.

          Even with all that, still only took us a few minutes.

        • samehada on 09/01/2016 - 14:33

          It is hit and miss with the store and staff, not really worth the risk, as soon as the check out staff hear the word gift card, it will raise concern and they won't allow you to pay with gift card.

      Saw your earlier comment before you edited it, the updated terms as of October 2015 mention that Big W eGift cards only work at Big W, Woolworths Caltex at only Woolworths Caltex etc (section 6).

        Yeah. Was going through my saved eGift cards from May 2015 and they did not have the restriction back then but looking at the Terms and conditions it looked like it was store specific.

        I just logged onto the everyday site and end a question to them asking if we can use the Big W eGift card to purchase a Woolworth or iTunes one as an example. I'll let you guys know it you can.

        According to the terms there is no restriction about it so I guess you should be able to.

          What a dumb question to ask.

          It is already written everywhere, even on the gift cards not to purchase a gift card with a gift card all your question does is draw more attention to the fact, meaning they will keep tightening up procedures as per this thread that we can see they are already attempting to do.

          Just got this back from the Everyday rewards people:

          Hi Daniel,

          Your Big W Gift Card can be used across all Woolworth’s divisions. This includes Woolworths and Safeway Supermarkets, Big W, BWS, Dan Murphy's, Masters Home Improvement, participating Woolworths Caltex co-branded outlets, Thomas Dux, and also through our online shopping websites.

          A full list of participating stores can be found on our website www.everydaygiftcards.com.au under the ‘Learn More” tab on the right hand side of the home page.

          Although we have specific branded gift cards, all of our Gift cards can be used at any of our brands within the Woolworths Limited Group.

          Hope this answers your question.
          Kind regards,
          Gift Card Team

          I'm going to re-query them about their wording as I specifically said e-Giftcard but I'll also mention that it will be purchased from the Groupon deal.

          FYI, this was my original query so they obviously didn't read the question properly:

          Can I use the a Big W e-Giftcard to purchase other gift cards like the standard wish gift cards or iTunes ones at a Big W store? Also are Big W e-gift cards locked to be used only at Big W or can I use at all participating everyday rewards stores?

        • danielh on 03/12/2015 - 12:23

          @danielh: DAMMIT. I should have bought some. Just got this response:

          Hi Daniel,

          Thank you for your email.
          I can confirm that although we have specific branded gift cards, all of our Gift cards can be used at any of our brands within the Woolworths Limited Group.

          This applies to e-gift cards as well as physical gift cards

          This was in response to my message asking:

          Thanks but I just bought 5 x $500 eGiftcards from the link I sent before and the fine print on the coupon says “The BIG W Store eGift Card is redeemable at BIG W Stores and BIG W online only”. I assume I just ignore that and go and shop at Woolworth etc. Is that correct?

          To be honest, I just want to go in and buy a bunch of $500 Normal WISH gift cards at Big W and I think I should be able to do that as I don't see that as a restriction on the eCard.

      Still works for me. Then they did this last time I was sent an excel file with everyone's names, gift card number, email and pin. Basically we were all sent this and the total was about $1.3m I think. Some people managed to do click and collect for some large items with the vouchers before it was cancelled.

      So far it looks like less than 100 cards sold so they are not even close to the May 2015 deal.

      Sorry, I'm new to OzBargin but was hoping to use this deal to buy a JB Hi Fi gift card. What do you mean by stacking? What is this 5% off?

        With the last BigW card I had, I walked into a BigW and bought a JB Hifi gift card of the same value (so a $200 JB card for $185 in a sense). You then use that card to buy things % off at JB, for example DVDs are current;y 20% off. There is also another 5% off today if you have the email. So in a sense you get 20% off dvd, plus another 5% and then use the gift card which is 7.5% off.

    Convert to Woolworth gift cards from BIG W stores - all good.

      Don't they normally not let you buy gift cards with gift cards

      Did this yesterday. Got QFF points on the Big W eGift card -> Wish conversion. Got them again on the Woolworths shopping purchase and will continue to do so until 31/12 when QFF points stops.
