Hi guys. 5.5% is now the best in-market discount for these eGift cards. This offer ends June 14, unless withdrawn earlier. I'm proud to say I personally got this over the line after a couple of weeks of negotiating with one of the biggest stores in the country. Don’t forget, these are WISH cards that can be used for purchases in-store & on-line at Woolworths, Dan Murphy’s, Masters, BWS, Cellarmasters and most Caltex Woolworths petrol stations. And to top it off, you're also getting an 8% saving on BIG W eGift cards for use on everything in-store, including Apple products and all the upcoming June sales!

Note you need to be logged into Cashrewards and click through to store to see the discounted cards.

5.5% off Woolworths WISH eGift Cards expired June 14
8.0% off BIG W eGift Cards extended to June 30

Have a great day :)

    BIGW gift cards can also be used at Masters. I purchased the BigW giftcards (10%) off during Xmas promotion and used it mainly at Masters.

    Hey guys I thought I might add that not all woolies Caltex accept egift cards as a payment option, which is ridiculous, I've had staff at the Caltex and at woolies why this is the case and non seem to have any ideas.

    Is anyone able to shed any light on this matter?

    For example Erminington woolies Caltex doesn't accept egift cards, it even has stickers on the pumps to state this.

    Every time there is some sort of promotion at woolies or big w staff are oblivious to it. Always frustrating dealing with these staff

    • Siddh on 30/05/2016 - 16:29

      They did not accept because its franchise store … not own by woolworths caltex.

      From the confirmation email:

      Your order is being processed and will be distributed shortly.
      Please allow up to 24 hours for delivery of eGift Cards.
      The above time period is an estimate only, from receipt of your payment. Times may vary depending on payment confirmation from your financial institution.

      based on my own experience as an average I would say within 12 hours however I should add that their systems are fairly terrible too. ive waited up to 3 days and longest being a week and then some even never went through!

      good luck trying to contact them because finding an actual number is near impossible. you need to send off an equity via their contact us link.

      but now with the app, some good discounts a little stuff around I can put up with.

    • JIMB0 on 31/05/2016 - 11:21

      Smaller value cards get processed a lot quicker (few hours). I placed an order on Saturday night for a $400 eGift card which did not arrive by Sunday night (24hrs+). I tied placing an order for $5 which arrived within 2 hours. So I contacted them through their online form and got the $400 card cancelled. Must be some kind of manual checking on their end with large orders.

    • Tgb on 31/05/2016 - 12:11

      • scrypton on 30/05/2016 - 17:26
        +1

        I don't think any of them will work. How do you buy wish gift cards at Big W for 5.5% off? This promotion is only via Cash Rewards.

        Also, as far as I know, refunds are usually done through a voucher or a docket, not a gift card. And judging by the comments over the past few months, buying wish gift cards are now not available via self service, so the staff can refuse to accept the refund docket as a payment for wish gift cards (and that's assuming that the system allows you to).

  • Spending2Much on 30/05/2016 - 17:35

    Do they stack with woolies online C&C orders?
    Sometimes they offer $10 off $100 spend etc

    • kwchaz on 30/05/2016 - 18:14

      Probably, as they're separate promotions - as far as Woolies Online are aware, you're using a regular gift card to pay for your order, and they wouldn't know it was purchased on special.

    • mmd on 31/05/2016 - 02:22

      Yes, you need to select gift card when u pay for the goods. The promotion code column is separate to this.

    • JIMB0 on 31/05/2016 - 11:25

      Yes. Gift cards are accepted for payment online, they give you a longer number in the PDF file for this (starting with 6280, similar to physical cards).

  • brainactive on 30/05/2016 - 20:47
    +17

    Pretty nice deal but think twice before stocking up on these. Some quick math:

    Original ongoing deal 5% off WISH gift card. Now 5.5% off so 0.5% difference.

    Assuming 3% pa interest on bank accounts, this 0.5% difference is worth around 2 months of interest so stocking up is only worthwhile to the extent that the purchased gift cards last less than 2 months. Otherwise better off just leaving money in bank and re-purchase later when needed.

    • illumination on 30/05/2016 - 21:24
      +9

      Good point.

      However, I'd like to add that 3% pa interest for anyone who earns above the tax-free threshold of $18200 is not actually 3% pa.

      For example, if you're in the lowest income bracket, 3% pa interest is actually 2.43% (tax rate of 19%)
      If you're in the second lowest income bracket ($37001 and above), 3% is actually 2.025% (tax rate of 32.5%)
      and so on..

      Don't forget interest you earn is not tax-free! You still have to pay tax for it.

    Not sure if I am missing anything. $5.5% discount means saving of $27.50 when you spend $500. While it's a saving afterall, is it such a great deal so as to deserve 300+ upvotes? Looks like I am missing something for sure.

    • realfancyman on 30/05/2016 - 21:41
      +1

      Nope your not missing anything. $150 shop a week, $7200 a year = $360 off with regular 5% off gift card, $396 with 5.5% off gift card. That's an extra $36 saving. Doesn't seem like a lot but everything counts on OzB :)

      The one on Ozbargain instantly looks like a better deal even though it's the same.

          But just a tip…

          Buy Telstra Prepaid starter packs instead (when discounted). I think Woolies is selling the $30 one for $15 now. You can use that $30 as google play credit.

          Con it's a bit more hassle. The Google Play card you can just "top up" your account with it.

          Telstra Prepaid starter pack credit is more fiddly to use.

    5% off eGift cards are my favourite way of saving money with almost no effort. However, so few people know about them. I regularly go through Woolworths self checkouts, buying up weekly specials, and have never seen anyone else using them. Only once have I see someone buy fuel with an eGift card.

    It's probably a good thing for us savvy ozbargainers that more people don't know eGift cards. It's a nice feeling when I buy fuel below the terminal gate price, and then chop another 5% off that. Other fuel buyers are subsidising my purchase.

    • JIMB0 on 31/05/2016 - 11:34
      +6

      I believe it is called price discrimination. Most people I know couldn't be bothered keeping track of giftcards to save $5 per $100. They would probably end up leaving money to expire on the cards which is on of the reasons why the retailers do gift cards.

    • virhlpool on 31/05/2016 - 20:34
      +4

      It's not that not many people know about it, just that many people don't like:

      1. having many cards to keep track of (in memory and wallets)
      2. getting into the nitty-gritty of buying and maintaining cards for li'l saving (I personally value ANY saving though)
      3. using eCard which isn't as easy for everyone as the physical card
      4. remembering when it's going to be the last transaction with card balance near zero. Real issue comes up when you do the last transaction with some small amount remaining on the card. Like you have $8 on your card and your bill is $21. So, you need to use another card (debit/credit) in addition to this card to complete that transaction. It's a pain for some.

      All in all, while these cards save you $27.5 for every $500 spent, using these cards demand some level of discipline and also time and effort. If the saving was higher, say 10% or more, I bet more people would use them and you will then feel that more people knew about them. :). It's a game of the perceived value. Life is all about it, mate!

          @snuke: Do you literally just say, "I've got a egiftcard here and I would like to convert it to a physical WISH card"?

          Also out of curiosity, why do you prefer a physical card? I'd imagine some would prefer not having to carry around an extra card + the risk of physically losing it. You could argue there's a slight risk your "digits" could be stolen, but I'd imagine that risk is much lower than the risk of physically losing it and worth it for the convenience of not having to carry around an extra card too.

          First few times were all at the service counter, and I said I wanted to swap it to a physical card for ease of use. I personally prefer to use the app, but prior to the apps current useful state of storing the full details to enter etc… it was pretty useless and I would use a Notes app to keep tab. The other half prefers a physical card, as she finds it easier to use.

          There is bold red text on the CR link saying just this. Because of past exploits in using Big W egift to buy Wishgift cards, they clamped down on buying all gift cards with it. Hence the morons buying items, just so they can return them the next day so they get given a physical gift card as the refund.

      That is very weird.

      I doubt the extra 0.5% would lead to the site being overwhelmed.

      I'm passing on the offer until they fix it, maybe the site has been compromised.

    Can I use the BIG W eGift Cards to buy a PS4?
