Hey All,

This weekend there's 10% off (5% normal staff discount + 5% additional) for all Woolworths employees.

Just wanted to put it out there in case you guys don't bother reading your bulletin boards in store.

There's also 10% at Big W online and for the whole week there 10% off at Big W Vision.

Picked up VS Sassoon i-trim stubble trimmer for 75 bux. Was 88 in the catalogue, for some reason scanned at 83 (no complaints!) and then with the 10% came to $75

      • kanewestmk2 on 28/08/2010 - 18:51

        They're pretty slow to cancel the card, when I went from part-time to casual it took them a couple of months to cancel my second card.

    Waste of space on Oz bargain…

      I wouldn't say that it's a waste of space as some people here may have family or friends who can access the discount for them and the 10% off on some of the items, especially the ones already on special is a good discount.

      I agree that it's not one for the masses of people out there, but it is of help to some and that's something. :-)

      There's something like 200,000-300,000 Woolworths employees in Australia so I'm sure plenty of people would find this a deal.

  • creeps_bay on 28/08/2010 - 11:59

    Could u fellas help me get $100 wish gift card for that discounted amt…

    Any of ur help is appreciated….

      I don't think you would get the discount when buying gift cards

    • kanewestmk2 on 28/08/2010 - 18:52

      You can't buy gift cards with the discount card as of February I believe.

    Why must this be posted since not everyone can freely be a woolworths staff? On top of that, surely staff members would already be made aware of this offer via their own company newsletter..etc

    • StewBalls on 28/08/2010 - 13:27

      Well, I say this about every deal where you've gotta be a Farcebook lamer to sign up, yet they still keep coming! Suck it up dude! ;)

        I stop fighting the FB lamer deals on OZ.. i go direct to the source to report them for spamming ;)

          I appreciate the poster for posting this add, it is really helpful. If u leave nearby to poster, he wont mind helping you to get the stuff at the bargain price, nd you may be able to find someone else near by just posting your suburb name here, and wooly rep can help u.
          After all sharing is caring..

        There are about 200000 staff across Australia. Many of their family members who don't work at Woolworths also get a card.
        I think this is no different than saying that a deal only applies to Melbourne and the deal clearly says staff.

        • infernal_max on 29/08/2010 - 01:15

          1 person in the same household as the employee actually

    Thanks for the post tomo88. This is useful for those who don't work every week so might miss out on such notices.

    "Just wanted to put it out there in case you guys don’t bother reading your bulletin boards in store."

    For all the trolls out there. Exactly why I posted it, some people only get like 1 shift a fortnight and barely check these things

    • slowmo on 28/08/2010 - 13:41

      So does it mean that every man and his dog can post staff-only discounts of their company? eg. samsung, hp, ibm, lenovo, coles, myers? where do we stop then?

      if this post is valid, then we shouldn't discriminate when someone creates an ABN, and post ABC Pty Ltd's staff discount of 99% for their vibrators.

      this post should belong in the forums.

        Let me know once Samsung, hp, IBM and levono gets around 200k-300k workers. As one of the biggest employers in Australia, there's no reason why this deal shouldn't be posted… surely we all know someone that's an employee of Woolies/DSE/Dan Murphy/Big W/Tandys/BWS etc etc..

        • slowmo on 28/08/2010 - 20:58

          Not interested to argue a flawed logic.

          There should be no discrimination to the number of staff that a company has before you post a staff discount.

          Be it 1 staff or 1 million staff.

            @slowmo: I look forward to seeing you neg vote on every deal for students.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2010 - 13:56

    Can someone let me use their card number? I want to pick up a slim PS3 as mine YLOD just yesterday, 10% off of $468 would be around $421. It'd help out a bit.

    • Matador_OZ on 28/08/2010 - 15:26

      Good luck

    • kanewestmk2 on 28/08/2010 - 18:56

      You use the barcode on the back of the card, also, risk the sack for a random on the internet? I wouldn't have thought so!

      If I knew you, I'd take your bank card and buy it using my discount…

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2010 - 19:20

        fair enough, didn't realise you could get sacked for such a thing

  • infernal_max on 28/08/2010 - 15:35

    neg, staff discount is no "bargain" You might want to re-read the conditions of use on the back of the card

    there is also a reason why people dont get a shift more than once a fortnight, but i dont want this point misconstrued as a personal attack!

    By all means, post this in the forums…

    No, don't hold back dude…I'd really love to hear how you've managed to distill the individual situation of every employee that meets that one criteria down into a single derogatory category??? :p

    Staff discounts probably don't belong on OzBargain.

    All this post achieves is confirming how stingy Big W's staff discounts are.

  • Schumi5 on 28/08/2010 - 18:18

    good deal for staff i guess 10% better than nothing, to the people who voted negative.. ill remember to vote negative for EVERY sydney offer because i cant take advantage of it as i am in Melbourne, oh i might have to do the same to any offer in QLD, TAS,PERTH etc too, there is a deal a few pages back 10% discount at a particular coles store… yet i didnt see any of you post a negative because you cant get the deal. At the end of the day not every offer suits everyone.

    • ironworthy on 28/08/2010 - 18:46

      LOL, fail. have a look again and see how many people actually voted negative. That's right, both negatives came from one person

      • infernal_max on 28/08/2010 - 18:51
        +1

        The 2nd neg came from the unpublished comment actually

    • infernal_max on 28/08/2010 - 18:48

      I voted negative because it's not a bargain, but an entitlement of employment with woolworths. Also, woolworths take a dim view of inappropriate use of misuse of the staff discount policy. If one staff members card is used too much, the business can data mine the transctions and cease the employment of those that are in breach of the
      policy. I fail to see how my negative is unjustified.

    no bargain if not staff

  • AMLagonda on 28/08/2010 - 23:00

    I'm going to vote neg now, some people are being rude and spiteful, And I really don't see this as a "special" bargain for everybody here, just a select few that as stated should not be advertising staff discounts on a Bargain website.

    • AntMan76 on 28/08/2010 - 23:25

      Should I perhaps vote neg on all Fluidtek deals? I'm in Brisbane and can't get to the store for their deals.

        what do you not understand? Staff discount is a benefit of employment, not a bargain/deal

    Staff discount is not a bargain.

  • neil aus on 30/08/2010 - 09:22

    Agreed, staff discount is not a bargain, most companies give staff benefits.
