Can't use 5~10% gift cards, where are the benefits? I use my current visa/MasterCard to buy those gift cards to earn points and getting Minimum 5% off Woolworths shopping, petrol and occasional BigW shopping.
Come on OZbargainers, otherwise hand in your badges?
Visa/Mastercard to buy those gift cards? Not an AMEX? Hand in your OzBargainer badge.
Don't worry, I just reported him to the mods. He's probably a friend of Gerry Harvey.
Woolworths
Woolworths are the tight arse people.
Not really. I worked for them for a good while. They pay Australians very fairly
Is it minimum wage?
What exactly do you consider minimum wage? Award wage? I'm sure you know that there's no end to the dodgy aussie franchise chains or small business that pay like 7 eleven
@fuzor: Woolworths has its own enterprise agreement and pays less favourably than the award for retail employees particularly in respect of penalty rates for late nights and weekends. https://www.smh.com.au/national/secret-woolworths-deal-with-…
Their DC staff are paid very well, at least in South Australia. 9 day fortnights for FT staff as well.
While that may be true, W and C are screwing aussie farmers, with their demands for significantly cheaper milk and other products.
Took the words right out of my mouth
RIP coles mastercard
still you don't earn double points on woolworths card, as you earn on Coles mastercard for using credit card…..
Yep
the coles mastercard's shoppers protection is worth keeping imo. 24 month refund on price drops and 6 month refund on damage/stolen items.
Yep but that is no longer offered, neither is free international transactions. Hence RIP
This is still valid on the Coles rewards platinum card
oh wow thanks for pointing that out. i didn't know they canned that. looks like if you applied for it before 25/2/18 you're still okay. I wonder if this will carry on indefinitely.
@smarter_fool: it looks like the new platinum insurance has been watered down — up to 90 days for damage/stolen items. no price drop protection.
https://financialservices.coles.com.au/credit-cards/rewards-…
No international transaction fee on purchases when you shop online or overseas.
@iSamurai: That's correct, however the shoppers protection still applies to those who have it, even with the new insurance stuff.
Yup for those who got the card already with the insurance, it’s a gem.
Yup… I have claimed over $600 in just a little over one year. It feels great being able to purchase the latest mobile phone in the market and be chillaxed knowing that you can claim the price drop when the phone is nearing the end of it's shelf life
@0FoxGiven: I got few of my friends and colleagues onto it. They didn't believe me initially :P it was too good to be true and no wonder they stopped offering this any further.
My biggest worry remain, can Coles stop/change the terms of the price protection insurance they have sold already to existing customers at some point? Are they allowed to do this?
@thriver: No idea, but the price protection for old cards still works even after they updated to the next T&C.
Coles is also no annual fee for life
Is there a minimum spend to trigger the points ?
No…

does it affect credit score if you apply and cancel after 6 months?
Every credit card you apply for has a effect on your score
*an
Sorry, very novice question from me - how negatively impacting is it to open a card (like this) for a year, maintain steady on-time payments and cancel right before the annual fees?
All new enquiries have variable impact on your score. Just be aware of it. Some providers might consider it grounds to refuse a new application.
Not that bad. I haven't been rejected for any of the credit cards I have applied for. I get a new one over 6 to 9 months. I'm sure there are others that are more frequent than myself.
A credit enquiry on your account stays there for 5 years. So if you chop and change cards alot you'll build up a lot of enquiries on your file.
However, from 1st July I believe, positive reporting will be included on your file too such as on time payments of credit cards, loans etc.
YMMV.
They've already started positive reporting at NAB however the rest of the banks should be rolling it out before July 1st.
I've just been watching my credit score go up lately because of this, just quite slowly.
You should try the other ones as well.
Getcreditscore - This gives your Equifax score.
Credit Simple - This gives your Illion (previously Dun and Bradstreet) score.
You should look at all the three.
Equifax typically has the most data. My report from Equifax shows one additional enquiry that the other two bureaus don't. Equifax is used by most credit providers when deciding credit applications.
My credit score according to Experian is significantly higher than the other two. Experian says I am in the top 20% of the population, but the other two say I am in the bottom 30% of population :(
What are the exclusions for the 10% first shop each month? Can't see them giving 10% off gift cards.

What are the chances the woolies will actually exclude gift cards from 10% off?
A few years ago they had flyers for 10% off which worked on gift cards, they fixed that one. Also the email deals for bonus points/woolworths dollars etc used to work with gift cards but no longer do.
Not for Tasmania.
That's because Tasmania is a failed state.
Their beer is pretty good though.
Give me more of your GST stolen monies, please. Someone has to continue to prop up this banana republic.
Savage.
Earning Woolies FSC points on booze doesn't sound like a failed state to me :)
Yer you have a different woolies rewards card for some messed up reason.
At least you have 6am-11pm 7day opening hours unlike Qld.
Any chance of getting the fee waived again in subsequent years?
I just called to cancel after a year with the card, and the best they could offer was 1/2 price annual fee for the second year. I accepted that.
Wonder how it will go for other years lol.
I got them to waive the fee for 4 years in a row until they moved to Macquarie, they offered half price, but that was when the fee was way more, so I left'em.
Application failed. Oh well, will stick with the Woolies gift cards.
What happened lol?
Failed as in timed out/browser error?
Or you actually mean "declined"?
Sorry declined. No idea. Too many cards already? Already have a card through Macquarie?
Already have a card through Macquarie
That's probably it, Macquarie tends to be very stingy…
Pretty good deal. Just closed my woolies and Coles cards to take up the ANZ black FF card.
Should have kept the Coles with the minimum limit… they wont be offering some of the old features again.
could be a way to get a few more extra Qantas Frequent Flyer points, 8700 I think from memory with woolies conversion rate. Although no where near as good as other credit card offerings from ANZ etc
8700 isn't as good as $100 though so whats the point exactly…
Well I guess it would be 1.14c per point so it would depend on your situation, when redeeming the qantas FF points they could be worth more depending on how you use them
Well I am another DISSATISFIED Tasmanian…………….
Talk about Discrimination.
Now I must look further at Coles.It's because of the Roelf Vos & Purity legacy haha.
Can the rewards points also be converted to Qantas frequent flyer points?
no
Application also failed for me… Good excuse to keep using the Amex until I reach $3000 spend…
Have had this card for about a year. Had all these feature and also came with 0% BT, which was what I got it for.
Except I got $100 Woolies voucher with any purchase. Think I bought a can of coke as my purchase to activate this.
Doesn't say you are eligible if you had the same card in the last xx years. I have closed mine last year. Can i apply again and get the points? Not clear
what a crackpot
Who is the card issuer? Citi told me I can only keep one card issued by them.
Macquarie Bank through Card Services.
Very tight when it comes to their credit cards. Good luck!if its issued by Macquarie Bank I avoid them now. they are the only bank that just keep declining me. I guess ive got too many enquires on my file and they don't like that.
Have you ever held a credit card with Macquarie?
too many credit cards
Hey OP, quick question. Do they offer business accounts?
Please excuse me, i know you dont work for Woolies or anything.
Thanks in advancehaha. Part of the application.
I consent to be charged a fee if the balance of my account exceeds my credit limit.
You can be charged a fee for exceeding your credit limit only if you have provided us with your express consent.Really!! who would?
unsuccessful application :(
I have applied for Woolworths credit card about 4 times and each time they've rejected my application. No idea why because I have a good credit score and I get instant approval from all other credit providers literally.
Because it’s Macquarie, very tight, I hate to apply any credit cards issued by this bank, just a waste of a credit enquiry on my credit file.
Yeah. In hindsight I feel so pissed off now that they've hampered my credit rating with no outcome.
That’s why I don’t bother with this deal although some members successfully applied.
too many cards probably. You're not worth their business
Can you use more than $10 in one shop? Eg can I use all $100 in one shop or do I need to do 10 shops over $10?
It’s unclear.
Ten times.
Yes. So just break it into lots of little shops instead of one big $100 shop. Get to say $12, say "I want to break it into a separate shop there and pay for what's been scanned so far". Or even easier just use a self-serve, and do the same thing yourself - there's no explaining necessary with this, and nobody standing right behind you getting annoyed that you're being slow. I do exactly this when I want to run down the balance of my rewards points, and I pay any extra over $10 with an eGift card, so it all takes longer than one big paywave transaction.
Nope. You can use your points in one go. For example if you spend $105, you can redeem 20000 points ($100) and pay the remaining balance with other methods. And you can do this in-store and online.
I have found if shopping online you can use all your points in one go. I cashed in $40 last week in one transaction.
Do we also get the $50 gift card on top and the 14 months 0% balance transfer?

Thanks TA. Great offer, if just for the free $100! First year annual fee free too, so a true free $100 :)
