This is a long running deal but there are many new members who don't know about this. So here I am sharing the love. The last post that I found was in 2015

Get 5% off any purchase at the following stores:

  • Woolworths Supermarkets
  • BIG W
  • Dan Murphy's
  • Cellarmasters
  • BWS
  • Caltex Woolworths Petrol

The gift cards can also be used to purchase ebay gift cards from Woolworths. That gives you an extra 5% off on any ebay purchase. UPDATE This may no longer be possible and Woolworth's self-checkout systems may prevent you from purchasing a Gift card when paying with WISH & Woolworth's gift cards

If you have the Woolworths Money app on your phone, you can simply add the egift cards to your app easily.

    Last post was actually this, just made it on the 6 months rule.

    Please see this Wiki Page for other sources where you can also get 5% off.

    Isnt it 247 5 percents off?

      Yea? This post doesn't suggest otherwise does it?

      yes

  • MDSUXKS on 10/07/2018 - 17:11

      Pretty much.

      • You may get "flagged" if you order crazy amounts, which may just mean you get a phone call to confirm that it was you making the order
      • You need to wait "up to 48 hours" for digital delivery of the eGift Card (via email), although it typically arrives in around 2-6 hours
      • MDSUXKS on 10/07/2018 - 17:22

        Ah ok thanks for that.

        Depends on your bank. You might not even get a curtesy call and just flag your whole card and leave you in an awkward spot when you find out your card no longer works

          @illumination: Wow, that's extreme. I've used ~5 different credit cards and haven't had a problem yet. Amex, ANZ, NAB, Virgin/Citibank at least.

          +3

          This happened with ANZ. Card was automatically blocked and had to call them to request them to let me buy.
          On the other hand, NAB gave me a call a few mins after I bought a gift card to verify that it was legit.

        • SlappersOnly on 10/07/2018 - 18:33

          @ely: I’ve had my card blocked after my first ever purchase of only $100. Had to talk to fraud department and enabled purchase of Woolworths gift cards but still have everything else set as potential theft

        • twig on 10/07/2018 - 21:40

          I actually had an issue with woollies automated detection flagging.

          the reason being the email I used for my credit card was different to the email I used for my cash rewards.

          fortunately the guy at woollies dept was able to sort that out and whitelist for me, but process took a few days to sort out

        • ely on 11/07/2018 - 05:01

          @cruizerdog: good to know; first time I bought one woolies called me to verify and it took about a day to come through, afterwards fine, and I've now bought 10s of 1000s worth (family shopping all on GCs for a couple of years). Hope my luck continues!

      You can buy as many as you want at any time, Woolworths don’t discourage you buying at all.
      Cards usually come in 5-6 hours these days. Sometimes when you order, it will be in payment pending, which seems to need a person to manually approve it and this can take 1-2 days.

  • cwongtech on 10/07/2018 - 17:23

          @illumination: Best card for this purpose! Do they have the PE in SIN too?

        • illumination on 11/07/2018 - 13:26

          @MathNerd: There's a sorta similar one in name but the product itself is very different.

          Credit Card market here is quite different. AMEX is less accepted here than Australia I feel! But similarly, disparity between points earn on AMEXs and Visas/MCs is also smaller.

    • Savas on 10/07/2018 - 18:36

      is there an equivalent for Coles egift cards?

      • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 22:31
        +1

        Coles doesn't want its customers to have a good experience when using discounted payment methods. I've switched to Woolies exclusively (apart from the odd unmissable deal that gets posted here to OzB).
        The ability to get a 5% discount and get triple points on that (Woolworths eGift cards) is something that makes life worth living.

      One of the best apps made ever, hands down. I've refreshed the app as a transaction is processing at Woolies, and the balance refreshes before the "Approved" message is even shown on the POS. Brilliant database management by Woolies.

    Decent savings over long term if you can combine with your fuel purchases. Get 5% off groceries and 4c fuel savings on rewards card. Purchase fuel, with gift card and use rewards card for 4c off and 5% off.

    Buy with platinum edge or DJs Amex for effective 3% further off.

    • Lancerx on 10/07/2018 - 17:54

      How did you work out 3%? From 3 points per dollar spend?

      • illumination on 10/07/2018 - 18:14
        +3

        Probably by a standard valuation of "1 point = 1c", therefore at a rate of 3pts/$ on "supermarket spend" using the Platinum Edge, it's an effective "3% return" on each dollar spent on eGCs purchased through this way.

      • Lukian on 11/07/2018 - 20:43

        If you buy Virgin flights it's like 7%

    • harthagan on 28/11/2018 - 11:09

      Not sure what all the hype is about this? Couldn't u have just used your amex card to purchase your groceries/liquor/gas in the first place which would get u the same "3% off". So surely the savings from the gift card is 5% and not 8%.

      • Neoika on 12/12/2018 - 19:50

        Triple points earned from GC purchase on edge card.

  • luke1 on 10/07/2018 - 18:06

    Ive heard about a woolworths money app - can we transfer these gift cards there? Also if it is possible to transfer - can the woolworths money app be used to pay for caltex wooloworths fuel?

    • rictee on 10/07/2018 - 18:16
      +3

      Open the link in the E-gift card email on your phone and it will automatically load in the Money app.

    • illumination on 10/07/2018 - 18:17
      +1

      can we transfer these gift cards there?

      Nope, but you can just forward someone the email that the eGift Card comes in and that's effectively you "transferring" the gift card.

      can the woolworths money app be used to pay for caltex wooloworths fuel?

      The app itself can't be used to pay for fuel (unlike BPme, if you're thinking of that), but the app stores the eGift Cards which contains all the digits you need to make the payment at participating Caltex Woolworths locations.

      Note that there are some Caltex Woolworths that accept WISH Gift Cards but not WISH eGift Cards that you'd be buying through this deal.

      edit: Sorry, seems I may have misunderstood your question. Let me cover my bases..

      Yes, the eGift Card can be stored in the Woolworths Money app.
      No, the eGift Card cannot be transferred via the Woolworths Money app, but can effectively be transferred by simply forwarding the email to someone else.

      • jace88 on 10/07/2018 - 19:33
        +1

        I didn’t realise this until recently - eg the Woolworths Petrol at Rozelle NSW (on Victoria Rd; the one between Birkenhead Point and Anzac Bridge) does not accept Wish cards or e-gift cards.

    • bamzero on 10/07/2018 - 19:16
      +1

      The egift card they email you is a number and PIN. You must manually enter these at the payment terminal, whether it's at Woolies, BWS, Caltex Woolies etc.

      The Money app will show you the balance as well, but apart from that is nothing more than a way to display these details.
      You can add them to the app manually or opening the link in the email via the app will add them automatically.

  • strugglestreet on 10/07/2018 - 18:43

    I've got $1 left on my first egift card. Do I literally have to do a $1 purchase to get that last bit of value or is there some less clunky way to use it? I don't want to end up leaving even a few cents on it.

          At "Assisted checkout"
          - Press "pay"
          - Under the main payment method, press "other payment method"
          - Press "e-gift card, split payment"
          - Enter how much you have left on your e-gift card
          - make payment with e-gift card
          - The outstanding amount is now reduced
          - Complete payment with another e-gift card

          When going through a check out person, just tell them you are using e-gift card and the amount. They will input the amount for you.

    Another thing is you can use them to buy gift cards for other stores at Big W (used to at Woolworths but they stopped it recently). I buy my Sony PSN, Steam and JB Hifi cards like this to save the 5%.

      The WISH card is usable at all of the aformentioned companies in the OP, it's a one-for-all card. Paying partially at different companies is definitely fine.

        So why do they have so many individual cards when you go to purchase and specifically say woolworths, dans, big w..

          I'm not 100% sure, but the one you're looking for is the "WISH eGift Card", there's about 4 different colours to choose from.

          Just to be safe, get the WISH card as it will definitely work everywhere.

          Unless things have changed recently, my understanding is that all the woolworths group gift cards work at all their stores. You can use Big W, Dan Murphys giff cards at woolies too.
          It’s just different design and branding.

          I wouldn't know but I believe it's marketing. You give someone a Dan Murphy's card and they think "ahh I'm going to go buy some alcohol". Or moreso if someone is trying to find the gift for the alcoholic in the family that's hard to shop for "Oh I know, I'll get them a Dan Murphy's gift card". That's just the one example but you get the idea

        They paid me only half of what the cashback rate promised, and I had full proof of this.
