Got this yesterday when I shopped in Woolworths and did not scan my Woolworths rewards card. My friend signed-up using the SMS option mentioned below. While signing up, the browser page showed that "Earn 1500 points for new members" offer was activated. But bonus points are not credit yet. Page says Bonus points might take 3 days to appear.
Text from the attached photo:

It's a recurring thing. Been going on for at least the last 2 years. Every time it 'expires' a new one comes along
