Spotted at Woolworths Northgate SA earlier today a banner stating 10% off Selected Gift Cards (TEEN, HIM, HER, CINEMA, RESTAURANT, PUB & BAR) $100 Value.

For some reason this promotion was not included in the weekly catalogue and staff struggled to reduce the price by 10% at the checkout.

The manager made a few calls around and advised to pay for the gift cards at full price and 10% was refunded back in a separate transaction.

I purchased 7 X $100 HIM Gift Cards for $700 and was refunded $70 in a separate transaction.

Note: HIM and HER cards can be used at JB Hi-Fi for those who managed to pre-order a Playstation 5 console.

Mod Note: Removed Duplicates from the title

Deal expired @ 4:30PM AEDT as users are reporting that Woolworths are not honoring the offer.

    I'm pretty sure the Teen, Him and Her Gift Cards aren't meant to be discounted.

    Catalogue only states:

    Google Play, The Pub & Bar Card, The Cinema Card or The Hotel & Holiday Card Gift Card

    EDIT: OP updated with images.

    • codinghelloworld on 20/01/2021 - 14:59

      Same here, I have to view the catalog again to make sure whether they are included.

      TEEN, HIM and HER Gift Cards are included in the discount

      Yep, it mentions selected and no where in OPs photo is their additional advertising to suggest it includes the additional mentioned gift cards.

    Had an issue with the RESTAURANT giftcard, so I called and messaged the customer service.
    Never heard back from them.

      stay away from resto gift card… many eateries are refusing to accept it now in NSW…

      • bopster8 on 21/01/2021 - 17:47

        Thanks, sadly I got it when they first came out and can't access the link now.
        Looks like $100 down the gurgler.

          try your luck… complaint back to your merchant…

          who knows got a refund.

          ACCC probably can help too…

          • bopster8 on 22/01/2021 - 14:36

            @thomalfa: Thanks, got it off ShopBack, but might have to resort to ACCC.
            The battle will go on.

      • Coops1 on 22/01/2021 - 17:04

        It’s an eftpos card, ffs, just use the god damn thing. They have no idea what card your using anyways. It has support across industry associations in Queensland. https://qha.org.au/hospitality-gift-card-launch-nationwide-t…

      Nope, in-store only.

  • Puglife on 20/01/2021 - 15:11

    Just tried to purchase in-store. Store had no signage up and cards scanned at full price…

      Hand in your OzBargainer card!

  • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 15:16

    So, for those folks who know. How does it work? Would WoolWorths be buying these cards for 20% less than what they’re selling them for, or something along those lines? It doesn’t make sense to me how they make much of a profit on these, when ordinarily if the average consumer buys one from say JB or whatever, there isn’t a discount. How is Woollies making much money here?

    • Feeblely on 20/01/2021 - 15:17

      The gift card company is taking a hit for advertisement

      • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 15:19

        Aha. Okay. So basically these are gift cards that can be used at lots of different retailers, not just specific ones? I didn’t realise that.

        Thanks for the reply :)

    • ballofspam on 20/01/2021 - 15:20

      most likely loss leader

      • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 15:23
        +4

        What is a loss leader? Is that something that the stores sell, which is effectively costing them money just to get people in the door to buy other stuff that they didn’t set out to buy? So essentially, go into buy discount gift cards, and end up buying other stuff?

        • Jonzay on 20/01/2021 - 15:28
          +3

          Yes, essentially.

          Another example is the cheap homebrand milk.

          • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 18:05
            +1

            @Jonzay: Ah okay. Never realised the milk would be a loss leader, but it is cheap, and it’s always at the back of the store, so that makes sense.

            Thanks for the reply :)

        • ballofspam on 20/01/2021 - 15:31
          +1

          Bingo, it could be done by Woollies. But most likely The Card Network is absorbing most of the costs

          • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 18:06

            @ballofspam: Fair enough. There’s so many intricacies to these things I never really considered.

            Thanks for the reply :)

    • ExtraSalt on 20/01/2021 - 15:51

      I assume its like how businesses get bulk discounts buying their employees Coles Myers gift cards at the end of the year.

      • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 18:13

        Ah ok. Kind of like they get heaps of these gift cards more or less half comp’d by corporate?

        I mean, the other thing I was just thinking of then is what happens if/when the vouchers expire? I mean, it’s kind of weird to think that there’s actual dollars In the form of a card that just no longer exist after a certain point. Does that money just cease to exist?

        And thanks for the reply :)

    • tritorius on 20/01/2021 - 15:58
      +4

      The other thing to consider is that GiftCards only have something like a 55% redemption rate…companies know this and it's free, easy money. For every Ozbargainer stacking up on 10% off cards, there is another grandma buying this at full price for their grandkid to sit in a drawer and never get used.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/01/2021 - 16:03

        People tend to forget, but don't they have to honour them no matter if they've expired?

      • BertieBrown on 20/01/2021 - 18:09

        I never even considered this, not even as like a thing, but that makes so much sense.

        That’s seems like a really great, but I guess kind of shady, way for businesses to make money? Well, I guess only really if they say that the gift cards expire though.

        Thanks for the info :) so much I had no idea about.

    • Meovel on 20/01/2021 - 15:28

      No restriction, I used 20 to buy ip12 and recently Xbox. Even if there is, you can buy JB gc with it to ease the restriction.

          You cannot swap JB gift card for JB gift card.
          You can swap TCN cards for JB cards if the staff don't crack the shits.

So basically was waste of time for me but maybe good for other people. But yeah the post should be changed

    • Meovel on 20/01/2021 - 15:29

    Get in quick guys. Was just told this offer has been cancelled which is why it isn’t scanning. If your woolies has a sign up you are in luck as they should honour it (refunding the $70).

      Tell them to refund 10% separately, because under law they are required to honour the price.

      Or give you a WW gift card to the same value if easier.

      • spc12go on 20/01/2021 - 16:39

        In a statement to 7NEWS.com.au a spokesman for Woolworths said: “Woolworths is a signatory to the Scanning Code of Practice.”

        “Under the Code, our customers are entitled to receive an item free of charge if the scanned price of an item is greater than the shelf price displayed.”

        “The only exceptions under the Code are products with a shelf price greater than $50, as well as tobacco and liquor products. These products will be adjusted to reflect the shelf price.”

    • WookieMonster on 20/01/2021 - 16:59

      Call the Woolworths support line (1300 767 969) if you’re not able to resolve the issue at the store level. If you explain the situation, there is a good chance the Woolworths support line will be able to resolve the issue.

      As mentioned before, you should at a minimum get a refund of the difference for all the gift cards, and you may be issued a full refund for one gift card due to the Scanning Code of Practice (depending on the denomination of gift cards you purchased). I always thought the Scanning Code of Practice excluded gift cards, but apparently that is not an exclusion under Woolworths’ policy.

    • RichardF89 on 20/01/2021 - 17:17

    Do these apply to the $50 gift card as well? I just went to a Woolworth which had the signage on but no more $100, so I tried to buy the $50 ones and they weren't discounted, I was told only the $100 ones were. I went to another Woolies whivh had tons of $100s but no signage and they wouldn't honour the deal

    • thomalfa on 21/01/2021 - 12:32

      grab the inactive $100 cards and bring back to the store that honour the 10%… solves your issue…

        If you can actually use it. When I got mine from Coles back in December 2020, it worked at the restaurants I frequented, after a couple of weeks, it was blocked.

        The discount is only worth it if TCN weren't that dodgy.

      not just that… many eateries have refused to accept it… at least that's my experience at NSW…

      but @coops1 above claimed s/he has no issue and used $500+… so good luck…

    • miztadave on 24/01/2021 - 08:53

      It would be more of a miss than a hit to describe either Maccas or KFC as restaurants:-P

      • t25 on 24/01/2021 - 15:41

        But even some actual sit in restaurants are hit and miss. What is annoying is that they worked when they first came out, but was declined a week later. This shows that TCN is moving goal posts.

      • Coops1 on 24/01/2021 - 22:09

        The complaints of not being able to use the cards mainly relate to KFC and McDonalds!
        TCN specifically exclude them - *Not valid at fast food or quick service restaurants.
