Dan Murphy's Giftcard as Wish Giftcard

fan8956 on 25/02/2021 - 22:20

Hi everyone, I am aware of the recent announcements:
- Wish giftcard and some other woolworths group giftcards have got the discount reduced from 5% to around 3-4% depending on the card via most membership rewards program, like Suncorp etc.
- Woolworths group giftcards are no longer as effective as wish giftcard.

My question: has anyone actually verify they are no longer the same as wish giftcard? I saw Suncorp is still giving 5% discount for Dan Murphy's eGC so I am thinking to get some and use it at Woolies Caltex and Woolies supermarket.

Thanks in advance.

    Yes they are no longer the same. Your transaction will not go through.

      Thanks for the reply. Did you try it recently?

        Yes I tried last Saturday at Woolies Caltex with a DMs eGC.

        Operator asked if my eGC started with a 555 (Wish eGC) - which DMs eGC does not.

          Thanks, for other guys, I can confirm the new Wish eGC I got 25/02/2021 starts with 555 now. That is probably the way going forwards. If you still have the old woolies eGC like I did, it starts with 555 as well, that's why they are the same as Wish eGC.

          Also for people who wants to get wish egc, Macquarie Bank marketplace offers wish eGC with 4% discount. That was where I got mine

    Short answer: No.

    Long answer: No. The numbering system for gift cards at Woolworths Group stores changed mid-to-late last year. For example, Big W e-gift cards now start with 712, Woolworths e-gift cards now start with 711 and WISH e-gift cards now start with 555. It is safe to assume Dan Murphy's-branded gift cards start with a different number and you cannot use them outside of a Dan Murphy's store; I tested out the gift card system by trying to redeem a Big W e-gift card at a Woolworths store, but the POS system returned an error.

    I haven't bought a Dan Murphy's-branded gift card through Suncorp, so I cannot confirm for certain what the e-gift card prefix is, but it is safe to assume that Suncorp is smart enough to only provide Dan Murphy's-branded gift card (not WISH gift cards) when you purchase a Dan Murphy's-branded gift card.

      DM prefix is 715

      Found this spreadsheet, under BusinessUse it has a column indicating prefix number. apparently some other store branded Christmas card has 555 prefix.

    Card Rejected, Card Unknown. Feel free to try, though.

    BTW, if your order paid by store eGC is canceled by any stores, you'll receive a Wish card.

      I'm assuming you're referring to online orders?

      Whenever I've been refunded in-store at Woolworths, refunds have been process onto:

      • The e-gift card originally used for the purchase
      • Physical Woolworths / Big W returns gift card
      • Physical Essentials gift card
      • Physical WISH gift card
      • Cash
      • Debit/credit card

    FWIW, the Caltex Woolworths eGift cards through Suncorp are currently Wish eGift cards (555). Only a 3% discount like the Woolworths-only eGift cards, but it gives you greater flexibility.

    Survey rewards providers that use Giftpay seem to have got rid of Wish cards too. It sucks. Only Woolworths cards available now..
