Opal Travel - Woolworths Gift Card Top up

Hi all,

Does anyone know if you can still top up your Opal cards at Woolworths using gift cards?

Been a while since I've topped up and not sure if it is still allowed..

Cheers

    yes. at the service desk

    • You just won't get points for it for bonus shops like at Coles e.g. spend $60 get 2000 points

      • No points I believe. Never scan my rewards card

      • interesting. can coles opal recharge work for these 4 weeks shops combine bonus as well?

        • Yes, but unless you plan on holding multiple Opal cards, you can only have a maximum balance of $250

  • Which woolies have this?

    Just confirming that this still works, though I had to confirm it myself as the staff weren’t sure themselves.

    Bought $100 voucher using MyNrma app with a 4% discount.

    • did you say to the staff that you are paying with giftcard in the check out?

        Yeah, the ones I spoke to didn’t mind.

        • someone just told me that he can't top up opal from woolies giftcard, would you mind confirming did you go to woolies townhall or you just top it up recently?

            @ivyholmes: I literally topped it up again last night at Woolworths Matraville. The previous $100 was at Woolworths Hillsdale. Haven’t ever topped up at Town Hall.

            • @D0OMZDAYZ: Wow so then it depends on the staff. I tried to to up with pay rewards last sunday in Woolies Lakemba and then they didn't accept it. I forget that I can pay by giftcard. I might try again sometime next week. Thank you really appreciate.

                @ivyholmes: I really can’t comment on using Woolworths Rewards as I’m just buying discounted gift cards via mynrma but yeah no issues so far.

  • anyone know if Everyday Rewards credits can still do Opal top up or new card purchase at woolies? have done it in the past but haven't tried for at least over a year now

    Just tried to top up today, both Woolworths gift card and wish card failed. Looks like the discounted opal top up days from woolies are now over.

    • RIP, this hack saved me over $100 a year just by pressing a few buttons every now and then.

      Still worked this morning for me.

  • Is there a list of store that has the opal topup facility?
    I've been to a few who couldn't do it as they didn't have the machine.
