Collect 20x Everyday Rewards Points on Apple Gift Card

‡Offer available from 17/8/22 to 23/8/22 on all denominations of Apple Gift Cards (excluding $20 Apple Gift Card), in Woolworths Supermarkets and Woolworths Metro, while stocks last. Excludes Woolworths Online, Ampol Woolworths MetroGo and Metro60. Standard points will not be earned on the amount spent on gift cards, but the relevant number of bonus points which you qualify for under this offer. Bonus points can take up to 14 business days to be loaded onto your Everyday Rewards Card from the date of purchase. Refer to individual cards for their terms and conditions. Limit of 10 cards per transaction and one transaction per day per Rewards Member.

Basically 10% of the Apple gift card’s value returned to you in the form of Everyday Rewards points.1

  1. The 10% calculation assumes you opt to redeem your Everyday Rewards points for Everyday Rewards Dollars (either through Money Off Shopping or Bank For Christmas). - Credits to WookieMonster ↩

    Spend your earned Woolworths dollars ASAP if you take advantage of this.

    There are significant amounts of fraud in the EDR system.

      other alternative to automatic convert to QF points so keep it less than 2K EDR points at all time

    • portard on 15/08/2022 - 17:16

      Can you stack all the $10 offs in a single transaction or does it only do $10 off per transaction?

      • coxymla on 15/08/2022 - 17:19

        Can redeem it all at once.

        Not sure whether you get the option to redeem say $20 if you have $30 but spend $23.

        • Onnzo on 15/08/2022 - 17:45

          It only redeems to the nearest $10 rounded down.

      You can switch your account to "Bank for Christmas" mode so your dollars are safe until you do a big shop.

      Fraudster used up all my Woolies dollars a few days after I got the bonus points. I have a feeling it’s an insider job and the employees exploiting the system!

        Same thing happened to me, bought a ton of gift cards and the next day points gone. Woolworths quickly refunded them to me so no complaints in the end although agree feels like an inside job or their systems are massively compromised.

            @Omarko: You can check balances and redeem points with just the everyday rewards barcode/member number.

            I suspect there's a API somewhere that the kiosks use to display your points balance.

      • SpaceJudge on 15/08/2022 - 21:51

        Ha ha opposite of that happened to me, I’m in NSW and someone from Vic used mine.

        • Wickz on 15/08/2022 - 22:09

          The Woolies customer service where great. Gave me a new card number and reaccredited the points.

          The guy I was dealing with said it happens all the time and they think it’s just an RNG thing where they swipe fake cards.

          I agree that it should ask for a pin or some sort of authorisation before using the rewards.

    • Duff5000 on 16/08/2022 - 21:14

        That is "safe" because you can't change the setting without your password and 2FA.

      • Mistredo on 18/08/2022 - 13:00

          You can switch between Money Off Shopping and Bank For Christmas at any time you want.

          If you switch from Bank For Christmas to Money Off Shopping, all your Everyday Rewards Dollars will become immediately available for redemption.

          If you're in-store when you make the switch, make sure to make the switch before you start a transaction and scan your Everyday Rewards card. One time, I switched my redemption option from Bank For Christmas to Money Off Shopping after I started a transaction and scanned my Everyday Rewards card, but the checkout was unable to redeem any Everyday Rewards Dollars. I had to get the transaction suspended and move to a different checkout before I could redeem any Everyday Rewards Dollars.

      During the very first Apple gift card deal at Woolworths, someone purchased $36,000 worth of Apple gift cards. They had so many Everyday Rewards Dollars that they were able to purchase some Apple gift cards using Everyday Rewards Dollars.

      (AFAIK, Everyday Rewards have now changed their system so you can no longer force a checkout to forcibly redeem Everyday Rewards Dollars to cover the cost of any gift cards you are purchasing if you have too many Everyday Rewards Dollars on your account.)

      • rzy6cn on 15/08/2022 - 20:29

        As long as the points can be credited to the account it should be fine. Just trying to stock up for the next release in Sept.

          You should have the bonus points credited to you as soon as you finalise the transaction. When you’re at a self-serve checkout:

          • When you go to the payment screen, there should be a points counter towards the top right-hand corner that shows the total number of points you have earned during the transaction. However, I note that some Woolworths locations around Australia do not show this.

          • Additionally, when you go to the payment screen, if the points you earn from the transaction will take you over account balance over 2000 points, you will see a message pop up saying “Congrats, you have earned $xx off your next shop” (or something similar if you choose to redeem your Everyday Rewards points for Qantas points).

          If you want to get $5,000 in Apple gift cards though, you’ll need to do this across multiple transactions over multiple days. I have never heard of a Woolworths store manager or duty manager approve any gift card purchases above $2,500 in one transaction, and I wonder whether they are even allowed to approve that much in one go…

          Btw, if you want to start purchasing Apple gift cards and get bonus Everyday Rewards points before this Woolworths deal starts, you can go to a BIG W store and purchase Apple gift cards there (although that deal specifies a maximum of ten gift cards per Everyday Rewards account).

      • BargainBenno on 15/08/2022 - 22:21

        You can’t. The eftpos machine at the register won’t allow a woolies gift card as payment for an Apple Card.

      • itunes on 17/08/2022 - 22:05

        If you register for student rewards (no validation you are a student) you can but Woollies gift cards at a 4% discount. If you pay for that transaction using Hiver (no validation you meet their requirements) you get 5% cash back on the amount spent.
        Small savings but money better off in your pocket than theirs.

        But I think the posters are right, you cant use the Woollies gift cards to purchase apple… but you can use the above for your normal Woolies shop or buying Dan Murphy or Big W gift cards… discounts vary

        The Woollies mobile discount only becomes available 45 days after you become active with them and appears in the Reward app if you have linked added your rewards number to your mobile account. But it is the same as the Student Edge discount for gift cards… with the added benefit of 10% off 1 shop a month.

      No your Apple ID just retains the credit. I used $4000 worth a few months ago of apple cards online and then did a return as I decided I wanted a MacBook Pro with more memory. This was before the original order was delivered. I cancelled the order and then my Apple ID had the $4000 credit. You with get it returned to the gift cards.

      You cannot use Everyday Pay to purchase any gift cards at Woolworths or BIG W under any circumstances, because that is how Everyday Rewards set up Everyday Pay. Even if you only have a credit card attached to Everyday Pay, there is still no way you can use it to purchase any gift cards.

      If you attempt to pay for any gift cards at Woolworths using Everyday Pay, you will get an Items Not Allowed error and you’ll be kicked back to the regular self-serve checkout payment screen.

      It used to be possible to do this during the trial phase for Everyday Pay, but that stopped before Everyday Pay exited the trial phase.

  • potm on 17/08/2022 - 10:13

    Anyone know if the one transaction per day limit actually applies. Woolies would only let me do $1k max in a single transaction.

    • WookieMonster on 17/08/2022 - 10:48
      +2

      The limit did not apply in a different gift card deal earlier this year. I was able to purchase EFTPOS gift cards at two different Woolworths supermarkets on the same afternoon and received the bonus points. I have no idea whether Everyday Rewards have changed things since then (and there is a possibility they have).

      You can verify that you will receive points in the transaction if you scan an Apple gift card at a self checkout and go to the payment screen:

      • Most (but not all) Woolworths stores will display a points counter at the top right-hand side of the self checkout screen. The counter will update to show the total number of points you will earn in the transaction as soon as you go onto the payment screen.

      • If the number of points you will earn in the transaction will take your points balance over 2,000, you will have a message pop up on the self checkout screen as soon as you press Pay Now. The message should say Congrats, you have earned $xx off a future shop or something along those lines.

      FYI you are not obliged to purchase the Apple gift card at this stage. You can ask the staff to void the transaction if you find that you are not going to be awarded any points for the transaction.

      Alternatively, if you have a BIG W store near you, they are also running a very similar deal in their stores that ends today.

    I find it disconcerting that the checkout registered my rewards card, but the paper receipts don’t give any indication of rewards card being registered?

    • WookieMonster on 19/08/2022 - 07:48

      That's a known issue (or at least it's known to me).

      It happened to a relative of mine once at BIG W when I went shopping with them. They scanned their Everyday Rewards card and the checkout said it accepted it, but as soon as the transaction was finalised and receipt was printed, the Everyday Rewards card was removed.

      When my relative contacted Everyday Rewards from claim the missing points (and I helped them do that), the Everyday Rewards team member was convinced my relative was lying about scanning the Everyday Rewards and then the checkout magically removing it. "There is no evidence that you ever scanned your Everyday Rewards card, so you obviously you never scanned it. Next time, add your Everyday Rewards card to your smartphone and actually remember to scan it before you finish your transaction." My relative still got the missing points manually credited, but it looks like Everyday Rewards (at that stage) did not actually acknowledge this as an issue.

      You will need to raise a missing points claim and explain why you have to do it (i.e. the checkout randomly removed the Everyday Rewards card).

      • Binggggo on 19/08/2022 - 07:59
        +1

        Thanks, I might try in store first if that works. Fortunately I was suspicious and screenshotted the checkout screen that shows the points, although they did not then end up on my paper receipt.

        • WookieMonster on 19/08/2022 - 09:17

          Based on my prior experiences at Woolworths, Woolworths staff have no way of retroactively adding Everyday Rewards points to your account and will tell you to contact Everyday Rewards to sort it out. I have heard of one or two cases where a store manager unilaterally compensated a customer as an apology, but my bet is that you'll be told to contact Everyday Rewards. Who knows though!

          This is different to Coles, where if you forget to scan your Flybuys card (or a staff member manually removed it without telling you), you can take the receipt and the Flybuys card to the service desk of the store of the original purchase and have the Flybuys points retroactively added to your account.

          help a brother out - why 24x?
          so e.g. spend $100 on Apple GC, get 2400 pts = $12 Woolworth dollars?

      Weird - it didn’t stack for me. Only got 10k points for $500 gift card purchase.

        Not $50 spend in one shop offer but save for Xmas one.

      It also didn't work for me.

          Do you have more details?

      Can I confirm if this refers to 'https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/718887'? It is quite confusing as the terms stated 'No points will be collected on smoking products, gift cards (including Woolworths WISH Gift Cards, e-gift cards and iTunes)'.

        20x points definitely apply to these Apple Gift Cards purchased at WW up to today - and it’s clearly stated in their current catalogue that is the case

    Do staff discounts apply to gift cards at all? For extra discount.
