[Hack, Everyday Extra] 10% off Gift Cards (Including Amazon) @ Big W (Everyday Extra Members)

If you add a non gift card item to your purchase of gift cards at Big W, you can apply the 10% Everyday Extra discount to your purchase which is not supposed to work on gift cards. I have just completed a purchase of Amazon gift cards and a box of tissues and the discount worked.

Why fight gang members for 10% off Amazon gift cards at Aldi when you can buy the ample stock at Big W?

Its free to signup to a new Rewards account and start a trial of Everyday Extra. So you can repeat as often as required. 30-Day Free Trial Subscription to Everyday Extra from Everyday Rewards (Then $7 Per Month).

I have only tried this with fixed denomination gift cards currently rather than variable load.

There is apparently an update being rolled out across checkouts so for some stores this hack doesnt work, but for now it seems to work in most Big W shops.

Credit to Heiks900 for originally finding that Everyday Extra 10% works on top of 10% Ultimate gift cards savings.

        10 card limit.

        • Thanks for the response mate. Heading to a big w this arvo to buy!

          • @melboomman: I think it's a $500 limit in terms of discount.

        • How much money did you spend?

          • @J6: Under $500. Didn't want to hit a ceiling, miss discount, set off alarm bells, or get the "you aren't buying this for a scam, are you?" speech again. Just don't forget to include a miscellaneous item in your purchase (a snack, a sponge, something!)

    • Did you go to self-checkout or cash register?

      • I did self-checkout. The staff still need to 'authorise' the GCs anyway. But they were super-kind at that particular store, and explained the receipts etc. Lovely shopping experience!

        • Perfect! Did you purchase Amazon gc or Ultimate gc by the way? Were there also heaps of gc left? Sorry for the questions hehe. Thanks!

          • +1

            @Its Never Enough: Yes, plenty of both. I did hear staff chattering about gift cards, and they went over and checked stock. But there were certainly lots there at the time. Some are miss-placed as well. I saw a variable Amazon one hiding behind the standard Amazon $50's for example. Some cards are gone, but still lots of options on my excursion.
            Edit: As per my original post, I brought Amazon GCs.

  • Can you use visa giftcards to purchase other giftcards?

  • +1

    Can confirm its still working in WA.

    • Self checkout or cashier? Does it work with Ultimate GC as well?

  • +1

    Just worked in QLD 4509, custom value $400 through cashier checkout.

    • Was there many Amazon gc left? I was about to go there in a few hours

      • yes, many

  • Ultimate gc doesn’t work anymore, tried home and him :(

  • +2

    Just confirmed still working as well haha - epping vic store. still loads of gc on the shelves. did it myself at self service checkout.

  • How do get to work? I went through a self service checkout and still showed full price.

    • after scanning, after getting the staff over to manually confirm, scan everyday rewards… (order not important)…. hit pay, THEN the discount is applied then.

  • +1

    Just worked with a variable $500 Amazon GC at NSW Big W instore (added a couple non-GC items to be sure). Self checkout showed full price so I went to cash register and it worked there. Cashier did confirm if I wanted 10% off after I scanned rewards card so I suppose it's discretionary

    Worked at Big W Rouse Hill NSW
    $400 variable load + drink for $362.90

    • If it's variable load, you won't get the 10% off Ultimate Gift Cards, only the Rewards 10% off.

      • +1

        Didn’t buy the Ultimate card …

    • Your total indicates you only got the normal 10% off gift cards, not the extra 10% off the regular discounted gift cards.

      • +1

        I bought Amazon cards …..

    Don't publicise this.

    • +4

      Yes… this is a deal website… what are they thinking??!!

      • Sometimes deals are in the comments - and should stay in the comments.
        If you paid attention you'd know. I didn't but I'm not bitter because people want to benefit from it so much that the loophole gets closed.

        • If you paid attention you'd know.

          You mean, if I’m surfing this website 24/7? OK, but not everyone has time for that.

          I guess I’m just not dedicated enough to join your club. Sorry

          • +1

            @tharlow: That's why one get the reward.
            I personally spend more time contributing to the community than just getting the deals.
            You're the kind who gets bitter because you miss out

            • +3

              @ShouldIBuyIt: You wouldn’t have a clue what my kind is. You, however, sound much more selfish than altruistic. I was hoping you were contributing for the good of the community, and not personal gain

              • +3

                @tharlow: You do nothing for the community instead just come here to leech from others and destroy it for everyone else.

              • +1

                @tharlow: Well well well. Who got it right, who was selfish now?

      • Better get in quick then because this one is gonna be gone a lot sooner than it would have been. Enjoy.

        • That’s an assumption. An alternative assumption is that many more people will be able to take advantage of this deal thanks to the OP

          • +1

            @tharlow: And if you want to be one of those many more people, then hop to it.

  • has anyone confirmed that apple GC's are working?

  • +9

    25 reports couldnt stop me

    • Often the elitists are the minority. But be careful with the bragging — the knives will be out lol

      • Then go and figure it out yourself instead of leeching and keeps bragging about it.

        • OP did figure it out themselves. They bought Amazon gift cards and got 10% off. They also gave credit to the original thread and participants. After all the hate and vitriol I would cut them some slack!

          • +1

            @tharlow: Figure out my ass, all he did is just leeched from others' comments. And you are shamelessly even claim that credit.

            Both of you are just those young and stupid and you are exactly the reason why ppl should be more concern about what info to share on here.

  • What’s the maximum transaction limit for this discount code?

    Looking to purchase 2k worth of Amazon GCs

    • $500

      • Does discount still apply if you buy $500 worth of GCs plus another miscellaneous item since that would bring it over the limit.
        Or is it just maxed at $50 discount

        • +2

          Yeah just caps to $50 off.

  • +3

    Worked for me, added $300 to a JB GC and paid $270, plus 0.70 for a Triple Dippers candy.

    Full price will come up at self check out, then after you add your Rewards card, at the end, it will ask if you would like to use your 10%.

  • -5

    People who are buying gift cards and only getting a total of 10% off thinking they got it to work.. err.. I have some bad news for you.. the gift cards are already 10% off without this everyday rewards hack. Or they are buying variable gift cards that have no discount currently and the everyday rewards hack is giving you 10% off. You're better off buying non variable to get the double 10% discoint.

    Eg. $500 worth of gift cards are currently $450. With the hack, it brings it down to $405.

    Please check your maths.

    • who

      • asked

      • @itsme56 and @markymark2010 for example. Their totals only indicate 10% discount.

        If they didn't use variable loads and bought multiples of $50 gift cards, they'd have gotten a further 10% off, giving them effectively 19% off instead of their 10%.

        • why not multiples of $100

        • No. I just didn’t buy Ultimate cards. I bought Amazon cards …

      • test

    • +2

      Your logic only applies to Ultimate gift cards.

      People getting the straight 10% are buying gift cards for places like Amazon, JB, etc. Which are not on sale.

      • +2

        Ahh I stand corrected. Everyone please neg my above comments to teach me a lesson.

      • But ultimate everyone and some others have JB HiFi usage. Why would you not buy these instead?

        • because they are not going to JB

    • He got a fair point, 10% on jb giftcard is pretty ordinary. I've been able to stack up a fair amount of them over time and only did that i could get it for 20% discount or so. Unless you need it for one of large purchases of TV or so I wouldn't waste cash banking on them. The amount deals from jbhifi that made to the front page is hardly worth it.

      Great, now I've got the whole Woolworth's IT team messaging me posing as ozbargainers looking for a deal.

      • You’d think they could code-in their own 30% backdoor. Gotta hand it to them for ethical exploitation of their own oversights

    • +2

      He's bluffing. Theres one for 15% off, none at 30% off

      • Where?

      • I wouldn't mind the code 🙄

    Congrats OP! You have succesfully closed this hack in a few hours. Sharing it within a gift card deal still OK, not make a post about it shouting to Big W/Woolies IT staff to fix it ASAP. You happy now?

      • Wow you're fantastic
