This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

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.

      Thanks to the OP, many more people had the opportunity to score discounted gift cards. Instead of a small, self-entitled percentage hogging the deal, it benefitted more people. If you want to “share” secret deals, use the private message facility

        Yeah this way more people benefited rather than a small group benefiting more times. Of course they're mad but it's for the greater good.

          Wdym a whole of lazy people got the info and a few acted upon it.
          Meanwhile many more dedicated Ozb who were planning to go and buy now can't because you decided to parade to the whole world an enticing loophole.
          I'm all for as many people knowing and using deals but publicising it too much can be less beneficial overall.

        • tharlow on 22/11/2022 - 18:01

          Well, we have no way of knowing who did what — so we can’t definitively answer that question. But I find the “secret club” thing quite irritating. I thought we were better than that

            @tharlow: If every loophole was advertised this obviously then there wouldn’t be any loopholes. I’d understand if OP found it themself, but just reposting someone else’s find seems unfair. They could have posted it as a deal but chose not to.

              @um: There have been countless “VPN deals” posted. What’s your point, again?

        They didn't have the opportunity.
        They had the knowledge of but publicly publicising this deal has reduced the overall number who would be otherwise used it.
        Only people cheering now are you, OP and WW

            @CheapBrah: Okay great just throw cheap insults.
            No point explaining how you've disincentivised
            People from posting as you're just here to parade your upvotes and apparent achievement of equality.
            Reality is that we want to have it openly listed but companies monitor ozb and thus we need to be more subvert to avoid detection, nothing elitist about that.
            We can instead vet all users of Ozb going forward to maximise the benefit but that's practically impossible and actually stops more people from getting benefits from such a community

          So by not publicising a deal nobody sees it and more people benifit from it?

          Makes perfect sense!

            @spaceflight: You are just too lazy to know it then you don't deserve it. How can other ozbargainer knows it but not you.

                  So you just want to be spoon fed.

                  I never said that.

                  The loophole got shutdown in matter of few hours

                  Correlation does not equal causation.

                  and those like you claiming they have a life suddenly now have time to rush to get it.

                  I never rushed to get it, I never saw the deal while it was available
                  As I said I have a life and don't spend every minute of every day on this one website reading every comment that gets posted.

                  You are full of s…

                  So I'll explain how ozbargain works.

                  Someone finds what they think is a deal
                  They post it so that other people can see it and benifit from it
                  The community votes if it is a good deal.

                  Ozbargain is not a treasure hunt website where you need to read thousands of comments to find a deal.
                  The whole idea of ozbargain is literally to spoon feed deals to people.

                  This deal has 160 positive votes.
                  The original comment hidden away has about 15 positive votes.

                  What allowed more people to benifit?

                  At least that comment of yours made sense, unlike the other one.

        Lol self-entitled. Barely fits the definition.

    • PeeDee on 22/12/2022 - 13:57

      Yeah if only there is a way… Ozbargain is very exposed to everyone. You could otherwise share it in technical sites that could reduce the chances of future staff being known. Retailers are monitoring this site thanks to how easy it is to enter

  • lilkid28 on 22/11/2022 - 20:24

    OP, it must feel great to get your first post with 100 likes. Congrats again. However, sometimes with loopholes like this, why not let it stay under the radar within individual/upcoming Big W/Woolies gift card deals? Yes, maybe 150 people or say 300 benefited from your post today. However, if you didn't publicise this hack, 3000 other users could benefit over the next few weeks/months.

    • Aureus on 22/11/2022 - 20:38

      Maybe, maybe not. These issues usually get fixed pretty quickly even when they are not on the front page of OzBargain.

        It had been on for 5 days and got plugged in the middle of a trading day (a few hours after being posted) that smells of H/O getting tipped off and rushing to fix not a standard system update (would've at least happened overnight if not over the next few days)

          They probably noticed the sudden increase in membership numbers since it's a new thing only to see they were all buying the same thing.

    • Applause on 22/11/2022 - 22:16

      Both methods of sharing being a deal and keeping it in the comment are good intentioned methods for people to get the most out of the hacks. One gives a large amount of people over a short amount of time whereas the other gives a growing amount of people a longer time.

      Neither are right or wrong, or can be known which reaches more people, it comes down to how quickly the business will find out. How quickly that can be made to happen comes from experience dealing with hacks over time.

      What is wrong, however, is contacting the business to ask regarding a hack or order using a hack.

  • Gumbootboy on 22/11/2022 - 21:10

    So I got some before they patched it. Used self service. It mentioned something about needing a casheir to help, but then it printed a whole bunch of small receipts and i assume it was done?

    Does anyone know if they will be working? Or was I supposed to.go see someone with all the receipts?

    • JDMcarfan on 22/11/2022 - 21:26

      Receipt just says activation successful. You're fine.

    • RichieVn on 22/11/2022 - 21:40

      What time did u get that done ?

      • Gumbootboy on 22/11/2022 - 21:48

        Like 3 or 330pm. In South Sydney.
        Got 5x$100 Home + 1x$50 Everyone, plus a Christmas bag for $1.50. Came to $446.85.
        Did that twice using my wifes card too so ended up with $1100 for $893.70. And it was on the Citi Premier Credit Card which should earn a bunch of Woolies vouchers once I hit the spend.

    I cant believe people got the variable cards to work, they didnt even discount to 10% without using the hack in the normal promotion when I tried. ended up with 40+ gift cards to by my drone at 10% off haha

      what are you even saying? do you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?

      • noise36 on 23/11/2022 - 21:41

        The ultimate gift cards had 10% off already before this hack. Some people seem to have got it to stack. i.e. 10% + 10% . I couldn't even get the variable dollar cards to show a 10% discount before even trying this hack, had to grab lots of $50 cards.
