I just got an e-mail from woolworths about the mobile 10% off no longer applying online starting in July which is insane cause the whole reason I got this shitty plan with it's barely passable coverage and much lower speeds is because of the online deal.

I also got the plan in late January only so I had to wait 45 days for it to take effect, and so far only used the 10% 2 times. To add insult to injury I just got the unlimited delivery a few days ago since beforehand I used the free month. So I literally paid 120$ for no reason given that without this deal it makes no sense for me to shop at Woolworths anymore since I only got it is due to the 10% off via the mobile plan, which I only planned to use online.

Otherwise I would have just shopped at Coles since it's both significantly closer to me if I were to go in person, and would have been cheaper with the 2$ online deliveries if you purchase a day or so in advance/free over 250$, not to mention it's slightly cheaper on some regular price items I get. If I wanted to go in person, I would've stuck to Aldi but I'll now have to go out of my way to go in person to Woolworths ffs.

I don't get how they can change T&C mid cycle though and not allow people to finish their plan before making the new changes, is this legal? Cause at this point I feel like I got scammed, both with the shittier coverage for the same price as something like boost (have the 365 day plan), and with the 120$ unlimited plan that I'm now stuck with and won't be using anymore.

    Yeah, I'm really p***ed off too, about the changes.

    On top of this, the minimum online delivery charge has been jacked up to $75, AND we now have to pay fees for the paper bags.

    I'm planning to do all my shopping at Coles & Aldi, from now on.

      Is Aldi's online delivery plan/discount better? I wasn't aware they even had one!

    • madgasser on 30/05/2023 - 20:11

      Does this affect you even if you paid the 120$ upfront yearly fee or only if you pay on a month by month basis?

      Surely there must be some laws against changing terms of contract within that same cycle after payment is made.

      Edit: It does, but they gave me 3 extra months free. Whatever, done w them after this, both mobile and shopping there in general.

    Yip, if i’m now driving places I’m off to Aldi or Costco.

    I’m with you. It’s not right.

  • SydBoy on 30/05/2023 - 19:40

    Issue is no other super market offer 10% discount so Woolworths can do whatever they want… !

    Best to continue shopping with Aldo and Coles.

    Yep. We all should move away from Woolworths mobile as soon as our plans expire, and vote with our feet by shopping elsewhere. Very disappointing.

  • GPAK on 30/05/2023 - 20:30

    Same only reason I used Woolworths mobile for 10% discount and deliveries online which I've been doing for 3+ yrs!

  • fez on 31/05/2023 - 14:24

    Yeh it’s disappointing

  • scar4ace on 31/05/2023 - 16:48

    hey folks, looking to shop at Coles online since the 10% online discount is being phase out at WW.
    I have ~$600 worth of flybuy dollars as points right now so looking forward to utilise these too.

    Trying to line up payment options for when I switch, Anyone shop at Coles Online?
    Could you pls confirm my understanding below:

    • Cannot use discounted eGiftcards (the ones typically around 4% discount from employer rewards/membership schemes etc).
    • Can use flybuy dollars only up to $50 worth per transaction and via Flypay (when it works!) (In store the FB$ redemption limit is higher?)
    • Can I split payment either directly or via Flypay payment across multiple cards? For eg if my shop is $150 and I pay via Flypay, can I choose to pay $50 via FB$, $50 via Card 1, balance on Card 2?

    It would be great if I can load the discounted $250 Coles Mastercard on to Flypay and run them down across mutliple shops.

    Merged from Woolworths 10% off Online Gone

    Went to use my monthly 10% discount for Woolies while doing an online shop only to get an error on the voucher code. Checked the Woolworths Mobile app to check I had the right code, and it now says that the 10% off is valid in store only!

    Given this, it is now unlikely I will renew my Woolworths Mobile. Kinda disappointed tbh. Had a great thing going. How do you feel about the change?

    • rekke on 03/07/2023 - 13:27

      Absolute rort, back to Aldi and pulling the pin on Everday Extras monthly membership.

    • Nugs on 03/07/2023 - 13:27

      only used in store, because I prefer to do my own shopping
      .

      • fredblogs on 03/07/2023 - 17:48

        how come?

          selection of perishables to my liking
          keep an eye out for discounted items not in the catalogue
          listen to the instore music
          .

    • freefall101 on 03/07/2023 - 13:37

      I'm weighing up whether it's worth keeping for the discount off giftcards. But will probably dump it.

    • thesaver on 03/07/2023 - 13:40

      Bummer probably worked out you could do one online and one instore. I would still do Woolies over ALDI though, aldi is just home brand in a fancy label products are made side by side.

    • randomusername2017 on 03/07/2023 - 13:42

      It's not like they didn't give advance notice

      • djsweet on 03/07/2023 - 13:51

        Well I guess I missed the advanced notice. Still a bummer either way.

    • Smigit on 05/07/2023 - 18:49

      Change didn’t impact me as we do our shopping in store anyway.

      Still think they’re an ok option as a carrier too even without the 10% given the access to Telstra and generally competitive plans from a data and cost perspective compared to other carriers. Might be cheaper deals but I’m not sure there’s anyone massively ahead.
