Receive 2,000 bonus Woolworths Rewards points (giving you $10 off your next shop) when you purchase a $100 Only1 Visa Gift Card. A $5.95 fee applies, so the total price to pay is $105.95.

Terms say maximum 10 cards per customer - but it's still unclear whether you get 2,000 points per card or 2,000 points overall irrespective of how many cards you purchase.

Limit of 10 cards per customer. Earn 2000 points to get $10 off a future shop. Offer available on pictured cards from 22/2/17 to 28/2/17.

    I'd like clarification on the 10 cards…

    • singingwolf on 20/02/2017 - 19:46

      OK, I'll be the Guinea Pig. I wonder if the points are instant or if you have wait a week or something.

      • darthsparrow on 20/02/2017 - 19:47

        Previous experience tells me it's instant. Hence I usually finalize the transaction per gift card so I can use the savings for the next card.

        • singingwolf on 20/02/2017 - 19:48

          Nice. OK. Will give it a crack.

      • iSamurai on 20/02/2017 - 19:58

        If you scan the card at the till, you should see 2000 points on the screen before paying. So buy one to check this is the case, and repeat with a second card - if you see 2000 points again then proceed to scan the remaining 8 (albeit $500 max per transaction).

        Q: if this works would anyone go crazy and ask their family members for their rewards cards to buy more?

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 22/02/2017 - 06:49

        Its instant

      You will get 2000 points for EACH card, purchase 4 this morning for 8000 bonus points

      • T-man on 22/02/2017 - 11:11

        Can you do the checkout one for all the cards, or one by one? Thanks.

  • digitalane on 20/02/2017 - 17:34

    so really its $5.95 to get $10? seems like a no brainer - also could be a cheap way of getting 870 qantas points

    • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 17:41

      I don't think you get both WOolies & Qantas points

      • doweyy on 20/02/2017 - 17:43

        You can choose "convert to qantas points" in your account to get 870 qantas points for every 2000 woolies points instead.

        • digitalane on 20/02/2017 - 17:46

          This ^

          Also if I buy using my Amex Edge I get another 315 points meaning $5.95 will net me 1185 Qantas points. If I. An do that ten times that's a great deal. Then just need to find a way to use the 10 cards

        • JIMB0 on 20/02/2017 - 19:06

          @digitalane: Use them where they don't take/surcharge AMEX.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 18:39

      $0.65 cents if you use eGiftcards… Or ~$0.39 if you have any eGiftcards from 5.25% sales. Unsure on legalities, but many have said they've succeeded in doing this via self serve checkouts.

      • Wootwootwoot on 23/02/2017 - 13:14

        Nope. The cost of QF points in this case is the opportunity cost (the $10 rebate you would otherwise get from Woolworth) hence you are essentially paying $10 for 870 QF points (1.14 cents). Not ideal but okay if you redeem for business flights

        • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2017 - 21:41

          Did you reply to wrong comment here?

          But yes, you're correct, Qantas points aren't ideal. The cost of flights (in points) is usually fixed though, so on good days some flights are around 1.2-1.3 cents a point worth, but Qantas seems to target things around the 0.8-0.9 mark. That being said, the $10 Woolworths Money is only worth $9.45 as is.. So it's $9.45 for ~$7-8 usually, or more on some days.

      • mataeka on 23/02/2017 - 16:18

        or ~$1.05 if you buy off potm at 7% off ;) then get the $10 back on top of that

      Just buy woolworths vouchers, that's 95$ for a $100 voucher, without the hassles

      • Bot456 on 20/02/2017 - 22:37
        +1

        But that can only be used at Woolies and participating stores. This one can be used at more places than those.

        • UltimateAI on 21/02/2017 - 07:40

          The card can, but the $4 you save is only worth something if you shop at woolworths. You also can't convert straight to ff points, only when you hit the target.

          Enjoy the deal, I didn't neg it, just not deal worthy of this great site. If you save $4 then great, less money in the corporate pockets.

          if you use these as temp cards,/gifts then the deal is worth it.

          @SmithInOz:

          I disagree - previously I thought the same as you but I've since had it explained the benefits - you buy the gift card with an e-card you buy at say 7% off (potm currently sells them for that) that's a free $7 in $100. Then buy your gift card at $105.95 - That's brought your prior profit to $1.05 - but then you get the $10 to spend on woolies (who in Brisbane at least have a fair few Aldi price comparable staples that I use) so then you've got $11.05 profit. It's a run around - but approximately 10% off your shops at basically an unlimited amount of shops - yeah. I'll take it.

    I got one from Coles and found out it is designed to work online ONLY.
    Even in supermarket, because it doesn't have a chip, it has to be swapped and put in a PIN.
    BUT THERE IS NO PIN.

    I end up use it to buy egift card through cashrewards.

          how so?

    • Love a bargain on 20/02/2017 - 17:46

      Really? Thought it can be used anywhere where VISA is accepted.

      Anyone has similar experience?

      PS. I once had an Auspost gift card that didn't come with a PIN. (That's when signing for card purchases were only just phased out so I thought I might have had an old card cos the instruction say to sign when making in-store purchases.) I couldn't use it at Ikea but a supermarket (pretty sure it's Coles) accepted it without a PIN.

    • doweyy on 20/02/2017 - 17:54

      You can use them in store, use "credit" and sign like the olden days before paypass. Found here

    • citygal on 20/02/2017 - 19:19
      +5

      No. You can use it in Coles or anywhere in storr that accepts Visa. Just swipe the card and press credit in check out. No pin required. I tried it many times.

    • iSamurai on 20/02/2017 - 19:49

      It says you need to press credit so you don't need a pin?

      • citygal on 21/02/2017 - 00:03

        Yes Miss B is right. When you press credit and the machine asks for a pin, you just press OK and it's done. You mah need to sign tho.

    • Miss B on 20/02/2017 - 20:10

      If it asks for a PIN you should be able to just press ok and it should ask for a signature instead.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2017 - 07:58

      Coles, Bunnings, & some other independent retailer did not require a PIN. Otherwise you just sign the purchase receipt old school style. If it did not work for you, you might've selected "savings", instead of "credit".

    • mataeka on 23/02/2017 - 16:28

      terms and conditions included on the leaflet inside say it's designed to be used in a face to face transaction where you hit credit and then sign for the transaction.

        Why not buy an eGift Card from Cashrewards, then use the eGift Card to buy this, and then this to buy another eGift Card from Cashrewards?

        Or rather.. just use this to pay for anything else.. it's versatile.

        It's a gooddealmate, I tell you.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 17:46

          If you do it 9 times in a loop, you'd gain $100 extra ($5 from CR and ~$6 from WW). If they give points for 10 cards though

        How many did you buy in one transaction? I would like to buy in bulk like I did on this previous eftpos card deal at WW. But that card did not need staff activation, so did not have to risk prevention of payment with egift cards by staff (even at self checkout).

      Combine with other offers. Posted a possible method below that results in (possibly) $20 Woolworths money for $1.34, or at least $10 for $0.65.. If it works.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 18:34

    1. Spend $100.65 on eGiftcard ($105.95 value)
    2. Buy this for $105.95
    3. Buy eGiftcard with $100 visa for -5% ($105.26 value)
    4. Buy another visa with eGiftcard +$0.70 ($0.69 on card)

    $20 Woolworths money for $1.34?
    Repeat x10?

    Unsure why this is getting negged, I understand it's technically against ToS but it's never stopped anyone before? Multiple people said they tried (and succeeded) in doing similar things on past deals.

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 20/02/2017 - 18:59

      Your theory per card is corret but its 2000WW points which is equal to $10WW not $20 that you are claiming in your post ;)

  • citygal on 20/02/2017 - 19:13

    I'm just wondering if it's 2000 points per customer or 2000 points earned per card purchased? Otherwise we may earn 2000 points only when we purchase 10 cards

    • nightelves on 20/02/2017 - 19:36

      Woolies is not stupid to make us buy $1000 worth of giftcard for a measly $10 off. If they are then they've lost my business.

    • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 20/02/2017 - 19:47
      +9

      If you pay with a wish giftcard bought with 5%, $100 visa GC will cost you 105.9*0.95=100.65 and $10 in the points. So you will get $100 for $90.65, or 9.35% discount. As well you'll can expand your discount world by using them in places other than Woolworths.

      • kid-vhee on 21/02/2017 - 04:24

        You shouldnt deduct the $10 "savings" from the $100.65, cause its in the form of Woolworth credits. If it was cashback, it's them giving away free money.

          For people who shop in Woolies it is pretty much money, I believe.
          Actually I was wrong, considering the fact I used wish giftcards bought with 5% discount , the real value of those 2000 points is $9.50 (or even $9.40, considering Coles CC points).

    I know you cannot use gift cards normally to purchase another gift card, the system doesn't allow it from past experience.

    • darthsparrow on 20/02/2017 - 19:54

      Beware, if I remember correctly, this particular VISA card takes 24 hours or so to be activated. There's a warning message on the packaging stating that if you try using it in less than 24 hours after purchasing, you risk voiding the card.

      I don't know why they are allowed to run away with this when we are 3 years away from year 2020.

      • nightelves on 20/02/2017 - 19:59

        Yeah I saw that also. The cashier said that once they scanned it that it should be activated. This is the only Visa card that has that warning. Didn't think that was legal.

    • citygal on 20/02/2017 - 21:36

      Not really- because the value of the gift card is only $100 which is less than the amount required to purchase the egift card on cashrewards especially with the $5.95 admin fee. You won't have enough fund to pay in full.
