    Apple now phishing peoples shopping habits, buying it off us for an equivalent of $2.50 worth of points šŸ˜’

    I'm guessing it's their strategy before Amazon hits the Aussie market, still can't figure out how they are going to compete with them other than they have some vested interest in internet marketing or they have a new partnership with Woolworths to research shopping habits . Possibly Amazon will be opening whole foods in Australian my guess is as they own the supermarket chain in USA and Canada

    www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/amazon-whole-foods-customers-walmarā€¦

    https://thewest.com.au/business/mergers-and-acquisitions/colā€¦

    Possible Coles and google next with 500 flybuy points when you add your card to google or Samsung pay ?

    • aeon on 10/10/2017 - 10:25

      What habits do you think they're phishing? Apple Wallet just displays the card as an electronic barcode that the checkout machine will scan, much like it does your physical card… your shopping contents aren't going to be sent to Apple via this process. All Apple could know is that you have an every day rewards card and how often it is scanned.

      Edit: actually looks like it's using NFC rather than a barcode.

      • easternculture on 10/10/2017 - 10:29
        -5

        The card scans and stores your purchases from all Woolworths group store fronts

        I'm guessing Woolworths are giving them access to all this information as part of the partnership

        • aeon on 10/10/2017 - 10:32
          +2

          Do you have any detail on that? I know the card does store that - but I can't see anywhere that suggests Woolworths will be passing on those details to Apple. Your total points are displayed, but that could just be a connection to Woolworths services electronically to display the points.

        • aeon on 10/10/2017 - 10:50

          @easternculture:

          Yes that's the announcement, but it doesn't mention anything about whether Apple will be getting any shopping details. Yes, it is possible, however it is also possible they are not collecting the shopping details, and simply presenting an electronic version of the card, and the only data Apple could get is the Card Number, and the Points balance.

          Happy to be proven otherwise.

          @aeon: Coles already track customers in store using the flybuys app/bluetooth/stocard login. This is similar.

          Check your app permissions, and always read the T&Cs

          https://www.cio.com/article/2383681/retail/5-ways-to-track-iā€¦

          (4) is relevant for Coles

        • aeon on 10/10/2017 - 11:24

          @BadMotivator:

          No it is not. If you have the Stocard app installed with the Coles flybuys app added to it. Stocard does not receive the details of your purchase. It just is digital representation of your card - the purchase is tracked only on the coles side of things, they do not send anything to your phone.

          Similar to if you took a photo of your library barcode on your phone - the library knows which books you've borrowed out, but your phone does not. It is just the medium for which the card is produced.

        • Choc83 on 10/10/2017 - 11:27

          @aeon:

          Next time you're in a new coles, look for the bluetooth sensors :)

        • aeon on 10/10/2017 - 11:33
          +2

          @BadMotivator:

          Sure, from your link:

          Then it encourages customers to download a Swirl app and agree to transmit their location (from a range of up to 300 feet). The customer receives discounts, while the retailer knows exactly where shoppers go in the store.

          This requires the Swirl app, and I'm sure that Swirl will specifically have an agreement with the retailer to share location information and purchases. This is specified in their terms and conditions.

          The original poster is suggesting that Apple is doing this as well… it is technically possible yes, but there is no detail to suggest that they are.

          In fact on the Apple Pay website, they specifically have the following:
          https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203027

          Apple Pay doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you. Payment transactions are between you, the merchant (or developer for payments made within apps and on the web), and your bank.

          @easternculture:

          Yup, it looks awesome, though they've only managed to do it in beta so far… here's hoping they actually work out the kinks to make it work well! (needless to say, that still doesn't mean Apple is phishing your details).

          @aeon:

          They need a technology and software (like NFC antenna etc) and apple can provide it amongst other technologies they offer

          My best guess is that corporations are looking for ways to compete with Amazon as it's a big threat not only to online but to B&M stores

        • Choc83 on 10/10/2017 - 11:40

          @aeon: Probably not Stocard, but having it built into the flybuys app by the vendor isn't a stretch

          +2

          @aeon: I agree with Aeon. @easternculture is just speculating and spreading baseless FUD. The odds are against Apple collecting your shopping information because they are marketing hard on their supposed 'privacy' advantage over the likes of Google, Facebook. So if it came out that they were collecting their users' shoppers data secretly or otherwise - it would look pretty hypocritical.

  • DooDah on 10/10/2017 - 09:54

    Oops! Got a bit excited and added too early for the 500 points. Oh well, having it on my phone now means I'll actually use the card and earn the points (card is sitting in a drawer somewhere).

      • shaybisc on 10/10/2017 - 15:51

        Minus $2.50 for wasting time converting points into money- deliberate lack of clarity by corporation- must be in the marketing for mugs textbook.

  • ctrlaltdel on 10/10/2017 - 10:14

    what happens if i have apple pay enable as well, which one does it scan? my debit card or my rewards card?

    • okwombat on 10/10/2017 - 11:10

      It may use location to check whether you're at a Woolies, then assumes you want to use the rewards card first. It shouldn't let you use either one by accident, as you can only swipe the rewards card before you make your debit card payment.

      Update: turns out there is an automatic selection option. The phone understands which card the POS machine is requesting.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Everyday Rewards on 10/10/2017 - 15:15
      +1

      From internal comms: as soon as the first item is scanned (or the start button on self checkout has been pressed), then you can hold the phone to the PIN Pad for rewards. You won't be able to pay until a payment method has been selected, at which point scanning rewards card will no longer be possible as before.

      • natslovR on 10/10/2017 - 15:51

        Thanks, that's good to hear. I was wondering how it would work at the checkout since they don't have the customer-side scanner for rewards cards like Coles do for flybuys cards.

      • muncan on 10/10/2017 - 18:14

        Can we swipe our phone against the PIN pad of other customersā€™ self serve checkouts as we walk past? And why didnā€™t I think of this ages ago?

    Added the rewards card successfully by browsing to that digital wallet link on the iPhone. No need of any SMS. After logging in on the phone, you can see a button saying 'Add card to wallet'. Tap on it and wait upto 30seconds before a window pops up with the card and then you follow further couple of instructions to finish the process.

    Had a bit of a play with it over multiple visits on my iPhone SE.

    Holding the phone against the EFTPOS device (before payment) will bring up the rewards card on the phone screen with the prompt "Touch ID to Apply".

    If you have multiple cards added you can swipe right to select another card before using Touch ID. The rewards card number is hidden by default but you can press "Show Code" to see it.

    Alternatively you can double tap the home button on the lock screen, select your card, use Touch ID and hold phone against EFTPOS device.
