Is Wowclub.org.au Legit?

Hi fellow bargain lovers,

I am looking to make a fairly large purchase at JB Hifi ($1579, you can make your own assumptions there) and am looking at the cheapest ways to buy JB gift cards. I came across wowclub.org.au and it seems to be a rewards club for Woolworths Group employees. It let me sign up without a member number and has JB gift cards at a fairly large discount (10% compared to 6% elsewhere).

I'm looking for anyone that works (or worked) for WW and can shed some light on the legitimacy.

Thanks very much!
