Take two. Full credit to @kelasen for the heads up.

Deal taken from the weekly catalogue starting 15 September.

Please note the following:

This deal requires an Everyday Rewards account. If you do not have an Everyday Rewards account, use this link to get 1,500 bonus points as a sign-up bonus. The sign-up bonus points can take up to 30 business days to be credited to your account.
The variable value Apple gift card (where you can load between $20 and $500) is part of this deal. You will earn 30x bonus points for every whole dollar you load onto that gift card.
Although the catalogue states the limit is 10 per transaction, some store managers have set their own limits on gift card sales (e.g. $500 per transaction, $1000 per day). You may need to split your purchases over multiple transactions or multiple days.
If you are planning to purchase $1000 or more in gift cards, your best bet is to go to a serviced checkout, not a self-service checkout. Large-scale purchases require additional approval steps, and it is easier if that is done at a serviced checkout with a dedicated checkout operator.
The older blue-coloured App Store & iTunes gift cards are not part of this deal.

Terms and conditions

Offer available from 15/9/21 to 21/9/21 on all denominations of Apple Gift Cards (excluding $20 Apple Gift Cards) in Woolworths supermarkets, Woolworths Metro and Woolworths MetroGo only, while stocks last.

Excludes Woolworths Online and Ampol Woolworths Metro.

Standard points will not be earned on amount spent on gift cards, but the relevant number of bonus points which you qualify for under this offer.

Bonus points can take up to 14 business days to be loaded onto your Everyday Rewards card from date of purchase.

Refer to individual cards for their terms and conditions.

$30 = 900 rewards points

$50 = 1500 rewards points

$100 = 3000 rewards points

$200 = 6000 rewards points

Limit of 10 per transaction applies.

Additional Information

Everyday Rewards Dollars

2000 Everyday Rewards points is equivalent to $10 Everyday Rewards Dollars (redeemable at Woolworths, BIG W, BWS across Australia or Caltex Woolworths / EG Australia in mainland Australia) or 1000 Qantas points.
Everyday Rewards points can only be converted to Everyday Rewards Dollars or Qantas points in multiples of 2000.
Everyday Rewards Dollars cannot be used for any gift card purchases at Woolworths unless the bonus points you earn from the gift card purchase will push your Everyday Rewards Dollars balance above the $4500 limit.

Earning Everyday Rewards Points

Any purchase of any gift cards at Woolworths (or BIG W) will not earn any standard Everyday Rewards points.
Any purchase of any gift cards in this deal at Woolworths almost always do not count towards any other bonus Everyday Rewards points promotions (e.g. spend $x in one transaction to earn y points). However, a number of people reported in the previous Apple gift card deal that the purchase of Apple gift cards counted towards targeted/personalised Everyday Rewards points promotions. It is likely Woolworths has closed this loophole, so it is best to assume Apple gift cards no longer count.
If you are purchasing this gift card at a self-service checkout, you should be able to see the number of Everyday Rewards points you will earn as part of this transaction in the top right-hand corner of the payment screen.
You will only earn bonus points on every whole dollar loaded onto a gift card. For example, if you specify $50.50 as the amount to be loaded onto the variable value gift card, you will only earn 500 bonus points, not 505 bonus points.

Paying for Gift Cards

Woolworths’ POS system allows split payments for gift card purchases at self-service checkouts and serviced checkouts.
Gift cards issued by Woolworths Group Ltd¹ cannot be used as payment for any gift cards at Woolworths (or BIG W). Attempting to redeem them on gift card purchases will be blocked by the POS system and return an error.
Prepaid VISA/Mastercard/EFTPOS gift cards (e.g. Coles Gift Mastercards, EFTPOS gift cards from this deal²) can be used to purchase Apple gift cards at Woolworths.
Make sure to check the small activation receipt that the checkout prints after a gift card purchase. If it says successful at the bottom of the receipt, the gift card was correctly activated. If it does not say successful, alert the service desk of the failed activation and they will sort it out. This receipt will be printed out even if you have turned off paper receipts for your Everyday Rewards account.

Odds and Ends

Gift card purchases at Woolworths will earn 4c/L (or 6c/L in Tasmania) fuel vouchers.
Gift card purchases do not count towards the spend requirement for the current Woolworths Brick promotion.

Using Apple Gift Cards

You can redeem up to 8 gift cards (in conjunction with an Apple Account Balance and/or a credit/debit card) online or over the phone at Apple.
You can redeem up to 8 gift cards (in conjunction with a credit/debit card) in-person at an Apple Store.
You cannot redeem an Apple Account Balance in-person at an Apple Store.
You can load multiple Apple gift cards to an Apple Account Balance, but the maximum balance is $4999.
Apple gift cards have no expiry date.

If you have a gift card where you can check the balance here, it was issued by Woolworths Group Limited. ↩
Another user confirmed that EFTPOS gift card can be used as a payment method for Apple gift cards at Woolworths. ↩

btw the apple store online was so rubbish tho at 10pm. Many people including myself had to use the phone app to complete the pre-order. Thanks for all you guys suggesting to preload the gift card balance early. I was being careful to tap taking the Apple ID balance a few times at the payment checkout part to ensure my payment was not made via the credit card.

The Apple ID balance still showing $2020 after the order confirmation email. Took a good few hours now showing my Apple ID account is now got $1 left lol
- Bodogbodog on 18/09/2021 - 07:40
  
  My Apple ID balance is still unchanged this morning even though I got a confirmed purchase of a iPhone 13 Pro Max last night. I think it will just take a while for systems to sync and update

    Same. Because of problems with apple site I ended up submitting two orders but only have enough balance for one! So not sure what will happen. Hope they don’t cancel both!
- Bargain666 on 18/09/2021 - 20:53
  
  For the standards of Apple, site is way too rubbish and not a user friendly one for purchase … no proper timing, no proper navigation , screens getting stuck, then no proper deduction of balance, makes customers wonder what's happening and makes scary some times :P

No one knew when cards would be restocked. It seems like all the stock they had was on the shelf.

hey guys I just bought $2,000 (4 x $500 giftcards from woolworths rouse hill)

I logged in on the everyday rewards app / website, and its showing the $300 credit, but it says I only get $10 off my next shop, can I not use the $300 all in one go? (or part there of, say $100?)
- theriffic on 18/09/2021 - 14:24
  
  Yeah wondering about this too.
- dreamykitten on 18/09/2021 - 14:47
  
  I'm pretty sure you can, if your shopping is more than $300. For example if it's $78, it will let you use $70. It's in $10 increments. I never tried $300 so not sure about redeeming limits if there's any in one shopping but mine was like $36 and I was able to redeem $30.

michael13 on 18/09/2021 - 14:55
So guys whats the best way to do this now that I have the gift cards, I want to buy an iphone 13 pro,

is this possible?

Make a brand new apple account

Load all the giftcards onto it ($2000 worth)

Attach my creditcard to the account

Do I then select the giftcard dollars as payment (and anything extra that comes in over $2,000 will be deducted from my creditcard) is this how it works?
- ModBot on 18/09/2021 - 15:19
  
  Follow this link to add the credit. Once added, go into the Apple store and log in using the same id and purchase.
- Bodogbodog on 18/09/2021 - 16:23
  
  Yes - assuming you don’t have an existing Apple ID you want to use

Ok, so here is what I did, might be helpful in case someone has any questions.

I went to the Woolies Balmain store, purchased 16x$100, 1x$500 totaling $2100 (10x100$ via self serve, 5x$100,1x$100, 1x$500 via the counter - different people serving me). All in one single visit. Points appeared straight away on my rewards card.

Added all the gift cards onto my Apple store account.

Made a purchase using the credit and order the phone on store pickup.

Purchased apple care upfront with the phone itself - all of this was also paid via the gift cards.

EDIT: Woolies Balmain had quite a few $100 in stock, however, I picked the last variable gift card.

So easy! End up saving on a new iPhone plus 350$ in credit to shop at Woolworths! Although Coles bakery is miles ahead of Woolworths :(

For those wondering, I just 5 transactions of 4x500 1x369. Had to go through 5 times as there was a 500 cash limit per transaction.

A couple of woolies in my radius have run out of stock for the $200 gift cards. But had plenty of $50 cards. Can I still use them to buy the iPhone? As in load 20-40 cards on to the account and then redeem at the time of purchase?

Woolies Dural has plenty of variable and >$20 gift cards as of 9AM yesterday. This is after trying North Kellyville which completely ran out. Got 4x $500 and 1x $300 all in variable cards. Store manager was nice enough to allow all 5 gift cards purchased under a single transaction (policy is max $1k per transaction and was originally told I need to come back) and paid with my Qantas FF-linked credit card credit card. Loaded $1.8k into the Apple Store account and used it to pre-order /paid for the iPhone 13 in the afternoon without much dramas at all. Thanks OP and those in WP for this awesome tip! Missus was pleased that she now has extra $350 to spend in her Everyday Rewards dollars!

  I’ve been doing my best to clean that Dural store out personally 😂 - $6000 purchased in the last few days. No issues with manager limits and staff were happy to sell them. When I bought 10x $500 vouchers they just split the transactions up to a max $2000 and did multiple transactions. I noticed their stocks were a lot lower yesterday afternoon but as you say plenty of cards still available including a few $20-$500 cards
  I’m seriously thinking of buying a few more for gifts and in readiness for another session at the Apple Store - it’s a dream deal

    Update: Apparently when purchasing from gift cards balance is not taken out of it straight away, So purchased iPad on Friday and that card had $31 credit left out of $50 value. but when I applied the same card on iPhone that card was charged $50 instead of $39, Had to find a card which I used last in checkout that had some credit left which person on phone couldn't apply himself so they logged a ticket with credit team to fix it.

So anyone need can try seven hills and blacktown

As a thank you for the community, here’s my update for Sydney city and lower north shore.

City York Street metro has a few $100 and maybe 20 x $50 left. The lady who served me was fully aware of the promotion, explained their store has a limit of $200 per transaction so did 5 for me for $1000! Lovely person!

Kirribilli has plenty of stock, I took 3 variable ones to the counter but was told I can only do 2 x $500.

Went to neutral bay after to get another 2 x $100. No variable ones there but plenty of other denominations.
- duckmcfadden on 21/09/2021 - 15:37
  
  Thanks so much for this - Kirribilli is out of eligible ones now (only $20) but Neutral Bay Village had plenty left - saved me checking all the other ones in my area!

Noob question - I have never bought an apple gift card but regularly buy iTunes to pay for sub's etc. I have approx $300 in iTunes atm and it allows me to use the balance to buy an iPhone. I'm wondering if I wait for the 15% Itunes Sale (whenever there is one next) - I should be able to load up and buy the phone then, considering the gift cards are getting harder to find - would this be right or i'm missing something?
- WookieMonster on 19/09/2021 - 20:54
  
  +5
  
  I don't think you should be waiting for any more iTunes gift card sales.
  
  The only gift card Apple currently sells in Australia is the Apple gift card in this deal. These gift cards were introduced in Australia on 09 July 2021 to replace the Apple Store gift card and the App Store & iTunes gift card.
  
  You still may see some retailers in your area (even on Pluto!) still sell App Store & iTunes gift cards, but Apple has been gradually withdrawing them since the new Apple gift cards were introduced in Australia. The withdrawal was so slow that when the first Apple/Woolworths deal was introduced, some Woolworths stores still stocked them!
  
  The changes to Apple's gift card offering in Australia also explains why you can now use your (previously) iTunes balance towards an iPhone; this is no longer call an iTunes balance, but rather an Apple Account Balance. This balance can now be topped up with Apple gift cards in this deal, or the older App Store & iTunes gift cards and Apple Store gift cards if you have them lying around.
  
  Also keep in mind that the last 15% off iTunes gift card deal was back in May 2021, so combine that with the fact that Apple no longer sells them, is gradually having them withdrawn from retailers and not even including them as part of this deal means you should not expect any more 15% off iTunes gift card deals in the future.

A tad annoyed at my local Woolies - they apparently have said they no longer sell variable gift cards due to scams and said initially there was a $300 limit on what I could buy….this somehow went up to $500. I had managed to get some $50 cards. This is the same store which allowed me to buy variable cards when the last promo was on and there was no max $500 limit as well.

Whilst I was being served, a "manager" turned up and said it was policy that they could not sell me more than $500…I said which policy - the store or Woolies - she said Woolies and that it should be applied everywhere. I said that this was not the case as I am aware (and have been able to) purchase more than $500 in Apple cards from this store. I did say that I understood there is a concern re scams and I am not buying them for anyone but myself as I want to get an Apple product. She was adamant that that was the policy and was not going to budge. I was trying to limit my time at the store so just got the ones I had and left.

Whilst I understand the concern re scams and maybe there may be it happening more at this store, if a customer wants to buy the cards - up to the max 10 cards and is clear in that they understand that the issue with the scams, then they should not stand in the way…as i said to the lady, what is to stop me from coming back again later to buy another 10 cards and she had no answer for me…so I am not sure what she was hoping to achieve..to stop me now but she could not stop me from coming back at a later time or heading to another store to get more…fortunately i had enough cards anyway so did not need to go back to get more (not that they had many $50 ones left) or head to another store but if I did not, I would have had to do so.
- savingmoney on 20/09/2021 - 15:05
  
  I had the same issue in one of the stores in the ACT (Weston). I first tried to pay via the counter but then they didn't let me buy more than $500. I then returned to the store a few minutes later and did a self-checkout, a different person/manager came up to me warned me against scams and that the gift cards are non-refundable etc. They did let me but $1.5k though after I said that I understand the concern and reassured them I am not being scammed.
Applause on 19/09/2021 - 21:37

I am sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it.

Has anyone tried using Woolworths dollars to buy the Apple Gifts Cards? Given that they aren't classed as gift cards for bonus points (say extra 2000 point when spending $50+) maybe they are not classed as gift cards when buying them with Woolworths dollars.

  Short answer: it is not possible, except for a very specific scenario.
  
  Not-so-short answer: …
  
  The only known way to use your Everyday Rewards dollars to buy Apple gift cards is if the points you earn from buying Apple gift cards as part of this deal will push your Everyday Rewards balance over the $4,500 limit (which is equivalent to 900,000 points, i.e. the points you earn for purchasing $30,000 worth of Apple gift cards as part of this deal!).
  
  If someone was able to find another way to use Everyday Rewards dollars to buy Apple gift cards, they probably would have posted it on here by now. Woolworths Group has done a good job locking down their POS system to stop people using (discounted) WISH/Woolworths gift cards or Everyday Rewards dollars.
  
  The only way you will have a new way of using Everyday Rewards dollars to pay for (Apple) gift cards at Woolworths is when Woolworths Group makes changes to their POS systems. For example, Woolworths changed their POS system setup last year to allow you to use multiple lots of $10 in a single transaction, but that meant that (for a while at least) the Everyday Rewards payment option accidentally appeared when purchasing a mobile phone SIM pack (but that has been patched now).
  
  Maybe there could be loopholes with the new Everyday Pay payment method currently being trialled in a handful of Woolworths stores, but my guess is that Woolworths Group will iron out any loopholes before that payment method rolls out nationally.
  
  This next bit is really digging deep into speculation territory, because I don’t work for Woolworths Group (or Coles, or any retailer for that matter) and have never done so, so I don’t know how POS systems or loyalty schemes are programmed, but I’ll give it a shot…
  
  My guess is that the reason for the POS system recognising Apple gift cards as a gift card (and therefore a product not eligible to be paid for with Everyday Rewards) and the Everyday Rewards bonus points boosters not recognising the Apple gift cards as gift cards is that the POS system determines whether or not you are buying a gift card, and then the Everyday Rewards system tries to separately determine whether the items you were bought were gift cards when determining the number of points to allocate to your Everyday Rewards account. However, they probably have different ways of determining whether a product is excluded, and I’ve previously speculated that the Everyday Rewards system determines when to apply or not apply bonus points boosters based on a blacklist of PLU numbers.
  
  That’s my two cents, anyway.

    as soon as you hit 2000 points the app converts them into $$ for you to redeem, any left over balance shos in your points balance. So for example you bought $1700 worth of Gift card = 51,000 = this will show $250 to redeem and 1000 as reward points

In case if helpful to anyone, no variable at the ponds Woolies, tried Schofields, bought 5 variable.
They had quite a few variable ones in stock (two full stacks so assuming 40+ (30 mins ago))

  Thanks. They still have 40+ variable value plus as many $100 and $50 still left.

weird thing happened. it was friday night when i pre-order via apple store app. only 4 gift cards allowed - i had 6 gc, i then had to load it onto my account and use 2 gc + account id + Credit card to pay. I wonder why i was only allowed to 4 rather than 8 ?GC.

Tomorrow being the last day, will try my luck at my local Woolies. The ad kind of shows only $50 $100 and $200 however I can see people buying the $500 and getting the points.

Also checked that Apple online store has a limit of 8 gift cards per transaction.

Should have seen this post earlier. Well Ill see if I'm lucky enough.

  I wish you luck! I have only found $20 gift cards in my local Woolworths stores, so hopefully you have more than luck than me!

  Woolworths has a habit of stating that the only gift cards mentioned/pictured in the catalogue are part of the deal, but the POS system and posters in the store says otherwise. They did that a couple of weeks ago with the Perfect EFTPOS gift card, where the catalogue stated that the $50 Perfect EFTPOS gift card was the only gift card that week that would earn any bonus points. However, when I went to my local Woolworths, they had a giant poster stating that you could get 10x points for every dollar loaded onto the variable value ($25-$500) gift card.
  
  If it is any reassurance, my local Woolworths store currently has a poster up with a picture of the variable value ($20-$500) gift card stating you can get 30x bonus points for each dollar you load onto it.

My local has stacks of the old style App Store gift cards (blue ones), will these automatically convert to the apple account balance?
- WookieMonster on 20/09/2021 - 18:43
  
  Yes
  - paul_5666 on 20/09/2021 - 19:38
    
    You’re right, they do add to apple balance but no bonus points it seems.. error or correct?
    - WookieMonster on 20/09/2021 - 20:06
      
      Correct.
      
      The Apple gift card is not the same as the App Store & iTunes gift card.
      
      The only gift card from Apple that is part of this deal is the Apple gift card. The App Store & iTunes gift card is not part of this deal, which was confirmed the hard way by someone else in the first Apple/Woolworths deal (and which is why I edited the deal description part-way through the promotion to explicitly state that the App Store & iTunes gift cards were excluded).
      
      Although both types of gift cards can both be used to purchase both contents and products from Apple, Woolworths’ POS system classifies them as different gift cards, so you will only get 30x bonus points on the Apple gift cards.
      
      I’m actually a little surprised some Woolworths stores are still selling App Store & iTunes gift cards. Apple discontinued them on 09 July 2021, so I am surprised the gift card distributor in your area has not already pulled them off the shelves of Woolworths stores.

Any stores in and around Melbourne CBD having Apple gift cards? I went around a couple of stores in Southbank and couldn't find any.

    Not in WW Scoresby, not in the Glen.

Can I buy more apple gift cards with bank for Christmas?
I currently have $360 so if I can buy more card later during Christmas that would be amazing
- WookieMonster on 20/09/2021 - 23:20
  
  +1
  
  No.
  
  Bank for Christmas is the same as Money Off Shopping, except you can only redeem that $360 in your Everyday Rewards balance between December 1 and December 31.
  
  As mentioned in the deal post, you cannot use your Everyday Rewards balance to buy any gift cards (including Apple) unless the bonus points you earn from those gift cards will push your Everyday Rewards balance above the $4,500 limit set by Woolworths Group. This weird outlier only applies when there is a bonus points promotion on gift cards, as gift cards normally don’t earn any Everyday Rewards points.
  
  The full list of items you cannot buy with an Everyday Rewards balance (putting aside the weird outlier I just mentioned) is as follows:
  
  all smoking products
  
  gift cards (including Woolworths WISH Gift Cards, e-gift cards and iTunes)
  
  mobile recharge
  
  Woolworths Mobile
  
  travel cards
  
  tickets
  
  cash outs
  
  delivery charges
  
  donations
  
  lottery products
  
  Carpet Care
  
  Pre-Order Kiosks
  
  BIG W Photos
  
  BIG W eBay
  
  lay-by-fees, and
  
  purchases using a StarCard or AmpolCard, a Country Age Pension Fuel Card or on a charge account.

Schofields in Sydney still have 40+ variable value plus as many $100 and $50 still left. No stock in most Sydney stores.

      Fair, the wording can be rather ambiguous.
      
      I have not seen stock at my local stores (except for the pesky $20 gift cards), so hopefully you have more luck than me.

My lucky day I guess…got 4 variable cards and loaded them up. Just need to order a 13 pro now.

    there were a lot of $200 cards still left. The variable cards, probably a couple more.

Thanks op. Got some $50 giftcards from Top Ryde and Macquarie Park a day ago. Now gotta figure out what to buy with $4,000 and what to do with 80 apple stickers…

I managed to grab five of the variable cards on my lunch break today at the Buranda, QLD store. They probably had another five of them plus heaps of the $50 and $100 cards.

I was surprised that my husband’s 5% team discount worked too. Normally doesn’t on gift cards.
- WookieMonster on 21/09/2021 - 15:23
  
  I thought the team discount could be applied on gift card purchases at Woolworths, except gift cards issued by Woolworths Group (e.g. Woolworths, WISH, BIG W).
  - shinkenred on 21/09/2021 - 15:30
    
    Looks like it. Although I could have sworn the Apple cards I bought during their last 30x point offer didn’t get the team discount.
    - WookieMonster on 21/09/2021 - 15:40
      
      I’m glad you saved some money this time around!
