Hey guys, do people know how woolworths coupons / vouchers expiry work? I got some back as a refund from an order i had put through. If it says the expiry date, does that mean that is the last day i can use it, or i need to use it before that date? as in the day before is the last day?

You can place a dummy order and cancel it later to "renew" the credits, which may involve more value on an eGC and/or $EDR into it.
If it is more than $5, it is possible to convert it into a Wish eGC (but it takes a while to connect and chat with a CS Rep).
They return it as woolies credit because they make money when some people forget about it. Demand it as a cash refund next time otherwise you'll report them.
I would call and demand it as a cash refund unless it's a bonus credit
OP got store credits coz he used an eGC(s) / $EDR / store credits or a combination of these as payment. Otherwise, the refund would have been back to the original payment method that may be PP, CC, etc.
Yeah I hate how they give it back as a credit with a expiry instead of a gift card with no expiry.
My last out of stock credit has an expiry of 2025, if I’ve not spent it by them guaranteed I’ve lost it
That is an incredibly long expiry date … the vouchers they issued me only last 1 year.
Had a look through some old ones
March and earlier were 12 months, April to June all have 3 years.Why not use it in the recent orders? Last time I used it allowed more than one code. Ignore the minimum spend as it did not apply at all.

Is that right? :) Good to know. Thanks.
@bluesky: It could have been changed with the 3 year expiry. I converted ($EDR) to Wish eGCs last a few times after the whole order canceled on purpose.
@Neoika: This is a good idea - especially after all the accounts of people's EDR$ being stolen. The only thing - since the minimum online buy is $50, I will have to put in more money to do this, if I have less than EDR$50. I might still try this if my EDR$ starts to accumulate.
Also, do you know if the conversion from voucher to Wish eGC is a goodwill gesture or something they usually do? Have they ever said no, or put up resistance to do so? Thanks.
@Neoika: I was not thinking when writing the above comment … I can use an eGift card to pad up the $50, and then get back a bigger eGift card :)
Good to hear that they have extended the validity period of vouchers. Such a pity they can only be used for online orders.
Just use it the day before.
