I purchased couple of $25-$500 OnlyONE Home Improvement Visa Cards @ Woolworths (The Hills area NSW) today.
I was expecting to collect 10x Rewards Pts, however they ended up has no points but 10% discount on purchasing.
e.g. two $500 gift cards, and paid $900. No point showed on the terminal after scanning my Reward card.

This is 10% off, compare to 10x Pts, and even 20x Pts collection is a better deal.
I used one card in Bunnings this morning in store.

Previously I used this type of card online in Bunnings website, all went well.

Previous post suggested this Visa card could be used on eBay on purchasing electronics.

The banner on store shelf showed collecting 10x pts, same as the URL link of this week's wooly catalogue.

        Bought a target $50 gift card at 2% SB, worked as well.

        • georgedn on 08/09/2022 - 11:55

          This worked until a couple of days ago. They seemed to have shut down this option.

    Confirmed working on $2k worth of Home Improvement cards this morning at Coffs Harbour, NSW - approx 0845hrs.

    FWIW this is a REALLY great deal - no activation fee and it's nearly impossible to get discounts on Bunnings gift cards etc. Well worth buying quite a few - though bear in mind with inflation running at 7%, holding for several years will likely offset any 'discount'.

    ALSO DYOR on whether your CC provider would consider this transaction a 'cash advance' - I've been stung by this before - and gotten a big interest charge from it.

    • bauser99 on 05/08/2022 - 10:10

      Not sure how this could be seen as cash advance by the CC provider. Transaction comes through under “Woolworths” and the CC provider cannot see what items have been purchased.

      • Daniel Plainview on 05/08/2022 - 10:14

        I don't pretend to know the in an outs of merchant facilities but as I stated DYOR - I've been hit for interest before - it went through as a cash advance.

        if you're not sure - do nothing - I gave the info and suggestion to TRY and assist others from having same thing happening to them and am going to advance the $2k payment onto my CC now to avoid possibility it could happen again.

        I do think it's UNLIKELY folks will get pinged for cash advance charges - it might have been a vendor error or other the one time it happened to me. I've just checked my Citibank CC account and is showing as "WOOLWORTHS 1180 COFFS HARBOUR AUS 1800.00" so no reference to cash advance. Like i said unlikely but happened once to me and could do with others, depends on your card provider and how they ring up at the sale transaction. :-)

    I wonder if the other category-restricted OnlyONE Visa gift cards (e.g. Night Out, Spa & Beauty, Fast Food) are also 10% off. I saw a poster in-store yesterday that showed that all category-restricted OnlyONE Visa gift cards are supposed to earn 10x Everyday Rewards points.

    I haven't tested it myself, because:

    • I have no need for any of the category-restricted OnlyONE Visa gift cards.

    • One time, I scanned an older Only1 Visa gift card, but the checkout wasn't allocating any Everyday Rewards points. I asked staff if they could get the newer OnlyONE Visa Green gift card, and they got cranky with me, because they said they could no longer sell the Only1 Visa gift card, as I removed the tab covering the barcode, and they cannot sell Only1 Visa gift cards if someone already removed the tab…

      Strange. I wanted to check that they were 10% off and they were more than happy to open and try it. The girl said it’s worthless without value so don’t worry about it. Luckily they were 10%. Funny how some staff have different ways of doing things.

    Alright guys, first of all thanks to OP for sharing this hack, but here is the method I have found best for getting any gift card with this deal.

    1. Buy desired amount of gift card from woolworths
    2. Go onto shop back and buy an Amazon gift card and receive an additional 2% cashback
    3. Load your Amazon gift card onto your account and use it to purchase a different gift card, many of the ultimate gift cards work with JB.

    Additional bonus, use hiver to claim 5% of your purchase back at woolworths.

    If you were to use this method as well as hiver, then you'd be able to get $1000 worth of gift cards for $837, discount of 16.3%

    • cycloneaussie on 05/08/2022 - 10:32

      You could also just buy the JB HiFi gift cards direct from ShopBack at 3% CB

      • nicholasv on 05/08/2022 - 10:39

        I haven't tried it as I didn't need anything from JB, but if you can then even better!

    • gadgetguy on 05/08/2022 - 10:38

      You can purchase gift cards/Ultimate gift cards on amazon?

    • ChillBro on 05/08/2022 - 12:39

      FYI it seems you can only buy 3 x amazon giftcards for each denomination every month meaning the max you can get is 3 x (100 + 50 + 30 + 10) = $570.

    Just checked ED Rewards account - no points at all given from transaction, which is very odd as technically the minimum WW gives is 1pt/$ spent instore - and this SHOULD under their terms of the promo be 10pts per $ spent.

    I'm going to allow this offer to lapse, so that folks can jump on it - and THEN ensure that I get the appropriate and advertised EDR points - that they sold them at a discount is their issue, not ours. So I'd encourage folks to hold off for a few days and THEn get your owed points as well.

    • WookieMonster on 05/08/2022 - 11:02

      You do not earn any Everyday Rewards points on purchases of any gift cards at Woolworths, BIG W, Dan Murphy's, BWS or EG, unless there is a specific promotion running (e.g. this offer, which is supposed to be for 10x bonus Everyday Rewards points).

      Everyday Rewards have previously told me that if you do not earn Everyday Rewards points at the checkout for gift cards on promotion, you'll never have them automatically allocated to you, even though the offer terms you'll need to wait 14 business days. If you contact them in a few days from now, you'll likely be told to wait the full 14 business days before they'll look into the issue.

      • Daniel Plainview on 05/08/2022 - 11:11
        +1

        Fair enough - regardless my point simply is - make sure you get the point eventually. It's a fair amount of value and is a separate thing from the card's value - which they can't retrospectively alter etc.

        But good info - thanks.

      • Daniel Plainview on 05/08/2022 - 11:20

        Hey @WookieMonster
        Seeing as you seem familiar with this - just curious you stated that you do NOT early EDR pts on gc's unless there was a promo? Citing this one as example - which is stated as 10x normal pts.

        But wouldn't that imply that normally you'd still earn 1pt /dollar on GCs - as 10x nothing is nothing. And EDR seems to state that it's a mimimum of 1EDR pt/ dollar spent.

        I don't buy a lot of GCs from them so just leveraging your expertise. :-)

        • WookieMonster on 05/08/2022 - 11:27
          +1

          Nope.

          There's a long list of items in the Everyday Rewards T&Cs that will not earn Everyday Rewards points, and it includes purchases of gift cards:

          This paragraph … applies to a purchase except to the extent that we advertise differently in the terms and conditions of a specific promotion.

          You will not collect Everyday Rewards points on any money you spend on smoking products, gift cards (including Woolworths WISH Gift Cards, e-gift cards and iTunes), Metro60, mobile recharge, Woolworths Mobile, travel cards, tickets, cash outs, delivery charges, donations, Carpet Care, lottery products, Pre-order Kiosks, BIG W Photos, BIG W eBay, lay-bys fees and purchases using a Country Age Pension Fuel Card, a charge account, or purchases on an ineligible AmpolCard account. Call Ampol Customer Service to check AmpolCard eligibility.

          My real-world experience is that you will not earn Everyday Rewards points on purchases of gift cards unless there is a specific promotion being run.

          Meanwhile, at Coles, you earn 1x standard Flybuys point per $1 you spend on third-party gift cards (i.e. gift cards not issued by Coles Group).

          • Daniel Plainview on 05/08/2022 - 12:00

            @WookieMonster: Ah see I knew you'd know the good info!

            Hmmm well that'll be interesting then as like I said if the promo is 10 x normal EDR pts and normal EDR pts is zero…..then it's a very odd promo. SO can only assume the promo is you actually get pts and you get 10 x the minimum rate, which I assume would be based on the transaction value e.g $100 gc - normally no EDR - but you get 100 and then 10x this so 1000.

            Would that seem inline with your expectations? Thanks again.

            EDIT: Ok these are the terms attached to the 10x EDR offer:

            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.

            So the way I construe that is that if you purchase on of these cards as part of your shop, the card itself gives you NO POINTS but it multiplies by 10x the EDR value of the rest of your shop?

            Haha why do they have to make it so obtuse, pity the OAPs trying to get to the bottom of what they're getting.

            • WookieMonster on 05/08/2022 - 12:25
              +2

              @Daniel Plainview: Nope.

              The terms you pulled out from the offer state that you will never earn standard Everyday Rewards points on the purchase of the DIY gift card, but you'll earn 10x bonus Everyday Rewards points for every $1 you spend on the DIY gift card during this promotion. (Well, you're supposed to.)

              • Daniel Plainview on 05/08/2022 - 12:41

                @WookieMonster: :-/ Ok I thought I was confused but now I'm really unsure.

                let me put it this way - as I do believe you know your stuff and I freely admit I don't like or follow EDR stuff.

                How many EDR points is your understanding that (as an example) a single 1 x $100 DIY gift card under this promo would give to your account in total (normal points + any extras)?

        • Bdawg on 05/08/2022 - 11:29

          Not supposed to get flybuys on giftcards either, but I did when I bought $3000 worth of visa gift cards off at approx 4% discount.

          • lgacb08 on 05/08/2022 - 16:10

            @Bdawg: That's different, you do get flybuys on most giftcards even when they're not in promo. The exception are coles myer and the coles giftcard, there might be more that l haven't tested.

  • jon on 05/08/2022 - 11:24

      you need the staff to help you load the value

      • WookieMonster on 05/08/2022 - 13:26

        No, it's actually a bug in the Woolworths Metro POS system (which is a separate POS system from the one used in Woolworths Supermarkets).

        I tried to purchase a variable load gift card from Woolworths Metro about a month ago, but as soon as I scanned the long gift card barcode, the system immediately loaded $0.01. The popup that should come up asking you for the amount you wanted to load never popped up. Staff had no way of changing the amount loaded onto the gift card from $0.01 to something else, because they cannot change the price of gift cards.

    • Frozensage on 05/08/2022 - 14:26

      I cannot see how that specifically would be an issue.

      The long barcode is only used when you purchase the gift card from the retailer. It is not used for checking the balance nor for any purchases using that gift card.

      A bigger issue would be if someone removed the tab over the long barcode, squeezed it out of the packaging, stuck a different long barcode over the back of the gift card (i.e. for an unactivated gift card that this person was holding onto), inserted the gift card back into the packaging and then took it back to the store for someone else to purchase. I have not seen it happen with OnlyONE Visa gift cards, but…:

      I did. But I forgot to scan while I was in store, so my scenario might be different to others.

      A few days after buying (after the 10% had stopped working) I contacted the help desk and asked is it possible to provide my rewards membership after the fact. They told me to email my membership number and a scan of my receipt. Points were added a day or two later. Received 10x points against the discounted amount paid.

    Hey all! I just chatted with everyday rewards on live chat and they manually processed the bonus points too. Bought $1000 of gift cards, paid $900, and got 9000 bonus points (worth $45), so netted a 14.5% discount and was able to redeem at Amazon. Points got credited instantly. Thanks again OP

    Anyone wanting Bunnings cards the shopback home swap card works with these for 2.5%
    It’s a swap via Prezzee with limited values, there was $50, $100, $150 I can’t remember the others

      Just bought $300 of amazon now to test, worked fine.

      Maybe double check the balance of your cards?

        I see thanks for your information, i have checked them, both with full balance, maybe my sb account has been locked somehow, i will dig it out, thanks a lot again.
