Just thought i'd share how i save even more money at woolworths.
(1) Buy the wish cards at 5% discount (I get mine directly from RAA in S.A.)
(2) When you have accumulated enough every day rewards you can cash them in for a $20 woolworths card, don't choose that option. The same points will give you a $25 Big W card.
(3) Use the Big W card in Woolworths.
found this out by accident and was told by a staff member that DSE, Big W etc branded cards all work at woolworths.
Good tips. I'll add one:
4) Check the specials actually ring up on the till. I've had it happen a few times that stuff shown discounted on the shelf is not discounted at the till.
If it's the wrong price, don't you get it for free?
yes, at Woolworths, according to their participation in this voluntary code of practice:

And if you don't get the special, make sure its not an everyday rewards card special if you don't have a card, damn Woolworths.
and if you want a discount for edr members only but aren't a member, grab a temporary card, scan it and then later ditch it.
(2) When you have accumulated enough every day rewards you can cash them in for a $20 woolworths card, don't choose that option. The same points will give you a $25 Big W card.
Where do I check how to cash-in? Or is that only with the EDR mastercard? I'm using the basic EDR card atm :|
Maybe it's over on the Qantas Frequent Flyers? I checked and there is a difference there between the two cards. Other than that I'm not sure where the OP is "cashing" his points in.
On Qantas Frequent Flyer store:
A $25 Woolworths card costs 3750 QFF points.
A $25 Big W card costs 3500 QFF points.
Also make sure you get the $50 card as this takes 135 pts per dollar whereas the $25 takes 140 pts per dollar. There's no additional advantage for higher value Big W cards as every card except the $25 scales to 135 pts per dollar.
Sorry my bad…
Just realised that the offer is woolworths $25 for 3750 points or Big W for 3500.
Just a little saving then but hey why waste 250 points…
what is RAA?
same as NRMA,RACQ,RACV etc
where can you buy discounted wish cards in NSW? thanks
Can you use your ING paywave 5% cashback to pay for the discounted gift cards?
Didn't know that about the BigW cards working at woolies - great pick up!
