  • 2000 or 12000 points ?

    • +3

      2,000 points for each shop of $150. You can do this three times at Woolies, and three times at Coles. Total 12,000 points. That is my understanding of it.

  • +1

    difficult to spend $150 at one transaction. buying some gift card?

    • +1

      That's the only way I would do it.

      • Can you confirm that this will work? I skimmed the t & c's and didn't see anything saying it wouldn't.

        If anyone can confirm I might be up for it.

    • Or cash out?

      • -2

        Cash advance fee for $150 would be ~ $4.05 plus ~ 21% p.a. in interest.

        Possibly worthwhile for 2,000 points a pop, but it's likely not eligible for bonus.

        • +2

          Why on earth would there be a cash advance fee!

        • +1

          it's a debit card no cash advance fee.

      • Coles and Woolworths will only allow you to do cashout over the eftpos network (i.e. SAV or CHQ). However, the offer terms and conditions provided by churlish says that any transactions routed through the eftpos network (i.e. SAV or CHQ) are excluded from this offer, which means that cashout will officially not count towards this deal.

        As an aside…

        • This clause also means that if you tap a physical Virgin Money Visa Debit Card at Coles, there is a good chance that Coles will route the payment through the eftpos network instead of the Visa network (especially for a higher-value transaction, e.g. $150). Coles implemented Least-Cost Routing (LCR) on dual-network Visa debit cards a few years ago, so if you want to participate in this deal, the best thing to do is insert the physical card into the EFTPOS terminal and choose CR when prompted. (I am not sure whether Woolworths has implemented LCR on contactless transactions from physical dual-network Visa debit cards.)

        • I do not know whether the Virgin Money Visa Debit Card on Apple Pay supports both the Visa and eftpos networks. However, if it does and you added the Virgin Money Visa Debit Card to an iPhone when it was running iOS 18 (or an Apple Watch when it was running watchOS 11), it means you will not be able to choose to route your payment through Visa or eftpos. In other words, LCR is switched on for that payment card in Apple Pay, and your payment will be routed through either Visa or eftpos (depending on Coles' or Woolworths' preferences).

    These points are brilliant and difficult to earn. Apart from the HSBC star alliance card, this is your only other option to transfer to mileage plus. Points don't expire and they have far more pointed redemption options than Kris flyer etc.

  • +2

    Is it just me or can anyone find the offer on the link? How do we know what cards are eligible?

    • I find the offer in the Virgin Money app by clicking Rewards and then Earn.

    Maybe targeted?

  • Couldn't find a clickable link, so here's a screenshot of the T&C's from the email.
