Woolworth points

Looking at my receipt today.....
pretty sure when the newest enhancements came out to wow points
points were rounded up, say you spent $18.38 you would get 19pts
today on my receipt it was rounded down to 18 pts
anyone notice this?

I've had it round both up and down and haven't been able to work it out ($29.85 down to 29 points / $29.15 up to 30).

Not sure but maybe they keep track of the cents across spends??

Yes, when the program was revamped late last year, the paperwork did state that points would be rounded up.
I have noticed that it randomly rounds both up and down. It makes no sense, and they haven't answered the question whenever I've asked.

As far as I can tell, it rounds to the nearest even number.

I suspect the underlying system is in cents, while this displays in half cents, making them always even numbers.
