How did you get 2140...it's meant to be 2000?

Are you using self checkout? How do you get around the constant staff intervention?

I went to front counter. Staff processed no problem.

I don't think that you can unless you happen to get a machine that doesn't request intervention. Just do >1 at a time.

No idea! Even if you take the cost of the card into account it's still 2000 (bonus) + $106.95 x 1 for 2107.
It's a bonus bonus. I got the same though, 2140.

Yes, really weird.
Each docket stated "Points this shop: 2140".
"Current Points Balance" on docket increased by 140 points each time.
After purchasing the first card I used each 2,000 points bonus to take $10 of each of the next 5.

The fine print in-store says "limit 5 per customer" or something like that. Does anyone know whether that's "per in-store transaction event" or "per Woolworths Rewards account"? Someone getting full bonus points on 6 suggests the former, and multiple purchases for small quantities will work.

In the previous promo it took them a few days to get the limit hard coded into the system. Would suggest converting credits to dollars to use straight away, as jkbaus has suggested, to ensure you aren't docked the points retrospectively

Given no limit is specified in the catalogue you shouldn't worry about any in store signage.

Ive bought 54 so far on the same EDR, no problems getting pts

 

[SOPOOR]

yep really weird that its 2140 odd points per card,

ive used the same EDR card for and there is no limit,
the systems give full points on ten cards

Do you reckon the bonus points would apply at caltex woolies ?

I am in Tasmania on holiday at the moment. Am I right in saying they don't have the standard Everyday Rewards?

Correct. Leave the rewards card at home.

 

[foggy]

Correct. Leave the rewards card at home.

wow, so people in tasmania gets left out from these type of promotions?

 

[andye]

Thanks. Glad I didnt go gangbusters with the perfects then

 

[JessicaTam]

Indeed. I don't know why though. Franchise arrangements perhaps?

I received a weird amount of points in my shop today, I purchased 8 perfect gift cards but I figured out that I only received bonus points for 6 of them. Looking at my receipt it appears my local store still had some of the old $5.95 fee cards, no bonus points applied to them
Looks like I will have to follow up on this but watch out for this.

Also reported, above, by jetpack.

I bought one with a $5.95 fee from a Metro and didn't get the bonus 2000 points. Either the old $5.95 cards or Metro purchases are excluded from the promotion.

Looks like these are crediting at 20 points per dollar including the $6.95. Good times.

I went to a few stores in East melb. No restrictions and plenty of stock available!

It would be 20 ppd if the points were being received for the fee but not the card. That seems unlikely but could be true.
