Woolworths gift card thread

[Jacques Vert]

Signs have gone up early at my local, so here’s advance notice of next week’s offer.

Only $50 and $100. No variable load.

I can't see the fee clearly; is it $5.95 on the Vanilla cards?

In the slightly less fine print underneath, they refer to it as a "purchase fee", and yes, it's $5.95

 

[Jacques Vert]

Yes indeed, thank you for pointing that out.

So, on a $100 card you get 1,000 WOW points, or $5, after paying a fee of $5.95! Tell 'em they're dreaming! (The $50 cards are even worse.)

Of course, you could convert your 1,000 WOW points to 500 QF; they're still dreaming!

As discussed upthread

1000 WOW=500 QF
Platinum Edge 315 MR=157 VA/CX/Avios/QF

Use it somewhere that otherwise charges a surcharge/doesn't pay CC FF points

I find the biggest time wasted is going to stores with no stock which is usually not a problem with this type of offer.

Redemption online at the big government shop is pretty quick using phone scanning feature

Pretty viable (if not awesome) IMO

Also useful for Points Club qualification

While all valid points (pardon the pun), I'll wait until there is a 20x points offer. While YMMV, I don't need QF points that badly for me to take up this offer.
