Woolworths Rewards General Offers

Bought a bottle of water today at WW for $1.5 and received 2 points also show your points balance on the receipt much better system than Coles i think

Okay, that appears to prove the rounding up theory.

The next test is to check what happens if you make a purchase under $1. Will this round to 1 point?

Both Qantas Points and Saving For Xmas seem to have a date of 15/12/2016 . Is that mean you won't get any points before this date .

This has been known since the leak on AusBT about the program changes. For some reason, rather then pay out QF points weekly/as earned like in the old EDR system, they are converting to QF quarterly.

I had 2 transactions today. $4.99 and $4. Until today, I wouldn't have scanned my card for either (being under $5 and the staff discount not kicking in). I got 6 points for the first and 4 for the second.

I changed my preference to QFF this morning, but the receipt still said $10 off next shop.

I didn't even know you could set a preference before.

In the old EDR system, you could choose to link to QF and enter your QFF details into the EDR account. That triggered sending points to QF rather then "points" running in the background sending gift cards out every so often. This was removed when the program changed at the end of last year.
With the changes made today, anyone who had linked to QF before still has their QFF details in their WR account, but they need to change the settings back to earning QF points.

Not that I'm aware of. 3 items, 2 on normal specials. Wasn't $5.00 or more, so no staff discount.

Just a quick question what happens to the WW dollars earned previously. I think I had $6.50 in the bank. Do they convert that back to points?

Yes, existing W$ have been converted to WoW points in line with the $10:2000 point ratio.

While I believe the old scheme was better the big upside for someone who does multiple small purchases is that they all now count

Were any Deli? Seafood? Fresh Fruit/Veg or Fersh Meat?

... 'cause there's double points 'til 27th September for those items.

Looks like it's time to dig out that WW card again after being relegated to the back of a drawer somewhere for the last 6 months.

Just spent $127.88 at Woolies but docket notes that I have earned 188 points. When I look at Deli/fruit,veg and meat items then it's about right

Only 1812 points to go for my 870 QFF points...yipeee

no. That transaction (and same items in a transaction today) did not have any advertised bonus point items.
3 transactions today. $4.99 (same as yesterday) 6 points.
$3.90, 2 items, 1 bakery, 1 deli from bain-marie. 6 points.
$9.49, all longlife items. 10 points.

So confirmed rounding up. No idea where the extra point is coming from on that morning transaction. It may have been related to staff discount and giving points based on price before the discount was applied, but being under $5.00, there is no discount. Will have to see next week when the special items change.


I have my account set to Qantas points, which they have confirmed. However, the receipts are still saying that I have $20 off on my next shop. Seems like there might be an error somewhere.

I gave this a bit of a test run today.
I bought an Avocado for 90c, no point received for an under $1 transaction.
I tried a second transaction of $2.50 bag of apples, got 4 points (2, for the $2, but double points for being fresh produce) - so it doesn't appear to be rounding up.

The bonus points seem to affect the rounding aspects of the scheme. I haven't quite figured it all out but a pattern will emerge eventually.

Hot roast chickens are considered to be Deli counter products even though they are available in most stores as an aisle item. They have a set deli barcode so this might have something to do with it. I got double points on my hot chicken purchase yesterday.

I can't make head or tails out of how the double points thing works. Buying single items, I've had double the rounded down amount, double the rounded up amount, and various things in between.

We received the flyer in the post for 6 week bonus offers, but for only one of our cards. Tried to register via SMS the unique activation code but came back as code not recognised, tried 3 times. Logged on and waited 15 minutes to try and do some live chat but no operator came on, so have sent them an email ....all the makings of ongoing disaster for them

I don't think you are the only one who has had problems. I've seen reports on the Woolworths Rewards facebook page about the issue and the company reps haven't come up with any decent and helpful replies to the members that have had problems.

It appears that any deli/seafood items which have barcodes printed from the counter scales count towards double points, regardless of where in the shop they are displayed, while items with normal barcodes don't.

I've had transactions round up points while the exact same items the next day don't.
Yesterday I had a bakery only transaction round up, while a similar bakery only transaction the day before rounded down.
