Shoppers at Woolworths have recently been pleasantly surprised with a significant increase in Everyday Rewards points on their regular grocery purchases. One customer, Rosie from Sydney, couldn’t believe her luck when she discovered she had received a whopping 2508 points for a $167.61 shopping haul at her local store. Typically, customers receive one point per dollar spent.
The unexpected boost in points was made possible through the Rewards App, which offers special promotions to help shoppers increase their points when purchasing certain items in-store or online. Rosie, who was thrilled with her bonus points, took to social media to encourage fellow Woolworths customers to check their receipts for similar surprises. The 2008 additional points she received amounted to $10 in savings, a pleasant bonus for her everyday shopping.
This surge in points comes after several changes were implemented to the Woolworths Rewards Program starting from July 1st. These changes include an increase in the subscription fee, the restriction of the monthly 10% discount to in-store purchases only, and a $25 minimum spend requirement for delivery.
Rosie’s post about her unexpected points windfall prompted other shoppers to double-check their receipts and Everyday Rewards accounts for possible rewards. Numerous customers expressed their astonishment at discovering large amounts of points added to their accounts despite minimal spending at Woolworths and Big W. One customer even received 10,538 extra points after spending just $250 at Woolworths.
Sharing her excitement, another customer revealed how she scored 10,398 points in a single month with only $150-$200 spent on her shopping trips. Many others chimed in with their own success stories, including a shopper who received 9470 points for a $111 purchase. A mum proudly announced that she had accumulated nearly 15,000 points in June alone, amounting to almost $700 in savings earmarked for Christmas.
A spokesperson for Woolworths Everyday Rewards explained that members receive personalised booster offers each week. Engaged members can save hundreds of dollars annually by activating bonus point offers, taking advantage of shopping specials in their “my weekly picks,” and redeeming fuel discounts. Members receive a selection of tailored offers via the Everyday Rewards app on a weekly basis, allowing them to choose which offers to boost based on their planned purchases and maximise their savings at the checkout.
Woolworths customers across Australia have been enjoying these unexpected rewards, making their everyday shopping experience all the more delightful. So, don’t forget to check your receipts and rewards accounts after your next trip to Woolworths – you might just be in for a pleasant surprise!
