I would give it less stars if I could. I cant log into the app. I tried to reset password but it's not sending the link to my email address which I've had for over 30 years. Tried the AI chat but went around in circles and some of my card number has worn off so cant enter it to speak to a human. Next went to the 1300 number waited 15 minutes when… Read more

it was answered but no one spoke and after about a minute they hung up. There is no email address to contact them. I think this is somebodies idea of a sick joke. From where where I sit Woolworth's help on the app is a shining example of what not to do.

Having trouble logging in to the Rewards app due to outdated credentials. I contacted the support team by phone. With great patience and a very good understanding of the issues Nathan worked with me effortlessly for a fairly long time to resolve the issue and update everything so my app and wallet is functional. Its services like this that have… Read more

prompted me to switch my shopping experience to Wolworths from the competition Coles. Well done Please convey my sincere thanks to Nathan Shammi Anand

App asks for DOB.... fine but you have to tap backwards one month at a time from current date. Even if you use a fake date assumedly you have to be 18 minimum to join? Thats 18 x 12 = 204 taps on the date... i know people with IQ's less than 80 ...perhaps they could get a job in charge of app development at woolworths?

I been a member of Woolworths Rewards for almost 10y and saved $1350. I use the offers eg spend $170 this week get 2300 points whilst accumulating base points $1=1 point. I use it when buying fuel and get 4c off/L. BWS have the scheme too also BIG W. I cant complain, has more benefits than a staff discount card. I worked there yrs ago and they gave us a 5% discount card. The points accumulate and before u know it u got $10 off next shop!

They offer promo rewards for insurance and then don't give reward. Code BF12K or CAR12K Disappointing that they don't give the rewards to every everyday rewards member who takes out insurance with them. I did receive the 10% off on 1 shop each month, but still feel disappointed

I used to look at the reward offers religiously. Now the offers are almost non existent so I hardly ever bother. It seems Coles might be more worthwhile now.

Horrible Reward System and Stingy – Absolutely ridiculous program and not worth it … local shops offer more better rewards and produce. What a shame for a big company like woolies to be such a ripoff. Been shopping forever and didn’t even reach the 10 bucks. Panetta already gave me $40 worth of rewards in shorter time frame. Every 100 points I get $10 …

Refused points and rewards – SCAM!! How can a company advertise Fuel discounts and then not give the discount. App says you get rewards for shopping at certain stores but still don’t give the rewards. Utter scam!! Company will also use every excuse to not give you the points or discount and then say they are giving you as ‘goodwill’

No wonder they have only 1.5 stars, goes to show they don't listen to there customers. You shouldn't have to press a button that doesn't always work to boost rewards, if they were genuin, honest and ethical it would apply the boost automatically.

 Follow-up  · They need to offer genuine specials / boosts without having to chase it through an app. At the time I clicked on the link from email notification which, took me to the web page however the boost never applied and support couldn't' do anything, they said I should have checked the app afterwards. As a result, I now shop at Coles (WOW -$10k pa &… Read more

Normally I’ve enjoyed woolworths rewards. But recently it has logged me out of the app and as I log back in it it telling me it will share my details with others. It’s not asking me or giving me a choice! So no app it is. I do not approve of woolworths sharing my information with others.

 Follow-up  · I’ve attached a photo of what appears when I go to log in. This is a new prompt I never use to receive. I cannot log in without agreeing to this action. So now I can no longer boost items and gain extra rewards.

WOOLWORTHS Misleading 10% discount – 10% discount offer if you have car insurance also same offer for mobile phone. If you have both you only get 1 x 10% off your shop per month as woolworths insurance and mobile share the code. Doesn't seem fair as I expected to have 2 weeks shopping… Read more

per month with 10% off . Will not be renewing my car insurance as without the 10% off one weekly shop they are more expensive than Budget Direct

 Follow-up  · Wouldnt give me the 10% off so cancelled my car insurance as without the 10% off my shop insurance is cheaper elsewhere

Love this reward program, especially the app upgrades of no longer having to boost/activate bonuses. I never buy stuff just because of a ‘bonus’. I just do my weekly shops as normal. We are nearing the end of February & i have already received $70 in vouchers this year & I love the fact that you can save them up for xmas. i ordered duplicate cards… Read more

& gave to my partner & children as between us we can spend $450 a week just on fuel. I also have a woolworths insurance policy so get an extra 10% off one shop per month. I usually use this on my biggest monthly shop.

It's Free – It doesn't cost anything to join Woolworths Rewards and there are a number of benefits for doing so. One benefit is that some products are offered for a cheaper price to shoppers that scan their rewards card at the cash register. Points can build up and provider the shopper with the option of a discount or using points to buy products and… Read more

services. Woolworths often emails out invitations to earn points faster. Unfortunately, these have not been so good in the past few years and I have found Coles rewards program to be much better. Personally, I would prefer that there was no rewards program and prices of products were reduced instead. If there are any issues, I have found Woolworths to be extremely helpful and quite generous. I do like shopping at Woolworths and make sure that I always scan my card.

Different advertised prices – I was in my local Thurgoona store and was looking at the lamb pieces or half legs they were advertised fpr $8.00 a kilo but some of them were marked at $10.00 a Kilo is that ok? I also found this at your ALBURY STORE.

Woolworths is running a loyalty cookware promotion that requires you to spend a fortune to collect points then redeem the reward. It took months and thousands of $ to collect enough points for something and then I couldn’t ever find a store that had any stock. Now even though the promotion is still running I’m told all of NSW is completely out of… Read more

stock and there will be no replenishment. I reached out to the rewards support chat and they dismissed my concern stating “sorry out of stock” and closed my chat immediately. The grocery chat support said the same and also closed chat. So basically Woolworths can run a promotion that requires thousands of dollars to be spent and doesn’t bother ordering the actual reward stock relying on “out of stock” excuse. There is no cookware at all available anywhere in NSW and the promotion requires you to build up the points over time to redeem. Disgusting, lazy, deceitful and criminal behaviour!

After reaching 2000 points, I received no reward at all, just an untrue statement about it and lost all the accumulated points. TOTAL WAIST OF TIME. ALDI is a lot better and honest

 Follow-up  · I finally got the $10 reward. I stoped using the reward system since.

Not worth the bother unless you buy big ticket items from big w. Spending 2000 to get ten dollars rewards is actually quite pathetic. If I spent 2000 at aldi Id get three times as much food compared to woolies. If only fruit n veg were as cheap as the junk food advertised. I now use Woolworths as a last stop.

There needs to be an option to give feedback on boosters. They’ve given me one for nappies (I don’t have kids) and another for PetStock (my cat died 6 months ago).

I recently opted in for the spend $xxx weekly for x weeks to gain 8,000 reward points. In the final week, I spent just over the required amount. 2x an item I ordered totalling $36 weren't available and was replaced with items totalling $22. Unfortunately this brought my spend down and I didn't receive the 8k points. Unfortunate, and poor form. Show details

Fuel Discount is non existent, according to the App you spend more than 30 dollars and you qualify for a 4 cent discount at participating Woolworths and Ampol Service Stations. Just tried it and was told, “ We don’t do the discount we only give you rewards points.” I guess I’ll stick to Aldi in future. What a crock of nonsense. Show details

Last week, rewards offer, spend $270 and you will get 4050 points. So, that is what I do. Due to NIL stock or over payment of weight, there was a refund which took me under $270, so my points were gladly stripped. I am trying to understand that on the day prior to the reward ending, you are happily to automatically deduct for the delivery, but… Read more

no automatically share the points until after delivery. This is to penalise customers of earning extra points due to woolies having a lack of stock. Then I go and speak to miserable "Christi" who seriously could not calculate what I was due. I had to step by step take her through the maths session. Then I ask for an explanation as to why this had occurred when the transaction was charged at over $270, to a response of " well it should not have happened" I would have been better off interacting with a brick wall. Then i get onto Mia on chat, same useless service experience. Whilst you wait for a response in between all the others chats she must be managing. Really appalling customer service. This should not happen, if you spend, you get the promotion, not my problem you do not have enough stock take or you over charge on weight. The changes to this program are getting worse, tighter, and more difficult to take advantage of the rewards. There is no complaints department, only alternative is to deal with a phone call or chat, today I did both, and got two frustrating team members. No win.

The weekly specials that are personal to yourself start on Wednesday. They used to be announced by email on Tuesday. Now, however, they are not sent until late on Wednesday morning - after my regular shopping time on Wednesday morning. Very disappointing. Why can't they be scheduled for the day beforehand so you can plan your shopping? And as… Read more

someone else has mentioned, the weekly boosters are things I bought once ages ago and have never bought again, so again pretty useless. And the occasional reward for spending over $100 in one week disadvantages single people as opposed to families with full trolleys. All round, pretty unsatisfactory for loyal customers.

Disappointed with the membership I only get 10% off once a month and not at big w and never get to use my petrol vouchers because no Woolworths stations near me.

Endless problems trying to use this for 10% discount with Insurance policy at Woolworth store at Stirling Gate shops in Perth, WA. Staff member incredibly rude and unhelpful.

I seldom shop in Woolworths, always at Coles. Shopped at W this morning. Went home to check my everyday reward. Difficult to log in. It said it would send a 6 digit code to my phone. Never arrived. Rang and was asked personal questions like my date… Read more

of birth and then had to wait for 10 minutes. With Coles online, I just logged in with my Pin numbers and user friendly. You wonder why sales in Woolworth and lagging behind Coles

Everyday Rewards CROSS are incompetent at best and some deliberately set out updating a mobile phone number impossible! I gave my name, address, dob, email, 4 ids but this wasn't enough to update my mobile! It wasn't as if Tash was protecting a $Billion account of mine, but merely needed to identify me, then update mobile back to original number which was online for years.

It was my 3rd attempt today...

And I have been trying to get a new Rewards Card as my numbers have faded but the so called Call Centre number says, you are 8th in the queue, 6th in the queue, 2nd in the queue, next in the queue; but 6 hours later you never get through!

Rewards Program is an Abject Failure, speaking as an International Customer Service and Call Centre Champion, who had colleagues in the USA come out for 2 weeks and learn how we achieved 1st in monthly KPIs for 4 years!

Have Unsubscribed!

Suggest others consider doing the same!

 Follow-up  · Shocking... Unsubscribed... Yes tried instore for help but was referred back to Call Centre; so to get a new card and update my mobile became all too difficult for Staff...

 Follow-up  · A further follow up with 2 suggestions First, at the Woolworths Customer Service Counters across Australia, make it possible for new cards to be ordered after showing one ID... Second, at the Woolworths Customer Service Counters across Australia, make it possible to update mobile phone numbers after showing one ID!

I think it is better to shop around outside woollies for better ssvings. I find that overall the reward points are not really worth it as the savings are offset by cheaper options rather than sticking to woolworths.

This year the targets they gave you to get rewards bonuse points wasnt very fair. They can see what i spend there each week. It seemed like they put everything so I would just miss out on bonuse point. Also they can see what you are buying knowing full well you wouldnt be buying that for a few weeks again they would put bonuse point on it the… Read more

week after you bought so you couldn't get the extra points. Or they would put stuff up that you havent bought in months.

Spent days trying to copy and paste new code into Woolworths redeem drop box to get 10% off this month's grocery shop. Kept telling me I wasn't eligible. Only fixed itself when I rang Rewards division, and they plugged in the code. Woolworths has a terrible bunch of computer clowns. Always a glytch waiting to happen. Usually I have to log in… Read more

twice, as first time, it tells me I am not logged in...then if I immediately log in for a second time, it works. More often than not, doesn't keep me logged in. Thankfully, the guy I spoke with in the Rewards division knew what he was doing, and was very polite.
