What's the difference between Woolworths Rewards and Woolworths Everyday Rewards?
Previously, this rewards program was known as Woolworths Everyday Rewards. But between October 2015 and August 2016, it went through some serious changes. In 2015, Woolworths changed the Everyday Rewards program to Woolworths Rewards. The updated scheme allowed you to get money off your shopping with the supermarket giant by earning Woolworths Dollars on selected items. It also scrapped the option of earning Qantas Points for eligible spending.
Following that change and feedback from customers, Woolworths updated the program again on 31 August 2016. The current program offers 1 point per $1 spent at Woolworths supermarkets, Woolworths online and BWS stores. You then have the option of automatically redeeming points for money off your shopping, saving them up, or converting them to Qantas Points.
How does Woolworths Everyday Rewards compare to Woolworths Rewards?
| Features | Woolworths Everyday Rewards (Old) | Woolworths Rewards until 31 August 2016 | Woolworths Rewards after 31 August 2016 |

What are Woolworths Dollars?
Woolworths Dollars were the currency of the Woolworths Rewards program launched in October 2015. Each Woolworth Dollar was worth AUD$1 off a future spend at participating Woolworths Group stores.
You earned Woolworth Dollars by scanning your card when purchasing selected orange ticket items at Woolworths online, Woolworths supermarkets and BWS stores, excluding Tasmania. When you accumulated 10 Woolworth Dollars, you automatically got $10 off your next transaction in participating stores by scanning your card. As of 31 August 2016, Woolworths points will be earned on spending and can then be converted into Woolworths Dollars, with 2,000 points equalling 10 Woolworths Dollars.
Is there still a minimum spend to earn Woolworths points?
No. Previously, under the previous Woolworths Everyday Rewards scheme, you had to spend $30 to earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent. Following the 31 August 2016 updates, you will earn 1 point per $1 spent at participating Woolworths Group stores.
If you regularly shop at Woolworths and BWS, the Woolworths Rewards program gives you a way to get more benefits from your spending. But as this program has gone through many changes, it's useful to read up on details and frequently asked questions. If you still want to know more, you can read our guide on the current Woolworths Rewards program or leave us a comment below.

Ok thanks for answering back but I don’t want to bank them until December – I want to use them when ever I decide and choose how many I want to use
You’re welcome, Elizabeth.
If you wish to use your points anytime and not wait for December, you may call the bank directly on how to use your Woolworths points anytime. Also, what you can do also do is check how much you’ve accumulated as of today. :)
Hope this helps.
Thank you and best regards,

Can I have my Woolworths points accumulated as I don’t want to have the $10.00 taken off every time I shop and if I can how do I nominate when I can use the points
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for your message and for visiting finder – the leading comparison website & general information service built to give you advice in your buying decision needs. How are you doing today?
You can have your Woolworths points accumulated. To prevent being charged $10 every time you use/purchase something with your Woolworths points, make sure your balance reaches 2,000 points.
When you have earned 2,000 Woolworths points, they will be converted to 10 Woolworths Dollars. You then have the following reward options:
* Automatic savings. Automatically get $10 off your next shop at a Woolworths supermarket or BWS store when you spend $10 or more on eligible purchases in-store or online and scan your card.
* Bank your points. Save up your points for Christmas. If you choose this option, your points will be banked and then made available to you in increments of 10 Woolworths Dollars on 15 December 2016. For example, if you earn 10,000 points between 1 September and 15 December 2016, you would get 50 Woolworths Dollars (and $50 off your shopping at Woolworths).
* Convert Woolworths Dollars to Qantas Points. You can choose to have the Woolworths Dollars you earn converted to Qantas frequent flyer points. With this option, your points will be saved up in 10 Woolworths Dollar increments and automatically transferred to your Qantas Frequent Flyer membership on 15 December 2016. For reference, 2,000 Woolworths points = 10 Woolworths Dollars = 870 Qantas Points.
You can check your Woolworths Rewards points by logging into woolworthsrewards.com.au using your membership number and password. You can then select “My Account” to view your points. I
If you want to see how many Qantas Points you have, you’ll need to login to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account.

I am currently considering applying for a Woolworths Qantas Platinum credit card. I am a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program . Currently I hold a NAB Qantas Platinum One Visa card and a ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa card with an additional, ,American Express card. I may cancel the NAB and ANZ cards as the Qantas points earnings have changed and don’t represent value for money. With regard to the Woolworths Qantas Platinum credit card, I would like to know – does this card allow me to earn QANTAS points on everyday purchases at eg all supermarkets, retail shops such as boutiques, bill payments etc other than just Woolworths supermarkets or associated companies. In other words will I receive points for general spending as has applied with my ANZ and NAB cards in the past. I understand the exceptions to earning points as explained in the literature, I just would like to know the general spending and earning points options for the Woolworths card. Also if my application for a card is accepted, do my points automatically transfer to my Qantas Frequent Flyer account at the end of the account period.
Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You’ll earn 1 point for every dollar spent in store and online at Woolworths supermarkets, BWS and Caltex Woolworths fuel outlets (excludes Tasmania, Star Mart and Star Shop).
