Woolworths Card quote. “When you earn 4,000 points, you’ll receive a $20 Shopping Card every 4 months.”
So if I earn more than 4000 points (say 12000) will I receive a shopping card to the value of $60 every 4 months?
Is this card compatible with Samsung Pay?
Hi Lindsay,
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?
To answer your questions:
1. So if I earn more than 4000 points (say 12000) will I receive a shopping card to the value of $60 every 4 months?
Points are subject to the Woolworths Shopping Card Rewards Program Terms and Conditions. As per their website,“Every 4 months, points are automatically converted to a Woolworths Shopping Card redeemable at participating Woolworths Group stores. Participating stores may change from time to time. The Shopping Card expires 90 days after date of issue. Minimum of 4,000 points is required to receive a $20 Shopping Card”
You may confirm with the card company if you will receive more than 1 card if you earn more than $4000 points.

Hi there,
Is the additional cardholder fee a one off or an annual charge?
Thank you
Hi Sophie,
Thanks for your question. The additional cardholder fee of $9 is annual fee.

Is there a redemption vs earnings ratio for each card?
For example, one point per dollar spend will earn 0.015 redemption value for say a gift card. I understand that a gift card redemption ratio MAY differ from airline miles for a card but let’s consider a gift card or cash back if the same.
This ratio would enable a benefits comparison.
Hi Rajarab, thanks for your recommendation!
We have forwarded this to our development team for consideration.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Hello,
if i do a balance transfer which has 14 months interest free, do i still get 55 days interest free on all other purchases made during that 14 months?
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that we are not affiliated with Woolworths or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
With the Woolworths Everyday Platinum Credit Card, you will not receive the interest-free days on purchases unless your balance has been paid in full (excluding any Interest Free Finance promotions). This means that while you carry a balance transfer debt, you will not be able to take advantage of interest-free days on purchases.
Best regards,
Rench
Where is the list of dollar for point retailers where this can be used to earn points?
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your inquiry

Earn 2 points for every dollar spent on items you buy at Woolworths Supermarkets, BWS, Dan Murphy’s, and more. For all other eligible purchases, earn 1 point for every dollar you spend. Woolworths Shopping Card Reward Points don’t expire so long as your account remains open.

Hi there, can payments be made at Woolworth’s store and what is the minimum credit limit eg $3000?

What constitutes an “eligible purchase”?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your inquiry.
1 point earned for every $1 spent on other eligible purchases. Points are not earned on cash advances, balance transfers or other restricted transactions detailed in the Woolworths Shopping Card Rewards Program Terms and Conditions.
I hope this information has helped.
Cheers,
Harold
Thanks Harold. The reason I was asking is because you need to make an “eligible purchase” before you get the gift card bonus thingy. Is an “eligible purchase” basically anything other than those things you’ve listed, plus what appears at the Woolworths site (e.g. gambling transactions, etc.)?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, in general it has an exclusion. To make sure you only avail the eligible purchases you would need to read first the Woolworths Shopping Card Rewards Program Terms and Conditions.
I hope this information has helped.
Cheers,
Harold18
