Woolworths WISH Gift Cards provide you with the freedom to buy a range of products from different Woolworths Group stores.
Woolworths' WISH Gift Cards are designed to offer both the flexibility of cash and the thoughtfulness of a traditional present. These cards can be used at a range of stores including Woolworths, Big W, BWS, Dan Murphy's and Cellarmasters.
Woolworths WISH Gift Cards can be purchased in Woolworths Group stores or online, with both actual cards and eGift Card options available. These cards are also available in a variety of designs, allowing you to customise them based on specific occasions such as birthdays or graduations.
What gift cards are offered by Woolworths?
- Essentials cards. These cards offer limited use, and can be redeemed at Woolworths Supermarkets. Cardholders cannot redeem these cards online, and they cannot use them to pay for Gift Cards and eGift Cards or tobacco and alcohol products.
- Groceries Only Cards. You can redeem these cards only at Woolworths Supermarkets, in-store and not online. Again, you cannot use them to pay for Gift Cards and eGift Cards or tobacco and alcohol products.
- Store Gift Cards and eGift Cards. These are store specific cards, and a cardholder can redeem a store gift card in-store or online, depending on the retailer. Some options include the Woolworths Supermarket Gift Card, the Dick Smith Gift Card, and the BWS Gift Card.
A Woolworths WISH Gift Card can make a thoughtful present for just about anyone, with acceptance at many stores and a range of designs. The card does come with some restrictions, so keep those in mind when considering this type of card as a gift.
Where can I use Woolworths WISH Gift Cards?
You can use a WISH gift card at all participating Woolworths Group stores and online. The specific range will vary depending on the gift card you choose but generally includes:
- Woolworths Group Stores. Woolworths, Big W, Big W Optical, Caltex Woolworths, BWS, Dan Murphy's and Cellarmasters.

- Flexible amounts. You can get a WISH gift card with a minimum value of as little as $5 or $10, and a maximum value up to $500. If you want to gift more than the maximum limit, you'll need to buy more than one card.
- Classic or online. You can get a Woolworths WISH gift card in the conventional plastic card format, which can be used in-store and online. You can also get a WISH gift card online, in which case Woolworth delivers the card to the recipient electronically, with instructions on how to use the card both in-store and online.
- Customisable cards. You can choose from a range of designs for both traditional and online WISH Gift Cards. WISH eGift Cards can also be customised with an uploaded image and/or a personal message.
What should I be wary of when using a Woolworths WISH Gift Card?
Make sure you keep the following factors in mind to get the most out of a WISH Gift Card.
- Delivery time. If you buy a WISH gift card in-store you get the card straight away, and activation takes place within 24 hours. If you buy it online, it should be emailed to you or your chosen recipient within 12 hours. If you’re buying a conventional WISH gift card online, delivery can take in between six to eight business days.
- Delivery costs. If you choose to buy a traditional WISH gift card online, there is a delivery fee of $5.50 for registered post or $14.99 for a secure courier service.
- Fixed value. Once you have ordered a WISH Gift Card, the amount of money you requested to load on the card cannot be changed, so you'll need to spend the full amount at Woolworths Group stores.

hi,
my wish gift card’s issue date is 6/2/16, but when my husband used it a few days ago for some reason it didn’t work. The shop assistant suggested us calling you guys and today I called the number written on the card. Unfortunately, no person provided to answer any query. I checked the balance of the card, it is:$23.71. I don’t know how to solve this problem

I received a Woolworths Wish Card from my partner last year. I went to use the card and was told it had expired. There is an issue date on the card (04/02/2015) but no expiry date which I find misleading. The value of the card is $300.00 and I have not had a chance to use it. I would appreciate someone getting back to me in the hope that I can receive an extension as $300 is a lot of money which Woolworths has received. I tried the number listed on the card only to be directed to this website (also inadequate service). If I cannot get a resolution to this I will be contacting the Ombudsman to make a further complaint.

You haven’t really answered my question.
If I’m at Woolworths at the checkout counter paying for my groceries using the gift card can I withdraw cash from it?
Hello Ferdinand,
Thanks for reaching out.
Kindly note that finder.com.au is an online comparison service that does not represent any provider such as Woolworths.
Nonetheless, we can confirm that the Wish Gift Card should be treated like cash, but it can’t really be used to obtain actual cash as part of its limitation.
I also emailed you the link to Woolworths Wish Gift Card’s terms and conditions for your reference.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
Ally
Hi
few days ago I purchased a few E-gift cards online for christmas gift which came in to my email within 3 hours, that was efficient delivery [system automatically process and issue?]
then I placed order again for myself but this time took 2 days and status still says payment pending, I have asked my bank making sure my credit card payment is authorized,
same to Jack and Man I couldn’t find a contact number to speak to a customer service rep
Any help or progress? was going to use the e-gift card on boxing day shopping……
thanks
Hi Kyle,
Thanks for your question.
As a financial comparison service, we’re unable to confirm the status of your delivery. If you ordered it over the Christmas period, the delay could be due to holiday operating hours.
You can contact Woolworths on 1300 10 1234 to resolve the issue.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
Sally
Can you use a Big W returns card to purchase tobacco or alcohol at Woolworths or BWS stores

Hi
I have similar experiences to Jack below. It has been over 24 hours since Woolworth has charged me for purchasing their eGift card online. But the status is still payment pending. I have tried to find a phone contact no. on their website but could not find it. Could you please also send me their contact details so that I can find out what’s going on with my order?
Thanks,
Man
Hi Man,
