Although Everyday Rewards (a.k.a Woolworths Rewards) is a relatively small program, Woolworths is branching out to other businesses such as credit cards and insurances, some of which may offer bonus points from time to time. Here are the type of offers you can expect to get bonus Everday Rewards points from, which could then be used for money off your shop or be transferred to Qantas Points.
1. Big W VIP: Collect 10x points per dollar
| Promo period: 11 to 14 May 2021 |
Get ready to plan your Big W online shopping spree because, for four days only, you will be earning 10 Woolworths Everyday Rewards points per dollar spent at bigw.com.au! Simply be an Everyday Rewards member and link your card online at the Big W website before shopping.
As a reminder, 2,000 Everyday Rewards points are worth $10 off at the checkout or 1,000 Qantas Points when converted. During the VIP Online Shopping Event, every $200 you spend will reach this threshold. For example, if you’re able to snag the super-elusive PlayStation 5 console during this event, you would earn 7,490 Everyday Rewards Points on the transaction.
Don’t forget you could enjoy additional savings from stacking this offer:
- Use the code GET10 at checkout to get $10 off a $100+ spend. Valid until 11:59pm AEDT 12 May 2021.
- Pay with discounted gift cards: get Big W gift cards at up to 5% off through certain memberships (e.g. Entertainment Book and auto clubs).
2. Get 15% off and 20,000 Everyday Rewards points with car insurance
| Expiry: Unknown | Last checked: 12 April 2021 |
Woolworths has a long-running car insurance offer where new customers can earn 20,000 Everyday Rewards points, equal to $100 off at the checkout or 10,000 Qantas Points. For a limited time, you could also get 15% off your premium!
Use the code REW20K during the quoting process to be eligible. Note that using this code may increase your premium slightly compared to not using the code, but we found the price difference to be minimal.
As we personally used this offer, the bonus points credited within the first month of the policy. Another perk of holding Woolworths car insurance is an extra 10% off your grocery shop once per month.
If the above code doesn’t work anymore, also try 20KR which may offer 20,000 bonus Everyday Rewards points, but without the 15% discount.
3. Earn up to 130,000 Everyday Rewards points with BUPA health insurance
| Expiry: 31 January 2022 | Last checked: 12 April 2021 |
Woolworths Everyday Rewards is teaming up with BUPA health insurance to offer up to 130,000 bonus points on new policies (equivalent to $650 off at the checkout or 65,000 Qantas Points).
The actual Everyday Rewards points bonus will vary depending on the annual premium:
- Under $1,000: 14,000 points
- $1,000 to $1,999: 24,000 points
- $2,000 to $2,999: 48,000 points
- $3,000 to $3,999: 60,000 points
- $4,000 to $4,999: 80,000 points
- $5,000 to $6,249: 110,000 points
- Over $6,250: 130,000 points
You’ll also earn 3x bonus points on fresh fruit and veggies at Woolworths for 60 days after you join BUPA. This offer is valid until 31 January 2022.
4. Earn 20,000 Everyday Rewards points with home and contents insurance
| Expiry: Unknown | Last checked: 12 April 2021 |
Another long-term offer is 20,000 bonus Everyday Rewards points with a Home and Contents Insurance policy (some people have reported that it works with Contents only, but your experience may vary).
Enter the code WOW20K during the quoting process to be eligible. The points are usually credited after 45 days, i.e. midway through your second month of paying premiums. The insurance policy may be able to be cancelled afterwards if you desire.
Woolworths home and contents insurance also gives an extra 10% off your grocery shop once per month.
5. Earn 20,000 Everyday Rewards points with pet insurance
| Expiry: Unknown | Last checked: 12 April 2021 |
A third offer is 20,000 bonus Everyday Rewards points with a Pet Insurance policy, which covers your furry little dogs and cats.
Enter the code BONUS20K during the quoting process to be eligible. The points are usually credited after 45 days. The insurance policy may be able to be cancelled afterwards if you desire, which incurs a $30 cancellation fee unless your pet passed away.
Woolworths Pet Insurance also gives an extra 10% off your grocery shop once per month.
6. Woolworths supermarket promotions
Woolworths also has lots of in-supermarket promotions, often offering between 2,000 to 6,000 Everyday Rewards points at a time. These can really stack up, so keep an eye out for them in your emails.
Read more about their supermarket promotions in our guide to earning Everyday Rewards points.
Summing up
Even though Everyday Rewards does not have many partners, Woolworths still manages to offer plenty of opportunities to earn bonus points through promotions. Points can be earned at the supermarket and with some of Woolworths’ ancillary products such as car and home/contents insurance.
Recurring shopping offers are the best way to regularly top-up your balance, while offers on insurance will give you a big boost once in a while when you’re switching over as a new customer.
Frequently asked questions
Keep an eye out on your email as that’s how many of Woolworth’s shopping promotions are released. If you have the Woolworths shopping app, some Rewards-related promotions may appear there too. Make sure to click the ‘Activate’ button before using a promotion.
Sign-up bonus points are also offered on some products such as insurance. This guide will have the latest details on these offers.
If you forgot your Everyday Rewards card while shopping and haven’t got it stored in Apple Wallet or Google Play, try downloading the Everyday Rewards app and logging in. It will display a barcode you can scan. It’s best to do this if you’re chasing a bonus offer.
Alternatively, you can give the Everyday Rewards team a call at 1300 101 234 within 7 days of purchase to have the base points of your shop added to your account as a once-off. Note that only the base points from your purchase will be added, no bonus points from any eligible offers on your account will be added.
It’s hard to pin down a value for Everyday Rewards points, as that depends on what you use them for. As a base number, 2,000 Everyday Rewards points is equal to $10 off at Woolworths, so that’s 0.5 cents a point.
If you had 16,000 Woolworths Rewards points and converted it to 8,000 Qantas Points and then used those points to redeem a short regional flight normally worth $250, then that is theoretically 1.6 cents per Everyday Rewards point.
Since 16,000 Everyday Rewards points are worth $80 at the supermarket, if you can instead redeem it for a short Qantas flight costing more than $80 (which most flights do usually), then you’ll be ahead!
