- Replies 4
As lovers of a good bargain and saving money, we had to share this genius discovery: a Woolworths Everyday Rewards trick that transformed a simple shopper into a delighted treasure seeker.
Nothing stirs the heart more than finding out you've had money tucked away without realising it, and we at the SDC are here to give you all the juicy details.
Taking to Facebook, a Woolworths customer generously shared a clever trick: the potential to discover a treasure trove of forgotten money on used gift cards, potentially shaving dollars off your future grocery bills.
She revealed the simple yet efficient method—all you have to do is upload the used gift cards into the Everyday Pay wallet of the Everyday Rewards app.

This neat trick pools together all leftover balances, consolidating them for a single transaction, an ingenious idea for those with small outstanding balances scattered and abandoned on old gift cards.
By uploading the balances to the Everyday Rewards app, you can set the wallet to utilise the gift card balances first. In a world of financial uncertainty, this small discovery packs quite a punch and promises a fresh approach to frugality.
In her post, the thrilled Woolworths customer revealed her exciting find of money that was literally 'going to waste'.
'I had a little bit on one gift card and some more on another,' she shared, adding: 'The lady told me if you go to your rewards app and add the gift cards in the app, you can use them to pay all in one go!'
Amounts ranged from small change to as much as $10. Totalling up, she managed to rescue $43.51, that until then, was going unnoticed. The cherry on top? When using Everyday Pay in-store, it will deduct the balance from the gift cards first, leaving the rest to the linked card.
So how do you check the balance of old gift cards?
'Add it to the app, and once added, it will display the amount in the stored cards section!' the savvy shopper explained. If the card happens to be empty, the app won't accept it. Quite the clever system, isn't it?
You can also check the balance by looking up the Woolworths gift card check balance online and entering the card number and the pin. And remember, if it shows any balance, even minimal, it's cash ready to be spent.
Tested and echoed by another Woolworths shopper, she found a whopping $109 from various forgotten cards over the years.

This crafty tip, swiftly acknowledged by an Everyday Rewards spokesperson, is indeed a valuable aspect of their app.
