As cash flow tightens up all around us, people are doing all they can to stretch their dollars further and save. And when you have a plan for beating those costly supermarket bills, you can definitely start feeling on top of the world.
One Woolworths customer was recently delighted when she shared a screenshot of an incredible $300 discount she'd received at her local store–leaving everyone feeling very excited.
The customer had snapped an image of a popup on her self-checkout screen showing them a $300 reward, which made a lot of other Aussie shoppers desperately asking: ‘How?!’
Woolworths were quick to shed light on the situation, revealing that the discount was the result of the store's Bank for Christmas scheme, which allows customers to save up their Everyday Rewards points, to be released during the all-important December shopping period.
Glenn Baker, Everyday Rewards General Manager, stated: 'We know Christmas can be an expensive time of year for shoppers and Bank for Christmas is a great way for Everyday Rewards members to collect points on their everyday shops, banking the dollars for when they’re needed most.’
This year, customers have been able to tap into their points from November 13, giving them the opportunity to cash in on the yearly Black Friday sales.
Shoppers everywhere were delighted to hear that $300 was on offer, but some customers have also scored even bigger wins, with up to $5000 saved up.
One mum recently explained that during this Christmas period, the reward scheme has been huge and better than ‘$10 [off a shop] here and there’.
It turns out that her experience is hardly uncommon, as new data from Finder revealed that more than four in five Australians are now taking part in loyalty programs at their local supermarkets.
And of those, more than half are using their points to save money at the checkout, taking advantage of discounts offered. Indeed, Everyday Rewards allows customers to amass points from their shopping at Woolworths, BIG W, BWS and Ampol.
Members can receive $10 off a shop on collecting 2000 points and alternatively use them to convert into 1000 Qantas Points.
Competitor Coles has the Flybuys program that works in the same way. Members can also collect points from shopping at Coles, Kmart, Target, Bunnings Warehouse, Officeworks, First Choice, Liquorland, and Shell Coles Express. They likewise receive $10 off a purchase after collecting 2000 points. Those 1000 points can also be converted into 500 Velocity Points.
With so many ways to save points and cash in this holiday season, make sure you explore and exhaust all your options so you can make the most out of your money
If you're looking to get ahead of the game this Christmas, you'd be wise to consider taking advantage of your local store's loyalty scheme and have it work for you in building some extra savings.
