Ah, the sweet satisfaction of walking into a supermarket, armed to the teeth with loyalty cards and emerging victorious with bags full of discounted goodies that would make any thrifty Aussie shed a tear of joy. But like all good things, sometimes changes appear on the horizon that shake up our shopping strategies. We're here to help you prepare for a few surprising tweaks to the Woolworths Everyday Rewards Extra program!

Launched to great fanfare last year, Woolworths Everyday Rewards Extra promised a tempting array of rewards and discounts for members shelling out an annual subscription fee of $59. Original perks included a 10% discount on one Woolworths and one BIG W shop each month, usable both online and in-store. And if that wasn't enough, the generous 3X points on every shop at Woolworths and BIG W were truly the cherry on top.

Hold onto your shopping trolleys, dear members, as Woolworths has announced that the yearly subscription fee is increasing to $70. And before you ask, yes, there's more: instead of the 3X points you've grown accustomed to, you'll now be receiving a more modest 2X points per shop.

As if these changes weren't enough to ruffle our collective feathers, the popular 10% discount perk is now exclusively available for in-store visits to Woolworths and BIG W. That's right, folks, no more using the discount for online orders. You can bet your bottom dollar that this news has left many members seeing red.

With the changes effective from the 1st of July, 2023, Woolworths has stepped up to address this whirlwind of alterations to its loyalty program. A spokesperson for Everyday Rewards claimed that the program continues to deliver huge benefits to members. In just a year since Everyday Extra's trial period began, early subscribers have saved, on average, $30 a month.

The spokesperson went on to ensure that despite these changes, the program still offers undeniable value: 'From 1 July, Everyday Extra subscribers can still save up to $100 a month with monthly discounts shopping across Woolworths and BIG W, double Everyday Rewards points on their everyday shopping, and Extra Perks including free products.'

To soften the blow, Woolworths is extending an olive branch in the form of three additional months of free access to annual Everyday Extra subscribers. Monthly subscribers, have no fear—you'll receive an extra month of free access too!

While the silver lining of an estimated $360 in yearly savings (excluding the subscription fee) might not phase some Everyday Rewards members, others have voiced their disappointment with these sudden modifications.

Tips for Managing Multiple Loyalty Programs​

Many of us are no strangers to juggling multiple loyalty programs. With the abundance of discount options available, it can be difficult to keep track of the countless offers from each retailer. To make sure you’re always in the know, here are a few tried and tested tips for managing multiple loyalty programs!

Pay Attention To The Terms And Conditions​

Firstly, make sure to keep a close eye on the Terms & Conditions of each loyalty program before you sign up. This will give you an understanding of exactly what you're signing up for and any restrictions associated with discounts or deals. Make sure to ask questions if you encounter any confusing terms or conditions to avoid any nasty legal surprises down the track.

Keep An Eye On Expiration Dates​

It’s also important to keep an eye on expiration dates. Almost all loyalty programs have an expiry date for reward points or discounts, so it’s important to use them before they fade away.

Download The Loyalty Program App​

You’ll also want to be prepared on the go, so consider downloading the loyalty program apps that are associated with retailers you regularly visit. That way, you won’t have to fumble around for cards or wait in line with your wallet at the supermarket.

Shop Sensibly And Within Your Means​

Finally, while it's important to make sure you're making the most of loyalty programs, always remember to shop sensibly and within your means. Don't stock up on items just because they are discounted—stick to your shopping list and stock up on only the items you need! It may seem simple, but following these steps will ensure you always get the most out of your loyalty programs.

Key Takeaways

• Woolworths supermarket has made three major changes to its Everyday Rewards Extra program, including increasing the subscription fee, reducing the points earned per shop, and restricting the 10 per cent discount to in-store purchases only.
• The changes have prompted an angry reaction from many Everyday Rewards Extra members, especially those who relied on the discount for online orders.
• Despite the negative feedback, a Woolworths spokesperson emphasised that the program still offers considerable benefits and savings for its members.
• Existing Everyday Extra annual subscribers will receive three months of additional free access on their current plan, and monthly subscribers will receive an additional month free.

Surely, we are no strangers to adapting when times change, and our shopping isn't any different! As we roll with the punches, let's remember to stay on the lookout for the best discounts and offers, both in-store and online.

So keep an eye on the changes rolling out from July 1 2023.

[Pinky300]

What a miserable bunch of penny-pinchers. They are making obscenely massive profits but feel the need to cut back on this program.

 

[Gersman]

Same with if you have pet insurance the 10% off a monthly shop we used online as we don’t go into the store for various reasons of health. Now that they’ve changed that well the benefits of being with them doesn’t apply to us anymore.

 

[darrellh]

What a miserable bunch of penny-pinchers. They are making obscenely massive profits but feel the need to cut back on this program.

Couldn't agree more. Massive profits and it is still not enough for them. I think it is down right rude. Really makes me want to kick them to the curb. I personally don't use any pay for discounts but that is not the point. Really disappointing Woolworths!

 

[Liz]

Woollies has also changed the delivery saver from 1 July 2023. You used to have to only spend $50 in one shop now you are going to have to pay $75 in one shop. They are making it really tough on the little guy

 

[Cath99]

I'll be cancelling my subscription, I physically can't go to the shops because I have brain cancer and being single $75 is too much in one shop let alone $70 a year .

[elliv31]

Check your term and conditions. ANZ lost a court battle many years ago with one of thier Credit Cards, which stated "No change to annual fees ever>. They then changed the annual fee and lost the case. Read carefully people.

 

[Ricci]

Seeing as I don't have a Big W within cooee of here there is no way I'm going to benefit from in store purchases so there goes 50% of my chance of any savings.
Spending $75 on a shop these days isn't difficult as you only have to blink and you've spent $100, that bit doesn't really bother me but missing out on bonus points means that a lot of people are going to have Christmas curtailed as that's what they saved their points for.

 

[Ree58]

on top of that Woolies is now the most expensive supermarket over Coles and Aldi and they have removed the Qantas Frequent Flyer benefits and canceled the Qantas Woolworths Visa Cards. An annual fee of $70 overrides any small rewards they now offer. So they continue to make massive profits and expand and reduce any benefits they offer their customers. I worked for the company for over 20 years and have always shopped there, but no more.
Woolworths group, which includes supermarkets, Metro stores, and Big W, had a total of $33.2 billion in sales for the first half of the 2022/23 financial year, which was a 4 percent increase from the year before.
The supermarket giant's total profits were $907 million, which was up 14 percent on the year before.

 

[sim140]

Staff have also lost their 10% off each month online at both Woolies and BigW.

 

[Rob44]

How many staff have Woolworths lost, sorry, mde redundant, sorry sacked since I first used them 30 years ago. Once upon a time there were check-out chicks AND bag-filler chicks at every til and there were no DIY machines . Then the bag-filler chicks disappeared. Then they came for the check-out chicks and half the tills were not used. Then they sacked the lot and we had to queue to get access to a DIY machine and di unpaid work for Woolworths (and Coles) (and BigW).

Very disappointed with this decision by woolies. At a time when we are all struggling to make ends meet. The increase in the annual fee is quite steep and the same old " pay more, get less" scenario. Woolies you are out of touch. I am re-considering my membership.

 

[TheRockyPeanut]

At least with the opposition rewards you don't have to spend your rewards dollars all at once. I have always questioned this at Woolies, can't just go in and buy 3ltrs of milk when you need it or just a loaf of bread have to spend the lot not fair.

The loyalty cards are a joke. Merely another means to lure the customer into the stores - never used them and never will. In fact, I never shop at either of them and haven't done so for over 10 years. I simply stand on the outside watching the gullible shoppers.

 

[Bridgit]

Because I have our mobile phone with Woolworths they gave me 10% off every month.
Now they tell me I have to shop in store to get it - no I won't be doing that - we shop online because we can't handle it anymore.
My husband has stage 4 Parkinson's and I have had 2 spinal ops and facing another one, so online for us.
As we are rural we can't have our orders delivered so pickup is how we do it - so sorry Woolworths you have just lost me.
If they are going to penalise those of us in our later years for using something they promoted to keep us "safe" during covid and the flu season - shows the bottom line is of more interest and I have told them that in my contact with them.

 

[GranniCaz]

EXCEPTIONALLY Greedy and unprofessional community and corporate behaviour from Woolworths!
Those who signed up to the COSTED loyalty programme did so for a variety of reasons!
1. At Woolworths invitation/incentive ????
2. Families are hurting financially.
3. Elders, immune compromised, working parents and time poor others needed the minimal time and social contact element of online shopping.
Of course loyalties will be redirected and subscriptions will be cancelled; though it would be interesting to see the ethics and legality of this deception legally tested ???

 

[Aussie D]

Once again, the most disadvantaged in our community are discriminated against. I have to shop online, I can't physically get to the store or walk around a supermarket. I have no one to take me or shop for me so people like me already miss out on instore markdowns, struggle to afford delivery fees and so many items essential to me (like their fresh ready-made meals) are now only available in-store. No point me wasting more money on a non-existent "Rewards" program.
It breaks my heart & fuels the feelings of helplessness and desperation when companies like this hold a monopoly on essential services and show no regard for their most vulnerable customers.

Yes we are the same as you and we feel penalised because we are in our 70's and no family around us. Chin up there are more ways to skin a cat and what goes 'round comes 'round.
