Earn 10x Everyday Rewards points per dollar spent on $50 and $100 Vanilla Visa gift cards when you buy them in-store at Woolworths between 21 Jan and 27 Jan 2026. Limit of five gift cards per day.
This offer is completely worthless because it excludes the $25-500 variable load Visa gift cards. If you buy the $50 and $100 cards that are included, you will at best earn $5 worth of points for a $5.95 purchase fee.
Before they started excluding the variable load cards you could load one with $500 and earn $25 worth of points for a fee of just $7.95. The last time the $25-500 cards were included was back in Dec 2024.
At the same time, Coles have continued to run much better promotions on Visa and Mastercard gift cards produced by the same company, InComm Payments, suggesting that it’s Woolworths who are responsible for these stingy offers.
If you’re disappointed with the changes they’ve made to these gift card promotions you should send your feedback to Everyday Rewards.

I know that many people consider a threshold ‘cents per point’ in determining if an offer is beneficial .. but there is another measure of value .. the cash equivalent comparison. So in this case a return business class CR seat to Europe would be 332,600 points or 666 of the $100 cards at the cost of $5.95. So if you could buy that many cards you’d be paying less than $4000 for return business class to Europe , at around 1/2 or less of the cash price.
It isn’t free but if the alternative is paying cash it seems a reasonable deal.
You’re forgetting taxes, fees and carrier charges which would bring the total cost of the reward flight closer to $6,000. There are return business class flights to Europe you can find for around that price in cash. They might not be on Qantas or Emirates but at least you won’t have to spend $70,000 and manage hundreds of gift cards.
Your response is based on the assumption that GCs are the only source of collection, which you know is not the case. Every point counts, I am not supporting this is a good deal, but at the same time, it could be worth for someone just needing that extra boost to their QFF.
As much as I agree with your comment and I dont mind losing $1 on every $100, these Vanilla VIsa cards are very hard to use, they dont work half the times online and in person always need an additional layer of security by signing.
Vanilla Visa gift cards that expire in 2030 or later support PIN verification.
Many Woolworths stores (as well as Coles, Reddy Express and The Reject Shop) appeared to remove Vanilla Visa gift cards with 2029 expiry from sale in late 2025, so the Vanilla Visa gift cards sold through this deal should support PIN verification. I have myself used PIN verification on a Vanilla Visa gift card with 2030 expiry (and you choose your own PIN, just like Coles/Vanilla Mastercard gift cards).
great deal
buy buy buy
you joking
Do category choice gift cards work to purchase these?
Not at Woolworths.
I think saying bad offer isn’t worth it anymore this is how it’s going to be
agreed. havent seen the $500 card of any kinds(visa,etpos) included in the promo for a while
