It’s official: from June 22, you’ll be able to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points on your Everyday Rewards card.
There’s been much speculation about how the scheme would work, but Qantas is now emailing cardholders confirming the start date, that you’ll earn 1 point for every dollar over $30 in a single transaction, and that the deal only applies to Woolworths and Woolworths Liquor. As such, it’s an expensive standalone way to get a flight, but a useful way to supplement your points total.

I’ve been trying to login to the website to link my cards up for an hour with no luck – must be swamped. A bit of a joke it can’t handle the load.

Before you merrily sign up for a Woolworths Everyday Rewards card, take note of the fine print that says they are entitled to sell your marketing information to 3rd parties.
If they were offering a Frequent Flyer point for every dollar, maybe I’d consider selling myself like that — but only for a point for each dollar above $30 — forget it.

JJJ – from the Everyday Rewards customer charter, off their site:
“We do not give your personal information to any organisation outside the Woolworths Group for their marketing purposes. We will share some of your personal details with other organisations that help us administer the Everyday Rewards Program, for example our printing and mail house. These organisations are required to protect your information and privacy in the same way Woolworths does – and we check that they do.”
No third party use there?

Question: what’s the big deal if someone like Woolies knows about my demographic data, shopping habits, etc (outside of maybe the aforementioned “pesky” telemarketting phone calls)?
Obviously, I draw the line on financial information, but I don’t really care if companies know I’m a 36 y/o male who likes to eat Wheatbix.

I rarely spend much more than $30 at safeway, so an utterly useless deal for me.

It actually also will cover Big W, BWS, and Caltex-Woolworths: Great news for car drivers, Big W shoppers and people who enjoy a good quality bottle of wine!

I just linked the two cards. Dead easy.
As for the conditions? I doubt that I’m really making any more information available for linking than I already have by taking up the WWth card in the first place. Yes, the reward conditions are a bit tight – but every little bit helps when you’ve got a family travelling, and the very existence of that family will probably mean that most of our shopping adventures cost WAY more than $30!

Hi Christine, linking Everyday Rewards cards is purely to share fuel vouchers and this does not extend to Qantas. Each person will be treated as an individual by Qantas and will need their own Qantas membership to collect points. You will only be able to collect Qantas points against the
Report Permalinkspend on your card and not the linked cards.
Your husband will be able to link/register his Everyday Rewards card with Qantas (for
free) and collect points if he does his own shopping in Woolworths/Safeway.
If you have any further questions please feel free to visit the Everyday Rewards blog http://bit.ly/15lLzm (Full disclosure: I work with Woolworths on this Blog! Thanks, Sue)

Hi, i work at the Qantas frequent flyer service centre and honestly, this deal is the BIGGEST JOKE!
Report PermalinkIts the worst partnership deal we have! thwe only reason woolies wants to do this is to force people to spend more than $30 each time they go.
Going about it this way you may be eligible for a flight in the year 2025!
PROS: If you havent already joined the FF Program, use this as you get to join for free waivering the 82.50 fee.
The whole FF program is totally useless unless you have alot of money going through your credit cards or fly alot. People are so dumb. They pay for these special Qantas Credits cards( anz etc) and enver realise the annual fees they pay virtually pay for any reward the average person could get in a year!
Your all suckers !
There is no such thing as nothing for nothing !

I would like to say how disapointed I am that Tasmania has been left out of this offer. Its interesting that we have Woolworths here in Tassy but now find out that we are not considered important enough to be included in the Qantas FF program. WHY WHY WHY – I wont be shopping with woolworths anymore

Qantas is perhaps the only remaining airline in the that does not already offer a free frequent flyer programme.
Furthermore Qantas are a dreadful carrier. Compaired to many other carriers with fresh young staff, aircraft and world class service, Qantas is third world.
Do try other carries such a Singapore you will then discover how awfful Qantas really is. Often paying more for far less.
