There are three different types of Woolworths gift cards available, and you will certainly be able to find one that suits your own shopping habits. You can read about these cards in this article to get many of your questions answered.

If you have been thinking about getting a Woolworths Wish Gift Card, then here is some information you should know about these cards. They are becoming more popular these days since they can now be used online to purchase items, and you can also buy them online at their website.

You may also be able to receive a $50 Shopping card on a Woolworths Everyday Money Credit Card.

Woolworths Wish Card:

If you are searching for a way to shop that is cost-effective, quick and easy then take a look at the Wish Gift Card. There are no hidden costs or fees with this card and with one swipe you can purchase cosmetics, stationary, finances, electronics, liquor, petrol and groceries, to name just a few.

Essentials card

The essentials card may be used for children’s birthday presents, charity donations, flatmates or for the family budget. It cannot be used at Thomas Dux Grocer stores, any Safeway liquor outlets or Woolworths liquor, Dick Smith, BWS, Tandy or Dan Murphy’s.

Store cards

These are new gift cards available from Woolworths that allow you to shop at Thomas Dux Grocer, Big W, Safeway co-branded fuel outlets, Dick Smith, Caltex Woolworths and Caltex, Dan Murphy’s and BWS. They make shopping much easier and they also make a fantastic gift.

Groceries Only Card

These cards are redeemable in Safeway or Woolworths supermarkets only and cannot be used to purchase other gift cards, tobacco products or alcohol.

If you have been thinking about getting a Wish Gift Card you may have some questions about them. Here are some of the most common frequently asked questions about Woolworth’s cards and their answers.

When do they expire?

These Wish Gift Cards are valid for 12 months which gives you plenty of time to make your purchases. They are activated at the time of purchase and can be bought for any value ranging from $10 up to $500.

How do I purchase one?

To purchase one of these Woolworths cards you just need to look for the card display at participating stores. You can pick one out and take it to the register and then let the employee know how much you would like the card to be worth. You must then provide your payment and this amount will be loaded onto the Wish Gift Card.

Can I redeem or purchase these cards online?

Yes you can do both. They can be purchased online and you can redeem them at the Woolworths HomeShop site.

How do I make a purchase with one?

All you need to do is present your card to the person operating the register. The amount you use to purchase the item will be deducted from your gift card balance. If you go over your balance you will be obligated to pay the difference.

Can more money be added onto a gift card?

Money can only be added upon initial activation of the Woolworths gift card.

Can my card be used for transaction account deposits or credit card payments?

No, they cannot be used in this way.

Can they wish gift be exchanged for cash?

No, no cash will be given for gift cards.

How can I contact someone if I want to talk about my gift card?

You can go to wishgiftcard.com.au and use the contact form to get in touch with them.

What I do if I think the balance is wrong on my wish gift?

You can go to one of their participating stores and ask an employee to help you with your question. You can also contact them via their website at wishgiftcard.com.au. In respect of complaints and errors they may change their procedures and policies, but if any changes do occur any details will be published on the website.

How many wish cards can be used in a purchase?

Most stores will allow you to use more than one card when you are making a purchase. There are, however, selected Caltex Woolworths and Caltex Safeway co-branded outlets that will only permit one gift card to be used for each purchase.

A Woolworths Wish Gift Card gives you the safest alternative to using cash. A lot of people are having trouble with credit card spending these days, and using a gift card ensures that you do not incur the same interest charges that you would with a credit card. It is much safer to use one of these cards than to carry cash around, and it may be time to invest in a few of your own for some personal shopping, or to give as gifts.

    I have never had a card that has expired and not able to have it made re-usable this is the first time this has happened to me and i think it is disgusting you people are just making money and don’t care about it my card is for 40.00 dollars and it is deemed not usable and there has been no transactions on it so how do i get it back i feel this is a terrible way to do business and i will never be purchasing a wish card for anyone again and i will be telling everyone not to do so also

    Absolutely disgraceful that you sell a card to children and put no amount or expiry date on it. To find out it seems you need to ring a phone number. My wife & I have just received Woolworths credit cards. They will not be activated.

    can the petrol gift cards be used to purchase food and drinks when also purchasing petrol

    Hi Bianca

    Thanks for your question

    As far as I am aware, you are able to do this – however, it is best to check with Wish Gift Card customer service.

    Cheers

    Why isn’t there a Law against Gift Cards expiring ? It is pathetic that Cash has been paid for a gift card & yet no goods or services can be redeemed after 12 months. I totally agree, it is disgraceful. I will never buy another one of these cards & hope my friends don’t either. I have previously bought gift cards from a large, more exclusive department store & they honour theirs regardless of when they were purchased. A huge thumbs up and I will only ever buy gift cards there in future
