Woolworths confirms return of Qantas points to Rewards program, at half the earn rate
Woolworths has confirmed its about-face by announcing that it will once again offer shoppers Qantas points after customer outcry when it dumped the airline from its loyalty scheme earlier this year.
But shoppers will earn just half the Qantas points they could under the previous scheme although a minimum $30 spend has been removed from requirements.
The retailer will give shoppers points for every dollar spent at Woolworths as part of Woolworths Rewards and will allow points to be converted to Qantas points.
The move represents a significant turnaround for Woolworths in the face of anger from members under the old scheme who complained about being forced to buy specific items to earn points and no longer being able to earn Qantas points.
Qantas points at half the previous rate?
Will these clowns ever learn?
How do these morons keep their jobs?
I predict that their lack of strategic skill will see them aping the likes of Aldi and others who know what retail is all about.
Beats getting 0 Woolworths dollars per shop I suppose, I have stopped using my card out of principle. As the type of shopper who does a small shop every few days, the $30 minimum being removed benefits me. How many Woolworths points will you get per dollar spent though? If only 1 point per dollar, you will need to spend $2000 to get $10 off..
I stopped shopping at Woolworths when the Qantas points were stopped. I cannot see why Woolworths are again reducing the reward points. My shopping habits have not changed in terms of frequency. Where is Woolworths getting their customer information from? I have been shopping at Coles since but their points system is not that special either. Coles did improve their airline tickets company choices – which is all I spend my points on. The array of goods offered to purchase however are rubbish. Qantas points were better value for air ticket purchase. Coles customer surveys are often much longer to complete than they suggest. Not worth the points rewards for completion.
