Woolworths credit cards update in 2023
Credit card issuer Macquarie has announced that it will no longer offer Woolworths credit cards. Between June and August 2023, existing customers will have their Woolworths credit card replaced with a Macquarie Platinum Credit Card that earns points through the Macquarie Rewards program.
A Woolworths spokesperson told Finder: "We'd like to thank our credit card customers for their loyalty over the years and remind them they can continue to get great value offers they had with their credit card, including the bonus 10% off their monthly shop, through being customers of our Everyday Extra program, Everyday Insurance and Woolworths Mobile products."
We've kept other details about Woolworths Credit Cards below for reference. You can also compare a wide range of rewards credit cards available on Finder right now.

Benefits of getting a Woolworths credit card
10% off at Woolworths once a month on selected dates
Each month, you'll receive an email offer for 10% off your shop at Woolworths when you scan the barcode on the back of your credit card and pay with it. This offer is available for spending up to $500, which means you can get a maximum of $50 off your shop. Keep in mind that this offer is not available in Tasmania and also excludes spending on certain items.
Everyday Rewards
If you link your Everyday Rewards account with a Woolworths credit card, you'll earn Everyday Rewards points when you shop at partner stores and scan the membership barcode on the back of your credit card before paying. This is in addition to the Qantas Points or credit card points you earn when paying with your credit card.
Earn more Qantas Points when you spend
If you're a member of Everyday Rewards and choose to earn Qantas Points instead of Everyday Rewards points, you'll get 1,000 frequent flyer points for every 2,000 Everyday Rewards points you earn. Apply for the Woolworths Platinum Qantas Credit Card and you can also rack up Qantas Points per $1 spent on all eligible purchases.
50% off selected wine cases at Cellarmasters
If you buy a selected white, red or mixed case online and pay with a Woolworths credit card, you'll get 50% off the regular price. Note that delivery charges still apply.
Save with up to 10% on Woolworths Insurance
Use your Woolworths credit card to pay for a new Woolworths Car, Home, Pet or Travel Insurance policy to save up to 10% on the cost.

Hi Kat,
Thanks for your question.
You may refer to our list of joint credit card accounts to know which institution allows you to apply with joint primary cardholders. You may also want to enquire with your employer about the Woolworths Employee Credit Union.
I hope this helps.

Please advise interest rate on balance transfers to an existing everyday rewards Qantas credit card. Thanks
Hi Brian.
Thanks for your question.
If you elect to transfer a balance after the card has been activated, you will currently receive the rate of 5.99% for 6 months. Please check with Woolworths before completing a balance transfer as rates can change.
I hope this helps.
My Woolworth credit card does not work anymore. It failed just before Christmas and now I have to use another credit card.
Is it possible to send me a replacement credit card?
Regards
Trevor.
Hi, Trevor.
Thanks for your question.
You will need to contact the Woolworths customers service team and request a replacement card. There will be a fee for issuing a replacement card. The fee is greater if you wish to get urgent card replacement.
I hope this helps.
This card has just revoked the ePump system.
The Internet banking website does not allow future payments, only immediate payments.
There is no smartphone app; the HSBC app does not work.
Hi André.
Thanks for your comments. We appreciate you taking the time to inform us, and the other users of this site, about your experiences with this product.

We’re also in the process of incorporating mobile banking into our comparisons and reviews, so please watch this space.
Regards.

What is the new address for the Woolworths credit card?
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your question.
HSBC is the underwriter for Woolworths credit cards. Woolworths does not have an address listed. Please contact the Woolworths customer service team for an answer to this question. Alternatively, if you’re looking for information on how to pay your Woolworths credit card bill, you can either pay via BPAY or direct debit.
Cheers,
Jacob
