A young Aussie has shared how he flies for free using Woolworths rewards points. 

An interviewer from business admin app Solo by MYOB asked everyday Aussies to  their biggest tips were to save money.

One savvy shopper said he was earning Qantas frequent flyer points using the Woolworths Everyday Rewards scheme.

‘I pretty much buy gift cards for everything at Woolworths and then you use the rewards points to pay for all your international travel,’ he said.

‘You don’t pay to fly, it’s pretty good.’

Everyday Rewards is a customer loyalty program owned and operated in Australia and New Zealand by Woolworths Group.

Members can earn points in the program when they buy goods from Woolworths, Big W, BWS, MyDeal, Everyday Market and partners Ampol and Origin Energy.

Qantas Frequent Flyer program members can convert 2,000 Everyday Rewards points earned into 1,000 frequent flyer points as part of a partnership between the two companies.

Fellow TikTokkers pointed out that the man received double the amount of Woolies points for the same amount of money through the hack. 

‘Wait. So, if I buy gift cards and use my rewards points. Then buy my groceries with the gift cards I can use my rewards points again?’ one wrote.

Others confirmed it to be true.

‘Scan rewards card when buying a gift card, scan rewards card when using a gift card to buy groceries, (then) get rewards points twice for the same money,’ one wrote.

‘This has just changed my life,’ another said.

The Woolworths Everyday Rewards program regularly offers bonus points on selected gift cards but not most.

But when the offer is on, customers could get 10 or 20 bonus Everyday Rewards points per dollar spent on eligible gift cards.

Generally, 1,000 Qantas points are worth around $20 when redeeming for flights.

Frequent flyers can currently book a flight from Sydney to Singapore in business class for 68,400 points.
