Where can I use the Woolworths Gift Card?

22 April 2026

The Woolworths Gift Card is a practical and versatile gift that can be used to shop for groceries, fresh produce, household essentials, health and beauty products, and much more. Once you have one in your possession, it's normal to wonder exactly where you can use it and how you actually use it. Can you use it online? Does it work at every Woolworths location? And what about other stores in the Woolworths group? In this blog we explain where you can use the Woolworths Gift Card, how to use it both online and in store, and what you'll need to have ready before you spend it.

Where can I use a Woolworths Gift Card?

The Woolworths Gift Card can be used online and in-stores. Online, you can redeem it at the official Woolworths website, woolworths.com.au.  You can use it to do your grocery shopping from home. Just add items to your cart as usual, and apply your gift card balance at checkout.

Prefer to spend in person? The Woolworths Gift Card is accepted at all Woolworths Supermarket locations across Australia. Whether you're shopping at a large suburban store or a smaller regional location, the card works the same way at every register. It's a straightforward form of payment throughout the entire Woolworths supermarket network.

Can you use a Woolworths Gift Card at BWS?

This is a question that comes up often, and the answer is no. The Woolworths Gift Card can only be used at Woolworths Supermarkets, both online and in store. It is not accepted at BWS, even though BWS is part of the broader Woolworths Group.

If you're looking for a gift card that works at both Woolworths Supermarkets and BWS, the Everyday WISH Gift Card is the right option. This card is accepted across a wider range of stores within the Woolworths Group, making it a more flexible choice for those who shop across multiple Woolworths-owned retailers.

How to use the Woolworths Gift Card online

Using your Woolworths Gift Card online is straightforward. Here's how to do it step by step:

  1. Go to woolworths.com.au and add the items you'd like to purchase to your cart.
  2. Proceed to checkout when you're ready to complete your order.
  3. At the payment step, look for the gift card payment option.
  4. Enter your gift card number and PIN. Both can be found in your gift card email if you have a digital card, or on the back of your physical card.
  5. Apply the gift card to your order. If your balance covers the full amount, your purchase will be complete. If not, you can pay the remaining balance using another payment method.

It's worth checking your balance before you shop online so you know exactly how much credit you have. This makes it easier to plan your order and avoid any unexpected surprises at checkout.

Using the Woolworths Gift Card in stores

The Woolworths Gift Card is accepted at every physical Woolworths Supermarket throughout Australia. Here's how to use it in store:

  1. Shop as you normally would and when you’re ready head to the checkout.
  2. When it's time to pay, let the cashier know you'd like to pay with a gift card, or select the gift card option at a self-serve checkout.
  3. Scan the barcode on your digital gift card or present your physical card to be swiped.
  4. Enter the pin, either under the scratch off panel on the back of the physical card, or in the same email you received with your card number.
  5. The balance will be deducted from your gift card automatically.
  6. If your gift card balance doesn't cover the full amount, you can pay the remainder with cash, card, or any other accepted payment method.

Using the card in store is quick and easy, and you can be assured the process is the same at every Woolworths Supermarket location across the country.

What do you need in order to use the Woolworths Gift Card?

Before using your Woolworths Gift Card, make sure you have the following ready:

Your gift card number. This is the unique number linked to your card. For a physical Woolworths Gift Card, you'll find it printed on the back. For a digital card, it will be included in the gift card email you received at the time of purchase.

Your PIN. The PIN is required when using the card online. On a physical card, it's typically found under a scratch-off panel on the back. For e-gift cards, the PIN is included in the same email as your card number.

The gift card itself or access to the email. In store, you'll need to either present the physical card or show the barcode from your digital gift card on your phone or a printed copy. Make sure your phone is charged if you're planning to use the digital version at the register.

If you're unsure about your balance before shopping, it's worth doing a quick balance check online at the Woolworths website or by asking a team member in store, so you know exactly what you have available to spend.
