Almost 800,000 Everyday Rewards members have banked their points for Christmas, with over $100 saved on average, per member
Wednesday 13 November, 2024: The Christmas and Black Friday sales period is set to begin with over $85 million in Everyday Rewards points banked to spend over Christmas, unlocked today.
This year, almost 800,000 Everyday Rewards members have chosen to bank their points to spend over Christmas, an increase of 14 per cent since last year. Members have banked on average $104 to spend.
Everyday Rewards members will also be able to use the points to take advantage of Black Friday. Last year, almost 20 percent of Everyday Rewards members redeemed their Bank for Christmas savings on Black Friday deals at BIG W, Woolworths, Healthy Life and My Deal.
Everyday Rewards Managing Director Hannah Ross said Bank for Christmas is a great money saving tool for members: “We know Christmas can be an expensive time of year and Bank for Christmas is a great way for Everyday Rewards members to collect points on their everyday shops, banking the dollars for when they’re needed most.
“Black Friday is an important sales period for our members to start their Christmas shopping and we have unlocked Bank for Christmas early to help our members boost their budgets.
“This year we have also introduced more ways to help our members collect points,for example through partnerships with Accor and Westpac Altitude Rewards and added places to redeem their points through Petstock and our new Everyday Rewards Shop, helping to deliver a lot more value every day to our members.”
Last year, over $82 million Everyday Rewards points were redeemed over the Christmas period until Jan 1. Members used their Bank for Christmas dollars to purchase:
276,000 punnets of strawberries

Note to Editors:
Everyday Rewards Managing Director Hannah Ross shares her top tips for saving money this Christmas:
Black Friday Boost: With Bank for Christmas kicking off in time for Black Friday, look out for Black Friday Deals to maximise discounts and help your Everyday Rewards points banked go further.
Create lists: Look out for upcoming specials at Everyday Rewards’ partners like BIG W, Petstock and Woolworths and boost offers in the Everyday Rewards app before you shop.
Bank your Everyday Rewards points for Christmas: Opt in and save points throughout the year for a festive bonus.
Sign up to Everyday Extra: Everyday Extra subscribers collect 2x Every Rewards points and get 10% a Woolworths and BIG W shop once a month, saving up to $100 every month.
Use the Everyday Rewards app: Boost personalised offers and discover deals on your favourites before you shop. Members who boost offers, collect on average 5x more points compared to those who just scan their card.
Pace yourself: Avoid the last-minute shopping rush and opt to buy non-perishables, freezer-friendly food and gifts earlier on in the season when they may be on offer.
Group effort: It can get overwhelming keeping track of what needs to be done so divide shopping duties with friends and family to reduce the load.
