7 January 2026: Woolworths is kick-starting the year with a massive rewards season, launching a series of competitions that offer customers multiple ways to win cash, gift cards, and even one of four new electric vehicles.
The centrepiece of the rewards blitz is the Back to School JAECOO Giveaway, which will see one JAECOO J5 EV given away every week for four weeks.
Running from Wednesday, 7 January 2026, to Tuesday, 10 February 2026, the JAECOO partnership is the ultimate Back to School reward designed for busy parents.
To enter the draw to win, customers simply need to:
Spend $20 or more on any participating Back to School brand products in a single transaction, AND
Scan their Everyday Rewards Card at the checkout.
Rhonda Ma, Woolworths Category Manager said: “We understand that the start of the year brings a long list of school supplies, and after the busy holiday period, parents deserve a reward.
“By partnering with JAECOO, we’re making it simple: just spend $20 on participating brands and scan your Everyday Rewards Card for a chance to drive away a new car — helping Aussie families start the new school year on the road to success.
"This big giveaway is one of many offers we have available to help shoppers win at Woolies as we start the new year, delivering value right across the store - from health and drinks to cleaning and Back to School essentials."
The Jaecoo J5 EV is an all-electric SUV combining modern design with family-friendly practicality. The vehicle has a range of around 402km on a single charge and can recharge from 30% to 80% in 28 minutes via DC fast charging.
It features a tech-rich cabin with a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and pet-friendly synthetic leather upholstery. It also includes a suite of advanced safety systems such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and forward collision warning to keep the family safe.
Roy Munoz, Chief Commercial Officer OMODA JAECOO said, "At Jaecoo, we design cars for real life, and for many Australian families that means the school run, after-school activities and everything in between. The J5 EV has been built to make everyday driving feel easy, with plenty of space, smart features and a comfortable interior that suits busy family routines. Partnering with Woolworths on Back to School is a natural fit, because it’s all about supporting families during one of the busiest times of the year.”
