We hope you can find the answer to your question here:

1. Do WISH Gift Cards expire?

Manage My WISH Gift Card or by calling 1300 665 249. Expired cards can not be redeemed or reactivated.

2. What is my WISH Gift Card PIN?
Your PIN can be found on the back of your WISH Gift Card. It is a 4 digit number and is required when viewing your Gift Card details online or accessing them via 1300 665 249 and when making a purchase with the WISH Gift Card.


3. How do I know how much money is left on my WISH Gift Card?
You can check your Gift Card balance at
Manage My WISH Gift Card, by calling 1300 665 249 or at a participating store, just ask a staff member to assist you.

Woolworths apologies for any inconvenience.


6. How do I activate my card?
WISH Gift Cards are activated at the time of purchase at the register in store. If your card is not activated there may have been a problem with your WISH Gift Card being activated during the time of purchase.

In order to help you with your enquiry we will need proof of purchase for your WISH Gift Card.

If you do not have proof of purchase we will need the following information:
the store that the card was purchased at, date of purchase, time of purchase and amount of the card so we can investigate it in our system.



7. What do I do if when my WISH Gift Card is swiped in the EFTPOS terminal a message stating 'Bad Read' appears?
It may be that the magnetic stripe on the rear of your card has become demagnetised. If you visit the customer service desk within a Woolworths / Safeway Supermarket or BIG W store, and speak with a service supervisor, they can transfer your available balance and expiry date onto a new WISH Gift Card.

8. Can I use my WISH Gift Card at participating CALTEX / Woolworths Co branded fuel outlets with my fuel savings voucher?
Yes, if you have a fuel savings voucher you can use this at a participating CALTEX / Woolworths Co branded Fuel outlet to receive your savings on fuel purchase and pay the amount owing using your WISH Gift Card (at CALTEX Woolworths Co branded fuel outlet WISH Gift Card participating stores)

Take a WISH Gift Card to any register in-store and let the register operator know how much you would like to charge the WISH Gift Card to (between $10 and $500). The register operator will then request payment. Once payment has been processed they will load the requested value onto the WISH Gift Card.

If the purchase is more than the value on your Gift Card you will need to pay for the difference between the balance on your card and the purchase amount using another form of tender.
