Delivery Unlimited faces major blow after another Everyday Rewards cutback
Woolworths has axed a major saving point for Everyday Rewards members, the second within a fortnight.
Delivery Unlimited customers will no longer receive double rewards points to their Everyday Rewards accounts from June 1.
Delivery Unlimited is a $15 a month subscription which gave customers free delivery on same day or next day orders of $75 or more.
Shoppers were notified of the change via email, and took to social media to protest against the changes.
'I signed up for a 1 year subscription for every day rewards just to have then (sic) email me this plus remove the 10 per cent of Big W. What a joke … have emailed them back wanting a refund as they cannot keep up to their side of the deal,' a customer lamented online.
A Wooloworths spokesperson said Delivery Unlimited is still a great service for shoppers.
'Our Delivery Unlimited service continues to be very popular with customers and with an unlimited number of deliveries for $15 per month or $119 for an annual subscription, it provides great value and convenience to customers,' the spokesperson told NewsWire.
'We are streamlining Delivery Unlimited to focus on the primary benefit for subscribers which is providing timely and convenient delivery.
Direct to Boot will also become a complimentary service for members.
'As such we are removing 2x Everyday Rewards points from the program. Instead customers will receive three months complimentary Direct To Boot Now which offers Direct To Boot pick up in less than 60 minutes. Direct To Boot Now normally costs $5 per order.
'We believe Delivery Unlimited still provides compelling benefits to subscribers. However if anyone would like to cancel their subscription they can do so by contacting our customer service team.'
This comes after Woolworths rewards shoppers threatened to cancel their memberships after the major supermarket axed a Big W discount.
From next month, Everyday Extra members will no longer be able to claim 10 per cent off their Big W purchases once per month.
'We're writing to let you know that, unfortunately, from Sunday June 1 2025, the BIG W monthly ten per cent off discount will no longer be part of the Everyday Extra benefits,' an email to customers said.
'Thanks for being an Everyday Extra subscriber and we hope you'll continue enjoying great value from your subscription.'
Shoppers flocked to social media criticising the supermarket and threatening to cancel their subscriptions.
Yeah, I've just cancelled my subscription. Second reduction in benefits in a year without reduction in cost/replacement of benefit,' a past customer lamented.
'This is ridiculous. It's my second year paying for this service … this current subscription year has been terrible. I don't even get to spend X amount for 4 weeks to get X amount of dollars,' one shopper wrote.
'Woolworths are definitely trying to get their money's worth and not for us now. Will look into Coles rewards,' another commented.
The changes will heavily impact families who use the rewards system, especially around holiday seasons to stretch their dollar a little more.

Australia and the European Union determined to seal trade deal as talks revived
Australia and the European Union have revived talks for a sweeping free trade agreement as the Albanese government aims to respond to a "rapidly changing global environment" on tariffs. Australia's trade minister Don Farrell met with the European Commissioner for Trade Maroš Šefčovič met on the sidelines of a summit hosted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris on Wednesday, local time. "Both Australia and the EU recognise that now is the time to strengthen our economic partnership, and we're working through the remaining issues to try and finalise the deal," Mr Farrell said. A pact with the region was "about building economic resilience in a rapidly changing global environment," he added. It came as US President Donald Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports on Wednesday, leaving America's trading partners reeling from the fresh uncertainty. Mr Sefcovic told journalists "we believe we can achieve substantial progress this year" on an EU-Australia free trade deal, after negotiations have been on ice since 2023. Australian officials could not put a solid timeline on when a pact would be signed, but agriculture is believed to be one of the sticking points. Australia has previously offered to put the removal of its luxury car tax on the table but wants greater access to European markets for lamb and beef exports. However, some big meat-producing EU member countries like France have reservations about opening the bloc's markets to potential major competitors like Australia. Such concerns are also holding up talks with South American countries. The advantages of an EU deal include increased investment, stronger supply chain links, education ties and export opportunities, Mr Farrell said. Earlier on Wednesday, the United States set a deadline for countries to send their best offer in trade negotiations. In February, Mr Trump raised steel and aluminium tariffs to a flat 25 per cent "without exceptions or exemptions", in one of his first moves to aid the struggling domestic industries. The tariffs would apply to millions of tonnes of steel and aluminium imports from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and other countries that had previously been able to enter the US duty-free. On Saturday, Mr Farrell, said that Australia's messaging throughout the upheaval has been consistent and clear. "These tariffs are unjustified and not the act of a friend," he said. Asked what leverage Australia might have to pressure Mr Trump into changing course, Mr Farrell reiterated the government's position that it would not be in Australia's best interests to retaliate. "We're going to coolly and calmly argue our case for the removal of these tariffs," he said. "They don't do what President Trump claims they will do, and we believe that free and fair trade requires [their] removal." ABC/Reuters

Aldi sued for stocking ‘confusingly similar packaging' to famous snacks
The supermarket of choice for those on tight budgets is being slugged by a potentially devastating legal case. We've all walked past a couple of dubiously named brands that look very much like the original in Aldi's snack isle. But now those cheaper options are being put under the microscope as multinational corporations put the foot down. Snack maker Mondelez, the company behind Oreos and Ritz crackers, has launched legal action against Aldi's US arm, accusing the discount retailer of stocking 'blatant copies' of its iconic biscuit brands. The case claims Aldi's private-label products bear 'confusingly similar packaging' that could mislead shoppers and damage Mondelez's reputation. The company has requested a court order to block Aldi from selling the products in question, alongside a claim for monetary damages. Side-by-side comparisons submitted in the lawsuit show visual similarities between Aldi's chocolate sandwich cookies and Oreos, both featuring blue packaging with near-identical cookie arrangements. Similar comparisons were made between Aldi's Golden Round crackers and Ritz, both wrapped in red boxes with blue and yellow accents. Mondelez alleges it repeatedly warned Aldi about the likenesses. While the retailer reportedly adjusted or withdrew some packaging, others remain on shelves. Aldi, which operates more than 2500 stores in 39 US states and 600 in Australia, has not commented publicly on the case. Known for keeping prices low by selling mostly in-house brands, the German-founded chain has faced similar legal challenges over its private-label packaging in several countries in the past. In Australia, Aldi was found to have infringed copyright in a 2023 case involving children's snack brand Baby Bellies. The court found some of Aldi's Mamia puff products too closely resembled the benchmark design provided by the brand's licensor, Hampden Holdings. Evidence included internal correspondence acknowledging the resemblance. However, Aldi prevailed in other claims involving rice cakes and has appealed the ruling. Elsewhere, Aldi won a 2018 appeal in Australia against Moroccanoil Israel over similar packaging claims related to haircare products, while in the UK, a court sided with cider brand Thatchers in a dispute over bottle design.
