Christmas Club

What is it?
A club to help you save for a great family Christmas at The Warehouse.

Pick up a Christmas Club card from any checkout, deposit a minimum of $5 and then add money to your card during the year. Once you’ve joined, we’ll encourage your savings by not allowing you to spend the money on your card until Christmas. In December you can spend the money you have added to your card at any Warehouse store and receive 5% off the purchases you make on the card.

WIN! Sign up to our Christmas Club direct debit for $5 or more per week and you could win your share of $60,000 from March to May 2010. Click here for more details.

Using the card

You can use your Christmas Club card to buy any product at The Warehouse, or The Warehouse Pharmacy during December. The only exclusions are using the card to make lay-by payments, lay-by deposits, finance payments or to purchase prescription medicines. The discount applies to all the products being purchased and is calculated after all other discounts have been worked out. Balances cannot be refunded or exchanged for cash.

Any money left on the card rolls over to be available the following year. The balance on the card expires after 24 months of no activity (top ups or redemptions).

The 5% Discount
The 5% discount will apply to any purchases made using the proceeds from your Christmas Club card (excluding medicine and lay-bys). For example, if you purchase $100 worth of goods using your Christmas Club card, you will receive a $5 discount on your purchase (i.e. it will only cost $95). Note – if you pay for your purchases with a mix of Christmas Club money and cash (or other tender) you will receive a discount based on 5% of the purchases paid for using Christmas Club money.
