I have queried directly with Woolies as to why we can no longer gain points on the woolies rewards card when getting the discount at Caltex with the Uber app. Woolies stated that because Uber drivers are a business we can not benefit from the rewards card. Therefore when using the Uber app to buy petrol we loyal woolies customers are not able to gain points on our woolies reward card. I have told them that this tight ASS policy has resulted in my decision to not shop at Woolies anymore.
If more drivers were to contact woolies and do the same then we could have a small win. Power to the people. But my experience with the Uber forum is that few drivers, if any, care to stand together to force change. Instead it appears that most drivers are happy to bend over and take it up the (proverbial).
I look forward to seeing the responses here......

Did you really call the underpaid Woolies call centre worker in Manila a "tight ass"?
You're comprehension skills need a touch up. Firstly it was an Australian worker paid much better than we Uber drivers and secondly the call centre staff are not responsible for company policy. So to answer your question: ..... no....

If you shop at woolworths and have reward discounts you save 4c per litre. Question is whether the extra x cents discount you get is worth not getting the points. Until now I have always had the Star Mart stations accept both my Uber discount and my rewards card but they usually make sure they say that I won't get a double discount

I usually use the same station and it seems that only one of the staff has read the notification that Uber drivers can no longer get the Woolies points.
All of the others continue to process if - it’s my wife’s card that I have saved on the Stocard App. I’ll just keep presenting it until it stops.

Not all Caltex outlet are associate with Woolworths. Therefore you can ONLY use Woollies 4c discount and Woollies points on Caltex that is associate with Woolworths. With Uber momentum discount can ONLY be use with Caltex that is not associated with Woolworths.

The Woolworths owned stores never accepted to Uber discount. Star Mart stores were not owned by woolies but before they sold their stores they entered into a 15 year supply agreement with Caltex that saw the Caltex stores accept Woolworths rewards.
I would suspect the Caltex stores see it as being given a greater discount if you use uber so no rewards
