Woolworths phases out MySchool and WRewards as MyDifference reshapes customer loyalty 15.06.2026

IOL

Woolworths has discontinued its WRewards and MySchool loyalty programs, replacing them with a new, integrated platform called MyDifference. This strategic shift, representing one of the most significant changes to its customer engagement in over two decades, aims to enhance customer loyalty through data-driven personalization and digital engagement. MyDifference consolidates information from various Woolworths services to create comprehensive customer profiles, enabling tailored rewards and experiences. A key feature is the expanded "Give Back" function, offering customers greater visibility into how their spending supports charitable causes. The platform emphasizes digital interaction via the Woolworths app, reducing reliance on physical cards and aligning with sustainability goals. With over 3.4 million active members, Woolworths is betting on this unified approach to deepen customer relationships and drive future growth by combining personalization, convenience, and social impact.
