Unreliable app

Useless app! Signs itself out but no email received to reset password (many requests).
Waste of time and effort & when app did function the local IGA system unable to read user barcode. Had to be entered manually.
Totally Disappointing. Get it right before promoting it

Poor rewards system

I appreciate the rewards after spending $100 You get one dollar off your next shop however this is a really floored and low reward system. Additionally constant inconvenience of having to login to the account takes too much time while I’m already at the checkout. I’ve installed this app as it’s absolutely deficient

Requires mobile number

Mobile number required to create account = unacceptable

Account support without logging in.

App needs support for logging in. As no support contact details.

Nice

Good app the cash back system is really good

Doesn’t display receipts properly

App is great however it cuts off the dollar amount off the receipt, therefore still have to asked for paper receipt.
Also a download function for receipt would be handy for competitions or tax purposes.

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience with the receipt display. You'll be pleased to know that we’re currently working on adding a printable receipt feature in a future update, which should help for competitions, tax purposes and record keeping. Watch this space, and please make sure you keep your app updated to the latest version to access new features as they become available. 😊

Won’t recognise the card I was issued

I picked up the card in store and despite trying multiple times and verifying with others that I was entering the right number, it will not recognise our card. Can’t really see a reason to keep the app

Rewards

App will not let you create a new account

Login issues

Despite many attempts - not able to log in.

Login each time sucks fix it

I would use it a lot more if I didn’t have to login every time I use it… not convenient in a busy register situation. FIX IT SO WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOGIN EVERY TIME
FIX IT PLEASE

It takes a lot of money to get points

Hi, I appreciate the rewards system however, it takes a whole bunch of money to get anything in return! I’ve spent thousands upon thousands over the years at my local IGA, for little in return. Also, my local IGA more than not, overcharge for many items!!! The price on the register, is not the price on the item or it is a different price, usually cheaper! Almost everyone in Morris Street, Innaloo know to check their dockets! This is no way to run a business or treat your local clientele!

Hi Love my furbaby, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this would be, particularly as a long‑standing customer. The IGA Rewards app was launched in April 2025; however, please note that IGA Morris Street, Innaloo is not currently a participating IGA Rewards store, as all IGA stores are independently owned and operated. To find your nearest participating IGA Rewards store, please visit: https://www.igarewards.com.au/stores. We appreciate you raising concerns regarding pricing discrepancies. Prices scanning differently to shelf labels is not the experience we want for customers, and we’ll ensure this feedback is passed on to the store for review. We encourage you to reach out to us directly quoting reference number 49482, so we can look into this further and assist where possible. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue to improve.

Unoptimised in every way!

Can’t scan card mid transaction.

Can’t scan rewards card on every POS (forcing slow manual entry of card numbers).

Never feel like any benefit comes from scanning my rewards card (unlike Woolworths or Coles).

Additionally, it might be better not to have a such a poorly implemented rewards card system. Scanning rewards cards just adds to employee time (pushing up costs). And development and marketing further increases costs.

ALDI doesn’t have a rewards system and instead has cheaper pricing.

Hi Jamiel1234, we appreciate that you may not be used to a rewards program like IGA Rewards, but unlike some other programs where you earn pointless points, IGA Rewards offers IGA Cash back, money that you can use on future purchases. To learn more about how IGA Rewards works, head to: www.igarewards.com.au.

Lame!

They’ve got nothing on Woolworths or FlyBuys. Most stores don’t have scanners. Attendants rarely enter rewards correctly. They cherry pick items they want to flog & overall it’s not worth the time. Overpriced goods, underfunded tech, just way behind on the game!

Annoyed

I’ve downloaded the IGA Rewards app. I’ve signed in. I can’t see nothing because I can’t get past protect your wallet and I’m getting very annoyed how can I get past that?

Phishing

Hand your details over to register, but rewards don’t scan at POS… they’ll take your details, but you get no rewards.

Doesn’t work for me

If this app only applies to some IGA stores then no info was given to the user beforehand. It simply would not find my local IGA, 500 metres away. It also would not accept my registered Rewards card number that I have had for 10 years and which works at the check out. Total time wasting exercise. Stay away.

Hi aleoca118, there are currently over 900 participating stores across Australia, however some stores are still in a transitional period of being onboarded to the new IGA Rewards program. Once they are online you should be able to update to your local store in the app. If you have any issues, please feel free to reach out to the Rewards team via the app by going to "More" and then "Support". Or you can reach out to us at service@igarewards.com.au We hope that helps and that you have a great day.

Useless

Every time I try to login in either rewards or normal app it doesn’t recognise my password and asks me to create a new password then it still won’t let me in it’s so frustrating my passwords are saved in my up to date 16e iPhone. If it doesn’t get fixed this time I’m deleting both and using shopping apps that work.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your valuable feedback. We would love to gather more information from you on this matter. Could you please reach out to us at service@igarewards.com.au so we can discuss it further? We look forward to hearing from you about this.

Could be so much better

The app relies on you to link their card to your credit card to receive benefits if you choose not to because of obviously security risk you therefore rely on the shop assistant to accurately type in your 13 digit customer number and when they don't you don't its waist of time perhaps someone else is recieving all my points 😔

Why

It seems like a great idea but the app always logs me out and I can’t get back in. I havto reset my password frequently which is frustrating. Just tried again and “an error has occurred”.

Poor

Quite possibly the worst online registration experience I have ever had.
