The Commerce Commission has filed criminal charges against Woolworths NZ for alleged inaccurate pricing and misleading specials that may have breached the Fair Trading Act.

The commission filed the charges against Woolworths in the Auckland District Court.

It indicated in December last year that it would be filing separate criminal charges against Woolworths and two Pak'nSave supermarkets.

At that time, the commission said there were ongoing issues with pricing in the supermarket sector and the operators may have breached the Fair Trading Act.

Nice, I didn't know about that!

we have also been advised that some users are using this tool at countdown and woolworths, two supermarkets in new zealand. they have been scanning these codes in place of an "everyday rewards" card. please do not do this, it is probably in violation of woolworths or everyday rewards' terms of service. if you choose to violate their terms of service, they may invalidate any points accrued using this tool.

lol, reminds me of all the piracy and DRM evading stuff that is "for educational use only".
