- As a koha or gift from a whanau or family member, when they purchase Waitomo Moolah for you as an e-gift card. You can purchase, gift and redeem these e-gift cards, all within the app.
- As a koha, reward or prize from Waitomo, when you make a purchase at a Waitomo Fuel Stop using the app. See section 3 – Thanks from Waitomo.
All Waitomo Moolah earned or gifted to you and yet to be redeemed is shown in your Waitomo Moolah balance, which you’ll find at the top of the ‘Home’ menu in the app. Waitomo Moolah is auto-redeemed when you make an in-app purchase so you won’t ever lose it or forget to redeem it.
