ED Rewards Text Verification Code - is it a Scam?

I got a message from "Ed Rewards" saying: "3xxxxx is your verification code. This code is valid for 20min. If you didn't expect this SMS please call 1300 10 1234 (9am-7pm Mon-Fri, 10am-4pm Sat-Sun AEST)." Can someone tell me if the text is a scam?

If you are in Australia - it's from Woolworths. If you share a card with your partner and the account is linked to your email you will get this message if your partner is trying to log in.

That 1300 number is legit

There is something wrong if you haven't done anything to require a veriufication code.
