The men allegedly ransacked several rooms before entering the 81-year-old's bedroom and waking her.
The woman said the pair threatened to kill her if she didn't hand over her cash and jewellery, but she refused to give them anything.
The men escaped, but not before stealing the woman's handbag and purse.
Police said the woman's credit cards were used at service stations in Roxborough park, Coolaroo, Broadmeadows and Campbellfield to buy cigarettes and gift cards.
