We will be giving away free doughnuts from the new range to customers who have previously visited, or hold passports from, Italy, Argentina, Mexico or England. To relive their travel memories through taste, customers can go into a Krispy Kreme store until Friday 15/07/2016, show their passport or stamp to receive an Around the World doughnut. Full Terms and Conditions here.

The new donut flavours include a tiramisu one with coffee-flavoured truffle icing, a Dulche de Leche one, a Caliente Chilli Choc featuring smooth chocolate and a kick of chilli choc crème (yum!), and a quintessential British English Raspberry Scone one.

The offer is available at any of Krispy Kreme's 18 stores in NSW, VIC, WA and QLD (not in any SA stores, 7-Elevens, BPs or Jesters).

    How will the staff identify passport stamps is the real question.
    Does a stamp of the UK count as England? How will they identify an Italian EU stamp, most EU stamps look the same.

      Does a stamp of the UK count as England?

      UK stamps will have the name of the airport you arrived at (eg. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, etc) so any airport in England will presumably suffice. Stamps from non-English UK airports (e.g. Edinburgh, Belfast) would be another matter.

      How will they identify an Italian EU stamp

      EU stamps have a country indicator in the top left (e.g. Italy will have an "I") as well as the name of the airport/train station which you arrive at.

      • dasher86 on 06/07/2016 - 09:11

        I know this, you know this. Will the staff be trained on this?

        • jjjaar on 06/07/2016 - 09:27
          +3

          probably not so if you show any stamp and then say "nah its in XX country" they probably won't care enough to fight you.

        • abb on 06/07/2016 - 09:30

          The potential loss due to scammers (with EU passport stamps that falsely claim them to be IT or EN) is very likely less than the cost of training staff in the intricacies of passport stamps…

        • dasher86 on 06/07/2016 - 09:31

          @abb:
          yes but this means the deal is essentially open to everyone.

          @dasher86: Not everyone is gonna bother… you and me both know that. Whether you and me want to try (with or without a stamp though) is up to us, but can you seriously imagine telling someone who doesn't have a stamp from those countries trying to get a free Krispy Kreme?

        Sucks if you got a European passport and been to Italy and the UK many times but never got a stamp %)

      How will you trade info? They are not recording your passport or visa stamps.

      • altomic on 06/07/2016 - 09:03
        +19

        Ummm, with their retina implanted cameras to photograph your passport and then steal the information from the hidden chip using the card reader inserted in their hand.

        Then using facial recognition software they'll search their central memory core to find the last time you went there and will then take your CC details and add it to the extensive database file they are creating on you.

        Then, when you hand over your passport they will extract any of your dead skin or bodily fluid from the outside of the passport (when excited by the thought of free donuts we will sweat more , especially in our palms). The sample will be taken and our DNA sequence will be worked out.

        Next, they'll copy your fingerprints from the passport as well.

        With all that information they will create an exact clone of you and then theyll have that clone rack up 1000's of $$$$ in donut purchases.

        Profit.

    We want to give our customers a new type of food and travel experience, so they can taste the world in their day-to-day lives, without having to leave Australia

    By limiting the promo to people who have travelled to these countries how are they giving a new experience? Also I'm not going to take my passport out just for a free doughnut…

    I'm just going to wait for the Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Macau and Thailand flavoured ones come out. I have stamps for those.

    But basically it's a stupid marketing stunt. So I need to have spent a few thousand dollars going overseas to a designated country and some gawd awful yeast ring dispensary is going to give me a consolation prize bastardisation of some countries national desert and in turn pushing obesity levels even higher…

      Why would the thought of spending a few thousand dollars to get a stamp cross my mind? Not very Ozbargain of you.. your net profit would be like -$2000 (maybe -$1000 if you get lucky during a sale). And no point deducting the cost of the donut, because by the time you return, the deal would've expired already.

    I'm pretty sure a VISA stamp is different to an ARRIVAL stamp… Italy and England do not require visas for tourist visits (on Australian passports), only for longer stays or business. Not so sure about Mexico and Argentina. And if they do need visas, often electronic and no longer stamped…

    • lainey13 on 06/07/2016 - 14:13

      It says 'VISA' stamp in this deal but the terms and conditions and KK website only states 'stamps'. Not 'visa stamp'.

    • callum9999 on 06/07/2016 - 11:07

      You wouldn't get stamped within Schengen no. Though an EU stamp + explanation will surely suffice? It's just a free donut, I'm sure the staff aren't that concerned!

    Just grabbed my free donut from KK in Swanston St, Melbourne. The staff didn't even know how to put it through the system, but they're aware of the promo and just bagged the donut and handed it to me.
    They didn't take a close look at the stamp in my passport either - I think if you had anything from Europe you could probably say it's from so and so airport in Italy.
    For the record, I had the English donut (went through Heathrow airport a few years back). Delicious.
