What’s the tried and true formula for a first date? The best way to catch up with a bunch of your mates? How about entertaining the kids on a rainy weekend? Or killing time on your day off? Everyone’s a sucker for the cinema, and at Village Cinemas there’s something for everyone! From rom coms and chick flicks to disaster, thriller, action and fantasy, take part in Ouffer's Mega Movie Madness Melbourne Launch with $5 tix for the flicks! Plus you get a bonus $5 credit towards future Ouffer deals!
Unlike most Ouffers where you can print the voucher directly, we will be mailing the vouchers to a mailing address that you will provide at checkout. Vouchers will be mailed within 2 weeks of purchase. Only 1 voucher can be purchased per person. Ouffer can be redeemed at any Village Cinemas location. As part of our launch party, we are asking that you share the deal with 3 friends at checkout. Only members in Victoria can purchase and will be sent this Ouffer. Ouffer expires June 2011.

The link I have provided is my referral link. I get $1 in my account for everyone who buys the offer using the link. Help a brother out! And thankyou in advance…

    Can't seem to find info about condition/restriction. Is it valid for no free list, Sat after 5 etc..

    • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 09:44

      The fact that it doesn't state those condition's suggest that legally they don't exist.

      • v1ncent on 26/08/2010 - 11:10

        There are conditions stated on the website:
        Ouffer expires June 2011. Tickets not redeemable on Saturdays after 5PM. Valid at regular cinemas only.

          They must have just added the last 2 lines in. That restriction wasn't there this morning!

            @Obs: Yeh, should've bought them straight away and than see if they try and enforce the restrictions.

            • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 21:03

    you're better off putting the referral link in your desc rather than in the image field

    We're giving you $5 in Ouffer credit for every friend that you refer as soon as he makes a purchase within 72 hours. We want to show you our appreciation for spreading the word and making sure that the group buying power of Ouffer stays strong. The $5 is credited to your account and never expires so you can use it whenever you'd like!

    NOT $1 as you said ?

    • undercut on 26/08/2010 - 09:46

      Nah it's definitely only $1. Here's an email I got:

      Your friend [email protected] just made a purchase on Ouffer. We've sent you $1 in credit for referring him. Keep on sharing Ouffer love!

      And from the website:
      We're giving you $1 in Ouffer credit for every friend that you refer as soon as he makes a purchase within 72 hours. We want to show you our appreciation for spreading the word and making sure that the group buying power of Ouffer stays strong. The $1 is credited to your account and never expires so you can use it whenever you'd like!

      • tinx on 26/08/2010 - 09:49

        yes. my mistake.

        $5 is for Sydney
        $1 for Melbourne.

        Wonder why the difference

        • undercut on 26/08/2010 - 09:50

          Melbourne people have more friends? :D

          • kennyjaiz on 26/08/2010 - 10:32

            @undercut: From what I have read, the deals are:
            a, if you refer a friend to sign up and purchase within 72 hours, you get $5 credit (see link that says "Referrals get you $5" at the top of the screen under "more cities")
            b, if you refer the deal to a friend and they purchase within 72 hours, you get $1 credit
            They have different referral URLs.

            Undercut, you will get more credits if you refer a friend to sign up, and then access the deal. But it's a process to get the new users to navigate to the deal.

  • tinx on 26/08/2010 - 09:57

    Vendor set a maximum quantity of purchases to 1 per account. Please reduce the quantity.

    They should at least allow 2 / acc.
    Now I should refer my wife lolz.

    • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 10:19

      Do it! Go for the $1 credit :p

    • davo_4 on 26/08/2010 - 11:59

      Not many people go to the cinemas by themself! It's a bit lame if they are only offering one ticket!

    "Only members in Victoria can purchase and will be sent this Ouffer"

      wow hate to be all negative and bitchy…

      Edit: and you must have time if you are able to look at OzBargain during working hours…

  • sparkles on 26/08/2010 - 10:50

    Strange order process. You have to make sure you enter your postal address and three referral emails at the end (in the pop up box) in order to complete/finalise the order. I suspect this is going to catch a few people out.

    • amkssg on 26/08/2010 - 14:15

      Most email accounts allow you to place full-stops in your email address.

      Example: If your email address is [email protected]
      You can write your email as
      [email protected]
      [email protected]
      [email protected]
      [email protected]

      It will all end up in your inbox. So instead of spamming your friends, you can just fill in your email 3 times with full-stops in between.

      Got caught out on this as well. Not very happy about having to advertise the site just to get what I had already paid for.

      • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 19:40

        I doubt if you have already paid for it that they would withold the tickets from you.

  • Obs on 26/08/2010 - 11:00

    Has anyone bought the ticket? Did you get your $5 credit back? Mine is still showing $0 credit after purchase.

  • simonk83 on 26/08/2010 - 11:31

    I bought it but haven't gotten the $5 credit, no. Perhaps they'll add it after the deal ends.

  • kelsey2112 on 26/08/2010 - 11:48

    Wow, I got it for just $1! Thanks :)

    • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 12:03

      Elaborate?

    • kelsey2112 on 26/08/2010 - 12:53

      I didnt refer on to anyone. Got $5 credit used $4 of it & it came to a total of $1!

  • swimmingtoad on 26/08/2010 - 12:20

    "You've been credited $5 for referring your friend who just made a purchase an Ouffer!‏"
    You lie, you get $5, not $1!

    • simonk83 on 26/08/2010 - 12:41

      I got $1 for referring someone.

    • undercut on 26/08/2010 - 12:48

      As I explained above, I'm only getting $1 per referral. I would have skipped town with all my ouffer cash already otherwise.

      • swimmingtoad on 26/08/2010 - 13:12

        well you guys are doing it wrong lol

        • amkssg on 26/08/2010 - 14:18

          The reason why you are getting $5 in because you are in Sydney.
          Melbournians only get $1. (Change your city from Sydney to Melbourne, and you would see the value drop)

          • swimmingtoad on 27/08/2010 - 13:24

            @amkssg: Even when i change the city to MElbourne it stays at $5 credit.

    Does anyone know if the movie tickets bought have an expiry date?

    • tomsco on 26/08/2010 - 17:06

      June 2011

  • arcticmonkey on 26/08/2010 - 19:33

    Good deal.

  • moooooooo on 26/08/2010 - 19:36

    I found that when I signed up a new account, I entered 2 tickets as the quantity then was prompted to give a survey response about what I thought of Sydney. I clicked the "back" button in my browser and the 2 tickets held without a problem (the credit card icons appeared, so it was possible to buy them).

    If I changed the quantity from 2 to anything > 1, the message about restrictions to a single ticket applied. I'm not sure what would happen if you entered multiple tickets and then made the payment - it looks like it would go through successfully…

  • Roja on 26/08/2010 - 19:47

    Thanks for the post OP, you've got a referral :)

    Have no idea about the $5 free Ouffer credit coming back but at this price im not concerned

  • tanoshiiki on 26/08/2010 - 21:47

    I got a $5 referral credit too (from Melbourne). Haven't received the $5 they offered as part of the deal though.

    However, I just checked my bank account and it's saying $7 in card authorisation?! Anyone else seemed to get charged more than $5?

    • Roja on 26/08/2010 - 23:21

      Used Paypal and it came out right at $5 so doesn't seem to be an error of Ouffer.

      Do you have a limited amount of withdrawals before you get charged extra? Maybe its that

      • eug on 26/08/2010 - 23:26

        Your post appeared on OZB's main page under "Recent Comments". It only displayed the first few words, i.e. "Used Paypal and it came out".

        I know paypal is gay when it comes to dealing with problems, but….

      • tanoshiiki on 27/08/2010 - 01:25

        I use ING Orange Everyday and I used the visa (debit) option via paypal. Orange Everyday has no withdrawal fees usually… Odd. I'm hoping it's just checking I have enough funds on my card or something and will return the $2 after the check!

        • tanoshiiki on 05/09/2010 - 23:50

          The $7 card authorisation has eventually disappeared. However, I was charged $5.13 in total. Apparently $0.13 for a foreign purchase, despite the paypal transaction record saying $0.00 in foreign purchases. For $0.13, I probably will not bother disputing this fee with ING…

          I have previously disputed $2 previously though (with another bank).

  • dkslim on 27/08/2010 - 15:28

    I bought this yesterday, and paid by Paypal. But the site didn't make me enter my postal address (it asked at one stage, but when I chose to pay by an existing Paypal account that option disappeared)… I'm now worried I won't get sent the voucher. Anyone know how they will post it out to me?

    I have sent Ouffer 2 emails already about my concern, but no response yet.

    • Roja on 27/08/2010 - 17:08

      On the Ouffer's question page they mention that they ask you for an address if it didn't come through the first time, you'll be alright

      • dkslim on 27/08/2010 - 19:23

        OK thanks for the reassurance. I didn't see the question page mentioning that they will ask for an address though - where does it say that?

        • moooooooo on 01/09/2010 - 01:26

          If it helps, both my wife and I who purchased these tickets received an email today advising us they did not have our mailing addresses, so they do seem to be following up if they're missing the details.

  • spam12345 on 27/08/2010 - 20:52

  • dkslim on 30/08/2010 - 01:23

    I sent Ouffer two emails 4 days ago about my purchase, and still got no reply - anybody bought from Ouffer before? Are they legit?

    • tomsco on 30/08/2010 - 08:40

      They've been published on this site before without any scandal, so I'd say they're legit. Possibly a small operation though to cut on costs. I'm sure you'll get an email eventually, and everyone will get their tickets.

    Hi Cherished Ouffer Member,

    We just wanted to update you that all the Village Cinema tickets should be mailed out by Friday and you should receive them early next week! We hope you're enjoying Ouffer!

    Cheers,

    The Ouffer Team

    • ozhunter on 16/09/2010 - 09:48

      ditto

  • swimmingtoad on 16/09/2010 - 11:25

    lol, they really should have said something along the lines of, 'we are SORRY for the delay, but". Not even an apology in the e-mail

  • excite on 17/09/2010 - 22:32

    Just sent them a email to ask for my ticket

    • kelsey2112 on 18/09/2010 - 21:58

      I have done that too but no reply.

      • amkssg on 18/09/2010 - 22:05

        Quoting from the email they sent everyone:

        "We just wanted to update you that all the Village Cinema tickets should be mailed out by Friday and you should receive them early next week! We hope you're enjoying Ouffer!"

        ie. you should receive them in a few days. They have already told you that it has JUST been sent out, obviously they won't reply your email. Still, I am v pissed that they took so long.

        • moooooooo on 18/09/2010 - 22:35

          I don't know about others but I did see an Ouffer coupon the other day I was interested in but decided not to purchase it because I'm still waiting for my movie ticket and feel their company has lost my trust until such time as it arrives.

          Given the number of competitors in their market, it seems unwise for them to have such sloppy behaviour in (1) not delivering promptly and (2) failing to apologise for the delay.

          • kelsey2112 on 20/09/2010 - 17:36

            @moooooooo: I got that email, however am still waiting. I will never buy anything off them again. This is terrible service. This was only valid for melbourn residents, imagine if australia wide could get this we'd be waiting months!

  • Michele on 19/09/2010 - 00:29

    I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY TICKETS OR AN EMAIL. HOWEVER I HAVE RECEIVED 37 EMAILS ASKING IF I WANT TO PURCHASE A TICKET….HELLO YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE ONE, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THAT. I REFUSE TO PURCHASE ANY OUFFER OFFER UNTIL I RECEIVE MY TICKET.

  • arcticmonkey on 21/09/2010 - 16:12

    Still haven't received anything. I bought these in the false hope I would get them within a couple of weeks. Pathetic service.
