ITS BACKKK - the Australian Electoral Commission is giving away a free $10 iTunes voucher to everyone who uses their "The Spotters' Guide to Unenrollers" Facebook app.

Confirmed to work, but needs mobile number and can only be used once.

If you got a code after 1 hr or so, answer the question, enter the mobile number and enter the code you got, enter your email and PRESTO!

    They've set it up so you can come back later if your text is taking a while. Now have my $10 :)

  • smarter_fool on 28/08/2012 - 09:59

    Can confirm it is still working. Waiting for my unique code …. :)

  • verisimilitude on 28/08/2012 - 10:29

    i've waited almost an hour but still no sms.

  • EarthMan on 28/08/2012 - 10:30

    My entry 10 hours ago has produced no codes yet. I re-attempted again 30 minutes ago.

  • t25 on 28/08/2012 - 10:34

    third attempt. hoping for it to come thru

  • cloud68 on 28/08/2012 - 10:43

    it is still working!!!! everybody at work and their wifes got it!!! Hurry guys….

  • dorothi_toto on 28/08/2012 - 10:49

    can someone please give me the link for the app. I can't see it at all on their FB page (it's gone) and i've tried in 3 different browsers. I've got the code but cannot find the app to enter it in.

      Did you click like? Every thing is still working. The Spotter's App thing is right next to About, Photos etc. It's around the top. Also try Internet Explorer if nothing else works.

  • BelLikesABarg on 28/08/2012 - 10:52

    I just got it, text msg only took a minute :) :)

  • PleasureMe on 28/08/2012 - 10:58

    I just tried on Google Chrome and could not get it to work, so I tried it on IE and it worked straight away.
    The question I got (which is missing from the list) is:
    Q: Who struggles to keep a secret?
    A: The status storyteller

    I have a question, can I use this $10 voucher to buy apps? Or is it just music/tv/movies/books.

    • cloud68 on 28/08/2012 - 11:02

      yes you can

  • cminez on 28/08/2012 - 11:11

    It's working. Thank you.

  • PleasureMe on 28/08/2012 - 11:12

    Does the iTunes voucher ever expire?

      some people say it's 2 years but apple's official stance is:

      Be sure to sign in to the iTunes Store on a regular basis to update your credit count since your credits may expire. […] To refresh your visible credit balance, sign in to your account in the iTunes Store. Your updated credit amount appears next to your account name.

      i've never gone so much as a week without purchasing anything so take what you can from that. :/

  • boomerpro on 28/08/2012 - 11:15

    no luck. sigh. I think i've spent way more than $10 worth of my time on this, boss is not going to be happy…

  • phrank on 28/08/2012 - 13:00

    Surely more than 2000 people have claimed this by now :S

  • Gidget on 28/08/2012 - 14:29

    Not expired. This is still working. I just redeemed a code right now! Thanks OP.

  • CuteBirdy on 28/08/2012 - 14:51

    After getting the code, can we undo certain things like remove the app (for privacy), without getting the code revoked?

    • Marrk on 28/08/2012 - 14:52

      There is nothing that they can do, if you unlike the page and unsubscribe from text messages, after receiving the voucher code.

  • pbywater on 28/08/2012 - 15:06

    Just used it, sent me a code, all worked fine.

  • CuteBirdy on 28/08/2012 - 15:13

    Is there any expiry on the code? I have no idea what to use it for right now… is it safer to hold onto the code until I need it, or apply it to the account immediately?

    Can the credit be used towards hardware purchased from the Apple store?

    • superforever on 28/08/2012 - 16:03

      No only for buying apps or music on itune store.

  • unco on 28/08/2012 - 15:28

    I used the app last night but didn't get a code so just let them know via a PM on facebook and they got back to me with a code.
    Woohoo!

    • superforever on 28/08/2012 - 16:04

      Just PM them and waiting, hope they will give me one.

      Hasn't received the SMS last night.

  • 247thesteven on 28/08/2012 - 15:42

    App was working for about 30 minutes just then, now on their Facebook like page it doesn't seem to show it anymore :(

    • Sage on 28/08/2012 - 16:29

      You're kidding. :(

    • boomerpro on 28/08/2012 - 16:35

      he's kidding, i can see it right now.

      • 247thesteven on 28/08/2012 - 17:39

        Nope not kidding, after school got home, check my phone and they sms me the code, entered it on Facebook and worked perfectly :)

  • CyberMurning on 28/08/2012 - 16:52

    i got it !!!.. just incase there is no jailbreaking anymore then i will use this hahaha

  • lusicul on 28/08/2012 - 17:22

    Got the code but can't enter, kept getting error message. Anyone having the same problem?

  • bobdane1 on 28/08/2012 - 17:26

    Got my code last night, but couldn't get back onto the code page. Came back today, answered the question again. Was able to put the code in and get the voucher.

  • CuteBirdy on 28/08/2012 - 17:45

    Surely more than 2000 codes have been given out already? And more are still being given away… I hope the AEC is not overspending, for taxpayers' sake.

  • Ching ching on 28/08/2012 - 18:37

    tried the app just now, got the message and email in a minutes. haven't tried the itunes code they gave me. fingers crossed it works.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2012 - 18:46

    Still working!!!!

  • seanbaussie on 28/08/2012 - 19:06

    6253 clicks through ozbargain for 2,000 vouchers. And it's still working (just got it for my wife, instant receipt via voda). Someone's going to have to pay a lot of tax to make up for this!

  • sleazy on 28/08/2012 - 19:09

    Still working :)

  • fedex11 on 28/08/2012 - 19:12

    Anyone have problems with getting the voucher after receiving the code? I got the code but when I entered it into the column and clicked 'OK, send', it just got stuck and wouldn't move from there. Any suggestions? Been trying and reloading and redoing a few times.

    • lusicul on 28/08/2012 - 19:26

      Same problem, when I tried again it says "this mobile number has been used by other facebook user"

  • ifixa on 28/08/2012 - 19:22

    Still working :-) as of 7:20

  • easternculture on 28/08/2012 - 19:58

    Still working in this minute.

    But I am out of mobile number and facebook account :p

  • superforever on 29/08/2012 - 10:32

    Really finished this time as they posted on FB.

  • slingyz on 29/08/2012 - 11:33

    Thanks OP.

    I got one too!

    • superforever on 29/08/2012 - 11:54

      You mean just now or before they closed this morning?

  • t25 on 29/08/2012 - 14:12

    all three attempts no go.

    • singhsta on 29/08/2012 - 15:51

      did you try fb messaging them with your details? try that im sure they will help

      • t25 on 30/08/2012 - 00:20

        yeah i did, but im still waiting (understand they are probably flooded with complaints now)

  • Chuppa on 29/08/2012 - 14:15

    All done, all over - app removed from their site.

  • sheikyerbouti on 02/09/2012 - 07:46

    Pity. Sent them a FB PM early morning on 28 Aug saying I have entered my number but no SMS arrived.
    No reply.
    Sent another PM on 1 Sept.
    They reply on 2 Sept saying "Sorry, it's now finished, you missed out." If their system failed to send you an SMS you can't get the offer.
    Doesn't worry me - I haven't lost anything, just failed to gain anything, but I hope that they are more responsive for tax enquiries!! :)

    • t25 on 02/09/2012 - 11:04

      interesting i didnt receive any response too. wondering if i should follow up, and if i do, will i get the same response.

    • nismo on 02/09/2012 - 18:44

      I'd suggest NOT sending your tax enquiries to the Australian Electoral Commission, that would almost certainly take longer. Try the ATO instead: Australian Taxation Office :-)

  • DEvok on 03/09/2012 - 18:13

    I pm them in 28, and today, asked if I pm them… And again told them I did, as I was posting my new pm to them! Bloody waste of time for only $10, could earn it faster at the casino! Lol

    • t25 on 06/09/2012 - 21:07

      yeah looks like they have closed up and stopped giving them out. even if you put your details you can miss out. nicely played. time to head to casino
