It wanted to charge me $9.95 for postage

I apologise. Went through to the end and the postage is not charged. Thanks.

hmm didnt get it to work for me :( oh well

Not exactly free though, as it has $9.95 postage and handling fees. I’d imagine they could put this into an envelope and use a 55cents stamp.

It accepts the code but then doesnt discount anything. Thought it does already give me “Free Delivery Credit - Standard (gift)” before entering the promo code so I dunno what’s going on there.

after you input the coupon code, it should appear like that:

Item Description Qty Unit Price Total
Hoyts Super Saver - Monday to Thursday - 1 Ticket - View $10.00 $10.00
Free Delivery Credit - Standard (gift) 1 $0.00 $0.00
Free Gift - Dollar Discount (gift) 1 $0.00 $0.00
Total: $10.00

Go to “Pay Now” and it will apprear as “0”.

Yeah that worked just as you described. Thanks dansor.

Might wait until tomorrow with their free postage deal…

free postage already works

Click here for all items < $10. :)

It’s awesome dansor! It works!

thanks dansor, it works!
Let’s see whether this will become another “Dell” :)

nice find

works for me. Thanks.

Great bargain! But what is meant by “accepted at all Australian Multiplex Cinemas”? Surely they don’t take Hoyts vouchers at my local Greater Union multiplex.

You’re right. AMC is a chain of cinemas. Don’t bother trying to use a Hoyts ticket at a Greater Union cinema.

The list of cinemas the ticket can be used at is listed here. http://www.wishlist.com.au/Product/ProductDetail.asp?SKUID=1...

great find!

sweet. now what to see?

Quantum of Solace :)

worked for me. Thanks for the tips!

Wonder if they’ll come though with these?

Hmm. Here we Dell again.

From Wishlist’s terms and conditions:

“Cancellation by Us

Now..again..what happens if the service/goods are provided free? The payment is their coupon, and if we give them that, wouldn’t that make them bound if they accept the coupon?

awesome!

I love it!

does it works with 10 minute mail?

Thats awesome.
But everyone will exploit it, and they won’t honour it.
That’s the problem with ozbargain.

Not sure whether it is the problem of ozbargain, or the problem with people who exploit it. There are always going to be people who take advantage of sharing sites like OzBargain — be it exploiting the merchants, or buying lots to resell on eBay…

Agreed. Not Ozbargains problem at all, simply information sharing, what ppl do with it, is their business. It is anwell-maintained, well-thought out site Scotty

Oh, I wasn’t blaming the site, I’m plaming the general nature of the way these things work. It’s not the sites fault, but it’s the truth.

SWEET AS, worked a treat cudos!!

I noticed the order numbers going up reasonably quickly for this late at night.

As much as I don’t want it too, this’ll probably go the way of BigGift and Dell because of people hammering the site.

USE 10 minute mail! best way to get free stuff and not give away personal email address

although you have to give away your home/work address so…

thanks man, good stuff

The offer worked for me - thanks dansor!

The option for 1 Ticket is not available any more
so no more free ticket….

yep.. not available anymore…

but the coupon code still works…. i ordered a pack of 2 tickets … for 18$.

and it got discounted to 8$.

Just tried to test it again:

‘NewSubscriber’ is an invalid Promotional Code. Ensure that you have not entered a Gift Voucher / Gift Certificate code (these are entered later in the payment process) and enter a valid Promotional Code

Expired. the Promotion Number is no more.

gone

yep doesnt work anymore. also nothing else under $10 with free shipping.

try the code… didnt work..

Please correct the following error before continuing:

‘NewSubscriber’ is an invalid Promotional Code. Ensure that you have not entered a Gift Voucher / Gift Certificate code (these are entered later in the payment process) and enter a valid Promotional Code

How could I have missed this.??????? I m so addicted to this forum. Was it on ozbargin front page cos that is where i look

Sorry to hear that you have missed out. Yes this is the first item on the front page (at least for now).

Good find, but missed out.

Got a email from wishlist.com.au, says

“We have received your order but unfortunately it has been cancelled as it did not meet the terms and conditions of our ‘New Subscriber’ promotion.”

Has anyone got the same result?

Pffft I signed up while it was still valid and just received this email
Hello,

Thank you for your recent interest in wishlist.com.au. We have received your order but unfortunately it has been cancelled as it did not meet the terms and conditions of our ‘New Subscriber’ promotion.

We understand that this promotional code was recently published online. Unfortunately this was done without our consent and the post neglected to include all terms and conditions. We apologise for any inconvenience but should you have any further issues we recommend you contact the owner or operator of that site directly.

If you paid for any part of your order with a credit card please rest assured that this amount has been refunded in full and this amount will appear on your next or subsequent statement.

Kind regards,

Karyn

Same :(

Same here. I wonder which condition our orders did not meet?
Perhaps I should respond:
“Thank you for your recent reply. I have received your email and have decided to avoid any future possibility of conducting business with you as you have failed to meet honesty standards by declining to honour the ‘New Subscriber’ promotion.
Kind regards,
e_wolfe

I told them it was poor service and asked for the terms and conditions.

same here

yes just got that email

Yeah, I got the same email too. Sounds like a crock!

Same here, just received the email. They are so shifty….

Got the email too.

Why can’t these websites/companies realise the implication of their promo codes BEFORE publishing them. The mistake was theirs, but again, they just pull out the “oops. we’ll just cancel your order then.”

I won’t revoke my vote because it was a good deal at the time.

I received the same email…

They should honour the deal because…..
1. We lawfully accessed the site, with the deal & the discount. It is not like we hacked their site to do all that.
2. drawbacks like these would hurt their business goodwill
3. It is not very nice….

this is rubbish. is there anything we can do about this?

I know I for one am unsubscribing from their newsletter and certainly won’t be shopping with them!!!

Anyone take a screencap of their voucher’s terms and conditions? I tried to access it before I bought, but it wouldn’t load and said the voucher was invalid.

good but missed out

Just emailed ‘Karyn’ about the issue seeing she was pretty vague in her message. There’s no help on Wishlist as to what the conditions might have been for the voucher, so I’m hoping she might tell me.

More info soon people. I encourage everyone to chase up their orders. It might only be a movie ticket, but it’s still what you should be entitled to.

got a email aswell. will chase it up.

“Hello, I was not aware of the terms and conditions of the offer. Please point me to where these terms and conditions have been published.

In the meantime I’d like you to please delete my account, i.e. delete all reference to me, my email address, my name, my phone number and my credit card that you obtained from me under this deceptive promotion. I withdraw any permission I have granted under the Privacy Act for you to have this information.

Please reply to me indicating that these details have been removed from any database or system of yours.

Thanks”

Nice response… can i borrow it and reply it back to them?

Yep, go for your life.

Don’t mind if i copy and paste this and shoot it off to them too =)

i have borrowed it too :)

I got that too, looks like they’re not going to send us free stuff, surprise surprise. :(

Ordered 2 tickets for $8 yesterday, and the order seems to have been despatched already :-) oh well, guess I learned the lesson from the Dell fiasco.

that’s crap, not ordering from them again!

I received the exact same email :-( I was looking forward to that freebie

Lol i laugh at this line,

“We apologise for any inconvenience but should you have any further issues we recommend you contact the owner or operator of that site directly.”

I wonder who Karyn is. It’s like she doesn’t work there or something.

Was it just me or did anyone else see a link to the coupon’s terms & conditions? And when you clicked on the link, there weren’t any defined?

“When the item was checked out, the opportunity to view the voucher’s terms and conditions was presented. Upon clicking this link, it was stated to the effect that there were no associated terms and conditions attached to the voucher. How, if indeed there are terms and conditions, can this be reconciled against your claim that the order did not meet your ‘Terms & Conditions’?”

Exactly. Sounds like their way of trying to weasel out of the deal. Easy to hide behind something you can’t actually confirm. Hence the reason I sent them my email, and have already drafted up a response about the relevant laws (very similar to the Dell fiasco, funnily enough).

Anyone heard anything on this? Still waiting on a reply from our friends at Wishlist.

In tomorrow’s episode of of “Bargains Gone Bad” we continue with our reporting on “Dell Hell” and catch up with Karyn from WishList - this time, on OUR terms and conditions. See you then!

lol
