    Can you use the '$12 Groupon Credit' to buy another '$12 Groupon Credit' ???

        I might miss a bargain.

    • kvince on 17/03/2014 - 00:27

      It just might work. I'll try it in 3 days.

      yes you can, just did!

      • jv on 17/03/2014 - 00:44

        So you can get infinite free movie tickets ?

          How did he buy it when the credit won't be available until 3 days later?
          Edit: @jv, it is not free when you at least have to pay for the first one… Might end up $0.0000001 per ticket but not free still.
          Edit2: sorry, I see the grouon credit as worthless as sometimes they gave me free $10 and I couldn't find what to buy.

        • mad__llama on 17/03/2014 - 00:49

          "limit 2 vouchers per person"

          you can sell the $12 credit (or what you buy with it) to recoup your investment when you are sick of watching movies.

        • huntress_love on 17/03/2014 - 01:25

          i had referral credit which i used. it's limited to 2 so can't buy infinite amount.

          but would be good if you use this deal to refer friends. extra 10 for you.

          it has short expiry so better decide if you want to buy anything with the credit first.

      I didn't even get asked to put in my number upon check out, anyone else experience this?

      Sounds like you don't find their selection of deals palatable

  • danielh on 17/03/2014 - 07:53

    Having the groupon credit valid only to 31 March 2014 is a bit of a killer for me as the very short decision time limits my choices to whatever is available during that period.

    That being said, I'm sure some OzBargainers will post some good alternatives for us.

  • muncan on 17/03/2014 - 08:41

    Every time you sign up for Hoyts Rewards for $10 you get a free movie ticket.
    No booking fees.

    • tomleonhart on 17/03/2014 - 08:53

      You also need to pay $10 for some "information pack".

      • muncan on 17/03/2014 - 09:09

        I signed up again yesterday for $10 for a free movie ticket.
        Not sure what you mean by paying for an information pack.
        Use a disposable email address when signing up.

        • aussiedogga on 17/03/2014 - 09:13

          It means you paid money for a free movie ticket.

          This is available any time and there's no booking fee. Nevermind.

        • gilbarc on 17/03/2014 - 10:09

          You paid $10, which is not the same as "free".

          But, but… $10 < $12
          </facepalm>

  • Aap Ke Papa on 17/03/2014 - 08:47

    i am unable to recommend to earn $10? would anyone know the fix?

  • unity1 on 17/03/2014 - 09:36

    So in 3 days time you can buy another $12 Hoyts movie ticket using your $12 Groupon credit. So effectively you can purchase 2 x Hoyts movie tickets for $12 which is a great deal. Next cheapest option would be purchasing through Optus Movies which would cost $20 for 2 tickets.

    • wtfnodeal on 17/03/2014 - 10:29
      +1

      There is a risk involved If they are sold out before you receive your credit. Better think of something you might want to buy first otherwise you will just spend the credit on some junks before it expires on 31 March.

    • mtjz on 17/03/2014 - 11:58

      I don't think you are able to purchase the Hoyts movie tickets again using your Groupon credit because there is a maximum of 2 tickets per account.

  • coin saver on 17/03/2014 - 09:52

    Did anyone buy 2 in one transaction and get 2 different comfirmations ?

    • coin saver on 17/03/2014 - 11:39

      Just recieved a special offer from entertainment book $11 lol.

  • danielh on 17/03/2014 - 09:56

    Can you apply 2 or more vouchers to one transaction on groupon? Basically if I buy 2 plus 2 sets (myself and my wife), can I apply all four vouchers to a single largish purchase?

    There are actually two questions implicit to my statement above:
    1. Can I apply two vouchers that I purchased to an item => than $24
    2. Can I use a voucher someone else purchased?

    Would be good to know as I don't want to buy these vouchers and discover in forced to buy four items to use up the four vouchers.

    Regards
    Daniel

    • roughana on 17/03/2014 - 10:46

      $12 Groupon credit will be available in your account

      1. Can I apply two vouchers Groupon credits that I purchased to an item => than $24

      I would expect yes. As it is credit.

      1. Can I use a voucher Groupon credit someone else purchased?

      No.

      1. Can I use a movie voucher someone else purchased?

      Yes

      • georgedn on 17/03/2014 - 15:39
        +1

        In my experience, Groupon does not let you redeem more than one code per purchase.
        That way, they force you to spend more money by having to buy more than one deal.

        • roughana on 17/03/2014 - 17:06
          +2

          This is not a code that needs to be redeemed. This is credit that is available to offset the cost at checkout.
          However, this may be what you mean, and I have not had two credits available to apply before, so my expectation may be incorrect.

        • danielh on 17/03/2014 - 22:21

          Yeah thanks for your thoughts guys, that was my conundrum. If I get two $12 credits, I might be 'forced' to get two things and end up paying a lot more for something I don't really want just for the movie tickets. If I could just roll them all up then great, just go and get that one $48+ item and be done with it, with just $12 to apply, well, there were not too many things at that price point I really wanted. :-(

      In the HIGHLIGHTS section under the deal, it mentions that it is valid for all sessions, 7 days a week.

  • spriggy on 17/03/2014 - 17:53

    Just so that I'm clear (and for everyone's benefit as well), if I get 2 x Hoyts for $24, I still get $12 credit right?

    • PissLUR on 17/03/2014 - 18:19
      +2

      2x$12 credit.

      • spriggy on 17/03/2014 - 21:27

        Good to know, thanks for that clarification.

      • m2000 on 17/03/2014 - 22:02

        But can you that 2x $12 for one groupon deal (not likely)? Anyone tried?

        • huntress_love on 17/03/2014 - 22:32

          i think you can, not show when it changed but previously i could only use one lot of $10 referral credit, but just last week i had 2 lots and was able to use $14 to offset the purchase and had $6 left over for next time.

          So if it works as referral credit i think you can use both.
          I'm guessing it'll need to be on the same account and can't use some else's credit on the one purchase of $48+.

  • audz on 17/03/2014 - 23:36

    One possible option to prolong the credit is to use it to buy a $50 Groupon gift card. Not sure if that would work.

    http://www.groupon.com.au/deals/national-deal/groupon-goods/…

    If it does work, this means spending more, so will be useful only if you do intend to spend $50 on Groupon by the end of the year. Potentially $50 for $50 groupon gift card and 2 X Hoyts tix.

    • coin saver on 23/03/2014 - 11:12

      yes this does work, i also checked with them before doing this what happens if you do not use the whole voucher in one purchase,apparently unused money will convert to store credit

  • DEvok on 18/03/2014 - 07:35

    • Gorodemon on 19/03/2014 - 09:25

      • abacus on 19/03/2014 - 17:20

        Credit goes into your groupon account so shouldn't depend on your phone number. I am still waiting. Lotta BS.

          credit will be available in your account three business days after purchase.

          This deal was posted on 17th, so assuming you bought it on the day, then you still have a day to wait. Patience grasshopper.

        • abacus on 20/03/2014 - 02:42

    The credit expired at 12.01am today, but should be valid until the end of today.
    I called Groupon customer service and they acknowledged that this was a problem.
    They indicated they would re-instate the credit with expiry date of 7th April. However they said it would take 12-72 hours to appear on the account.

    • Neoika on 31/03/2014 - 18:52

      Same here.I contacted them via online form.Hope they will re-instate it.

        yeah they did for me. rectified within 7 hours of contacting via online form.
