MOD: We have been contacted by the marketing company representing Cadbury in this promotion, who have requested to have this "deal" removed, as using extract of the voucher is fraudulent, which we agree with. The barcode was only given to the participants of this Coles competition, which everyone can participate.

We have now removed the barcode. Please do not share it on OzBargain. For more details on this removal request, see this page.

Scan the linked coupon (MOD: File removed) at the checkout for $1 off Cadbury products.
Cadbury Medium Bars 30g-60g are 50% off this week.
Total comes to $0.00. Confirmed working by me.

Coupon originates from entering this competition and is not unique. You can enter the competition now to retrieve your voucher instantly (will be emailed to you).

Pro tip: The new FlyBuys readers bolted to the top right corner of the screen on the self-checkouts are CCD-based readers capable of reading barcodes off phone screens.

The coupon will scan as a $0.01 item, the total will go up to $1.00 and it will come up with a message saying that approval is required. Press pay now, wait for the assistant to come over and the total will drop down to $0.00 (unless you're buying other stuff).

Voucher valid for a single purchase from the CADBURY confectionery range via Coles or Coles Express outlets. Includes CADBURY Blocks, Sharepacks, Bitesize, Bars, Gifting or Pre-teens (Caramello, Freddo, Chomp, Curly Wurly). Excludes Cadbury Easter range. No refunds if product is less than $1.

      "They've got two Coles in the same centre fairly close to each other (one used to be a BiLo [R.I.P])"

      Another place this applies, for any interested Victorians in or traveling to the area, is Northcote Plaza. There's an awesome/huge park 'attached' to that plaza too (it's seriously large), so the whole 'mission' is very kid/family friendly. If I had three young kids who would find the 'epic free chocolate mission' fun, and 1 cat, I'd go to Northcote Plaza with 16 printed vouchers, the three kids, and $12.80 in separate 80-cent lots… I'm sure you get the drift from here (the cat stays home, but DOES get bought a lot of 80-cent cans of cat-food that day). The cat-food you would've bought anyway/keeps forever, and the $32-'worth' (RRP) of different bars is free. Then we all go to the park, and laugh ourselves silly.

    can you use these with normal staff…for example just produce voucher and go to every member of staff? or would only self service work for this

    • imissbeans on 06/02/2015 - 09:32

      You could do that as long as they know what they are doing but if they start asking other staff members what this coupon is then likely they will recognise you at different counters which may look a little sus. But still worth a try! And probably worth to try at different times of the day. I wouldn't recommend trying to get more than a 1 to a few bars with each staff at a time otherwise you will really stand out!

      Re this:

      "Coles staff, please check that customer ID matches the following name: xxx xxx."

      The actual image that downloads to print, when you download it to print it as instructed, does not include this directive to 'Coles Staff'. I assume this is because it would be ridiculous/unworkable to have the self-checkout staff checking IDs, like gimps at a night-club or sommat'!… So don't worry. Proceed as usual, with the minimalist version of the printed voucher (consisting of just the bar-code/number, and the "$1 off Cadbury" slogan).

  • InfraRed on 09/02/2015 - 22:33

    I got told the following today:

    1) These are only available at Coles Express
    2) I had to buy the confectionary range, and that Cadbury Medium bars are not included
    3) I needed to print out the whole email in its entirety. No email, screenshots, or partial printouts are allowed

    I gave up trying to argue with the elderly people at Coles, so moved on to another store where they allowed me to claim my free bars.

    • cooni on 11/02/2015 - 23:09

      You probably already know but the text at the bottom of the voucher states:

      Voucher valid for a single purchase from the CADBURY confectionery range via Coles or Coles Express outlets. Includes CADBURY Blocks, Sharepacks, Bitesize, Bars, Gifting or Pre-teens (Caramello, Freddo, Chomp, Curly Wurly). Excludes Cadbury Easter range. No refunds if product is less than $1.

        • t25 on 12/02/2015 - 15:14

          @Scrooge McDuck: totally agree. I don't understand why anyone would upset a customer over such a small item.

          I had one keep mumbling "so not worth losing my job over" over and over again. Makes me wonder if there was any communication from Cadbury or even Coles head office

      • GnarlyKnuckles on 20/02/2015 - 04:06

        "Third point fair enough."

        I think not. When you download the voucher via the email they send you, as they instruct you to do, i.e. so that you can print it and use it, it doesnae include your name or any of that crap about the staff-member checking that your ID matches the name; only the actual voucher/barcode/number is downloaded.

    • daydream on 12/02/2015 - 00:40

      Was also annoying when the checkout operator accepted the voucher, it added the 1c which Coles stupidly has in their system for vouchers but didn't automatically take off the $1. The operator then tells you the total, you stand there puzzled wondering what key you need to tell the operator to press to get the real, final total while the queue builds behind you.

      Anyone know what key they need to press to finalise the transaction and factor in any coupons (for next time, so we customers can educate the staff)?

      You might be able to try a Freddo or caramello koala, they might just cost over a dollar. At my local coles, the caramellos are $1.05 so 5c isn't bad. They are 45g. Haven't tried it yet but should work, will report back if I have a chance to try.

          @t25:

          "A physical piece of paper is often worth "more"…"

          Wise words… a 'real' picture (on paper) can be worth 1000 words/characters on a 'transient display'… I guess the (admittedly somewhat outdated) logic is that it's pretty hard to 'hack' ink on a piece of paper.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2015 - 23:35

      Does 99c bar + 1c from scanning in the voucher count as $1.00? As the min total is $1 before the voucher can be used.

          Are you buying just one item in your transaction? If so, try not to get one bar/item and then ask for it free. Retailers won't like that for some reason ;-) If at one store, could be that a customer p1$$ed off a store manager so they might be try to manually enforce the $1 t&c

          Buy with another item(s) you need or use self-serve. Psychology of trouble free bargain rules apply…

          @daydream: yes. just the 1 bar. why buy anything else i don't need when i already did my main grocery shop before. it's just pandering to what the retailers want and hoping they'll show mercy when you claim your freebie lol.

          most don't have a problem, some even thought it was quite amusing. i don't think it's got anything to do with store manager/customer politics — it's just down to that individual who looks down on anyone legitimately getting an item for free. and believe me, i've claimed enough freebies from various places to know That Look.

          @tdw:

          I wouldn't buy anything I didn't need but I prefer to make it easy for myself rather than waste time with a debate at a checkout. Easy enough given the number of items people buy and number of times they go to a supermarket these days. Applying the same logic you suggested above re: printing and using colour. We know the psychology and how these things can play out ;-)

        • tdw on 19/02/2015 - 01:34

          @daydream: it's no guarantee that you'll be making it "easier" for yourself. it's all down to which checkout op you get.

          and it's different with the printing, as i pay far, far less for a sheet of A4 b&w than it would for me to buy something i don't need at coles. not everyone has the same spending habits and i certainly spend enough money at coles as it is.

        • GnarlyKnuckles on 20/02/2015 - 04:31

          @t25:

          "thats a new one. telling customers there is a minimum spend."

          When using EFTPOS or a CC in small or remote businesses, throughout the last 30 years or so, many have specified a minimum spend of ten clams. Many still do, to this day. It is by no means 'a new one'.

          If you're talking about cash transactions though, then I suppose the operative word is "SPEND"; i.e. they are suggesting that you have to spend something, if you want to walk out with something. They are suggesting that it would be silly if you were allowed to walk in with a huge box of voucher print-outs, and methodically clear their shelves of every Cadbury product priced at 99 cents, without actually SPENDING anything.

          Of course I could be wrong, but I suspect that is along the lines of their thinking.

        • t25 on 20/02/2015 - 09:20

          @GnarlyKnuckles: this is coles we are talking about. from my experiences coles have made it a requirement to spend a minimum sum before being able to use a particular payment method, or to even leave the store.
