20/8: As many of you are wondering where your claim validation is being 10 days now, it has been confirmed that they have been a little overwhelmed with claims and will take an extra 5 days to catch up. Also 32 free pods appear to be on their way.

Lavazza currently has a cash back promo on their pod machines until 6/9/15.
The Minu is collecting $50, Target currently selling for $49 (EDIT: Some stores are now selling at $24.50) (normally $59) so technically you can profit $1 (or $25.50) on these.
Still $49 at my local Target as of 14/8.

Like printers they love to make their money from the consumables so entry price is low, but ongoing can be high. Think the pods run about $10-$12 for 16. They are a nice compact unit though, so I grabbed one to keep as a backup if my automatic machine dies. (Cheers to my bro for spotting the special)

Some important info as per the T&Cs:
"Cash back of Lavazza A Modo Mio Minu White Capsule Machines are only available from Target and Dick Smith" so no price matching elsewhere on these ones.

Also the cash back form hasn't been updated completely from the last promo, and after submitting will tell you that its outside the (previous) valid date range but it goes through OK. You'll receive a confirmation e-mail and Lavazza state they will notify you of your claims validity within 10 days. (This has also been confirmed here)

It has now also been confirmed that multiple claims are ok

Not currently available online but should be plenty of stock across Target stores (although is listed under Clearance on Target website so may vary).

Update: Some stores have an extra 25% off clearance items, hence the $36.75 price tag. From the comments so far these are:
TTP SA
Highpoint (low stock)
Adelaide CBD (low stock)
Northland
Merrylands
Innaloo
Miranda
Sunbury (2 left, opened boxes)
Craigieburn (low stock)
Plenty Valley
Armadale

and now it seems some even have it @ 50% off:
Morley

No stock left at:
Tuggeranong
Knox City
Melbourne CBD
Hurstville
Rockdale
Warringah Mall
Caroline Springs
Camberwell
Doncaster
Waverley Garden
Macquarie Center
Parramatta
Airport West
Robina
Forest Hill
Bankstown
Castle Hill

Any more, let me know.

Register your machine here to receive 32 free pods. Thanks Chris

    None left at Forest Hill Vic, except for what's on hold for Ozbargainers out the back…

    One empty box at Bankstown NSW, no machine!

  • imcold on 08/08/2015 - 16:17

    One left at blacktown display missing cord and the lid for the water thing. Comes to 36$ so it still a profit I decided to pass on it

  • pinnacle on 08/08/2015 - 17:41

    Thanks OP. Picked the last one at Castle Hill, NSW., $49.

  • iSamurai on 08/08/2015 - 19:00

    Thanks for posting this amazing deal and tips from everyone.

    I went to Target Mt Ommaney QLD this arvo. There were still about half a dozen left on the shelf. They scanned at $49 each. Sticker price was $59. I went to the checkout, asked the staff member if they would be able to match Target Robina QLD (as posted earlier by a few members) for $24.50. She said she would have to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor then called her manager on the phone, who after a long conversation agreed to price match.

    I had to show the Ozbargain thread on my phone (lol)… and I overheard the conversation on the phone: "it appears that some people are just posting stuff on the internet saying it's $24.50", "there has been three, four customers today already coming to ask about this", "Robina can't sell their stuff at half price because they're overstocked", "$49 is already quite a good deal" etc.

    Yeah but in the end I got it! I think they will be looking at changing the price back to $49 again quite soon…

    Bought my minu at target Adelaide. Was $49, had some sale on so was reduced to $36.75 and because it was display stock, they took a further 10% off. Lol. If this $50 cash back comes in, they just paid me $17 to take it home. Hahaha

    Thanks guys for this awesome post. I bought from Target Riverlink Ipswich this afternoon 49$ and plenty still remaining. Still in the box till confirms cash back (LOL). Also claimed for free pods!! What a great bargain shopping today!!

    PS: Beware that Woolworths sell pods for 11$ per box, while it is 12$ in target!! Any idea for cheaper pods?

    • Neoika on 09/08/2015 - 10:09

      Also as an experiment, I tried refilling a used pod using the same method here:
      http://www.instructables.com/id/Refill-Used-Nespresso-Capsul…

      First up I tried some coffee from some old L'OR nespresso capsules I found in the back of the pantry (that were best before in 2014). It worked out pretty well, this Lavazza machine has an advantage that the perforations in the base of the capsule are easy to line up, so the capsule can be reused many times over. Will try again with some better coffee when I get a chance to go to the shops.

      • Neoika on 21/08/2015 - 16:52

        I advise you not to try this on this machine.I made one machine stuffed up and pod drawer totally clogged.Luck I bought one more and they are free anyway.

  • shonofear on 09/08/2015 - 09:19

    hey, so my local Target are sold out but more arriving on Tuesday the 11th. Can anybody confirm if the cashback offer ends on the 11th of August or the 9th of Sept ?
    also he said they are going for $36-
    UPDATE… ok, it clearly states it on their website. The promotion ends at 11:59pm (AEST) 6th September 2015.

    • bamzero on 09/08/2015 - 12:52
      +1

      Yep, it's the first line of the post.
      The reason I marked the expiry as 11th (also explained in the post) is that the tag had instructions for staff to remove it on 11/8 which leads me to believe the special finishes then and the machine won't be completely free anymore (though would only cost $9 which isn't too bad if you really wanted it.

      Wouldn't have thought they'd get more stock tho since it's a clearance line??

      • shonofear on 09/08/2015 - 13:07

        yea, i read it wrong.
        yea not sure why more ordered but im not complaining.
        just got the call that the stock arrived today !!! yay, already got it at home just applied for the cashback/free pods.

    If you haven't got a machine left there are at least 10 left at Roseland's target in NSW.

    Selling for $49 though and they would not price match.

  • Extinction Rebellion on 09/08/2015 - 17:29

    Can someone help please?

    I got the very last one at Target Leichhardt, Sydney. No box or warranty or anything - just the machine.

    Could someone who has opened their box tell me if there were any extra bits included in the box, or vital instructions or bits of paper.

    If there is paperwork or info missing that I need for the cashback, I will probably return it.

    They wanted $40 because of the missing packaging, but then I realised I only had $36.50 in my bag at that moment, so he took that!

    • leeteam on 09/08/2015 - 18:33

      Nothing special in a box. If you have all the parts, that all. Serial number is under machine you may need this when claim free pods.

    Has anyone had success claiming their free 32 pods for multiple machines? I bought 3 machines and the cash back claims seem to have gone through as I've received a confirmation email. However, I have only received 1 confirmation email for the free pods claim.

    Any advice on what I should do?

    • darktiger on 09/08/2015 - 22:11

      Why the down vote?

    • Limitless on 09/08/2015 - 23:21

      at the bottom of the email:

      "Why Am I Receiving This Email?You have received this email because you subscribed to the Lavazza A Modo Mio newsletter."

      I assume 1 email per email address. Confirmation that they would send the pods was provided after you pressed submit, this email was for the newsletter sign up by the looks of it.

      • darktiger on 10/08/2015 - 01:26

    • lostn on 10/08/2015 - 21:46

      I didn't get an email confirmation, but when I submitted my details I got a confirmation.

  • bamzero on 10/08/2015 - 00:15
    +1

    Should probably note that the 32 free pods promo started a year ago, and runs until 18,000 machines have been registered.

    Since there's no indication of how many have been registered so far, there is a chance none of us will be getting free pods…

    • Roary on 10/08/2015 - 01:48

      True.. thought once I lodged my claim it said I would be receiving 32 pods in 10-14 working days. I take that as being accepted and will argue if they since say otherwise..

    • wtfnodeal on 10/08/2015 - 08:19

      But the promo should have been taken down if all 18000 have been claimed?

      • exile on 10/08/2015 - 09:32
        +2

        Yes, but considering their record with updating their promos, I wouldn't count on it. The cash back claim form for example telling you after you submit that your claim may be invalid because its still set to the dates from the previous promo and even the email offering the $30 Lattemento after you register says its valid until March 2015 (although the website shows the same offer right now so you are more likely to get that). Plus, like you said the promo should have been taken down, maybe that's why I can't find a direct link to that promo on their website? We'll see I guess.

        • bamzero on 10/08/2015 - 11:46

          Yes,that.

          Hopefully they come through anyway. In their best interest really isn't it. For the few dollars it costs them, might convert a whole lot more OzBargainers who would otherwise put it straight on the shelf with all the other unnecessary purchases :)

        • lostn on 10/08/2015 - 21:48

          @bamzero: Once I use up my 32 pods I think I'm dumping it. Basically I got to try 32 pods for free and didn't have to pay for the machine to try them with.

        • wtfnodeal on 10/08/2015 - 23:17

          @lostn: if they drop the price of their pods to $0.50 each and taste just about the same as Nespresso i will switch to Lavazza.

        • Tomika on 11/08/2015 - 14:44

      Why don't you give them a call? You might as well since they can keep one aside for you if there is stock. No point on relying on others since it might get sold out anyways by the time you get there.

    Thanks, it is working, however it seems like a new page which you can't force a secure (https://) connection to, so is it safe to send your bank details over such a connection? The previous version could be forced to be secure. The free capsule link worked well for me, securely, though.

          You're right - I was kidding. Although I don't think bank account details are as open to abuse as credit card details. If someone makes an unauthorised direct debit to your account your bank is supposed to refund you and chase the biller.

        Its actually 10 working days, so 2 weeks real time, and that's to get confirmation of claim validity, not the actual cashback.

          At Target it was a clearance item, so makes sense to drop off list if no longer going to be sold at Target.

          You can actually purchase the machine from the Lavazza online store for $49, so I dont see an issue with the low price.

      I called the number today… on hold for a while. Eventually spoke to someone and they gave me this number for customer service: 1300 302 334

      Called the 1300 number and a kind lady advised me that they have received my claim. They have been inundated with requests so it will take about 5 more days to send the emails out to everyone. Even though the T&Cs state 10 days, I'm happy with that.

    Guess there is a few of us pending the return of the machines if we dont get our cashback

    Can we return a machine to Target we used if we dont get our cashback?
