Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.

Was browsing the Woolies catalogue starting Wednesday and noticed Gillette was 30% off. Didn't care.
Noticed Uber's logo right next to Gillette. That caught my attention.

The wording is:

Spend $30 on any Gillette product/s and get a FREE RIDE

Fine print makes it clearer.

• 30% off promotion from 2/3-8/3 excludes blades
• "Free Ride" is a voucher capped at $30 (in local currency, i.e. AUD)
• Voucher valid until 31/5/2016
• Any unused amount is forfeited (i.e. it is not like credit)
• Spend must be in one transaction, and claim with proof of purchase must be submitted on gillette.dsynapps.com/enter/ (this link then redirects to a dedicated Facebook page for the promo)
• Max 1 claim/person
• Promotion ends 30/4/2016
• Existing accounts are eligible

Final point in bold is my own conclusion/assumption, based on the fact that there is no exclusion of existing Uber accounts mentioned (unlike many other Uber deals), and the claim form has a section asking if you already have an Uber account.

Basically, the bargain is as follows:
You get free Gillette products by taking advantage of a Gillette/Uber promotion via Woolies. If you think you'll have a $30+ ride with Uber by 31/5/2016, your Gillette products are effectively free. As such, I will put the end date of this deal as the end date of the Gillette/Uber promotion (as opposed to the 30% off Gillette @ Woolies from 2/3-8/3).

Buy some as spares for yourself, husband, boyfriend, best friend, dog, monkey!

  Great Find! Not a lot of free ride promos out there for existing uber accounts.

  "Excludes blades" in fine print. Booo!

    I just had a look at their catalogue, I think there'd by a fair case with the ACCC for misleading advertising.
    Big 30% off all Gilette (yes a small disclaimer), but with blades and blade information heavily promoted on the page.

    Extremely misleading IMHO.

      I agree. Fine print way too small especially when the default view of the catalogue when looking online is zoomed-out. It even features an image of a razor blade immediately above and below it.

    I think the 'excludes blades' part is just for the 30% off. However if you bought the blades at full price you still should be eligible for the UBER promo.

      Yea you're right. For a moment you made me think I miscommunicated it by saying blades are excluded from the promo, but I realise I "explained" it right.

      30% off promotion from 2/3-8/3 excludes blades

  What can you get for $30 that isn't blades? That's a lot of shaving gel.

  that said, looks like you could buy the products, upload the receipt for entry, then return them unopened to the shop for refund or credit.

    Normally wouldn't condone this, but will be telling everyone I know to do it, screw Woolies/Gilette and Uber.

    Has anyone tried this?

      I don't see why this wouldn't work. There isn't a straightforward way to "link" it.

      Probably best to wait until you receive your Uber code before you refund though.

  jdogg on 01/03/2016 - 15:52

  Has anyone done this? Is the code generic?

  • 

    rcastiel on 01/03/2016 - 16:06

    I've uploaded the receipt and submitted the form but that's as far as it's gone

  Big tip for much cheaper shaving blades:
  Shaver Shop are almost always cheaper than everyone else, get their price and take it to Chemist Warehouse to get 10% off the difference.

  Eg. Gilette Fusion 4pack,
  WW price = 22.50,
  Shaver Shop = $14.95
  CW = 20.99, price beat down to $14.35 which is 36% off the WW price.
  (Or go to Shaver Shop and keep a small franchise in business)

    Nice one!

    But just keep in mind the "deal" I am trying to highlight here is effectively getting free Gillette products, which in theory is possible if you know you're going to take a $30+ Uber ride by 31 May 2016 anyway.

    • 

      phunkyfeelone on 02/03/2016 - 11:09

      Yep, but thought it was an appropriate thread to give a tip ;-)

      Therefore, you're getting $21.85 worth of free Uber on the total deal :-)

      • 

        illumination on 02/03/2016 - 12:16

        Nah you're getting $21.85 worth of free Gillette! Cause the Uber you'd be paying $30 for anyway lol but the Gillette stuff that you get for $30ish+ are only "worth" $21.85 using your method

  Just tried to claim it using the link - it shows this error message: User opted out of platform: The action attempted is disallowed, because the user has opted out of Facebook platform

  Anyone got this?
