    Poor GoCatch is going to go bust at this rate!!

    wow, total is $80, return trip from Brisbane city to airport

  • Are Gocatch still on?

  • Anyone want to give me their referral code?

    • +3

      Feel free to use anyone's from Referral Link box above in description :)
      Cheers !!

        Ah cheers thanks mate!

      • +1

        Thanks Askhole.

        Worked a treat.

  • if you use $20 in one trip, is the remaining credit still there?

    • +1

      Yes

      • cheers, that's brilliant

    • -6

      Yes, that's correct. Once your voucher balance reaches $0, the remaining difference will be charged to your selected payment method.

      • +1

        You removed all of my credit, even older credit.

        I think this is disgraceful service.

  • I should become a go catch driver. Double win lol

  • About 10 minutes ago i made an advanced booking through GoCatch and cancelled it straight away.

    Just got a call from GoCatch and they asked me why I cancelled my advanced booking and whether I want to reschedule it. Pretty creepy.

    Also, they use some really bad IP phones which cut in and out and you can barely hear them.

    • +1

      I booked an economy once, and they "upgraded" me to a cab that was around 15km away (i was travelling 5km away), so cancelled and rebooked - this happened 5 times all up (with cars/cabs >15km away or no driver allocated) before i gave up and ubered.

      Woke up the next morning with 3 missed calls, an SMS and 5 pre-authorisations for estimated fare that didnt drop off for a week…

    • +1

      Lol, same happened to me.

  • Cool, but does this mob seem expensive? I sometimes get a rideshare to work as I can't get there early on weekend mornings via PT, so I usually get a Taxify ot Ola and it's around 11 bucks. This app quotes me 15-22! I'll still use the free rides but I can't work out what their fares are based on.

    • They're fares are based on Sydney Uber prices. Uber charge less in every other city in Australia but GoCatch charge the same so they are usually more expensive unless you are in Sydney.

      • Explains why they quoted me $30 to get to uni lol

      • Oh figures. I'm in Melbourne. Lol no wonder these pricks are giving away credit.

        • +1

          Yep, not worth the effort, even for the referral codes unless you don't mind having a few drivers make you wait and then cancel.

      • Hi donga100 – our fares vary in different localities nationwide.

  • Does anyone know where I can get my referral code? Thanks.

  • Just curious, for future deals, how do I submit my own referral code to be part of the 'random' category? Thanks

    • +2

      click on edit button at Referral Links box above and update your code & it will work on current deal as well under 'random'

    • +2

      Referral links to GoCatch are great ammunition to shoot at your enemies.

  • Do you have to use these credits in one go?

    • +1

      apparently, no.

    • -3

      Hi joedingy, no you don't. Once you've used the entirety of your voucher balance, the difference will be charged to your selected payment method.

      • "If the total fare is greater than $20, the remaining balance will be charged to the nominated payment method. Any unused credit will be forfeited."

        Can you explain what "unused credits" are in this context?

      • +1

        Or GoCatch will just wipe the credit balance of users.

  • Is there a particular order you have to add these in to get the $80?

    • yes..sign up referral need to be the 1st one($20).. Rest 3 just add it randomly ($60)

  • +1

    Gee - might need to sign up to be a driver - reckon you'd do alright this week!!!

    • +2

      Oh no - scratch that.

      Back to cleaning toilets, cause that's where $hit belongs

  • +3

    Awesome, thanks OP credits are great!
    I signed up this morning due to this deal, got a pre-booking for pick up at 6:50am, and phone call at 6:50am that we have cancelled your booking, please book through on demand. Kept trying that.. no drivers! Late to work by about 20 mins as I caught an Uber after GoCatch stuffed up.

    • Hi kma, that doesn't sound right at all – and we'd like to look into this to see why your booking was cancelled. Can you please contact us here: http://on.gocatch.com/contact and we'll get back to you asap.

    Wtf?

    I was charged $17.34 for a ride when I was supposed to have $80 in voucher credit.
    Negging deal to highlight this. - Awaiting for GoCatch support.

    • +4

      I've experienced a similar issue.

    • +4

      I have experienced a similar issue.

      They also spam you with random vouchers if you sign in (eg. $3.32 credit) but don't tell you that it's for the first 20 people, so total waste of time there.

      Then there's the issues of no drivers available, and drivers cancelling.

      I also had my account suspended for no reason one day. They unlocked it and said they can't tell me why it happened for "security reasions". To this day, I do not know why.

      With Uber, OlaCabs and Taxify, we don't need these clowns.

        if i don't get a response i'm going to put a dispute through with paypal.

        • +2

          That's what I ended up doing, and they closed the case in my favour. I haven't used them since.

          @dasher86: No, they didn't respond to paypal (or me via support email, prior to the paypal claim)

    • +1

      Same thing with me. Had $80 in credit. Was even looking at the credit screen as the driver approached and it was still showing $80.

      Ended up being charged to my PayPal and when I looked at my credit at the end of the trip, it was gone.

      Have revoked my positive vote.

    • +3

      same here, it is stealing, I have lodged a complain on their website, will escalate the issue if not resolved by 7 working days.

    I had $80 in vouchers yesterday and woke up to 0 nothing left. Dodgy and fishy on part of GoCatch. Beware everyone, it's a trap!

  • +3

    My $80 credit is now showing $0, looks like they are wiping it.

    • haha….mine too.

      Did have $60, now have $0.00.

    $80 credit gone. Was there this morning… will be uninstalling.

    My credit has also been wiped.

    I actually used the service…. pretty dodgy.

    Will never use GoCatch again.

    • And yet, you upvoted the deal.

        Obviously that was before they wiped the credit….

        Too late, you didn't even bother reach out as to why the credit was removed initally. Also your support is useless.

      • +8

        You come on to this forum and all you do is cover your arse. No response to mine or the many other users who have been stuffed around - and I’m not talking about the promo codes.

        I used to be a huge advocate but have been burnt by the app pinging a taxi driver when requesting a rideshare.

        One time a cabbie asked me to pay the difference between the taxi fare and ride share after I reached my destination. I said take it up with GoCatch - he didn’t respond well and was quite aggressive towards me. I felt particularly unsafe as the destination was my home.

        Another time cabbie asked me same thing half way through my trip. I said I ordered a rideshare, so he pulled over immediately and told me to get out. I said it wasn’t my fault and that he should take it up with GoCatch. He also didn’t take kindly to that, so hopped out and ordered an Uber for my safety.

  • signed up in app with BA's code, why credit shows as $0 when logged in?

  • +3

    All the credit has gone!!

  • +3

    did anyone have an issue where their voucher balance has dropped to $0? I had $10 balance, and I added the 3 voucher codes this morning which made my balance $70. Today afternoon this went back to $0. Dont know whats happening..

    • +3

      All my credits have disappeared. If I try adding the vouchers it says it's already applied onto the account.

      • +2

        yes me too…. and i lost whatever I had prior to these vouchers. This stinks

    • +3

      I've had similar issues regarding referral credit vanishing in the past.
      Luckily I didn't touch this shit show of a deal myself.

  • +5

    Dodgy (profanity)

    Similar story, credit balance wiped. Luckily I booked a ride this morning and my PayPal didn't get chargedm

  • Thanks OP, got $80 in a new account to spend, feels like xmas :)

  • +6

    Wtf Mine credit also gone :( Sorry guys.. Do not know what happened wrong here.. Will be logging support case with Go catch .. Hoping that should be their system bug and rectify this issue.. Else they will be loosing all get OZB & other customers.
    Can't neg me deal but will revoke my vote :(

    • +1

      I up voted you for the detail in your post.

      Not your fault that screwed us over…..

      Let me know how you go with logging a ticket.

      • +3

        Thanks.. I have logged a case with them at below link.. Free free to log ur requests too.
        If no response then plan B, I will do advanced booking and then cancel immediately so they will call me to follow up ( some user mentioned about them being creepy on follow up cancellation ) ;) and will CATCH them

          Hi there. GoCatch voucher codes are limited to one code per person and multiple promo codes can't be used/stacked together. If you think any credit has been removed incorrectly, you can contact us through the following link and we’ll review your account: http://on.gocatch.com/contact

        • +11

          @GoCatch Official: Already did.. No response since morning & why wipe all balance ? No email or notification? people were charged for their first ride which could have been free.
          Also, It happened to everyone not one. Atleast, there should be minimum $40 credit (new users) as per your terms which you mentioned ( $20 referral + $20 for one code).. Isn't it ?

  • +9

    dodgy company. credit disappeared without an explanation. app deleted

    • -1

      I did exactly the same thing yet another imitator that doesn't get what being a service interrupter is all about GOOD RIDDANCE!

  • +5

    Same has just happened to me. All my credits have vanished, even my reimbursement which had nothing to do with these vouchers!

  • +4

    Same here. I initially signed up because of the promotion. I had $80 worth of credit but when I checked my account again this afternoon, all credit was gone. Because they bypassed PayPal (I don't know how they did it when I only provided them with my PayPal account!) and pre-authorised a charge on my credit card, I called GoCatch today but they never answered my call. I eventually called my CS hotline of my credit card to prepare for dispute.

    My advise is if you have booked in advance, make sure you cancel before your job is assigned to a driver so that they cannot charge a $10 cancellation fee. That's their word, not my word.

    • +3

      Update: After cancelling my booking, a staff of GoCatch called me to offer $20 worth of credit, which I declined on principle. I am also concerned that they may bail on me just when I need the service most.

      • +1

        Good move buddy. Did you get a chance to ask them about $80 credit disappearance mystery ?

        • +1

          Yea, I did and the staff said they had no idea about the $80 worth of credit being on offer. I wasn't gonna argue with them, instead I made it clear over the phone they cannot charge my credit card.

  • +3

    Not trying to sound entitled, because $80 credit was honestly a little too generous to expect from a struggling uber competitor. But I can't help but feel more "baited and switched" than usual.

    Poorly thought out simultaneous promotions? Or an intentional way of getting more sign ups without actually having to give anything extra?

    They really screwed up by not providing an explanation, because now people have the chance to interpret it in the worst possible way.

    Good briefly knowing you, GoCatch.

    • +1

      Maybe they just forgot a where clause when updating another customer's balance?

    • -6

      Hi mrdavedave, thanks for expressing your concern. GoCatch voucher codes are limited to one code per person and multiple promo codes can't be used/stacked together. If you think any credit has been removed incorrectly, you can contact us through the following link and we’ll review your account: http://on.gocatch.com/contact. You should receive an email from us regarding the promotion credit soon.

      • +11

        Upvote for actually mentioning my username in your reply. Look, copy and paste responses can be quite effective and time saving (e.g. an online customer service rep giving generic advice during a chat session). However, doing so in any public context (and especially on OzBargain) is only going to piss people off.

        It's just incredibly impersonal and insincere to see the same response posted again and again. If I were you, I'd either post a single response in the comments section that attempts to address everyone's concerns, or I'd at least send those generic responses as private messages to each individual.

        I don't envy you. I'd imagine that none of this fiasco is your fault, and you're just the unlucky person who has been tasked with cleaning it up. But I feel the need to stress that, right now you're only making things worse, and that means that you're not doing your job well. I'm not talking about GoCatch, I'm talking about you as a representative.

        P.S. I'm not trying to insult you, it just seems like GoCatch might not be around forever, and I personally wouldn't hire you =)

  • +1

    I booked a trip to the airport in advance, credits were showing as $60 on my account. Trip finalised only to be charged $35 to my credit card.

    Credits have disappeared without notice. My husband's referral $20 (signed up for account yesterday) are also missing.

    Lodged a ticket to GoCatch… will advise. Not happy Jan!

  • +1

    https://www.smartcompany.com.au/startupsmart/news-analysis/g… I guess they can now advertise an increased customer base? They sent me a voucher a while ago in return for reactivating my account. Maybe if you're upset, you should close your account, not just delete the app?

  • +1

    Oh no my $80 credit just disappeared how many else having this issues ,this is not accepted GoCatch, app deleted.

  • +9

    Yeah never using gocatch again… was looking for a new uber alternative too. Account deleted.
