Free membership- gives 2 for 1 coffees. Not sure when it expires!
Update:
For those who came through the process but forgot to screenshot, visit this: https://www.theclub.com.au/success and it will still show the code (mine does).

19/6: Mod - From comments it appears most or all memberships were cancelled for new customers, however some users who renewed have reported success.
At that rate you'll have more enemies than friends.
Aww sheeeet, missed it, miss all the good stuff damnit ;-(
You didn't miss it. Plenty of memberships were cancelled including mine
Oh well back to 7/11 free coffees now :D
Or a Blend 43 from home
That's not coffee, that's hot brown as far as I'm concerned.
They're mad if they cancel it. I didn't get one, but Coffee Club is really average. Coffee is just acceptable, and food way overpriced. But if your at the shops with someone and and want to sit down for a bit with a coffee, read the paper etc it's not too bad with the card. They would still be making money and getting a whole lot more custom. Oh well, their loss.
RIP, membership not processed.. Ah well.

In case someone wants to use this…
Same here LOL
lol my VIP Code is VIP73428090, not worth to buy it now :), gives 30% off
So they cancelled all this?
Free advertising for them I guess… wish there were rules against that kind of thing.
The wrong type of advertising though.
I disagree. Keeps the benefits churning in people's minds.
Just got same email.

ooOoo
Yep, just got that email too.
It's like GoCatch all over again…
GoCatch 2.0 lol
got the same email.
I will still try to use the e- membership number
Apparently someone did (its in the comments before) and they weren't honoured.
I used it this morning. And it was honoured.
Unless they've deactivated them now (very possible)
30% off eh? Thanks, now to go to Muffin Break (coffee from another franchise of similar coffee) to price match. :P
Same as above comments :( "Sorry! There was a problem"
CGU Airtasker, cotton on Shipster and now this. I guess if it’s too good to be true it really is ( except for the nando’s deal)
Wow what dicks. Should have been honoured
Just received this email from the the coffee club confirmation. Looks its no go!

OzB just created active user database for Coffee Club :(
Which they'll sell to recoup their costs associated with this mess.
Deliberate or not we don't know but no harm done to them other than just some emails with computer generated 30% discount codes.
haha idiots, back to maccas for the coffee then
Worked for me in the morning but didn't get any confirmation e-mail. Now i received e-mail that order could not be processed due to some problem. Sucksss
Oh well cancelled.
Has anyone tried using the membership they made this morning at all today? Did it get accepted?
Yes. Was accepted this morning.
They may have disabled my account number since.
This isn't being honoured. Just got an email (after it being fully successful this morning) saying the code was invalid and gave me a 30% off code to buy the membership.
Almost 12 thousand clicks from OzBargain, and thousands of new user data. Well played, CC. You ain't getting my money though.
Successfully registered this morning, but just received an email this afternoon stating:

Just got the cancelled email :(
Rubbish CC , said code is invalid after signed up and same as others received 30% off code. Will not visit any CC AS THEY're not sincere in giving their promotion
Same here. Got a cancel email…
Cancelled mine too
Just received my confirmation. :)

In the meantime, you can already start enjoying the benefits of VIP Membership just by printing and presenting this letter at any store.
I got the same confirmation email! I did get in before I this post was up on OzBargin, so maybe that helped?
Did you renew as opposed to starting a new membership? I think the renewals got accepted, but new members using the code got cancelled.
Hey TCC, learn from Hoselink!!
Booo I got mine cancelled too. Life sucks
Lol I'm going to Jamaica Blue instead now - at least they gave me a loyalty card 🤣🤣
The Jamaica Blue card is pretty good at one stage there every other visit seemed to be a free coffee :) Just a pity the quality of the coffee isn't more consistent across store some are quite good and others are truly awful
That's why I only visit two stores and they are both quite good :) to be honest though, coffee is expensive there as well.
As sugary as iced coffees are, they give me the kick I need for cheaper. Most of the time I prefer a hot coffee - $3 for a small is okay.
Geee, the code was valid this morning; said my application was good and card was on its way.
Funny how a code can become invalid.
bs coffee club
Thanks OP. Just received my renew confirmation… ;-)

This is very doggy way of doing business, your information is now in spam/scam database
Went through fine, then email:

Unethical
Coming from someone who's associated. Or did you accidentally tick the box?
he is saying we are unethical not them :)
I received cancellation email, just tried finding out the expiry date by going into renewal screen and it seems the expiry date has been set to 19th June, so still a day available to get BOGOF.
it's 2019 though
my membership was cancelled :(
my birthday is coming up so I got a free hot drink out of it :)
yay cancellation email. So instead of getting anything from Coffee Club as planned, now I am free to go elsewhere, without feeling the need to visit Coffee Club
I received a "Sorry! There was a problem. Invalid code" email, but I could get the membership for 30% off if I want… No thanks.
Average coffee, but I'm still sore that they were replaced by Starbucks in Eastgardens. Starbucks! I got a free coffee off them when they first opened there, and I'll never do that again. Sorry, I digress…
I renewed my membership and they have seemed to honour it. Got an email an hour ago
If their coffee actually tasted any good I'd be upset …..
I got a confirmation email, mine was a renewal. It looks to me like the renewals got honoured but new members got cancelled.
Im gutted. Was looking forward to having another loyalty card in the wallet to take up space to use at a place that I probably wouldn't ever use and if I did I would still complain the 2 for 1 coffees taste like shit.
I sent this reply to them, gee they're tigharses.
……… .
Stick your code. Dont offer codes that you aren't going to honor.
You would think as a gesture of goodwill you would honor the 200+ ozbargain customers that joined as that's 200+ new customers that would spend more in store (our family usually spend $50 every fortnight) for the sake of a coffee that probably costs you 40 cents.
Will never return again, degani and independent cafes will get out business now.
……………………………
.
Ps. Don’t really care as hate going there as the worst coffee and overpriced food. I’d be lucky to go there once every 6 months
make sure you Unsubscribe
This membership would be the only way I'd go there. They would have made plenty out of the half price (I mean, standard priced) coffees, plus food purchased.
Got the cancellation email as well :(
How come I get the feeling this was intentional, under the guise of a promotion, just to get our details so they can send us promotional stuff etc.
dis sucks!!!
This is the reply I got from them, The Coffee Club Australia Hi , thanks for getting in touch with us. As this was an invalid code the membership could not be processed. Regarding your personal details, as the VIP membership did not go through, we do not keep your details on file. Thanks again for getting in touch with us and I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, the TCC Social Team.
i don't think they are going to do much with your details
Calm down mate..
Did anyone not get an email at all? I got nothing confirming membership and nothing rejecting it either.
I've checked spam folder too.
Bad PR - guess they don't want new customers like us.
They should have just accepted the people that joined and be happy to have new customers.
Got a letter in the mail today stating that the code used was an error, and therefore the card/ member number is now invalid.
Has this yet been confirmed as a data collection exercise? The only people that this worked for are people who's data is already stored (existing company). Everyone else just got data-mined, get ready for some advertising spam from who even coffee clubs sells the data to.
Looks like they're now also cancelling renewals too. My renewal had been active until yesterday, now it no longer exists in the system. I haven't received any emails from them at all.
This is turning into a masterclass in how to make a bad situation even worse.
I received my new card today (renewal)
Just a follow up. Got my new card! Also renewal.
Received my new card as well (renewal).
I was going to take a friend to the coffee club (where will I meet you) and make them pay for one coffee so I can get a free one.
No need to look for a friend now…
