Thanks to grumps, for all invalid claims please call 1800 308 388 and explain your situation. They should escalate the claim.

Greetings everyone, a friend of mine found this great deal last night in the first choice catalogue.

Purchase 2 Cases of Heineken or Heineken 3 beer in one transaction from First Choice Liquor or Vintage Cellars and get the newly released UE Megaboom 3!

When you add up the cost of the cases, the cheapest current deal you can seem to get Heineken 3 Cases are from Dan's for $39.90 each which you can then price match at First Choice, netting $79.80 in total and $179.80 for the whole bundle which is a great price for the speaker itself.

Heineken cases currently seem to be around $44.95 each at most stores. Please make sure you check around and price match at First Choice before you buy!!

Closing date to purchase the beer is 15/11/18 and closing date for entering the submission is 22/11/18.

There are 7,590 speakers available for purchase in the promotion.

There is a $1.50 admin fee mentioned in the FAQ:

How much do I pay for delivery?
The $100 (plus $1.50 admin fee) offer includes delivery by mail.

As always, enjoy!

        No they will still honour the first submission. I believe they just bulk sent out incorrect emails. I got one saying not approved then one 2 minutes later saying approved. But the link in the approved email didn't work. So as silly as it is on their behalf they'll just have to resend out valid emails.

        • Alfonso on 12/10/2018 - 15:41

  • le3lee on 12/10/2018 - 14:26

    I purchased the beer yesterday from FC.. also for the speaker! Submitted my claim with the Order number, and only realised the receipt came after picking up the beer. I tried to re-submit the claim on the basis the FAQs page states to resubmit if we've uploaded the wrong receipt, but the site did not let me, saying i've reached household max. So i email them the issue, and received a reply saying that both numbers (order number and receipt) are accepted, not long after, i received a rejection email. I just re submitted again with the receipt number….see how it goes..

    • le3lee on 12/10/2018 - 20:03

      mines approved!

      • videoman on 12/10/2018 - 20:40

        How do you know it was approved? Did they send you the link to buy the speaker for $100?

        • le3lee on 13/10/2018 - 03:40

          Below is the email i got…clicked into the link, chose my preferred speaker colour and paid. Recieved confirmation along with a order number for the speaker straight after. Note that after the getting rejected once and re submitting i also called the 1800 number. They asked me to forward them the rejection email, attach receipt and make mention of the new claim ID. It was the approved on the same day.

    They have added this in the terms and conditions. Not sure if it was there before:

    'Note:

    1. If you purchased online, you should upload your Tax Invoice, not your Order receipt, as generally the Tax invoice has all the details that are required to validate your claim.'

    Bahhahahahahah. Oh well, next time.

  • lunchbox99 on 12/10/2018 - 22:47

    The instructions originally said to upload your receipt, now they say to upload the tax invoice. I didn't get my tax invoice until 2 days after I paid online when I picked up the cartons, so when I registered wasn't even aware that more paperwork would be coming.

    I love it when a promotion ends up hurting the brand more than helping it. I will certainly think twice about buying Heineken again after this ridiculous fiasco.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2018 - 00:22

    I watched 9 Youtube MegaBoom 3 Reviews for nothing. P.S. These speakers due to water proofing sounds quite terrible in the reviews. No treble or mid range, just hollow boomy sound. Majority of the $300 cost is in the rough-tumble and water proof outdoor design than decent sound engineering. Sounds more like $50 bluetooth speakers with the bass dialed way up.

      it’s even worse than you think.

      When I got my tax invoice 2 days after my claim was submitted, I made contact using the promotion website and specifically asked them if they wanted the receipt or tax invoice. Their response was that I had to wait up to 10 days for my claim to be validated and if found invalid, I couldn’t fix it by supplying the required document… I had to submit a new claim.

      Then 9 days after my original claim… BAM…rejected.

    My first submission failed. I spoke to them and they took all details and said they would resolve. I heard nothing from them after that so thought I’d try submitting a 2nd time with the original receipt. Got an approved email a couple of hours later and purchased the speaker. The approved claim # was the 2nd one so I’d suggest to anyone not having luck from the first claim to try a new claim with original receipt.

        Not a huge cop out. Mate has this speaker. Speaker is quite average in sound quality unless you just like boomy bass with no mids or clear vocals. Even for $180 with free beer it's overpriced for it's sound quality. I wish they made a non water proof version with clearer audio.

    For what it's worth, I heard from one of the Lion peeps on the phone that the cases of Heineken aren't exactly flying off the shelves and shouldn't worry about missing out on a speaker. They've over-subscribed to allow for the promotion to continue to 31 October. However, please take with an appropriately-sized grain of salt. I'll believe it when I have one in my hands.

  • benjoon on 15/10/2018 - 14:39

    Just got a call from Heineken. I've been informed that if you ordered online and you had used your order number then you need to put in the invoice number and put in the claim form again.

    • tonydav on 15/10/2018 - 14:43

      How do you get your invoice number? I didn't get an invoice. They just left two cartons on the doorstep.

      • savemesomemoney on 15/10/2018 - 14:52

        @tonydav If you ordered online you should have received two emails. One was the order confirmation (the one you don't need) and the other one is the despatch which containd a PDF with your invoice (that's what you need).

        • tonydav on 15/10/2018 - 15:03

          Looks like the despatch e-mail went astray as didn't get an invoice attachment. I contacted them and they've sent it to me. I've forwarded this to that earlier e-mail address and also resubmitting the claim.

    • savemesomemoney on 15/10/2018 - 14:44

      I would resubmit your receipt with a new claim. I submitted claim on 2nd day available, got rejection email about a week later, called asking why and was told they'd look into it and resolve the issue. Never heard back from them so submitted same photo of receipt in a 2nd claim. Received approval email about an hour later and manged to order speaker… Today i finally got a call back from them saying the reason they denied the initial claim was because "apparently they couldn't read the receipt properly" and they suggested i submit a new claim with new photo of the receipt. That was rubbish as the photo was crystal clear and the exact same photo i used in the 2nd claim. They were just making excuses.

        I can't resubmit it it just comes up with "Sorry but you have reached the maximum of one claim per household."
