Found a full page ad for this in the Daily Telegraph this afternoon while waiting for coffee:

Need to be a new user, submit your email on the site to get a code by Sunday 11:59PM, and then use the credit on Monday (19th), by 4PM.
Seems to be promoting you can purchase food from participating venues now too.
As per Anubis' post below, codes will be sent on Monday, so just a small window of time to use the credit before it expires.
Ah, good pickup. Looks like Monday is the only redemption day then.
Would explain why I haven't had a confirmation email too. As an existing user, I'll likely be ineligible, but will have to wait and see :D
Grr i hate their new deals format. It no longer shows the deals cafes at the top and you get a daily email saying what cafes have deals.
Its also now capped with discounts that you get charged for soy or large or any changes that are made. It gets addded on top of the $2 coffee. Grr
I hate it too. So hard to navigate and view all deals. Requires too many steps now…
yeah, the new format is crap. I've gone from multiple daily use to rarely opening the app.
MealPal seems to be a good alternative
Says it's 'Limited to the first 1000 redemptions.'
Does this require number confirmation?
Who me?
How many restaurants are there ? how do i find out if its even worth me getting this as i dont want to get it if i cant use it and someone else can. I am in north ryde, is this more useful for people in the city?
One question at a time
Plenty of places around Macquarie Park/North Ryde/Chatswood.
No idea on an exact number lol but enough so you can take your pick. I recommend Hattrick, great coffees and the loyalty card is only 4-5 coffees instead of like 9-10 before a free one.
In city, just many more close together. In Ryde, you probably have some around, but might have to drive a km or 2 to get there. I usually check whats around, then Google reviews to decide which to go to. You most likely have a few in your area, a couple of km away from each other though perhaps. In the city you would have >20 within short walking distance.
Interesting, i had tried using the website on my desktop before i posed this question and it didnt seem to work properly, must have been my browser. No matter what postcode i put in, it was just empty.
Have to use up all $15 on monday or the credit remains for future use?
Credit remains unless they rescind like they’ve done before
Credit expires at 4PM on Monday, pretty short window!
That extra part of the T&C comes from the news article I took a photo of, which I've now uploaded and linked to in the OP.
Oh my bad. I thought that was purely when the credit would appear.
@Slo20: All good! Hey You has had different methods of credit in the past. I grabbed a coffee a couple of weeks ago from a credit that had been sitting there for a month or so. This one is just a few hours to use it. Monday lunch really.
It's a good chance to shout everyone coffee in the office and pretend you're the good guy for the day.
4 coffees on Monday lined up I'm gonna be buzzing.
Can get food with hey you credit also. And of course other drinks besides coffee (milkshakes, smoothies, chai latte, herbal tea, etc).
Does this require number confirmation?
Limited to the first 1000 registrations
Received email…
Seems only for new sign ups (I'm existing but never bought user - so likely No soup for you!)
You're nearly there!
1. Download the Hey You app
2. Signup with this email address
3. Verify your account
4. If eligible you will receive your $15 credit on Monday by 11:30am for lunch
hey guys.. do you think that i would be able to use a referral + take up this offer?
I put one in so I hope so.
would be able to use a referral + take up this offer?
Almsost definitely should be able to use referal plus code for $15.
You can certainly use referal ($5 applied) then also code:COFFEE (1 free coffee). Therefore I would expect the code for this deal can still be applied. I have had 5 codes applied to account at same time (when app was new, many more codes were available).
Same, dont get how this got so many up votes with such a small claim window compared to the last deal
no code for me yet
got email last night and signed up this morning, says to expect code by 11:30am
Only got $5 lol. they changed from $15 to 5.
was it an email or text?
no special code, no email update. when you click the link it redirects you a $5 code. code is lunchtime
CODE: lunchtime: $5 for new users.
Wow changing from 15$ to 5$ …after they get you to sign up / get your details? Thats dodgy as!
No code for me either.
Your code has arrived. $5 promo code. Lunch. lol
and 'lunchtime'.
disappointing.
Hey You… Bastards..
Click on Deal Link - Deal has changed from $15 to $5👎
No code & "lunchtime" is not valid for me😠
Assholes
Edit: got my credit
Hopefully $5 is for a future promotion, and not this one.
Looks like some people below have seen their balance updated to $15 without getting an email. Might be worth checking?
Checked , no credit😞
But now received email explaining I was too late - Thank you for participating in our campaign. The number of registrations we received exceeded our expectations and unfortunately we are unable to offer you free lunch as you were outside the first 1000 to register.
Sent my email a few hours after posted.
Revoked neg. Happy others did receive their free lunch😊
Didn't receive any code after registering days ago. Followed all requirements as per emails. Absurb!
Cancel that. $15 credit did arrive. Thumbs up!
No code here.
edit: I still haven't received a notification or email but I sent an email to [email protected] and I just noticed BALANCE: $15 under my name in Menu tab of the App, check if you have this guys.
update: Just got email. Arrived 11:55am
No email
For those who didn't get the email by 1130 (including me),
Write a complaint to fair trading and attach the newspaper advert. They will definitely get fined for false advertising
State Office of Fair Trading, in my experience, do not deal with false advertising, simply help on arbitration of disputes.
But HY can simply say offer was changed or withdrawn.
I got an email advising code would be here by 11:30am and I got nothing, so now it will bloody cost me money since I have to buy lunch.
Just received code at 12 pm
I have received no code whatsoever. But I checked my profile and I have the $15 credit sitting there. Also applied "lunchtime" and my credit became $20. Just tried ordering lunch from Pasta Pantry (currently have 50% special) at MLC and will pick up soon. It seems to have debited $5.45 salad I just ordered.
Don’t forget to use “LUNCH” as well.
OK I think I got new email 11.55 am. But history shows extra 15 added to account. But balance slow to update. Have to test if it works.
Check your history in account
Received $15 :)
Code is LUNCHTIME and LUNCH
Received 15 and just finished my free lunch 😋
31 minutes to go .. what should I get ??????????
How tf are you supposed to order anything on this stupid app when everything is either closed or “back online soon”?
Were you ordering at the time you posted your comment last night or did you try order during lunch when most places should be open or online?
Time of posting. There’s only restaurants on the app near me that don’t open on Hey You until 5pm. But then appear as “back online soon” the whole time they’re open.
Maybe they were once part of Hey You, but no longer are. I know the DJs Market St Espresso Bar was always offline, even when I was looking at it during store trading hours.
Plus wasn’t the code to have expired at 4 p.m.? So you wouldn’t have been able to use it at the time of posting, right?
Confirmation page says
Sit tight, eligible registrants will receive a code for $15 credit on Monday 19th November.
