      Data collection. You can tell people as much as you like not to give away too much of their personal data but as soon as you offer them something 'free' they will quite happily hand it over without a second thought. With this, Mastercard are lowering the bar waaaaaaaayyyyy down to make far easier to give them your personal data. "Go on, just one little tap…"

        Nothing they would t already know already?

        You posted some deals for flybuys my dude.

        • Heh…Touché. Just goes to show I'm not immune to the same strategy. I was only answering the question that was posed earlier.

    There is also a pop up in Bondi Junction station.
    I got a 35$ yoga class.

      • Depends if Kods is single. Lot of hotties in yoga classes

        • +1

          Only if he/she can score with relative ease without being creepy.

          • +2

            @jlogic: It's not creepy if you're super attractive.

        • +16

          Can you recommend some yoga class with lots of hotties ? (asking for Kods)

        • +1

          Hahahaha, I will give it my miss, don't want to get into troubles.

        • Crazy goes hand in hand

          • @UberIsCool: I think there's more hand in lycra pocket going on here…

    • Is that inside or outside the barriers?

      • +1

        Outside

    • Hope its the regular yoga class and not this!

    • Hey, if you weren't planning on using the voucher I'd be happy to buy it off you?

    I wonder if they'll run out by the time I get there…HillsDistrictLyf

      I think you're betting off waiting until May until the metro opens, it'll probably get you there quicker 😂

  • Starbucks giftcard at Bondi. Not sure value yet.

    Saw iTunes too.

    • +1

      • +3

        So low mate, I scored $50 David Jones :D

        • +3

          Find myself lucky as I didn't get the yoga voucher :)

      • Mine too. But I am assuming they will reload it with more value in the next 24 hours. Or else I stood in the queue for nothing.

        • +1

          Doubt an increase in card value like that will happen..

        • You stood in the queue for nothing. But you chose to take the chance

          • +1

            @grasstown: I got a $25 voucher from Messina as well. So not a bad deal overall. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy either way.

            • @masaladosa: Hey actually I regretted my comment. Nothing in your comment was anger or entitlement, actually just factual. My comment was judgmental.

  • +6

    Do you come with the gift card?

    • +23

      Oh you

      • +3

        Ayyy, someone gets it!

        (It was a Simpson’s reference, BTW)

        • Its more funny when you don't explain the jokes

          • @Sweetnsour: It had -3 votes when I replied back - just in case someone got offended.

          • +1

            @vietbargain: Vending machine is Unbroken, but if you're only lining up now there's a chance you'd miss out

          • @vietbargain: still waiting for your reply with what you got F5

    • Far queue.

  • Would it work with Apple pay ?

  • I want one in chatswood

  • -1

    Multiple cards = multiple gifts?

    • Yea now instead of collecting Amex cards the Ozbargainer collects Mastercards….

    • +1

      Tried that, no. But if you do line up again, don't think they'll recognize you.

      • -1

        Scored 3! With different cards.

  • +1

    Worth coming from Penrith?

    • +73

      Leaving Penrith is worth it

      • +1

        Still in traffic? Lol

    • haha I feel you man, unfortunately I have work :/

  • +5

    On their instagram account, MasterCard said they'll be at Central Station, Bondi Junction Station and Manly Wharf. Good luck at those three places! Wonder if you can tap at more than one location for the cards.

    Edit: taps at multiple locations with same card confirmed to work.

    Edit again: debit MasterCard works too lol

  • Got a $100 Envato spa card at Central. Two envelopes actually came out but they only allowed me to have one of them :(

  • Where in central is it?

    • +2

      Read the title…

    • +7

      Where you see a queue of 100 ozbargainer's lined up to try their luck.

      • +1

        And uni students lol. Right at the 891 bus exit.

  • +1

    farrr should have walked from central today to work sigh

  • I managed to get 2 gifts card using the same mastercard (Bondi junction and Central).

    It seems that they don't have a way to check if your card has already tap.

    Second card was a 20$ iTunes gift card.

    • where about in bondi junction?

      • In front of the gates but only on one side.

  • I'm getting ready to zip down there and score myself a gift card but then realised I don't actually have a MasterCard :(

    Great promotion though, it's made me want to get a MasterCard.

    • +6

      And thus in lies the promotion

  • Anything here down in Mexico(Victoria) we are freezing our behinds off.

    • It's probably just Sydney for now, based on the MasterCard instagram post

  • I wonder they will be there all day. I might go during lunch break

  • why isn't there one at all sydney cbd train stations lol

  • Do debit MasterCards work lol

    • I want to know as well

    • +6

      Yes, I used my debt card

  • Anyone still there? How long is the queue at central?

    • +4

      Wait time is about 30min

      • Yep. I'd say if you're only getting in line now you might miss out

  • -1

    Anything at Macquarie Park for us Westies??

  • It's an OZB party here!

    • +4

      The prizes at Central Park has ran out. Come back at 4 pm

      • Will they return at 4?

    • +2

      Should start a chant, OzBargain, oi oi oi

    • +8

      By an OZB party you mean everyone quietly standing in line on their phones trying everything to avoid human contact?

  • +1

    I might fly down from Melbourne, nothing like that round here 😂

    • You'd be going the wrong way, you need to fly up from Melbourne.

      • 😂😂😂😂😂

  • +1

    The central kiosk has told people to stop lining up. There are about 50 left and the line seems about 50.

    • Yeah this should be marked expired. Good deal though

    • They refilled it, but looks like there aren't many left again.

  • Melbourne here - looks like following Mastercard on Insta is the smart thing to do!

  • +3

    I don't even understand the commercial reason for MasterCard to promote themselves.

    They don't actually issue cards ( only American Express does, as far as I know ). You are stuck 'stuck' with them if whatever bank your with issues Mastercard.

    No one picks a bank based on whether they get MasterCard or Visa ( assuming people are rational ) so why do they do advertising?

    And I work at a bank ( just no where near the payments and cards areas ).

    • +8

      Most people have all three, Visa, Master and AMEX. If Mastercard can make them the primary card to put in their wallet and actually use it for everyday purchase, they get more revenue from transactions.
